A/N: Not much to explain about this chapter, so here it is hope you like it!
So Derek just walked in. Yes, he just barged in. How rude? Clearly he cannot tell when I certainly do not want to speak to him. I mean he's Derek!
"What are you doing?" he asked. I shoved the book underneath my bed so he doesn't see what I'm reading.
"Nothing," I rasped quickly.
"Right….Case. Well I just wanted to make sure you weren't to upset," he says.
"Why the hell would you care even if I was upset?" I spoke out.
"I uh..well.. um.. never mind." Derek looked like he was squirming. It was very entertaining to watch in yet at the same time it felt rather weird. Why the heck would he care? Derek has no compassion for anyone. "Your Right! I could care less which is why I'm leaving now…bye." I heard him stumble down the stairs a little bit and then he was gone.

Why did I just go up there? I mean seriously why would I even bother? It's Casey. The girl who drives me crazy, I know why I went up there just to annoy her! Yeah, That was it! I shut Casey out of mind and began to think about other things.

The next day at school, I decided to put my plan into action. The first task in the book was to be nice to your peers, even the ones that annoy you the most. After reading this chapter I was so convinced that it would be easy because I'm an overall nice kind girl. Though, when I walked through those doors of Thompson high today I was suddenly less convinced.
That's when I saw Kendra of all people with her mouth permanently attached to Max's. There's many explicit things I would like to say to Kendra but now that I have found a gift, I am suddenly more convinced. Instead of getting in her face, when she and Max broke apart. I marched over to her with the biggest fake smile I could place upon my face and said, "Why hello Max, Kendra. I hope you all are having as great of a morning as I have," I said innocently.
It was so weird because Kendra was so taken aback from my kind attitude. She just twitched her eyebrows grabbed Max and ran away.
I smiled to myself. My evil plan is working.
I had gained confidence when lunchtime came around. That's because while I was standing in line at the lunch room, Max came up to me.
"Hey," he said in a cool voice before proceeding is way to the line. Oh my Gosh! He so likes me! At least I hope so! I love this!

So I saw the strangest thing at lunch today. I was sitting at the lunch table with my hockey friends. Sam was going on and on about this hot girl and he wouldn't shut up that's when I saw Max talking to CASEY! Oh My God. What is he doing talking to her? She's completely not his type at all he seriously needs to back up off of her. Whoa... Did I just say that? What is going on with me? Clearly I'm just ashamed because she's unpopular and her talking to Max could ruin my rep. Yeah, that's it! I hope so.

Later, that day we had a school assembly. Everyone was just sitting there talking to one another as if nothing was happening. I remember reading in the chapter about getting involved how that was important when dealing with your peers.
Principal Perkins just came up and made an announcement.
"Hello Everyone. As you know that there has been a series in budget cuts this semester and we have prom coming up. Well the prom budget has been cut into entirely," he began to say before being interrupted by the herd of people moaning and growing about the loss. Kendra seemed disappointed. You could tell she was about to get out of her chair to protest. "Listen, everyone the prom is not getting cancelled yet. We've decided to hold a school fair to raise money for Prom. However, Each and everyone of you needs to pull and effort to make it happen. We are going to need someone to organize the event and pull it together. This'll take a lot of responsibility and it must be a Senior. Anyone up for the job?"
Without even thinking I lifted myself off my seat and spoke up. "I'll do it!" I said. I don't even know what made me do it. I think it was that in the book it says that to be popular you must be a leader. I saw Derek at the corner of my eye is look was totally priceless.
"Okay it's settled, Casey Macdonald you will take charge of the event and will be responsible for getting all the events set up. Now, You may all go home," said Principle Perkins.
After everyone started pouring out of the Auditorium, I grabbed my bag and began to leave. That's when Derek grabbed me by the arm.

I couldn't take it anymore what is going on with Casey. Which is why I grabbed her by the arm and forced her to tell me what was going on? "Casey, What in the hell are you doing?"
"Can you let go of my arm now your being rather demanding?" She complained. I let go of her. "Thank you, okay well I don't know what in the world you are talking about!"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about! Why was Max talking to you in the lunch line? And, Why are you doing this whole stupid manager thing?" I demanded
"What were you like stalking me at lunch today and as for the manager thing I just wanted to get involved. Why am I even explaining this to you? " That's when she grabbed her stuff and walked out of the auditorium and just left me there.
Without giving me the chance to respond.
A/N: Okay Hopefully the new format helped clear things up! I'm going to update with a new chapter later on today so hopefully you'll come back to read! Anyways thanks so much for reading! Reviews are appreciated!
