I wondered why Casey was so…distant. She didn't even respond to my Klutzilla quid and I know that always gets her going. But I didn't dwell on it. I had to meet up with the guys to catch a hockey game. So I continued the day, trying not to notice Casey's unusual quiet demeanor.
But when I got home and say George and Nora sitting at the dining table with hands folded. (I experience with this, the bomb they were going to drop was going to be nonnegotiable) Casey sat at the table with head buried in her hands.
"Who died?" I asked slowly.
Nora cleared her throat. "No one, Derek. Please sit down."
I sat down obediently. I knew that this was gonna be bad. Even George looked guilty when he saw me.
Nora began, "Well, Casey's father called and he offered to take you two for the summer." She looked at George to finish.
"And, ummm, well. We decided that it would be best for you to spend some bonding time before you leave for university." He said slowly, as if someone would pounce on him if he said something wrong. "So, you are going, no questions asked."
Casey bit her lip. She knew this was coming. And she didn't tell me. Okay so maybe she didn't have to tell me.
"When are …we leaving?" It took great effort for her to say we. She looked up at Nora.
"Next week."
I let out a heavy sigh. Great. Casey, for two whole months. Okay, so I had lived with Casey for three years now but still, I had options…not anymore.

I almost crawled my way up the stairs in agony. If only Lizzie didn't have stupid soccer camp. She could have come with me. But no. She has to work on her kicking maneuvers or whatever they're called. I took out my suitcase and started to fold the clothes I wanted to take neatly. I might as well start packing…Emily was leaving for her grandparents house this afternoon and wouldn't be back until I was gone. If only Derek wasn't such an ass all the time, maybe we wouldn't be in this situation. Just saying. But what luck would I have if Derek didn't ruin everything.
My life sucks.
