"Anybody home?" Casey said as she walked through the front door and put her house key back in her purse.
Casey and Derek got out of school at the same time, but Casey stayed behind to work on a project with a girl in her English class, Sarah, so Sarah gave her a ride home.
"Kitchen." Derek replied from the back of the house.
Casey dropped her bag and put her coat on the coat rack, then made her way towards the kitchen.
"Where is everyone?" She asked as she rounded the corner and entered the kitchen, then stopped dead in her tracks.
Derek was holding her Weight Watchers ice cream bar boxes in his hands.
"What are these?" Derek asked accusingly.
"Uhm – ice cream?" Derek said sheepishly.
"Why in the world do you have Weight Watchers food? Do you think you're FAT or something?" Derek asked, wide eyed at the mere thought of it. "Because, you know, you're not a cow. You're, uhm, normal sized and everything." Derek finished.
"Thanks." Casey rolled her eyes. "It's not that I think I'm fat - these are just better for you than regular ice cream bars and come on, Derek, they taste good. But weren't those hidden out in the garage freezer?
"Nora wanted me to get out some chicken to defrost for dinner. But don't change the subject. Diet food that tastes good?" Derek scoffed, throwing out the word 'diet' like a curse. "This is just another weird Casey habit."
Casey walked over to Derek, took the box of Giant Cookie and Cream bars, plucked one out, unwrapped it, and held it out to Derek.
"Eat." She commanded.
Derek sighed and took the bar from her, tentatively licking the top layer of topping.
"Not bad, I guess." Derek said, biting into it.
"Can I have my bars back now? I'll go put them back in the freezer in the garage."
"No!" Derek exclaimed, moving the boxes out of Casey's reach.
Casey grinned as she regarded Derek's practically non-existent ice cream bar.
"I was right, wasn't I?"
Derek just glared at Casey as he finished off the snack in one last bite.
