She paints her nails and she don't know,
He's got her best friend on the phone.
She'll wash her hair, his dirty clothes,
Or all he gives to her.
And he's got posters on the wall
Of all the girls he wished she was.
And he means everything to her.
I watched as she sat at the table painting her nails the bright red he liked on her so much. Everyone knows what's going on, but she stays oblivious and faithful. Forever faithful. For those of you that don't know, I'm Derek and I'm talking about Casey. Her supposed boyfriend, Sam, is cheating on her with her best friend, Emily. And everyone seems to notice but her. He means the world to her and yet he treats her like shit. I've seen all the posters on his wall. I turned to him and asked him about them once. He turned and told me that when he's with Casey, he imagines their heads on her body. She's oblivious to it all.
Her boyfriend,
He don't know
Anything
About her.
He's too stoned,
Nintendo.
I wish that I could make her see,
She's just the flavor of the week
Sam, he doesn't know a single thing about her, her favourite colour, favourite food, birthday, nothing. Not like I do. He pays to much attention to his video games and none on her. If he's not playing, he's with Emily. I just wish that I could be the one with her. I would never do anything like that to her. But she's to good for me. But Sam certainly does NOT deserve her. For him, she's just the flavor of the week.
It's Friday night and she's all alone,
He's a million miles away.
She's dressed to kill, but the TV's on,
He's connected to the sound.
And he's got pictures on the wall
Of all the girls he's loved before,
And she knows all his favorite songs.
The following Friday she's home alone. Everyone's gone except us. Nora and dad took Edwin, Marty and Lizzie to ChuckE. Cheese. I watch on the stairs as she watches TV. Sam has of course ditched her for Emily. He called earlier and said he had to cancel their date for a family get together. Filthy liar. I don't know what she sees in him. I would treat her so much better. I wouldn't ignore her, I'd always be there for her. But she will never see me as anything more than an annoying step-brother.

Yeah.
Sam doesn't know a thing about her. Not like I do. I just wish I could show her that she's just the flavour of the week. And to him, that's all she'll ever be.
"Come down if you want to watch TV that bad Derek," she called out to me. I smiled and walked down sitting beside her instead of my chair. I looked at her and decided tonight would be the night. The night when I tell her everything. How Sam is cheating on her and how I love her.
"Uh...Casey look, I know this is hard for you but Sam is-" she cut me off.
"Cheating on me. I know. Our date was cancelled cause I broke up with him. I've known for a while. I just thought he would stop. He didn't," she confessed. I smirked. It's just like her to know these kind of things.
"Oh, well I just wanted to tell you...that I love you," I told her.
"Are you serious? Or do you just feel sorry for me?" She asked angrily.
"No! I'm serious!" I defended myself. Her response was kissing me. Full on the lips. I was the happiest person in the world. Nothing could ruin my mood.

Yeah she's the flavor of the week
She makes me weak.
