Never Gonna Be The Same
Fuck! I'm going to kill Mark!
"Dude what the hell! are you okay?" mark asked
"No I'm not thanks to you!" Derek yelled at him as he tried to stop the bleeding
"What the hell! I did not tell you to get stabbed with a fork!"
"No but I did the cockiness thing and then she stabbed me and it's called a spork!"
"What?" Mark asked confused
"The fork thing it's called a spork"
"Okay who cares let's take care of your hand" Mark said as he tried to look at his friends hand.
"No it's fine I need to find Addison and apologize''
"Dude she's furious, she won't talk to you like this''
"Oh you think cause I thought that stabbing someone with a spork was a way of letting someone know you're into them!'' he yelled sarcastically
"What you're saying that this is my fault? It's not my fault that you make chicks attack you and then run off!''
"Shut up Mark this was your idea''
"Well clearly it doesn't work for you, please let just forget this, I thought we agreed that we would never fight because of a girl remember? When we had a fight over that girl who later turned out to be a lesbian?''
"How can you say that I can't even count how many times you ditched me for a girl''
"Well that's because I'm an ass, please Derek…friends?'' Mark said as he reached out his hand
"Okay friends'' he said as he grabbed Mark's hand, shook it and patted him on his back
"So a spork-attack? I mean I could picture Callie or Sidney doing that but not Red'' Mark said trying to keep a straight face
"Yeah I know though I gotta admit if it wasn't me who got attacked I'd be turned on" Derek said laughing
"Oh you would be, trust me" Mark said laughing along with him
Meanwhile Addison and Callie walked back to the rest of the group which were still talking about the 'incident' that happened.
"Are you okay?" Richard asked as he saw Addison and Callie.
"Yes I'm okay now" Addison answered
"I'm not going to ask what happened but I'm sure you had a reason for it right?"
"She does" Callie answered for her
"Okay then why don't we continue what we were doing?"
"New round people!" Richard yelled as he blew on his whistle again
"Dude stop with the whistle, not cool" Callie said
"Okay you're right" Richard said as he put his whistle back in his pocket embarrassed
Now Addison was sitting with Sidney, Mark with Richard, Preston with walkman guy and Callie with Derek
"Hi I'm Addison"
"Hey, I'm Sidney"
"So uhm…" Addison said as she tried to start a conversation
"You sporked Shepherd" Sidney cut her off
"Yeah well he" Addison said afraid the girl might be mad at her
"That was soooo cool" Sidney said excited as she cut her off again "I kinda like you, you don't let them treat you as meat"
"So…" Derek said as minutes had gone by and neither him or Callie had said a word. Callie just looked at him like she was going to kill him
"What's up?" he said uncomfortable again, trying to get as far away from Callie as possible
"You talk, touch or even look at Addison, and I swear buddy, I am going to stab with a spork in a much more uncomfortable place then she did" Callie hissed to him before she left and told Richard she was going to the bathroom
After everyone met each other Richard showed his students their dorms; Addison shared a dorm with Sidney and Callie, Derek shared a dorm with Mark, Preston and walkman guy.
Mark, Preston and Derek were sitting on the couch watching TV while walkman guy –how surprising- was still listening to his walkman on his bed.
"So uhm Derek how's your hand?" Preston asked
"It's fine" Derek snapped back, focusing on the TV
"What's wrong with him?" Preston whispered to Mark
"I don't know, I think Red got him good" Mark whispered back
"He has a thing for her" Preston confirmed
"Would you just shut up? I can hear you you know!" Derek said angrily
"Hey we just want to help" Preston answered
"I don't need your help, he over there helped me enough for today'' Derek said as he mentioned to Mark "And you, sorry dude but I know you for like a couple of hours now, I highly doubt you could help me"
"Yes you're right, and I don't know you but that doesn't mean I can't help and your friend over here is just plain stupid" Preston laughed
"That I agree on" Derek said as he laughed along with him
"Hey we were talking about Derek not me; and hey stupid or not I'm still hotter than you two will ever be" Mark smirked again full of himself
"Why do I have the feeling I should hug you?" Preston asked Derek as he could not understand how he could live with Mark everyday
"No but seriously, you can't help me, I think I'm beyond help this time" Derek said with a sigh
"No I don't believe that, yes you made a bad start, well a horrible start but why don't you just explain it to her?"
"Explain what? Oh I'm sorry but I'm usually not an ass?" Derek said sarcastically
"Yes tell her that! Say that you asked for Mark's advice because you like her so much and you didn't want to screw up"
"Hmm you think that would work?" Derek wondered
"Hell no! You'd have to buy her something too!" Preston said laughing "And please try this time not to offend her and keep your hands to yourself"
"Okay thanks man" Derek said as he patted Preston's back
"No problem'' he said
"Oh one more thing Preston''
"Yeah?''
"What the hell am I suppose to buy her?''
"What do girls like?'' Preston asked as he tried to help Derek on the right way
"Uh..'' Derek said as he looked as confused as Mark
"Ugh chocolates, jewellery, love letters, flowers seriously! Who does not know that?'' Preston stared unbelieving at the two
"Oh I could have made that up'' Mark said proud
"Sure you would'' Preston said unbelieving
"What are you still doing here?'' he asked Derek who was still sitting at the same spot
"Oh you meant like right now?'' Derek asked embarrassing
"No in 8 years when she is happily married, has two kids and a dog'' Preston said frustrated
"You're right I'm going!'' Derek said as he stood up and walked through the door like he was on a mission
"Oh my god!" Callie shrieked who was already unpacked and now helping Addison
"What?" she asked
"How many freakin shoes do you have?" She asked
"Oh that, well the rest will be shipped later, my dad refused me to pack them all at once"
"What's your shoe size?" Callie asked as she looked at the shoe
"Oh yay we have the same shoe size!" she said excitedly as she saw that she was also a size 9
"Borrow whatever you want" Addison said as she continued to unpack the suitcase which contained part of her clothes
"Really?" Callie asked and Addison nodded
""Wow! I love you!" Callie said as she wrapped her arms around Addison
"I know" Addison grinned
The next day classes started and to Addison's dismay, in most of her classes Derek was too
When she walked to her locker after her last class she did not know there was a surprise waiting for her.
On her locker ticked a paper, she unfolded the piece of paper which simply read
I'm sorry
- D
She didn't have to guess who the note was from
Oh…he's sorry!
No Addison! You're not that easy!
She opened her locker and it contained a rose with a letter
She picked up the rose and read the letter
Addison,
I'm so sorry for what happened, I could explain to you why I acted like this but you probably wouldn't believe me so I want to tell you personally.
I'm writing this letter because I really want to apologize to you, I really didn't mean what I said and I acted like a total asshole .
Please, I know I don't deserve this but if you give me a second chance then I'll make it up to you, meet me in the hall at 9
I hope you'll come
All day long I think of you...you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen
X Derek
She felt her eyes water after reading his letter
This is the most sweetest thing a guy ever did for me
Maybe I should give him a second chance…
Mom always told me not to rely on first impressions…
After a few minutes of debating wetter she should go or not she decided to give it a try.
It was hard to make this situation more worse for both of them then it already was.
I'm just going to hear him out, not look in his eyes and leave whenever he acts like a jerk again and most definitely not look in his eyes
'Do not look in his eyes' isn't that something what's always been said in fairytales?
It was already 5 to 9 when Addison walked out of her dorm towards the main hall.
She knew she was going to be late, but like she'd prefer to call it, she would be fashionably late.
Or maybe I should hurry up in case he thinks I stood him up.
Naah If he really would want to make up he'd stay…I hope so…
She decided not to tell Callie; Callie wouldn't understand why she would go and would probably talk her out of it.
It's okay to not tell her; I mean I'm not even sure what he's gonna say and maybe I won't forgive him after all. That's not worth fighting over!
Maybe I shouldn't go at all she thought as she stopped walking Callie's gonna know after all if I forgive him. And I'm not planning on forgiving him this fast, besides I only know him for 2 days.
Nope I'm not going to let him win me this easy, and I shouldn't fall head over heels in love with a guy this fast!
Or maybe if I don't go now there would be no chance that we'll ever make up. Then he's just going to think that I think he's not worth it!
But is he worth it at all?
What am I going to do?
-7 past 9 and Addison still wasn't there-
She's probably not coming at all he thought as he checked his watch for like the 120th time that evening Okay Derek relax she's only 7 minutes, no 8 minutes too late she'll come, just give her some time.
-12 past 9-
Nope you screwed up so bad she's never coming!
What am I going to do if she doesn't come? Should I go to her dorm? Should I write her another letter? Should I let her cool of and give her some time to think? Should I buy her more presents? Should I call her? Should I hit the emergency stop button in the elevator so she can't go anywhere and has to listen to me? Should I…
By the time it was half past 9 Derek ran out of ideas and had to try his best to not cry.
He stood there all alone, with no clue what to do, no clue what she wanted him to do, no clue if she was ever coming, ever planned on coming anyway and no clue if she would ever forgive him and give him a chance.
All I need is one chance, one chance to tell her I'm sorry to tell her how I really feel about her.
To tell her that she is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
That she is sexy, smart, attractive and makes my head spin and my body fly whenever I see her.
If only I had one more chance…
