Chapter 1

Derek's P.O.V.

"He's a player Case," I said seriously. She looked at me raising an eyebrow.

"Right," she said. "And you're not Derek! You think I am going to believe you when you tell me Max is a player? Why would I?"

"I don't know because it is the truth!"

"Don't players have some secret code to not tell on each other to other girls that they are players?"

"Wait," I said confused. "What? That doesn't even make sense!"

"Sure it doesn't for the great Derek Venturi!"

"Casey," I said looking at her. "I'm not lying!"

""Derek just admit it! You don't want me to date Max?"

"No," I said looking at her. "I don't! because he is a player!"

"That's not just it! You don't want me to date anyone!"

"Why would I care if you dated someone else?"

"I don't know," she said throwing her hands in the air. "Maybe because you're jealous!"

"Let me get this straight, because I tell you the truth about Max you accused me of being jealous of you?" She looked at me pointedly, and I burst out laughing.

"Good one Case!" I said looking at her angry expression. "Just watch out ok? That's all I'm saying! I know what jocks like Max are like. He gets all the girls he wants."

"What's the difference between you two then?" I said mockingly. "If you think it is such a bad thing then why do you keep doing it?"

"Case, I'm just looking out for you!"

"Whatever," she said turning towards the stairs. Halfway up the stairs she stops and turns around looking at me. "Just so you know I can take care of myself I don't need you to look after me!"

"Sure Case," I said smirking up at her. "We all know how you handled the whole klutzilla incident!"

She glared at me and stormed up the rest of the stair slamming her door shut.

Casey's P.O.V.

I can't believe the nerve of him. Telling me Max is a player! How dare he? I was fuming when Lizzie cautiously knocked on the door.

"Case?" she asked. "Are you ok?"

"NO!" I yelled receiving a flinch from Lizzie as I lay down on my bed. She walks over and sits down beside me.

"What's wrong?" She asked concerned.

"Who do you think?" I asked rolling my eyes.

"Derek?"

"Urgh, he's so annoying! You know he tried to tell me? He tried to say that Max was a player, and to watch out.! Liz, Derek the worst player in Canada, had the nerve to tell me that Max my kind, sweet, and caring boyfriend is a player!"

"Well," Lizzie said looking at me pointedly. "Maybe he was only trying to help you."

"Are you kidding me? The only time Derek ever tried to help me was when he started the whole Klutzilla thing. That was because it got out of control and he was the one who started it all! The he started calling me grade grubber! Yeah really trying to help Liz!"

"That's not true!" Lizzie said pointing a finger at me. "He tried to help you just when you didn't get your project done on time, and you lied to the teacher. He tried to help you get out of that mess if you remember!"

"Yeah," I said incredulous. "I remember that quite well. HE was the one who told me to lie to the teacher! He had no choice but to help me. He had his own reputation to worry about!"

"Case, he could have just left you there hanging. To deal with it on your own."

"Whose side are you on anyways?" I asked looking at her.

"Yours, but Case all I'm saying is that maybe he could be right? Players know who other players are! You herd yourself from other girls Derek has gone out with that he has been nothing but sweet to them on dates. He could be just helping you out so you don't get hurt."

I hate it when she gets all smart on me and makes a point. I swear she will be a great psychologist one day.

"Yeah," I said sighing. "You're right."

"I know," Lizzie said smiling. "Now since you're ok I am going to go downstairs and watch T.V."

"Have fun, Derek was down there watching TV before we got into our fight. It was a hocky game too!"

Lizzie groaned and continued to walk out the door towards the stairs. I did hear a few complaining marks from Lizzie which meant Derek was still down there watching his game. I laughed. Typical Derek!
