Casey's POV
The Saturday of the date was beautiful. I rolled out of bed and saw that Cassiy was still asleep. I grabbed my gym and bag I headed there for my morning workout. When I got there, I found the workout room completely empty. I then became so engrossed in my workout, that I didn't notice Derek until I turned to leave. He was standing by the door just looking at me. I smiled as I walked by but didn't say a word. After all that was what he had wanted.
When I got to the locker room, I changed my mind and decided to go for a swim to cool off. By the time I got back to the dorm room I'd been gone for two and a half hours. Apparently I was just in time for Cassiy to drag me out and off to the mall. She insisted that I had no date worthy clothing. By the time we got back to our dorm room, I had a cute halter style summer dress, a skirt, two tops and a pair of white heels.
Since Cassiy and I were meeting Colin and my date at the theatre, I decided to wear my new red top, skirt and heels. When we arrived at the theatre, Colin was waiting for us. As I stood in line to get a drink, I saw Colin and Cassiy having what looked like a silent argument. Once I had my Dr. Pepper, Cassiy told me that my date was going to be a little bit late. I shrugged and told her I didn't care. But I did care if we got a good seat or not. We walked into the theatre and found it almost empty. At the time it seemed weird since we were waiting to watch Transformers 2.
We had been sitting for ten minutes when the previews started to roll. I overheard Colin tell Cassiy that he'd texted my date telling him where we were. I guessed he was going to be later than he originally thought. The fact that he still hadn't shown up halfway into the movie didn't even cross my mind. All I could focus on was the amazing movie. My mind was so full of the film that it wasn't until Cassiy and I were back at our dorm that I realized I'd been stood up.
Derek's POV
I could tell Colin was 'pissed' the moment our dorm-room door opened. I was sitting at my desk talking to Ed and Smarty. When I'd first called, Smarty answered and had proceeded to run up the stairs, put me on speaker and tell the entire house that Smerek was on the phone. She then sat on Ed's bed and they told me what they had been up to. Ed told me about all of the girls at school who wanted to date him because of his 'bad-boy'/Venturi rep. I thought it was rather amusing and knew that he'd do just fine at school. Smarty then told me every detail about her friends, teacher and new classroom.
It was then brought up that Lizzy had a new boyfriend. Apparently the only person who liked him was Nora. I found that the more they talked, the more I missed them. I was just saying good-bye when Colin got back. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him pick up my football. But I wasn't expecting it to hit me in the back of the head the moment I turned my phone off. Spinning around in my chair, I asked him "What was that for?"
He scoffed and told me "I dunno'. How about standing up your date?"
"Come on, man! After all the other girls you've hooked me up with, did you really expect me to show?"
"Yeah, well, your loss then. I mean you just missed out on meeting the coolest chick I've ever met."
I laughed at that and gave him a questioning look. He glared at me before saying "BEFORE CASSIY!!" I laughed even harder and climbed into bed. I didn't give the date another thought. At least not until a few hours later. I woke up at 3 am with a start. I realized that I'd broken one of my dating rules. No No-shows.
Well?? What do you think? I hope no one thinks I left it hanging too much. I'm trying to complete each chapter. You know the drill. If you read it, review it! And I am pleased to inform all, that my computer is back up and running, so I'll try to update more often now. Remember, if you read it, review it!!!!!
