Author's Comments: I was having a little trouble writing my sequel because no ideas were really flowing through me. I have been watching that ABC Family hit series Greek, and I must say that I love it. I have also got to inform you that I was inspired by the show to write my sequel with certain characters in mind. Oh btw, this is still a Dasey story. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

Ashley and Michael are hanging out around Casey. Casey is by herself at the moment. Derek is, well Michael only knows where he is, doing what Michael only knows he is doing.

Michael: Hey Ash, whatcha doin'?

Ashley: (looks at Michael, slightly distracted) Oh, hey Michael. I'm just thinking of our new project from Paul.

Michael: Why do you want to start something new? We still have to get our charges back together. Look at Casey for example, she's a total mess.

Ashley: Oh shut up, Michael. I'm freakin' under house arrest because of you and your big mouth.

Michael: How is it my fault, Ash? You were the one in charge of Casey.

Ashley: You could look out for her just as well as I can.

Michael: Why do I have to be blamed for this? You need to take some responsibility for this mess. Truman came in, and you went awol on Casey.

Ashley: (remained silent for a minute) I had my reasons for not being around Casey and stopping her from dating Truman.

Michael: What kind of reasons are those, Ash?

Ashley: I really don't want to talk about it right now. Let's just look figure out how to fix this.

Michael: (shrugging) Whatever you say.

Casey's POV

"Hey Casey! Long time no see." A familiar voice hollers at me, distracting me from my wandering thoughts.

"Oh hi, Sam. How have you been?" I ask him.

"It's been going, Case. Nothing much has changed with me." Sam replied, laughing lightly. I cannot help but giggle back. Sam looks so different to me now. He has a goatee on his chin that actually looks kind of good for face stubble.

"I see you have become quite a man with your facial hair there," I say to him, bringing my hand up to his chin and rubbing his whiskers, "my my my, Sammy, you sure have grown up since you have been friends with Derek."

Sam grins at me. "Thanks Case. It is nice to hear at least one person say that. I wish my ex-girlfriend would be more like you."

"Uh, Sam, I was your ex-girlfriend." I inform him, sarcastically.

Sam corrects himself, "Oh no, I wasn't talking about you, Casey. I was talking about my college girlfriend. She was a real pain always on my case for something or other. It was so annoying," he grins sheepishly, "with her around, I was starting to miss the petty stuff we would argue about when we were dating. You are definitely a cakewalk compared to Rebecca. She's a nightmare to live with day in and day out."

"I guess, my life isn't going so badly then if you have been having problems in your love life too," I ponder, thoughtfully.

"Well, who have you been seeing since we broke up and graduated from high school," Sam asks, curiously.

I hesitate for a second before I decide I might as well tell him about my current dating escapades. "I guess, you know that I went out with Max after you," I look over at Sam and watch him nod in response, "when I broke up with him, I had my drought of dateless Friday nights, and my friend Noel, I assume, wanted to go out with me since I never talked to him after the night I told him I only see him as a friend. I had an on-again, off-again relationship with Truman French throughout college and until two weeks ago, he was my boyfriend. I have since realized that I have been harboring some strong feelings for Derek, and I unwittingly participated in a text message scheme of his own doing. He was chatting me up, posing as some random local guy, and sending me racy and sexually explicit messages on my cell." At this, Sam is wide-eyed with shock, I stop for a second to look at him, "Are you okay, Sam?"

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine, Case. It is just a little overwhelming to think that you and Derek are an item now." Sam replies, looking slightly perplexed.

"I don't even know what we are. We may have done it, but he never asked me to be his girlfriend or acknowledge that we can go further in our plans for a future together."

Sam laughs at this. "That sounds like Derek alright. He isn't going to make plans with anyone unless it is on his terms."

I huff as a response.

"You may not like it, Case, but he is still who he is. He isn't going to change himself for a woman no matter how much he is in love with her." Sam reasons, "I was kind of curious about Derek's obvious favorings towards you in high school. I mean, male code? Who does that but someone who is jealous?"

I can't help but laugh at this. "Yeah, you are definitely right. I myself was too blind to see that he favored me then, but it doesn't mean anything."

"I know what we can do, Casey, to cheer you up."

"What is it?"

"I'll take you out to dinner tonight, and we can talk a little bit more."

"That sounds like fun, Sam, I accept."

Author's Note: Okay, I wasn't sure where to end it. I am going to go back and forth between a Derek chapter and a Casey chapter. Same format, and I am separating out Michael and Ashley's dialogue because they are my comic relief. I have plans for them too btw. Bear with me on this, this is my brain child, and I want this to be good.
