I was sitting in my room putting on lip gloss when Derek stood in the doorway.

"I thought you were going to a party?"

"I am." I stated, putting down the stick and looking at him cautiously. "Why?"

"Well because it's not Halloween, so I don't know why you're putting on that mask."

I glared at him, and then turned back in the mirror, putting up my hair. "Ha ha! You are so immature." I scoffed.

"Better to be immature than ugly."

And he walked off. I groaned and looked at my reflection. I was a beautiful, smart, charming young woman and I didn't give a darn about what he said. "I'm going to have a good time

with Sam and then be able to rub it in Derek's face when I say I've been to a 'wild' party."

"You're going to a wild party?"

Lizzie came in and jumped onto the end of my bed. She looked up at me with gorgeous eyes. I smiled at her as I laced my fingers together.

"Well I wouldn't say it will get that wild! I mean after all, the only people that are going to be there are Sam and I, his cousin and his girlfriend, and his cousin's friend and his girl. So

basically we'll probably be watching a movie or playing video games or something of the like."

"So it's not really a party?"

"It's a party to me." I started innocently. "There aren't going to be chaperones, so basically it is a party."

Lizzie looked at me with a cute smile. "You know sis, I think we're both too sheltered."

I smiled back at her as I ruffled her hair. "You have no idea." I giggled.

"Casey! Sam's here!" Derek yelled from bellow. "Should I tell him you're a little busy on the pot?"

I gasped as I ran downstairs embarrassed, as Lizzie followed right behind me. "I was not and you know it!"

Sam smiled gorgeously and took my hand. "It's ok; I know Derek's just kidding."

"Awe! You're so sweet Sam!" I said, leaning my head against the crook of his neck.

Derek made a gagging face along with Edwin making a vomit sound. Lizzie hit Edwin for me and I thanked her.

"How long do you plan on taking the dog out? Because if you wanted to, you could keep her." Derek winked to his best friend, as I rolled my eyes.

"I see no problems taking Casey home with me." Sam said back, and I couldn't help but smile at my Prince Charming.

"I'll be back before eleven. Mom, George I'm leaving!"

Mom came into the living room, followed by George who had on another ridiculous sweater on. Mom gave me a quick but tight loving hug.

"You have fun dear. And your curfew is 11, all right?"

"Yes mother, I know. Have a goodnight everyone."

"Oh actually your mother and I are going to take Marti to see 'Barbie Fairy Princess on Ice' so Derek will be babysitting." George said, taking out his wallet and handing twenty bucks to

Derek. "That is if he agrees no wild parties."

"Please Dad. After being grounded so many times, don't you think I've learned my lesson?" Derek smiled not-so-innocently.

"Mhm-hmm. Edwin and Lizzie will make sure to give us a call if anything goes wrong." George looked at the both of them as my mom made way out the front door. "Phone number is on

the fridge."

Once Mom and George left with Marti, Derek handed them each ten bucks. "And you two never found it, right?" He winked.

"Of course. We'll be in my room playing X-Box until Casey comes home." Edwin replied.

And with that, the two left upstairs. I glared at Derek.

"Oh so that's why you agreed to babysit."

"That and also for the money I'll be getting. Now get going you two, I don't want my date to see you."

"Of course not." I rolled my eyes. Then I waved a hand at Derek. "Good night Derek."

"Yeah, yeah." He said nonchalantly, slamming the door closed.

I held onto Sam's arm as he walked me to his car. "So is this going to be a fun night or what?" I giggled happily.

"Oh it definitely will be Casey. I promise." He winked at me.

He pulled up in front of his house. And at first I didn't think anything was wrong until I noticed something was wrong.

"Sam? Where are we?" I smiled confused.

He took my hand. "My house."

"Yeah, but. Why are the lights off?"

"Because nobody is home, silly." He said as he pushed open the door. I didn't walk in with him and he pulled my hand a little. "Why? What's wrong?"

"Sam, I dunno. It's just you and me?"

"Yeah. Casey, don't tell me you're getting shy on me now?" He teased as he leaned down and planted a kiss on my forehead.

"No not shy, it's just. What about that party?"

"I said that to get your parents to believe me." I was now pulled inside gently by Sam.

I looked around feeling awkward as I saw empty bedrooms and dark hallways. "And your family is-?"

"On a vacation. I told them I'd just say with Derek."

"But didn't you tell your parents we were dating?"

He chuckled as he pulled me into a tight embrace and settled us down on the couch. "Why would I wanna do that when I finally have a chance alone with you?"

I giggled nervously as he started playing with my hair. The only light we had was from the TV in front of us and the kitchen light which was around the corner. No I'm not afraid of the

dark, but I didn't know if it was a surprise party waiting to happen. But the more I wondered, the more Sam got free with his hands. He touched the back of my neck softly.

"You're so beautiful Casey." He said, now leaning down to kiss my neck.

I gave out a weak chuckle. He pulled my arms around his waist as his hands did the same. Now he was running his hands up and down my back. When he pulled away from my neck, he

started whispering in my ear.

"It's ok Casey. There's nothing to be nervous about. I won't hurt you."

I closed my eyes and felt his lips trail across mine. I gave out tiny whimpers as I felt his hands go around my waist. After that, I started feeling a little more relaxed. And the sounds of the

TV were drowned out by both Sam and I together. After we had stopped making love, I heard a faint noise coming from somewhere under the couch.

"My cell phone!" I gasped as I got out from Sam's embrace and reached for my phone.

11:30

"Shit!" I gasped again, and fumbled around in the faint light for my underwear. "I was supposed to be home forty minutes ago! Oh I bet mom's worried!"

"Relax, it's ok. I'll explain everything to your parents. Trust me, you won't get in trouble." Sam said, and started helping me gather my clothes as he got his put back on.

After I got my shirt back on and got into Sam's car, I opened my phone to see 3 voice mails, 12 text messages, and 4 missed calls on my phone's screen. I checked the texts to see they

were all from my mother. But when I looked at the call list, the one call out of the three was from someone I didn't expect.

"Derek called me?"

"Probably trying to get a hold of me." Sam said, stopping at the stop sign. "Did he leave a message?"

"I dunno, let me check."

I held the phone up to my ear. After the phone made me press a bunch of numbers, I finally got to Inbox.

"Message from Derek. Sent at 11:30pm." There was a pause then I heard Derek's voice faint. "Hey Casey, Nora and Dad are pissed. They caught me making out with Stacy and now are

pretty mad that you aren't home. Hope you get home soon, they're about ready to raise some hell. Oh by the way tell Sam I want my Space Wars: Galaxy Clones 2 game back. Peace."

Then he was gone. Sam laughed.

"What's so funny? My mom is going to ground me forever!"

Sam shook his head. "No, I just remembered I had Derek's game and it's still at my house. I should go get it." He was pondering turning back around.

"No way! I need to get home. I'll tell Derek you'll give it back tomorrow, ok?"

"Ok babe."

That stunned me. Babe? I wasn't a babe to him. I was his Casey. I only expected the word 'babe' to come from Derek's mouth. I looked at Sam while he drove. He still looked gentle and

loving, like the Sam I'm in love with. When he noticed me looking at him he smiled. "What honey?"

"Nothing!" I said quickly, and then looked back at the road to see familiar houses arise.

"I'll see you at school tomorrow ok?" Sam said, rubbing my thigh gently.

I shivered from his touch as I smiled at him shyly again. "Yeah. See you tomorrow."

"Love you." He gave me a kiss on the lips and then waved me a good bye as he drove off.

"Love you too."

It was after he drove off I realized he was supposed to be the one to lie to my parents. I ran up to the door and opened it slowly.

"Casey Lynn Mcdonald! Where HAVE you been?" I heard my mother yell from the top of her lungs.

"I'm so very sorry Mom! Sam and I were – well we were having such a blast with his family that I forgot where I put my phone and then the movie just got over! I'm so sorry Mom!"

I started crying. Only because a) I knew my mom couldn't resist my tears and b) I had sex for the first time and couldn't tell her that now my wedding dress would have to be an offset

white.

Later on around 1am I was awake. I rolled around in my sleep, well, what little sleep I had had. Sam was all I could think about, and before it used to be in that romantic, going to marry

him one day kind of way. Now it was more of a questioning thought.

"I wonder if he's going to tell everyone at school. I wonder if it's noticeable when you lose your virginity."

Knock. Knock.

"Casey, it's me, Derek. Can I come in?" I heard Derek whisper from under the door.

At first I jumped when I heard the knocks, but then slowly opened my door for him to come in.

"Sure come in. But be quiet."

"No, I thought you'd like to do some karaoke and aerobics right now." He used sharp sarcasm and fumbled around in the dark with me.

When I finally got the light to turn on he was sitting on the edge of my bed.

"So, tell me what happened."

"What?" I said looking at him shocked. "What happened? When? I don't know what you're talking about."

"You're a bad liar Casey. What really happened between you and my best friend?"

"None of your business pervert."

"How exactly is that being a pervert?" He raised his eyebrow at me, giving a devilish smile. And then got a curious look on his face. "Wait - is that a hicki?"

I started blushing and ran to my mirror. "What?!"

Derek started laughing. "Ha ha fooled you! Now you have to spill."

I turned around and glared at him. "Asshole, get out!"

Derek threw up his hands in defense. "Whoa Casey, calm down. I'm just playing."

"Yeah well, you shouldn't joke about things like that!" I started yelling.

He furrowed his brow. "Shh! Keep your voice down. Joke about things like what?"

"Like virginity and sex all right! Now, just, get out!"

My voice had knocked down a couple tones, but I was still angry with him. Derek took a couple steps towards my door, and then looked back at me.

"Did you have sex with Sam?'

"And if I did? So what? Is that any of your business?" I snapped back. But Derek didn't get protective this time. He just looked down at the ground.

"How could he?"

"What?" I asked, starting to feel tears coming down my cheeks.

Once Derek saw the tears he started to open the door. "Never mind. Go back to bed Casey."

Again he was gone, and my door was shut. I just stood there looking at it while thinking about both Sam and Derek. I wonder if they had this all planned out from the very beginning. Derek

will spread rumors that I'm a whore. Klutzilla the whore. Now I can't wait to get back to school. I wonder if Derek would actually do that to me. As those thoughts swarmed my head, I fell into a

long, deep sleep.
