I put on my jacket and looked at my watch sighing. "DE-REK! HURRY UP AND GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE," I shouted up the stairs. "Why," he shouted back. "WE HAVE SCHOOL!" "Just chill," he came bounding down the stairs. "No I won't 'chill' until we are in the car and heading to school! I can't be late I have a record to up hold. Don't make me leave without you because I did figure out where those keys are," I crossed my arms across my chest. Derek's eyes got wide with worry. "I'm hurrying just don't leave me. If I 'miss' school again dad said he is going to ground me and he sounded serious." "Not my problem," I said with a sly smile. "Please Princess Casey. I just need to grab something to eat your not going to make me wait until lunch are you?" I rolled me eyes and he ran off to the kitchen.

I shook my head seeing the donut in his hand when he walked back. "Have you ever eaten something healthy?" He ran his hand threw his hair in thought. "Um, I think once when I was a baby. Why?" "Never mind," I laughed. We went to Prince and he turned on some hard rock station. I can't listen to this again after listening to it half the night yesturday. "Can you PLEASE turn that crap off," I snarled. "Wow, Princess what dirty language you have and no I will not," Derek smirked. "Let me rephrase that. Turn that grabage off or I'll break your neck." "Give me one reason why," Derek looked at me slightly. "I did!" "Right but I don't think your actually capable of breaking my neck with those little girly hands." "Shut up and drive," I turned off the radio myself. "Turn it back on or so help me I will pull over. You want to be late?"

I turned it back on quickly with a huff. Derek smirked once again. I decided to distract myself with checking some of my homework over. I only found one mistake which I fixed happily. It was nice not fighting with him for once. "What are you doing?" And there is goes. "I'm checking my homework over. Do you have a problem with that?" "Nope Just wanted to know why you were so quiet. You know because the Princess usually has something to say." "Stop calling me that!" "What?" "You know what," I gave him a dirty look. Derek laughed.

"Fine...Klutzilla." All the old memories flooded back to me and I shuddered. "Okay! You can call me Princess but try to limit it." "Whatever." There was a silence again and before I could begin to check more of my homework we were at school. "You need to get a new set of wheels," Derek turned to me. "Right. Hmm, if I do that you will have to pay for this car by yourself and help me buy my own," I stepped out of the car. "Forget I said. Well see ya Princess," Derek went off instantly surrounded by desperate girls and wanna be guys. I sighed following slowly behind the massacre. At my locker Emily was there with a huge grin on her face. "Hey Emily. Whats up," I began to put things in my locker and take some books out. "Today we are going to be assigned a baby." My jaw dropped. "Not real ones." "Oh thank god," I smiled, "And why does this excite you so?" "Well we are also assigned partners and the new guy is in my class. I am praying that we are together AND the dance is coming up," Emily happy danced.

I don't think I have seen her so excited. "Awesome! I hope you and the new guy. Whats his name?" "Christian," she giggled. I nodded slowly. "Right Christian. I hope you two get a baby together," I smiled at her. "I thought you were going to be even more excited about me. I mean taking care of a baby and a dance. Whats up with you?" I bit my lip. I usually would be freaking out taking care of a baby, name, the sex of the child (or doll), what to wear to the dance, and who was going to be my partner. Yet I wasn't. "I'm excited. Just a little tired," I yawned. That was the truth.

I was really tired with barely any sleep whatsoever. Derek was playing his music really loud, and I had to keep studying up all night, and then I started thinking about my future and what if it all went down hill. So yeah I was out of it. "Were you thinking about your future again," Emily gave me a look. The bell rang and everyone hurried off to class. Emily didn't need need to hear the story again anyway.
