Before The Story...

A couple days before the story

Casey's POV

Oh...my...GOD! The new kid Bryan is actually talking to me. Now just act normal and don't do anything stupid. Yeah right like that is even possible for me. And if Derek is around I'm sure he'll make it even harder for me. Wow! Right on cue, here he comes and he's stopping by me just 'cause he knows I'm a nervous wreck around guys ever since Sam and I broke up. So he always comes and makes it even harder for me to concentrate and scares away the guys I'm talking to. Ugh he is so annoying I hate him! "...Casey hello? Is anyone in there? Oh... I was starting to think I lost you there- and I wouldn't want that." He winked! What am I supposed to do after he winks at me? I have no clue.

"Hello my favorite sister! How is Sam doing?" And right when I forget about him he shows up. "Sam?" No! Sam isn't my boyfriend at least he isn't anymore. "Yup my Sammy, Casey's boyfriend. Right, Case?" Ha, nice try he isn't falling for that. I knew this one was smart unless he is just plain doesn't care. I hope it's the first one. I can only handle one Derek at this school. "He isn't my boyfriend Derek! We broke up remember? Because he said that someone convinced him that he needed to see new people, now who could that someone be? Why I don't know. Maybe it was you." That'll show him! Yup just walk away, it isn't going to work this time.

After Derek left our conversation Bryan and I planned a date but we had to cancel because he had to watch his little sister. How sweet! I'm stuck at home with Derek and my mom and George and for some strange reason Paul (her guidance counselor) is over here. They're talking in the kitchen I tried to eavesdrop but found out I wasn't a very good spy. I was bored so I decided to go on the computer and guess who was on? Bryan! Yup and he said that his sister was sound asleep. We talked all night and I could hear Derek screaming at his computer because it was slower than usual thanks to my computer. Bryan reminds me of someone but I just can't put my finger on it. He promised that since tomorrow was a weekend we would go to the movies or something but once again he canceled this time because he just got on the hockey team and he needed to go to practice. We talked online again all night. I still can't put my finger on it but he is just like someone I know. Derek? No, that couldn't be it.

Derek's POV

I succeed once again in scaring off one of Casey's crushes! It is so much fun annoying her. I'm getting really mad at my computer. It is like not running at all. Well at least I have a date tomorrow so I can get away from my loser computer. The date is with the prettiest girl in school, Brooke. She is amazingly stunning! And of course she wants to go out with me I am The Derek Venturi. You know what is weird? Casey's psychologist person is here and they're talking in the kitchen. I spied a little and got a couple words but couldn't come up with anything that made sense.

Someone was calling for me so I answered casually "Hello." and then some squealing girl in the back-round as the girl that called answered as calm as she could "Hey, is this Derek?" of course it was for me who else would it be for? Casey? Oh that was a good one. "Yes, why would you like to know?" I asked smiling to myself as I could hear the girl in the back-round again "Yeah, this is Brooke and I was just making sure our date was still on for tomorrow at the movies." She said and I could tell she was nervous. Then before I could answer I heard a crash "Are you okay!" I asked in shock at the loud noise but then I heard her laugh and the other girl "Sorry. I fell." She said and I hid my laugh "Oh well I hope you're okay and yes our date is still on no worry." I looked at the clock on the computer to see what an appropriate good-bye would be to charm her a little. It read 11:17. "I'm okay so I'll see you tomorrow." I could feel how exited she was and I was surprised at how nice and normal she was for how beautiful she was "Good-night, I'll be dreaming of you." I said and hung up after she said good-bye. You know Brooke reminds me of someone I know but I just can't get it just right.
