Chapter 2

When the school's bang announced the end of the classes, Derek walked to his locker and opened it. As he was taking his backpack, not adding any book in it, of course, a big mob of people walked towards him.

He frowned and closed his locker, staring at them as they came closer to him.

"You know you're totally right." he heard.

Recognizing his best friend Sam's voice, he turned to them and took a better look.

"Hey Sam, are you coming home to practice, tonight?"

A surprised Sam got out of trance and looked at his best friend.

"Oh, no sorry. I'm going to the movies with Mely, tonight."

Derek frowned again and walked to them. Everyone pushed themselves only to show the sight of a petite brunette. Her very long hair was falling straight on her shoulders. Her naked arm maintained an History book on her right side, and her very short pink skirt showed her just enough tanned legs. When Derek looked up, he met a shining smile and gorgeous light green eyes.

"So, you're Derek?"

Her voice sounded like a melody and Derek shook his head, trying to remember what he would normally say to a girl like her.

"The one and only."e he finally heard himself answer.

With the years, it seemed like his body could flirt by itself.

"Not bad. I hope you don't hate me for taking away your best friend, tonight." she started before to turn to Sam. "He's so sweet." she finished, smiling at him.

"No, of course not."

Derek's glance moved to Mely's right and his mouth slightly opened at the sigh of his step sister.

"And what exactly are you doing with her?" Derek asked.

Casey quickly walked up to him and took his arm.

"Isn't she just great? I mean, she went all over the world, and has a lot of stories to tell. Plus, she knows almost anything about History. She's visited thousands of museums, and has read at least three books of every country she's visited." Casey almost whispered, grinning.

Derek's surprise couldn't have been bigger.

"Earth to Casey, she's stealing Sam from you!"

Casey lost her smile and looked down, trying to assimilate the information.

"Yea, but she's so cool!" Casey just shrugged.

Derek sighed and left Casey standing there before to run after the new girl. He finally found her outside the school, along with new people.

"Mely!" He yelled.

She turned to him and greeted him with a smile.

"Could I talk to you... in private?"

Derek had no idea what had gotten into him, but he knew he wanted to take his chance with her. Perhaps, they wouldn't stay together forever, and he would probably end up breaking her heart, but it didn't really matter to him.

"Sure." she answered. "I'll see you guys tomorrow." she just smiled to her admirors around her before they slowly left with a bunch of "see ya's"

"So what does the great Derek Venturi wants to talk to me about?"

Derek stared at her smile, completly speechless.

"You... uhm... I..."

"Sure, Derek, I'll go on a date with you. No matter what Casey has told me about you, I think you do have potential."

Derek's heart beats increased. Did a girl just made him lose all his player abilities?
