Chapter 1: Derek's Realization
"Sam, I just don't get it!" Derek confides to his best friend.
"What's not to get? You like Casey. I really don't see how you don't get that!" Sam states knowingly.
Derek shifts his phone to the other hand. "Yeah, but what I DON'T get is, why do I always act like…like…like…."
"You hate her?" Sam says cutting Derek off.
"Ummm yeah, exactly, how did you know?" Derek asks.
"WOW, D, are you serious, I just said how u ALWAYS act around her." Sam says rolling his eyes at his confused friend.
Derek stares and then feeling stupid says, "Ohhhh."
"Yeah and I have another question you have known Casey for a year! How long have you liked her?" Sam asks curiously.
"Okay….I know this is gonna sound weird, but… since I first saw her…I think." Derek states staring at Casey's closed bedroom door.
"Really? You have liked her for a year and haven't said anything, and still went on dates with other girls? D I don't get it. And why are you just telling me now?" Sam asks really confused now.
"Well, I guess I've know all along, but I'm just realizing it now. I don't know what to do! I went on a date last night and I wasn't really into it because I realized I liked Casey…and Sam you are not going to believe this...but…but…but…."
"But WHAT? Just spit it out!" Sam yells getting annoyed at how long it's taking Derek to just say what he needs to say.
"I didn't want to kiss my date!" Derek says sounding depressed.
"But…if you liked her all along then why is it affecting you just now?"
"I don't know that's why, I'm asking you!" Derek says annoyed now that am doesn't know the answer.
"Okaaaaaaay then, well I guess its because your realizing it now, but what did this girl do when you didn't kiss her, and who were you on a date with?"
"I was on a date with Brittany Yorkie, you know the hot girl in our French class."
"Awww man, you couldn't realize your obsession with Casey AFTER your date with Brittany?" Sam asked.
"Oh my god, SAM! That is NOT the point, the point is, what do I do about Casey?" Derek asked desperately.
"Oh….ummm...tell her?" Sam said unsurely.
"Sam, Sam, Sam, this is Casey we are talking about, now after these 12 months of me hating her do you really think she will believe me if I walk up to her and go Casey, umm I like you." Derek says sarcastically.
"Oh I can just see what she would say." Sam states laughing.
"DER-EK!" Sam and Derek say at the same time.
Sam and Derek start laughing and then Casey walks out of her bedroom and stands in the doorway of Derek's room.
"DER-EK! Get OFF the phone, I need to call Emily!" Casey complains
"DER-EK! Get off the phone!" Derek mocks.
"Uhhhh, your soooo immature!" Casey statses and leaves the room muttering something under her breath about how infuriating Derek is.
"SOOOO anyway where were we Sam." Derek says purposely loud so Casey will here him.
"Ummm how you're going to tell Casey you like her." Sam says in a umm how did you forget that sort of tone.
Derek walks across the room and closes the door, so he could tell Sam, what he just figured out.
"Sam, I don't think I like her." Derek says dramtically.
"What do YOU mean YOU don't like her? What the……."
Derek cuts him off. "I don't think I like her…..I think I LOVE her!"
"Oh come on you just realized you like her after a year, but now your saying you love her?"
"Yeah, I'm just remembering on TV how when the characters loved each other they acted mean to each other at first and then one of them realized they like the other character and told a friend, and that's what I'm doing with you. The character always realized the love each other after that. I know, I know it sounds all lovey dovey, but you don't feel what I feel when I'm in the same room as her."
"Oh... dude, I really don't know what you should do, look I got to go. Bye!" Sam says and then Derek hears Sam click off, meaning he's not there anymore.
"Oh God, what am I going to do?" Derek asks himself clicking off the phone!
