He and Sam were hanging out at the corner of the hallway with Ralph, Kendra, and Eddie. Eddie had his arm around Kendra's waist and it didn't even bother him in the slightest. They were talking about hockey, but he couldn't be sure because he wasn't really paying attention. Then, he saw Rachel, the new girl walking down the hall towards their group.
"Hey," Derek said, butting into whoever was talking. "What's her deal?" he asked Kendra as he nodded in Rachel's direction.
"Rachel?" Kendra asked him, intrigued.
"Yeah."
"Well, she just moved here from Toronto. She has an older brother. She plays the guitar, has a tattoo on her lower back of a butterfly, likes to swim, and hates cinnamon gum," Kendra told him.
"Does she have a boyfriend?"
Kendra shook her head, "Not that I know of."
He grinned, "Excellent." He broke away from the group and jogged towards Rachel until he caught up with her. "Hello," he greeted her.
"Uh, hi," she replied.
"I'm Derek," he said.
"I know who you are."
"You do?" he asked, pretending to be surprised, because how could she not know who he was after coming to his school.
"Yeah, you're Derek, local heartthrob, hockey captain, and leader, plus owner of my number," she said casually as she held up a piece of paper. He plucked it from her fingers. "I trust you know how to use a phone?" she asked as she walked away, leaving him with her number in his fingers.
Love this story.
I have a Shawn/Juliet story on my livejournal from Psych. When I finish it, I might post it here. Mmm and I have this excellent dramatic monologue that I wrote for English on my livejournal. Check it out if you need to laugh (and you kind of have to ask yourself how it's absurd or else you might miss the humor. Well at least I think the toaster part is just pure gold but I am kind of biased.)
Back to Hidden, I have up to chapter eight written. But do you know what you have to do to get there? Review! Haha, I bet you knew that was coming. Good-bye dears!
