Before Nora, Casey and Lizzie the Venturi's lived in Glen Oak where fourteen year-old Derek Venturi had a bad habit trying to pick up girls and getting into a lot of fights. With a reputation like his it was going to be hard to get the one person he really wanted because the person he really wanted was Ruthie Candem.
He watched her in the halls he watched her in class he couldn't concentrate on his work because he was always staring at her. But he knew he would never get a chance to prove his reputation wrong with her father in all. Derek and Reverend Candem don't see eye to eye every since he and Simon once got into a fight. Since that day they both stayed clear of each other. But Derek just had to date Ruthie he had to! Then it hit him, I'll just go to church on Sunday and act like I changed a grin appeared on his face. "Perfect" he said out loud. "No Derek not perfect you failed again" His teacher said looking at him. Derek shrunk in his seat embarrassed as Ruthie giggled.
When Derek got home that night he had to tell someone he looked around. "Edwin!" he yelled. Edwin appearing out of nowhere gave a look of fear. "Yes, Derek?" He said nervously. Derek smiled. "Guess where we are going on Sunday?" Derek asked. "No where?" Edwin guessed. Nothing usually happened on Sundays in there home. "Nope were going to church" Derek answered with a straight face. Edwin was in shock then looked at his brother suspiciously. "Who's the girl?" he asked. "Edwin I'm hurt," Derek held his hand on his heart. "Why would you assume it has something to do with a girl?" Derek questioned in mock innocence. Edwin laughed. "Are you kidding it always has to do with a girl" Derek knew it was true. "Remember that girl with the nice mom and tomboy sister we met? She had brown hair and brown eyes and she was kind of preppy I think her name was Ca-" Edwin was saying but Derek interrupted him. Derek grabbed him by his collar. "We never talk about my past" Derek threatened. Terrified Edwin nodded his head. Derek smiled. "Now to tell dad" Derek said with a laugh.
George Venturi was in the kitchen making dinner when he turned and faced his son. "Hi Derek looks like were having macaroni and cheese again" George said with a sarcastic tone. "Where's mom?" Derek asked. George threw up his hands as to say who knows? Derek nodded understanding. "Dad on Sunday I'm going to church, so I will have to wake up early, I was hoping you could join me as well you and mom" Derek told his father. His father stood for awhile then laughed as he said. "Sorry my brain stopped after you said I'm going to church so I will have to wake up early" George joked. Derek wasn't impressed. "Come on dad I'm trying to get closer to God" Derek protested. George only laughed harder. "God? More like a certain lady that made you fail your test today" he said in between laughs. Derek gave his father a how did you know look. "I just do now if you're serious about this then I'll take you" George said. Derek smiled.
"Smarti guess where were going to on Sunday?" Derek asked his little sister. "Disneyland? Wonderland? Where?" she said anxiously. Derek shaked his head. Marti automatically started to cry. Derek held her. "Were going to church" Derek told her. Marti stopped crying and looked at her brother. "Who's the girl?" Marti asked. Derek bit his lip. "Ruthie but you can't tell anyone promise?" Derek asked. Marti smiled. "I promise" she vowed and they did their special handshake.
