Derek's POV

Hi my names Derek Venturi and this is my story about how I lost my reputation for being a player by falling for the school klutz, oh and I gained a few other things but I will leave them till the end of the story to tell you. Firstly let me tell you about groups in our school. There are 3 main groups, the hockey team which btw I'm the captain of, the cheerleaders and the geeks, now what would happen if the head cheerleader turned geek and the captain of the hockey team fell for her. Can a geek and a popular really date? find out what happened to a beautiful yet clumsy girl called Casey and the king of babes Derek. It all started 1 year ago….

I was walking down the hallway checking out the ladies when suddenly I felt my head hurt as I fell to the ground, when I opened my eyes I saw a girl. She had long silky dark brown hair that was tied back, I couldn't see her face because she had her head down ,she was collecting the stuff that was dropped and seemed to be in a rush she had the tradional school uniform on and glasses, her figure was amazing I noted.

When she arose she stood up facing me "I'm so sorry"

With that she was gone. I couldn't stop thinking about her all day I had caught a glimpse of her eyes they were blue and I felt like I could stare at them forever. I began to wonder how good she would look without the glasses. Another question pondered on my mind ,she looked familiar I let the question drop as I left for hockey practice. That's when I saw her again sitting on the benches reading .I approached her

"So…do you like hockey?"

She just looked up at me with a blank face

"No"

"No so why are you in the schools hockey stadium?" I asked

"If you really must know its because I like it here and there's usually noone here and I was just leaving"

"Oh" I just stared at her "my names Derek"

"I know who you are"

"Ok but I don't know who you are" I said giving her my trademark grin.

She just rolled her eyes "Again if you really must know my names Casey"

"Casey as in the former head cheerleader Casey?"

She just nodded

I was shocked that this girl was the former cheerleader hottie known as Casey Macdonald. "Wow no wonder you look so familiar you're the hottest geek around!"

With that comment she stood up and stormed off.

"DAM!" I cursed "I should NOT have called her a geek."

Later on at dinner I went to sit with my best friend Sam but noticed Casey she was sitting at a table all alone she looked sad, realizing that I at least needed to go over and apologize for my comment earlier I again approached her.

"Hi"

She looked up and frowned "oh its you"

"Who were expecting…. Santa clause" I laughed

She just glared and went back to her meal

"Can I sit down?"

"If you must" she said not even looking at me

"Listen I wanted to apologize for calling you a geek earlier so I'm sorry"

"You should be!" She snapped and her head shot up to glare at me "you know how little people talk to me and when they do all it is ,is abuse!" She looked like she was gunna cry

Feeling bad I knew I had to do something

"Hey don't sit here all alone come sit with me and my best friend he won't mind"

She seemed reluctant but stood and followed me over

Sam's face when I brought Casey over was priceless ,I swear I wish I had a camera he just stared at us as we sat down

"Sam this is Casey"

"Hi"

"Hi" she smiled weakly that's when I realized how much I loved her smile and that's when we were interrupted by no other than Emily Davis from what I had heard about Casey's past Emily used to be her best friend but when Casey's grades started dropping she had to quit cheerleading and Emily took over as head cheerleader. I didn't like Emily she was always touching me and sending me love letters she thinks of me as her property.

"Hi Derek" Emily cooed putting her arms around me "what are you doing hanging around someone like her" she said as she eyed Casey.

"She"….I pushed her arm away ,"is my friend and I want YOU I said looking at her to go away."

Emily sure got the message because she just stomped off back to the table full of cheerleaders.

"Thanks" I heard her say looking up at me now from across the table and giving me a genuine smile. I knew asking this girl out wasn't going to work but I knew was would, it was a risk I was willing to take… for her…

"Your welcome listen, would you like to come round to study tomorrow? I hear we have a test coming up in English." Sam who was drinking coke spat it out all over me while his eyes bulged out in shock at hearing me offer to study.

I angrily turned to face him

"Dude!"

"Sorry it's just you study" he laughed. The idea of Derek Venturi doing homework was laughable. I was brought back to reality by the sound of sweet laugher; I turned and saw Casey nearly crying with laughter. I tried to ignore it though "so you never answered my question"

She smiled "and what is your idea of studying?" she said raising an eyebrow

"Books, paper, pen, me and you " I said in a genuine tone

"Yeah right!" she laughed, "like you would do homework"

"I will!" I jumped in "for you" I said taking her hand and giving her my pleading eyes

She just laughed and smiled "ok we could walk home together"

"Ok" I smiled

And in my head I thought

Yes I have a date well a study date but a dates a date right?
