A/N: Thank you to Princeton girl and cantlivewithoutme. You guys said you want me to continue so I am going to continue. I hope more like this story too. Well here is the next chapter.
Derek never saw Casey for the rest of the school day. He was driving home when he saw a new Chinese restaurant. He decided to go in and check the place out. When he was done with his meal they gave him a fortune cookie. He didn't eat it; he decided to bring it home with him. When he got inside he didn't see Casey sitting on the couch like she always did. He decided to forget about finding her and went into his room and took out the cookie. And broke it apart to read what his fortune was going to be. He took the piece of paper out. The paper read 'Your true love is closer than you think.' Derek really didn't understand what the fortune meant. He thought about it very hard. He was deep in though that he didn't hear the knocking on his door. When he finally broke his though, he noticed Casey standing in his doorway.
"Derek the last ten minutes, I have been knocking on you door!"
"Sorry Case, I was thinking about something."
"Wow you're being nice. And you called me Case?"
"Sorry it won't happen again. Shit! I did it again."
"Derek, it is fine. I don't mind. What's up anyways?"
"Nothing really. Hey I found a new restaurant wanna go check it out?"
"Are you sure you want to take me?"
"I am nothing but sure."
"Okay let me go get my jacket."
When Casey got back Derek was ready to go. They walked down the stairs and Derek grabbed his keys and went to the car. The ride to the restaurant was very quiet. Casey was wondering what was up with Derek. Derek just wanted to get to the restaurant to get another fortune cookie. Derek wanted to bring her too because he did feel bad for how school went. They didn't have any classes together so he didn't know if she stayed in school. Derek laughed to himself when he thought that because Casey would never skip any classes let alone school. This was everything she lived for, she needed to get the good grades to make everyone proud of her.
"Can we have seating for two please?"
"Derek, you are acting so weird tonight."
"I know something is just on my mind."
"Oh, do you want to talk about it?"
"Not really, sorry I know you are trying to help but this is something I have to do on my own."
"Derek, if you get into any trouble you can tell me."
"Thanks Case, I'll keep that in mind."
When the waitress brought the food, they talking stopped. Derek was still thinking and Casey didn't know what to say to him. They just wanted to get home as soon as possible. Casey loved this new restaurant, the food and atmosphere was friendly and great. When she was done with her food, Derek asked the waitress for the check. When she brought the check back she had two fortune cookies and with her. She gave the one in her right hand to Casey and the one in the left to Derek. He thought this was weird put paid no attention to it. He cracked the cookie and took out the piece of paper. Casey did the same thing. This time Derek's fortune cookies said 'you and your true love with see the future soon.' Now Derek was really confused, when he looked up he saw a puzzled look on Casey's face too. When Casey read her fortune cookie it said 'The guy across from you will be your husband.' She laughed when she read this.
"Hey Case, you wanna go home now?"
"Yeah sure."
"Wow don't sound too excited now."
"Sorry, it is just that I am tired and my bed sounds comfortable right now."
"Yeah I know what you mean."
They left the restaurant and walked to the car. When Derek turned the car on her let Casey pick the radio station. As she turned to the station her favorite song was playing. She started to sing along with the song. She got really into the song. She loved to sing and not care who was listening sometimes. It was the only time she could break free and let go. The song ended and she just went to staring out the window. Derek was surprised that Casey let go like that. She never really let anyone know the side of fun and no structure or plans.
"Wow Case, never knew it was in you!"
"Thanks Derek. I never knew you cared so much."
"I do have my sweet side too."
"Well I would like to see that side more often if I could."
"This side only comes out once in a while."
"Hey Derek."
"Yeah Case."
"Well I thought I should let you know that we are home now."
"Oh wow we are thanks for telling me."
Casey got out of the car and ran straight to her room. She couldn't believe how tired she was. But she got ready for bed and couldn't wait for school tomorrow. Today had been a long day for her. Derek had only confused her more. She had no idea what to think about today. She just started working on her homework. She didn't want any late assignments. When Derek came in his family gave him looks like he did something wrong. He ignored them all and went up into his room to go to sleep. He didn't care that his family thought he did something to Casey, it was like he could never do anything nice. He did have his moments when he felt like doing something nice. It wasn't like he lived to torture everyone.
