Chapter 1

Look Who Derek is Dating

Casey was sitting in class twirling her hair like she normally did when she was either angry or bored. And right now she was very bored considering there were only 15 minuets of school left.

Then the bell rang and everyone rushed out of the classroom like a stampede but Casey stayed back so she wouldn't get ran over. Then she went to her locker to get her stuff. She grabbed all the books and stuffed them into her bag. Then she looked at her mirror and there in the corner was Derek her very popular obnoxious stepbrother lip locking with her best friend Emily who she knew had a crush on her stepbrother for a very long time. Casey knew that they would go out but never thought that they would make-out or kiss for that matter. When she saw this, a chill went up her spine and for a tiny second wished it was her with Derek but then the image went out her mind quickly and she rushed out of school trying not to be seen.

Later that night Nora and George were going out and Derek and Casey had to baby-sit even after the party incident.

"George has his cell phone if you need anything."

"We'll be back at about…2am and we expect Marti in bed at 8 and Edwin and Emily in bed at 9."

"You guys can stay up until whenever," Nora whispered to Casey.

"Can we watch 'Beauty and the Beast'?" Marti asked

"Sure kiddo," Casey said trying not to sound like didn't want to. Derek rolled his eyes.

"But I DON'T want to watch that," Edwin said.

"Then don't you and Lizzie can play a board game," Casey said.

1hr past and Marti went to bed. Lizzie and Edwin were playing clue. Derek was just reading something. She couldn't tell what it was though. Casey wanted to know what but didn't ask she just stared.

"What are you looking at?" Derek said ever cooley

"Your reading it's a miracle. What are you reading?" Casey asked.

"Nothing just… nothing," Derek said

Wow peculiar Casey thought.

2 more hours passed and Edwin and Lizzie went to bed. Casey and Derek were now left alone. And Casey was twirling her hair because she was bored. So she suddenly blurted out:

"When did you start dating Emily?" She covered her mouth in horror because she promised not to say anything.

"A few days ago"

"Oh"

"Why do you ask?"

"I don't know… it slipped"

"Ok"

"It's weird to me that you're dating my best friend."

"I just just…"

"Just?"

" I don't know."

" I'm going to go out with Emily tonite."

"Did mom and Dad say that was ok?"

"No please don't tell them."

"Fine…be back by 12"

He left and now she was very bored. But she started to think of Derek because even though Emily was her best friend she had a tendency to dump boyfriends fast so what would happen to Derek?
