As soon as she got home Casey ran for her room. She sighed in relief, noticing Derek didn't seem to be home. "Hey Case." a familiar voice said as she closed the door to her room. "Derek!" she said, turning around. He was sitting on the edge of her bed, her diary lying next to him. "Derek, you can't just come in here and read my personal thoughts and opinions!" she fumed, walking over and picking it up. "Even if it's all about me?" he asked, yawning. "especially not if it's all about you, which it is not!" she yelled, putting the book onto her dresser. "So, the page all about Derek Venturi the 'pig' is about someone else?" he asked her jokingly. "Fine, congratulations, you officially know I hate you!" she yelled heatedly, then pointed out the door. "Calm down, Space Case. I was kidding, jeez." he said, raising his hands in surrender. "Derek, please leave." she said, sitting down on her bed as far away from him as possible. "We have to talk at some point, Casey." he said, turning to face her. "Derek, Emily heard you. You can't just go around saying things like that in front of girls who like you!" she yelled. "Casey, if you haven't noticed, I've been saying 'things like that' to plenty of girls in front of her, and she's still fine." he told her. "Derek, there is nothing to talk about, you kissed me, that doesn't mean we're engaged or something." she said, climbing off of her bed and opening the door for him to leave. "Casey, you kissed back and you know it." he whispered as he left, leaving her standing there in shock
Lizzie and Edwin stood in the games closet. "So, you're sure what you heard?" Edwin asked her, shocked. "Yes, Edwin. I'm pretty sure." she replied. "Derek seriously kissed Casey?" he asked quietly, so nobody would hear. "Yeah! And she kissed back!" "when did this happen?" he asked, leaning in. "I don't know, they didn't say, but it has to be pretty recent, right?" Lizzie asked him. "Well, yeah, otherwise Derek would have moved on." "you think? I know he goes through girls like butter but I thought he liked her." Lizzie asked him. "I always assumed, too, but it's Casey." Edwin hissed. "So, what do we do?" Lizzie asked him. "I think I know..." Edwin said with a mischievous smile. He whispered something in Lizzie's ear, and she grinned. "Edwin, you are a genius."
Hey, guys! I hope you liked this chapter. I wanted to bring Edwin and Lizzie into this, just because I think they would probably get involved anyway, so, yeah. I'll post more really soon, promise!
