Wow, I actually got on the computer so that I could update just for you people.

It was really bugging me that Derek hadn't finished what he was saying, but I guess I'll just find out later. I really want to know what that last part of what he was saying was, but at the same time I don't. I don't want him to say anything that would make stuff awkward between us. We are starting to get along without totally wanting to kill each other.
I really need to figure out how I really feel about him. I mean, do I just want to be friends with him? Or do I want to be more than friends? Or do I want to just analyze until I've overanalyzed this? Or would I rather just go out with someone else?
I think I'll take the latter. It makes sense that I be with someone who isn't my stepbrother. I mean, why would I want to be with him? He's rude, and annoying, and obnoxious, and sweet, and caring, and what am I saying? He's only sweet and caring towards Marti. He's like, never that way with me, although sometimes I wish he was.
Okay, that's a lie. He is sweet sometimes, but it's few and far between. Looks like I'm going to overanalyze this and still go out with someone else, two strikes, now I'll wait for the third.
Anyways, I already have someone in mind for dating, as you know, Max, who seems to like me, at least a little, has been bugged a little by Emily for his favorites and stuff he doesn't like. He likes burgundy, plays football, as you know, and is dating someone, according to Emily, but I think I'll find out for myself tomorrow. It works better to ask someone directly.
-¤- The Next Day-¤-
I was at my locker when Emily came up to me to talk, like we usually do in the morning.
"Hey, Case," she said.
"Hey, Em. What's up?"
"Not much, just don't want to be here. But who does?"
"True. Have you found anything else about him?"
"Him who?"
"Max," I said in a 'duh' tone.
"Oh, well I'm not quite sure what's going on with him. I mean, my research does have a ten percent chance of error, but apparently his on again off again relationship with Amy the cheerleader is on again. Don't go eating a gallon of ice cream because of it though. Go ask him…" but she was cut off by Max coming up to us.
"Hey, Casey."
"Hi, Max." Emily walked away, but still stayed close enough to hear my conversation with him.
"So, Casey, what are you doing on Sunday?"
"I don't know yet, maybe hit a movie…" and that's when Derek showed up.
"Hey, Princess. What movie are you going to hit and with and when? I mean, at least if you tell me that, I can make sure I'm not there to see you. I see you enough at home and here, I don't plan on seeing you anywhere else."
"Ugh, Der-ek! It's none of your business what I do, so just leave me alone. Okay? Also, I've told you many times before to not call me Princess. It's something that fathers call their little girls under the age of ten, not something that someone calls a sixteen-year-old girl who's their stepsister just to annoy them."
"Oh, well. Why should it matter? You are a Princess, so the name fits." And with that he walked over to Emily. I swear he does things just to annoy me.
"So, Casey, about this…" and I stopped paying attention to him then, as I was trying to hear Emily and Derek's conversation.
"Derek, she really likes him. What do you have against him?" She asked. I could tell she was upset that he was only asking her questions about me, because she seemed somewhat annoyed.
"I don't know. Maybe I just don't like him." And then he started to walk away from Emily. He walked by Max and me and said under his breath, "Maybe I just don't think he's good enough for her."
"Okay, sorry, Max, I have a lot on my mind and didn't quite catch what you said. Can you repeat what you said please?"
"Yeah, sure. I was just wondering what you doing this weekend."
"Oh, well I'm baby-sitting Saturday with Derek. I think that I might be able to get out for a little while to hang out with Em. Other than that, I have nothing planned."
"Okay, well would you like to go see a movie on Sunday, and maybe go to dinner?"
"Um…yeah, sure. That sounds like fun," I say even though I really want to just sit in my room and think about what Derek said. Oh, well. I guess a movie and dinner would help me get my mind of him.

Okay, well here's the other chapter for this, and I hope you guys will review. It says I have a lot of hits, but then I don't get reviews. The sooner I get reviews, the sooner I finish this story. The sooner I finish this story the sooner I'll update 'Another Universe'.
Also I'm going to revise the rest of the chapters a bit, but they'll still be up. I'm just going to replace the chapter with the revision.
Thanks and hope you liked it.
