Chapter 2: Vacation Begins

Casey's POV

"I can't wait to get to school so vacation can start!", thought Casey as her father drove her to school.

"You have my American Express Black Card right Case?", my dad asked.

"Yes Daddy, I also charged my cell phone and Teckmate and put their chargers in my carry on bag.", I responded.

"Good girl, Derek and Sam will keep an eye on you won't they?", he asked.

"Yes Daddy, Sam and Derek would always protect me. They said so themselves.", I told him.

"Ok. Do they know about what those girls did?", he questioned.

"Yes, they won't let them be mean, don't worry.", I assured him.

"Alright. Oh, is Derek missing his leather jacket?", he asked.

"Yes, why?"

"I think it is in the back seat."

"Oh yeah, I mentioned I was cold before the hockey game Monday and he gave it to me. Duh, I wonder why I forgot that.", I said while laughing. "I'll be sure to give it to him when I get there."

"Alright." Just then, we pulled up. I said good-bye to my dad and got all of my luggage and Derek's jacket out of the car.

When I walked into the gym, where Mrs. Simons told us to meet, I noticed Derek sleeping next to Sam, who also looked like he was sleeping. "He really isn't a morning person I guess. Most people aren't up at 6 o'clock though. I don't usually wake up until at least seven. So I guess I understand.", I thought while laughing.

"Wake up Derek.", I said as I gently nudged him.

"Five more minutes Mom.", he mumbled.

"I'm not your Mom, Derek.", I said with a little annoyance.

"hmm, oh, hey Case.", he said as he finally opened his eyes.

"I found your jacket in my car. I forgot you leant it to me the other day." I told him.

"Oh yeah, I forgot too. Thanks.", he responded.

"No problem."

"Should we wake Sam? We are about to leave.", I asked.

"Yeah, I'll do it."

"Ok. I think I'm gonna go find Emily."

"No! Every time she is with us she won't stop staring at me. I can't sleep or talk to you and Sam if I know her eyes are on me. Please don't talk to her yet.", he begged.

"Ok, but you better not ignore me the whole trip or I will ask her to join us.", I told him.

"Deal."

Normal POV

At that moment, Mrs. Simons walked into the gym with her husband, who was also going on the trip.

"Ok everyone, get into these groups. Derek, Sam, Casey since you are sharing a room, I want you guys to be grouped together the whole time. Jamie, Andy, and Jasey, I want you guys together. And Emily, Abbey, and Ashley, I want you guys together too. Now, lets get our stuff into the van so we can go."

"Derek, how come you and Sam are the only boys going anyway?", Casey asked.

"Cause none of the other guys' grades were good enough, Derek just barely made the grades to go.", Sam answered with a laugh.

"Oh, cool. Can one of you carry this big bag, its kinda heavy.", asked Casey while trying to lift said bag.

"Sure Case.", Derek laughed while lifting the bag with ease.

"Hockey must have really gotten him in shape.", Casey thought.

When they got to the van and got all of the luggage put away. Derek, Casey, and Sam got in the back of the van so they could sleep on the way to the train station in Montreal.

"Ok guys, we will be in Wal-Mart no longer than 15 minutes. I will text you when we need to go. Please don't get any food that will spoil during the trip or that will cause a mess." A chorus of "oks" and alrights" filled the air.

"Alright everyone, we are here. Don't leave your groups. We will meet back at the McDonald's in the back of the store for breakfast in 15 minutes." Another chorus of "oks" and alrights" hung in the air.

Derek's POV

"Alright, anyone wanna check out the cds and see if they have something we might want to hear?", Sam asked Casey and I. We both nodded our heads.

"I wanna see if they have the Hinder cd yet. Then we can stop by the shoes so I can get a pair of those really fuzzy house shoes. Those would be perfect for D.C.", Casey said.

"You better know exactly where they are cause I don't wanna do girl shopping. It is way too early to put up with that.", I said.

"Ok, then we can get some candy and popcorn. Oh, do you think they have the 'Newlyweds' dvd of season two and three?", Casey asked as we walked into the store.

"I don't know, but I'm not watching it with you.", I mumbled.

"Alright, then I'll just ask Em if she wants to watch it with me. You don't mind if she joins us do you Der?", she asked with her version of my smirk.

"God I wish I hadn't taught her that.", I thought.

"Fine, I'll watch it, but I don't promise you my full attention.", I reasoned.

"Ok, fair enough. Yes! They have it. Now for the Hinder cd…here it is."

"They don't have anything I wanna get, how bout you Sam?", I asked.

"Na, they don't have anything I want either. Let's go get Case her shoes so we can get the snacks.", he responded.

"Alright…hey Case, lets go get your shoes."

"Ok. Hey Der, pink or white?", she asked.

"Huh?"

"Which color do you like better pink or white?", she asked again.

"Oh..um..pink I guess.", I said.

"Good choice, most of my clothes are pink.", she mumbled. "Oh, that reminds me, I need some of those knee socks. Derek, right over there is a section of knee socks, get the white ones with the word 'princess' on them, without saying a word about my being a princess.", she said. "But you are my princess.", I thought.

"Only if you let me call you that for a day.", I said. "If I am going to do something for you I wanna get something out of it.", I reasoned.

"Fine, just get them please.", she agreed.

"Be right back.", I said.

While I was getting her socks, I thought about what I had just thought. "I can't believe I just thought that. There is no way she is my princess. Well, in the way I think I meant it. I'm just tired, that is it. I thought that cause I'm tired…and hungry. We need to hurry so we can eat.", I thought.

When I got back to Casey and Sam, Casey was deciding on the light pink or dark pink shoes.

"Get the light pink Case. They look cool and we need to hurry up and get the food.", I told her.

"Nice choice Der. Let's go get the snacks. What should we get?", she asked as she put her shoes in our basket.

"We need jelly beans, starburst, m&ms, hot tamales, and gobstoppers.", Said Sam.

"And kissables", Casey and I said in unison.

"That is really creepy when you do that you know.", Sam mentioned.

"We know.", we said, again in unison. We both looked at each other and burst out laughing. Oh, blonde at twelve o'clock.

"Check out that blonde. I wonder if she's busy tonight?", I wondered.

"She may not be, but are.", Casey said.

"Huh? Oh yeah, the trip. Duh.", I mumbled.

"Alright, I think we have everything.", Casey said. At that moment, "Secret Love" by JoJo began to play from Casey's phone.

"That was Mrs. Simons, we need to get to McDonald's. Lets go.", she said as she pushed the cart to McDonald's. When we were finished at McDonald's, all of the groups paid for their stuff and got back on the van.

"Case, you sit in the middle.", I said.

"Whatever, I just wanna sleep.", she responded.

"Hey Casey, do you wanna sit up front with the girls?", Andy said while approaching our group. I thought about what Casey had said on messenger last night and knew there was no way she was gonna sit with them.

"Sorry Andy, she's sitting with me and Sam.", I answered.

Andy's face took on a mixture of annoyance, jealousy, and slight anger. "Oh, ok.", she said and then jumped into the van. Sam got into the back seat of the van, then Casey, and then me. When we all got settled, I pulled out my Ipod.

"Hey Case, wanna listen to my Ipod with me?", I asked. She nodded and I handed her one of the ear buds. I pushed play and the song "Lips Of An Angel" by Hinder began to play as Casey rested her head on my shoulder.

"I told you I was gonna end up being your pillow.", I said with a laugh. She laughed and nodded. Then seemed to fall asleep, then I fell asleep with my head on hers. That is the last thing I remember before…

I left a bit of a cliff hanger there. Now, If I can get at least five reviews today I will update either tonight or tomorrow morning. I hope you liked the chapter. R&R!!!!
