I'M JUST SIMPLY BETTER

Chapter one

The patron saint of liars and fakes

Dereks Point Of View

" So there I was stranded on the boarder of Mexico with no food or water while the vase was on the boat on it's way to the Alps while Jack was still locked up at the gas station," I lowered my eyes for dramatic effect. " And that's when the dingo's came." I told my story to the crowed of kids around me while a stood back agents my locker.

I opened my mouth to continue my made up story when I felt somebody grab my shoulder strongly. I turned to them as anger swept my face.

" Hey what the big idea," I spoke only to realize it was Sam. I chuckled. " Oh it's you. Yeah can this wait I'm busy?" I spoke turning back to face the crowed. I once more opened my mouth to continue when he grabbed my shoulder again.

I held up my index finger to the crowd telling them to wait one second as I turned to Sam. His face was full of...well Something I couldn't read. " Hey I'm busy!" I told him firmly.

" Yeah well this really can't wait!" He said threw his teeth. I arched an eyebrow before turning back to the crowed. I let out a heavy sigh.

" I am going to have to continue my story on how I saved all those people after fifth period. Sorry for the inconvenience people." I told the crowed. Sounds of aww's and sighs felt the area before the people scattered the halls. I turn to Sam with a 'what could you possibly want?' face on.

" Guess who just got back from Rome?" Sam spoke crossing his arms. I felt my eye widen as I bit my lip. No. Not him. It can't be! Please don't be who I think it is!

" Derek?!" Came from behind me. I spun around to see who stood there. Damn it. Not him! Not my worst nightmare!

" Brendan!" I immediately put on a fake smile extending my arm out giving him a high-five-hand-shake-hug. I bet you're wondering who this moron is huh? Thought so. Well first off his name is Brendan Michael Andrew Caldwell. And he is the most stupid loser on the face of the earth.

He thinks he owns the world just because his dad is a famous Roman rock star. He moved to Rome with his dad about a year ago and I thought I saw the last of him. Guess not. You see me and Brendan knew each other since we were ten.

And from that day we have been competing in sports, popularity, girls you name it. I guess you could say we had a love hate relationship. See we were best friends but secretly hated each other even though we pretended to like each other. He just never could except I was just simply better.

" Dude it's been forever," He spoke happily as he shoved his hands in his pockets. I could smell the fakeness in his voice. He made me sick the fonie. " You look...uh Cool!" He told me. I held in my eyeroll and covered it up with a fake small laugh.

" Oh thanks. And you look," I scanned him from head to toe." So how have you been?" I changed the subject quickly. Ha. I'm so funny I crack my own self up.

" Good. Just ya know. Very busy," He laid his back to the locker beside mine." I have decided to fallow my fathers foot steps and become a rock star. Just came out with my first hit single a month ago." He said rubbing his finger nails on his shirt in a bad attempt to pretend it was nothing. Show off.

" Ya know I have a band to." I told him.

" Oh that nice." He said looking away." So you got a girlfriend now days?" He looked at me grinning. I smirked. Was this guy serious?

" Yep I sure do," I told him. Ok so maybe I didn't have one at the moment. But I could get one in two point five seconds if I wanted. " You?" I asked him almost sure of the lie he was about to tell me.

" Nah. I broke up with Annamaria right before I left Rome. I wanted to keep my options open when I came here ya know?" He spoke. Did he just admit defeat in his own way to me? Wow I had something he didn't? Somebody pinch me. Sarcastically speaking.

" Oh yeah sure what you said." I told him pretending I hadn't the slightest clue of what he spoke of. He clinched his teeth.

" Yeah but ya know. I figure once I fool around with some chicks here I'll fly back out to Rome and get back with here for a while. She's just to hot to give up. But In the mean time while I'm here I," Brendan stopped in the middle of his sentience starring at someone across the hall. " Want to hit that." He mumbled as a devilish grin curled upon his lips.

I knew that grin. Obviously he saw somebody sexy. Perhaps somebody I could get to before he does. " She's hot!" He spoke. I turned my head to see who is this lovely lady was. I widen my eyes when I saw her.

" Casey!" I yelled in disgust. I saw a smirk come over his face as he starred at her.

"Casey," He said lowly as he tapped the bottom of his chin." It's Irish. Mean Vigilant. Or in other words. Dangerous," He said to himself aloud. He turned to us." I'm going to go talk to her." He said starting to walk off.

"No!" I yelled. He stopped and turn to me arching an eyebrow. Oh great what did I just do? Think Derek think.

" Why not?" He asked me. I looked around trying to think of a reason. I can't let him go out with my stepsister. Eww. If he did and found out I would never hear the end of it. But I can't just tell him that!

" She's," I paused starring him in the eye. " She's my girlfriend!" I spat out surprising even myself. He gave me a puzzled look.

" What?!" I herd him and Sam say in a union. I jump startled forgetting Sam was behind me. I turned to face him.

" Yeah you know that dude!" I spoke giving him a wink. He rose his eyebrows and nodded suddenly catching my drift.

" Oh um yeah! Right," Sam spoke. I gave him a small grin thanking him. " Yeah him and Casey. Definitely the hottest couple in school. He even saved her life once. Yeah there so in love. Once this girl flirted with Derek and Casey threatened her life and-" Sam began rambling on.

" Sam I think he gets the point," I told him clinching my teeth. I turned to Brendan. " But you understand were an item right?" I asked him. I could tell he was upset. He hid it with a smile though. Finaly. I beat him to something! Take that and be jealous Brendan cause that's just one of many things you're going to lose to me.

" Oh um yeah. I must say you got yourself a hottie though." He spoke. No way. Did he just admit defeat more then one to me?!

" I do?" I asked still not believing what I herd. He chuckled as he nodded.

" Yeah I mean look at her," He said. I glanced over at her. Whoa this is-" So if you guys are a couple then you wouldn't care showing up together at my party right?" Not good...

" You're p-party?" I felt myself grow nervous. He nodded. " Yeah. It's my welcome home party. It's gunna be huge. I figured we could both be there with dates. Unless...I'ts a problem?" He asked. I had horror on my face and was having trouble hiding it.

" No not at all." My voice cracked as I spoke my words. I cleared my throat. " Um I mean not at all." I stuck my hands in my pockets trying to make my voice sound deep and manly.

" Oh cool so you and old Sammie here will be there? With your girlfriend Casey?" He asked. We both nodded.

" Definitely we will be there," I nodded. " And with Casey." I gulped knowing this would be no walk in the park.
