Casey was in the hallway coming from the bathroom she had just brushed her teeth.
"Goodnight Derek" she said.
"Yeah, goodnight" he responded.
She rolled her eyes at him and walked into her bedroom.
She could never understand why he was so mean to her. She had thought that he would maybe change during his year away from her. But, she was wrong.
THE NEXT DAY
Setting: The Kitchen
Derek walked into the kitchen, coughing more than usual.
Nora wished him Good Morning.
"Ugh, I feel like my chest is going to explode" said Derek.
"Maybe you're sick?" suggested Lizzie.
He kept coughing then said, "No no no, I'm fine".
"Maybe you're wearing too much cologne" said Casey.
"Real funny" said Derek.
Nora turned to him and said, "You were coughing last night".
"Maybe you're getting Ed's cold, he was sick a few weeks ago" suggested George.
He looked at all of them like they were crazy and said, "No, maybe it's just allergies".
Nora and George looked at him real well. "Upstairs to your room, we'll call a doctor" said George.
In a concerned tone Derek said, "Oh no. I have plans today with Sam and Emily".
Nora responded "You feel really warm. Get yourself upstairs and I'll bring you some juice and toast".
"But, I'm fine" Derek said in an angry tone.
"You. Bed. Now" said George.
"This is unfair" said Derek.
