Hello! Well I promised a very dear friend of mine that I was going to make a oneshot dedicated solely to her and her magnificent presences, ( flattery gets you everywhere eh? Haha just kidding! You know I love you) So here it is! Love ya ForbiddenEmotion! My Han-Han!

Disclaimer: I only own the idea that came to me as I tried to sleep.

"One…two…three…four…"

"Paul!"

"Casey!" His voice is that of mock surprised and he simply smiles at his usual, consistent student whom frequently raids his office throughout the entire school week looking for aide.

"Major Problem Paul!"

"Let me guess…" He places his hand upon his chin and 'ponders' all possibilities, knowing full well the girl across from him his now growing vehement in wanting attention as to continue her story.

"Derek?" "Yes!" "Really-" "Of course!" "So-" "Casey…"

Here is a silence and Casey decided to take a deep breath and then start talking in what, her and Paul have discussed, a comprehensible, coherent manner.

"Right, well Derek has been acting really weird lately-No Paul don't give me that look, I mean it this time, not my usual he's being somewhat clean or I have suspicions that he doing some illegal activity, or that he is planning some major prank on me-What!"

Paul always had this way of telling Casey what he thought just by a mere glance, or maybe that was just Casey's overactive imagination and really her inner self was just giving her all the answers to her constant perpetual questions and not really, the man in front of her, Paul.

"You're right Paul maybe I'm just imagining things again, why do I do this? I'm a horrible horrible person!" Tears start to grace the adolescent's eyes and Paul sighs urging her to stop.

"Casey, now don't cry, let's start from the beginning what has gotten you so ticked?"

"Derek!"

"Um…that much is known from the minute you step into my office…"

"Right…well, You see lately I've been noticing…a pattern of sorts."

"Which is?"

The girl fidgeted in her seat and Paul started to become concerned, Casey never held back anything from her session from Paul, especially anything about Derek, the main source of their conversation.

"Well, you see, Derek's been, I don't know, unusually…"

"Cruel?"

"No no…nice." Paul laughed for the words mixed together was rarely, no correction, never done. " Really now?"

"Yeah! So I'm worried."

"Maybe you should be-" "What!" her screech caused him to stutter.

"Um-uh-um I mean-I mean, why…why don't you start with some examples of him being nice?"

"Oh…well. Okay! Remember that time when I had to…" the girl made a chocking noise. " lie, to get an extension on my science project?"

"The one with your dead imaginary dog Bob?"

"Paul! Don't remind me…and yes."

"Un huh."

"Well You know, Derek helped me…"

"He made you lie." She huffed and he couldn't help but make a smirk, he knew where this was going, after all Paul was a very smart man.

"Okay, moving on…Lizzie's coach. Well I sort of went on a few dates with him, and guess what."

"Oh I remember this!"

"Yeah! And to think that Derek actually went through all of the trouble to get all of that jerk's girlfriends to our house just to show me the truth."

"Right…But didn't he go out with one of the girls afterwards?"

"…right."

"….." There was an uncomfortable silence before Paul coughed while looking at his watch, Casey then sprang to a jolt. " Okay! Okay! Well…when Derek found out that I was the one that did the major prank on the new principle, to get back at him, he didn't tell the principle it was me!"

"Right, but didn't you complain saying that he was getting credit and even more popularity because of it?"

"…Okay Paul…you're not funny." She crossed her arms and glared at him.

"Heh…Casey-" "Wait!" The man made a small 'eep' sound, terrified of Casey's little tantrums and hoping soon lunch would be over, and he could eat in what little time he had afterwards. He stared off at his food…yum…salami, ham and cheese sandwich, just waiting to be devoured and tasted in all it's glorious- "PAUL!"

Jumping in his chair he almost fell off it again " Huh-what!"

"You weren't even paying attention!"

"Sorry…continue."

"Well what about that time Derek actually genuinely said 'Thank you' to me huh?"

"He said 'thank you'? Wow that is a feat. Why'd he say thank you?"

"Um…" her eyes were downcast and she mumbled something and Paul innocently asked her to speak up not knowing the whiplash to become of it. " BECAUSE I GOT HIM WITH KENDRA!"

"Whoa…"

"Oh, sorry. Heh Heh…anyways. I think I'll go now…"

"Wait wait wait." The girl stopped at the door halfway turning the knob to exit the room.

"Kendra, the girl you told me about that Derek actually liked?" A small nod allowed him to continue. " I see…Casey does Kendra bother you?"

She turned at this. "What? Of course not, sure she's a little…spacey, but she's cool."

"No I mean, does she bother you because she's with Derek?"

"No…I mean sometimes it gets kind of annoying when she calls a lot, but I guess that's how I was with Sam…"

"Casey."

"Huh?"

"Have you ever considered the possibility that maybe, it is bothering you because now she has taken Derek away from you now that you are actually growing accustomed to his presence…maybe even start to like him?"

"What! Ew Paul NO!" How could you think that! Like Derek?! Me?! Like as in LIKE-"

"Casey."

"How could you possibly-"

"I meant as a brother, like as a sibling, like as a friend, oh god…migraine."

"oh…"

"Listen, this session is almost over, class is about to start, Maybe…" the man looked up from his throbbing head pain and his sights on his desk holding his scrumptious looking lunch to the hand fiddling girl.

"Maybe I'm not the one you should be talking about this with." she looked up at him quizzically and he finished it off clandestinely. "Derek."

She nodded her head slowly, solemnly and excused herself softly. At the door before her frame was completely out of site she spoke just as soft, finishing her speech to the man she held in revere. "He didn't want me to cry, so he called my dad to come back. Just so I didn't have to cry."

Paul nodded pathetically, at a lost for words, for even he himself knew, even though he kept trying to give excuses for the boy, that Derek's actions were strange, the reasons unknown to them and their oblivious natures yet painfully obvious to him.

Finally they were starting to get it.

"Take care Casey." and with that she left and Paul started to munch on his food.

Casey knew where she was headed, time to track Derek down and get some answers. After all now the only one she can go to is Derek.

Let's just hope it doesn't end in a disaster…
