"I still don't know why you are with him Case, after the way he treats you?" Emily said matter-of-factly.
Casey has finally almost calmed down, and she and Emily were sitting in the crowded cafeteria, eating their lunch. Well Emily was eating, Casey was just picking at her own food. As calm as she was on the outside, she was still upset on the inside. She just couldn't get Derek out of her mind, not even for 5 minutes.
"I know, you're right. He acts like a jerk to me at school. It's just that at home, he is completely different, he's sweet and caring and NOT a jerk." She sighed. At that moment Casey couldn't help but think that even though Derek was like that at home, it just wasn't enough anymore.
"Well don't look now but the NOT-jerk is coming this way." Emily whispered as she rolled her eyes. Sure at first she was happy for Casey and Derek, Casey was so excited about the relationship that Emily couldn't help but feel excited as well. But now. She wanted punch him and make him realize how much he was hurting Casey.
"Hey Emily, klutzilla" Derek said as he came up to their table. "I have practice after school so if you want a ride, you'll have to wait for me."
Casey looked up at him, she was suddenly enraged again. He didn't seem to care the slightest that he upset her that morning.
"Emily will take me, right Em?" She looked over at her best friend. Emily hesitated.
"I would love to Case, but I have that dentist appointment which leaving for right after lunch, remember?" She hated not going along with Casey with this, especially since it had to do with Derek.
"So I guess you'll have to wait for me." Derek mentioned. Casey glared at him. Not that he noticed, again.
"Then I'll walk." She snapped at him. She got up and walked out of the cafeteria, Emily quickly following behind.
Derek just stood there, not sure what just happened he scratched his head. He was beyond confused now. Casey always waited for him while he was at practice, at least when Emily couldn't take her. He tried to think back to what could have gotten her so angry with him. At home that morning they were perfectly fine, they even got ready a little faster so they could 'spend some time together' before they had to leave for school. He was definitely going to ask about it later.

"Case! Come on will you just tell me why you're so angry? Please?" Derek begged her for the 9th time already. He got home from practice and she hasn't said one word to him. He was glad the family was out so they wouldn't have to witness this. Even though they all knew about their relationship.
Casey just sat on the couch and looked blankly at the tv. She wasn't really watching it since she was way too mad to pay attention, but she still wanted to have the satisfaction of being able to watch something without Derek grabbing the remote from her. Not that he did that much since they started going out, but now he definitely wouldn't dare do anything to make her any angrier.
He finally kneeled on the floor beside Casey and grabbed her hand. She glared down at it but didn't say anything.
"Baby please," He begged. He placed his free hand under her chin to get her to look at him. She stared into his eyes, and momentarly, she softened. But barely 5 seconds later, she remembered that she was angry at him.
"NO!!" She violently shook her head and yanked her hand away from him. She stood from the couch and glared down at him.
"Case, I-" He started, but she cut him off.
"NO DEREK!! NO!!" She yelled. She was so mad at him that she couldn't take it anymore, hot tears poured down her cheeks. "I'm sick of whole act you've got going on! I can't stand it anymore!"
Derek stood up alarmed. "What act?"
Casey just looked at him. "You know what? At this point I don't even know anymore, I'm not sure if you're acting at school or here. But you are putting on an act somewhere and I'm SICK of it!"
"Baby what are you talking about?" He asked, still not sure what she meant. All he knew that it killed him to see her crying like this.
"What I mean is that at school, you act like a complete jerk and here you are very different. And to be honest, I don't know who you are anymore," Casey managed to choke out. "I used to think that you were acting like a jerk to throw people off so they wouldn't expect anything is different between us. But now I am not so sure."
"Casey, of course I am the real me here at home, when I'm with you. We made this plan to keep 'us' a secret so people won't judge us."
"No YOU made this plan, I just went along with it because I thought it would last only 2-3 months tops, so that our family and best friends could get used to 'us' first. But it's been 7 months Derek, and the only people that know about us is our family and Emily. You haven't even told Sam. SAM! YOU'RE BEST FRIEND!" Casey cried. She calmed down a bit and whispered. "I feel like you're ashamed of me." She willed herself not to cry anymore, but she couldn't stop the tears from falling furiously.
Derek walked over and tried to put his arms around her, but she pushed him away and glared at him.
"Casey baby, of course I'm not ashamed of you..." He whispered. She saw the hurt on his face, so she looked away.
"THEN WHY ARE YOU KEEPING THIS FROM EVERYONE?!?! WHY ARE YOU KEEPING THIS FROM YOUR OWN BEST FREIND?!?! She yelled, she was extremely frustrated. They suddenly heard a voice.
"Keeping what away from me?" They looked up to see Sam standing at the front door, he closed the door and walked over to them. He looked at Casey and saw that she was crying hysterically. "Casey what's wrong? What happened?"
She looked at Derek and then back at Sam. "You know what? It doesn't even matter anymore because it's OVER!" She spat the last word at Derek and ran up the stairs to her room.
Oooohh DRAMA!! HAHA R&R. Please!!
