"Casey McDonald and Derek Venturi"
They both stood stiff; shocked, and scared.
"Here you are" The principle smiled, he came over to them.
"Um, I'm sorry" Casey said trying to find a voice that was somewhere in her throat" But…but…did you just say that we'll have to be sharing a room."
"Yes" The principle said nodding.
"Well isn't that not supposed be allowed?" Derek asked "Since the boy – girl thing"
"Wow Derek I'm surprised you can tell the difference" She said sarcastically muttered, even thought it was loud enough for him to hear.
"Shut up" Derek said angrily "But I guess that would be too hard for you to do, since you never can keep your mouth shut"
"What are you six?"
"Five actually"
"God, you're so annoying"
"You're so annoying" He mocked.
"Enough!" The principle said "Both of you"
Casey and Derek both crossed they're arms and looked away from each other.
"Now the reason you're being put in the same room is because of the sibling thing. All siblings will be required to share a room."
Right sibling who kiss and make out. The thought crossed both teenagers' minds.
"But we aren't really siblings, we're step" Derek explained to him.
"That may be, but your parents told us that-"
""Our Parents!""
"They told you to do this" Casey asked shocked.
"Yes, they said something about you two needed to get along before college" The principle said to them, looking up in thought. "And I can see why"
"Well can't you not and say you did" Derek said smirking mischievously.
The principle thought about this for a moment, glanced at the pages in his hands and shook his head.
"I'm sorry but there aren't any rooms available" He handed both of them cards "Your room is going to be 6555 on the north end of the ship. Tonight's dinner will be at 6:00, no jeans, shorts, tank tops or bathing suits should be worn at dinner, Its going to be on the 3rd floor at the Romeo and Juliet dining room. Don't be late." With that the principle walked away from them and back to the group.
"I can't believe George and Nora did this" Derek said shaking his head in disbelief.
Casey didn't respond back at him but nodded in agreement.
They walk toward the elevators, got in and pressed 11.
They rode up the elevator in silence.

Emily eyes widened at spotting the two walking together towards them.
She feared the worst.
"So who did you guys get?" Emily said acting without a care.
"Don't tell me you guys got the same room" Ralph blurted out in a mid laugh; as stupid as he was. He sure had asked the question that was on everyone's mind.
Derek slowly nodded his head, his eyes glancing to Casey's, then quickly glancing back down to the floor. Both sat down quickly at the table.
"What? Why... would they put you two together" Emily asked frantic hinting in her voice, she stared at them.
"George and Mom thought it'd be best if we'd share a room" Casey paused "To get to know each other better before college starts"
"Wow" Sam whispered; he knew he was in for an interesting trip "Wait, what do you mean college?"
Derek cringed, he hadn't exactly had the time to tell Sam Or Emily that Casey and him had been excepted to the same university and by the looks of Emily face neither had Casey. He hadn't planned on telling them anyway; but now he'd have to.
"Casey and I got accepted into Queens" he slowly told his friends.
Shock entered each of their friends expressions.
"What! Why didn't you guys tell me" Emily said.
Both didn't respond.
"Why don't you guys get something to eat? They have some amazing food here" Sam weakly smiled trying to change the subject as he sensed the tension stinging in the air.
"Yeah well, I'm not very hungry" Casey said bitterly "Sorta lost my appetite when I heard I was going to be sharing a room with Jerk"
"What the heck is that suppose to mean?"Derek asked; he turned his body towards her.
"It means that maybe if you hadn't pull all that crap in high school just to bug me, we wouldn't be in the stupid mess" She said glaring at him as she got louder
"So you think this is my fault!" He said angrily.
"Yes, yes I do"
"Well you know what princess. Maybe if you hadn't acted like some grade grubbing keener saint I wouldn't have acted that way"
"Yea well at least I'm not a skirt chasing cad who's with every girl at school"
"Well at least I have girls who still like me" Derek paused, then smirked bitterly"I mean you only keep guys for so long, first Scott, Max and now Truman. And in the end they always run. You're not worth sticking to anyway"
He paused and regretted everything that was coming out of his stupid mouth.
Everyone stood still; watching them.
"Case, I didn't mean-"
Casey turned her head away; and then looked at him. He saw the tears that were willing to come out of her gorgeous blue eyes "I hate you" She said low and harsh , she quickly got up and ran to the exit of the buffet.
He closed his eyes and groaned. What the heck had he'd be thinking.
"Dude as much as you are my best friend, you sure do know how to act like a jerk" Sam said patting the back of Derek's back in pity. He got up and left; Ralph and Amanda trailing along behind him.
"Well I think you were right for giving her a piece of your mind; she deserved it" Emily said she pecked his cheek happily. "Oh and honey right before you came we'd been planning to go to the pool at 3:30. Meet me there?"
Derek didn't move his eyes from where Casey had exited. "Yeah sure"
"Ok see ya later babe"
He heard her footsteps behind move further away. But he didn't care if he'd said goodbye to Emily or not.
Casey could be so stubborn at times that it made him lose control and he hated her for it. Or rather he hated himself.

She gently cried into her pillow in her new room she'd be sharing with Derek. She had no idea how she was going to do this.
There never was a time when she wasn't upset at him.
And this was one of those moments.
But sadly all those things he'd said had made sense, but it still hurt to hear them.
She glanced around the room from where she laid. It was pretty big; two twin beds; window overlooking the Royal Promenade. Everything looked amazing. But she still couldn't find herself to feel excited about it.
Casey heard the door open. And saw Derek come out, a worried expression on his face.
"Hey Casey" He said casually.
She scoffed.
"Look Case, I know you're mad at me, but I just wanted to let you know that I am sorry" Derek said truthfully "And I didn't mean what I said before."
"No, you're right, I'm not worth sticking to" Casey said echoing the harsh words he had told her.
He came closer and sat on the bed with her "No I'm not right, you're amazing and every guy who's dumped you or cheated on you, is and will always be a jerk" Derek looked at her big swollen blue eyes "Like me"
"Then if I had been so great" Casey said "Why haven't there been any good guys?"
"I don't know" He answered truthfully "But you'll find the right guy soon."
She looked up at him from where she laid on the bed.
"Thank you Derek" She seem to breathe out.
He smirked "Does this mean I'm forgiven?"
"Yeah" Casey said as she smiled. As much as she wanted to stay angry at him; right now she just couldn't.
"Good" He changed his famous smirked to a genuine smile.
Casey got up and wiped her tears away"I was planning on heading to the top deck and see the ship leave port, do you want to come?"
"Um" He thought about it for a moment "No it's alright"
Her face fell a little but she managed to force a smile "Ok then, I guess I'll see you later"
She went to the dresser and grabbed her purse and headed to the door.
"Wait Casey"
She turned around "Yeah"
"Emily wanted me to tell you that once the bags get here, at 3:30, she wanted all of us to go to the Pool by the big bar on deck 11"
"Sure, I'll see you there" Casey closed the door behind her and left.
Derek glanced at his watch that told it was 1:30 the ship would be leaving at 2:00.
He looked around the room "Sweet place"
He thought about Casey's offer earlier to go with her. But thing was he was afraid. Afraid of getting to close; hurting her and himself.
Derek had no clue how this "room" thing was going to turn out. But by the looks of it, it didn't look too good.
LWDLWDLWDLWDLWDLWD
Casey breathed in and out slowly trying to calm herself.
She looked out to the port from which the ship was leaving from and saw numerous people waving.
She waved back not caring if she didn't know them.
Casey thoughts went back to Derek as they now always seem to drift to. She thought about how different he had been acting since they had begun the trip.
Maybe it had something to do with their parents not being with them. She certainly had no idea why she was acting the way she was with him.
But it was insane to think she might actually have feelings for Derek, the same guy who thought it had been hilarious to change her shampoo to honey.
But she still remembered that kiss that never seemed to go away from her mind.
Casey didn't know how she was going to deal with this for 2 weeks. But with Derek she was scared that if they did ever start a relationship, he'd break her heart, just like he'd done with tons of other girls.
Plus he was dating her best friend. Even thought Emily felt to be getting father and father away from Casey. Still Casey didn't want to be known as the girl who had broken them up for her little attraction to Derek.
Another sound of the horn and the ship was moving away from shore.
Moving away from everything she knew.
Everything with which she was familiar with.
Moving into uncharted territory into the unknown.
