SNEEZING

"Casey, what is the matter with you?" Derek asked as he watched Casey go through the kitchen cabinets frantically.

"Ugh! I've had to sneeze for like…3 days! I haven't been able to. I get the feeling like I need to and it just never comes! Seriously, Derek! I'm not exaggerating. It's Tuesday morning and I've had to sneeze since Saturday afternoon!" Casey exclaimed slamming the cabinet close and sinking onto a stool across from Derek.

Derek grinned at her obvious distress over such a little thing. His smile only grew as Casey glared at him.

"Fine, Casey. If you need to sneeze that badly, I'll help you out. Now did you try inhaling pepper?"

Casey raised her eyebrow skeptically. "What kind of moron do you think I am?" Seeing Derek about to reply she quickly cut him off. "Don't answer that; it was rhetorical. Anyways, yes. I did try inhaling pepper…and it obviously didn't work."

Derek rolled his eyes at her. "Ok then, genius. Come here." He grabbed her arm and pulled her outside to the back yard.

"Look up at the sun. Bright lights usually help someone to sneeze."

Casey followed his direction. She looked at the bright sun and waited. And waited. And waited. After a good five minutes she turned to Derek.

"Well that didn't help. Now I have to sneeze and my eyes hurt!"

Derek and Casey walked back inside. "I think this is going to be harder than I thought," Derek said. "But don't worry. Case. I got your back." He lightly pushed Casey onto the stool and went into the other room.

Derek walked back in with a rag in his hand.

"What is that?" Casey asked.

Derek extended his arm towards her, his hand in her face. In his hand he had a raggedy cloth that was covered in dust.

"Eww!" Casey shrieked and shoved his hand away. "What on Earth do you have that for?"

Derek looked at her as if she were stupid. "To make you sneeze. Dust makes people sneeze, thus I bring you dust. Come on, stick your face down there and inhale." Derek tried to put it back in her face and Casey just shoved it away incredulously.

"No, thank you! I would rather have to sneeze! That is just gross and unsanitary! Throw it out!"

Derek shook his head and tossed the rag into the garbage. He sat down across from Casey once again, propping his head into his hands and looking at her thoughtfully.

"Try putting your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Then slide it backwards until you can't anymore. Flick at the roof of your mouth with the tip of your tongue. That should make you sneeze in a few minutes."

Casey looked at him skeptically.

"What? I read." Derek responded defensively.

Casey sighed and tried it. After a few minutes and still no sneeze, Derek gave up.

"You're hopeless, Casey! Come on out to the car, we're going to be late for school."

"Hey! I came to you for help! If anyone is the hopeless one, it's you!" Casey yelled at the back of his head.

Throughout the rest of the morning whenever Derek saw Casey, she looked miserable. At lunch, Derek felt his phone vibrate three times. Pulling the phone out of his pocket, while continuing his conversation with Ralph and Sam, Derek opened the text message.

I SNEEZED ;)

Derek broke out into a big smile and looked up. His eyes searched around the cafeteria and finally spotted Casey. Casey gave him a big smile, looking happier than she had all day.

Derek shot Casey a questioning look, as if to ask her how she finally sneezed.

Casey blushed and nodded towards Max. She scrunched up her nose and shook her head as if to say he smelled really bad.

Derek burst out laughing, not noticing the strange looks coming from his friends. He lifted up his water bottle in a silent toast to Casey.

Casey smiled and nodded her thanks to him; she then turned to Emily to continue their conversation.

"That girl is hopeless." Derek murmured to himself. He then tuned back into his friends and their conversation; a smile still set on his face.
