(A/N): This chapter is going to be in Derek's point of view. It's gonna take place from when George tells them about the vacation to the next day. Please tell me how I'm doing with the story. I've never really written stories in my entire life, so I don't know if the characters are too OOC or anything. Thanks guys. Here's chapter 2.

"Well, whether you guys like it or not, we're all going to California for a week! Now go upstairs and start packing, because we're leaving first thing tomorrow morning." Dad and Nora told us with huge grins on their faces.

Um right. There is no way in fucking hell that I'm going to be spending my first week of summer with the family, not to mention CASEY. Let me tell you about us. The first time I saw her was at the rehearsal dinner for our parent's wedding.

My dad was freaking out because Edwin and I were still not dressed for the rehearsal dinner. "Derek! Edwin! Hurry up and get dressed now! Don't make me come and dress you guys like I'm doing with Marti! We're already late as it is!"

"Dad, take a chill pill. I'm on the last level of Babe Raider, I'll go get dressed, as soon as I win," I told him nonchalantly.

"Yeah Dad, Derek's about to win. We're almost gonna see the topless level!!" Edwin chimed in excitedly.

Out of nowhere, my dad appears in front of the tv and unplugs the game. "Hey!" Edwin and I yell simultaneously.

"I said NOW." he threatened. Wow, what an ugly face he had on. But it was a face that I've seen quite often, and boy did I not like it.

"You're no fun," I said and headed upstairs with Edwin.

We drove there in silence except for my dad tapping on the steering wheel out of nervousness. It was too quiet so I decided to break the silence, "So Pops, are there gonna be any hot chicks there?"

"Derek, this dinner isn't for you to find yourself some "hot chicks." It's for us to rehearse for the wedding. And for you guys to finally be able to meet Nora's two wonderful daughters. The older one is your age and the younger is one is Edwin's age, so I'm sure you guys will really get along. They're both really smart and neat and organized and (sigh) not us."

Great. Now we're gonna have two totally uptight little princesses living under our roof. Just what I need in my life.

We finally got to the place and I was already wanting it to be over. When we got inside, I went to get myself a soda because I definitely needed the caffeine right now. As I went over to the drinks, I saw a smokin' hot brunette getting a drink. I guess this night wasn't going to be so bad after all. "Sup, I'm Derek."

"Well hello, It's Casey." she said sexily.

"So, I'm assuming you're on the bride's side?" Duh Derek. Or else she'd be related to me. (shivers)

"Ooh, great assumption." Great. Now she thinks I'm an idiot. "Well, maybe I'll see you around...or maybe not." she said and walked away just like that. Ha, like I was going to let her go just like that. My ass.

"Apparently someone likes to play hard to get," I said with my infamous smirk smacked on my face.

"And who says I'm playing?" She said and walked into the girls bathroom. Can she stop running away maybe? Thanks.

When she came back out, I was standing there waiting for her. "Hey, so it seems like —" she cut me off and placed a very unexpected, yet aggressive kiss on my lips. She then gave me a wink and walked off to her table. A challenge...Derek likes.

"Derek! Come over here for a sec, I want you to meet Nora's daughters," my dad yelled over at me. So I walked over to my dad who happened to be standing next to Casey, the girl that just totally blew my mind. "Derek, these are your new stepsisters Casey and Lizzie."

Fuck, I did not just kiss my stepsister. This had to be totally wrong, although it felt totally right.

"Der-rek! Phooone! It's a giiiiirl!" Marti screamed up to her favorite stepbrother.

"Thanks Smarti, you can hang up now!" I yelled back. "Hey Kendra, so about that date tonight...yeah, I'm gonna have to schedule a rain check. See, my dad just told us about this lame family vacation that we're gonna have to go on and we leave tomorrow morning, so I have to spend tonight packing for it."

"Aww Der-ry, you promised!"

"Yeah I know, but it wasn't my choice. My dad's making us go. So, maybe we can schedule it for when I get back?"

"Alright, only for you cuz you're my favorite Der-bear"

"Haha, yeah, umm so bye." Man, that girl is just asking for drama.

So I decided to pack last minute because I'm Derek and that's what I do. As I was heading towards my bed to just relax and listen to some music, I saw Casey walk past my room debating on which book to bring on the vacation. God, she was once never like that. She use to be so laidback and chill, yet at the same time aggressive and overpowering. Not that she's not overpowering now. I mean she use to be so...sexy, until her and Sammy boy went out. Yes, I called my step sister sexy, and it's true; she was. But she wasn't as paranoid about everything and she didn't worry so much and just lived life to the fullest. But after Sam and her broke up over some stupid reason, she became all freakish. All she started to think about was school, school, school probably so she could keep her mind off of Sam. Even Emily noticed. At the rehearsal dinner, after she found out that we were step siblings, she freaked for like a minute then we went right on back to flirting...of course the family didn't notice because they're pretty much oblivious to everything, except for maybe Lizzie and Edwin, but you can never tell with those two. They didn't mention anything, so we didn't mention anything. It's just better that way. Then Sammy boy came along and well, Casey and I were history. They dated for about a month and then THEY were history. But their relationship changed her for some odd reason. I just mess with her now to see if we could ever have what we once had and because she's pretty fucking hot when she's angry. I just wish Casey was like how she was before. I don't know. Maybe she really deserves this vacation. "DER-REK!!" (sigh) Here we go again.

"Why the hell did you take out my clothes from the washing machine when IT WAS STILL IN USE?!"she came screaming into my room without even bothering to knock, not that it mattered.

"Maybe so I can wash my clothes?"

"Well, you could have waited till I was done with it! Gosh, you have no respect for other peoples' properties!"

"Well, maybe if you didn't have a shit load of fucking clothes, you would have been done already. You do know that five other people live in this house."

"UGH!!!!!!!! Well fucking hurry up!!" she screamed and then stomped out of my room. Yes, and I have to live with that.

When I looked at the clock, it read 11:47, and I was getting mighty tired so I decided to pack. It's not like I need that much shit cuz I'll look good no matter what. After a couple shorts, shirts, boxers, and boardshirts, I felt satisfied. Then I realized that I needed deodorant, so I went to the bathroom to grab it. When I got inside, I saw a very, very, VERY, tiny, hot pink, string-like thing hanging on the shower. Out of curiosity, I grabbed it and tried to figure out what the hell it could be used for.

"What are you doing with my bikini?" came a voice from behind which sounded an awful lot like Caseys.

I jumped and threw the mess of "strings" into the shower. Now I know what it is. "Uh, nothing!" I quickly said and walked out of there before she could see my totally red face. Before I got to my room, I snuck a glance back at Casey and saw her walk into her room with a huge smirk on her face.

(A/N): So what'd you guys think? Sorry it wasn't as long as I expected for it to be. Well, tell me if they're too OOC. And the whole "Sam" thing kinda just came outta my ass. I thought it kinda fit. And no worries you guys, they'll get to California soon. Thankss 3
