Disclaimer: Don't own LWD, just the OC's. Ah, to own Derek, that would be wonderful.

A/N: Hm, I'm not getting many reviews for this which makes me sad, but there are a whooole lot of hits, so I'm guessing if the 6th chapter has a lot of hits, people should be reading continuously. Anyway, the drama keeps on going. There's a cute SamEmily part here, so enjoy! Review and tell me if you like what's going on, please.

"Okay so how about we-" Casey started but heard the uproar of Derek, laughing a few groups behind her. Casey took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and started again, "How about we-" Casey gritted her teeth, eyes closed, once hearing Emily's snort and Sam's laugh. "We could-" Derek laughed once more, and Casey spun around to face him. "Can you shut up? People are trying to work here!"

Jordyn and Derek jumped, and stopped breathing from the surprise. Casey glared at Derek, and then looked at Jordyn, who was genuinely scared. She had the same scared expression the night Casey asked her to do the plan. Casey had to admit, she was a little off that night, and Jordyn probably thought she was just always off from what just happened.

"Oh no no, not you Jordyn," Casey waved her hand at her, and Jordyn nodded slowly for an 'it's okay.'

"What's the matter Casey? The sound of enjoyment freaks you out?" Derek said, and looked at Shane. "I'm so sorry Casey hasn't learned the art of laughing, it must be hard working with her." With that Derek turned his back to Casey, and continued to joke around with Jordyn.

Casey shuddered, and clenched her teeth. Shane leaned into her, trying to be as comforting as he could be, "You okay, Case? You've been tense these few days."

Casey opened her eyes, to see Shane looking genuinely concerned for her. She looked into his green eyes, and smiled, "Yeah, it's okay though. I'm fine now."

Shane smiled, "Okay good. So what were you saying about what we could do?"

Casey nodded, smiling, as she looked down at her paper. The paper with her plans for the third day of what they would do for their project. She looked up seeing Emily snort, and Sam laugh together. Casey's eyes got wide once Emily's hand grazed Sam's hand, and Sam almost held it in his, "What?!" Casey yelled in a whisper, and Shane backed away, not ready for the shrillness in her voice.

"What do you think is going on with them?" Casey asked Jordyn, as the two sat at their lunch table.

"Uh," Jordyn looked up, taking a bite out of her pizza. Jordyn saw Emily laugh, and it seemed that it was because of Sam. Jordyn noticed that Emily seemed much happier these days, and that Casey should be happy for her. But Casey was probably too set on her 'take down Venturi' plan that Jordyn still didn't understand... or felt like she was following.

"Hey," Jordyn felt a hand on her back, and she turned to look up at the Derek, who passed by with his hockey team. "I'll talk to you later?"

Jordyn smiled, nodded, as he walked away, giving her a wink. Jordyn faced forward, to a Casey, who was uncomfortably close to her, "Oh." Jordyn said, backing away a little.

"You do remember our plan, right?" Casey asked, and Jordyn nodded.

"Of course."

Casey watched as Jordyn looked around awkwardly around the lunch table, and Emily sat down next to Casey .

"Hey guys," Emily sighed, a grin on her face. "How's your day, you guys? Because mine is going really really great."

Jordyn leaned forward to look over Casey, to smile at Emily. Casey turned to her right and stared at Emily. Things were weird, and she didn't understand any of it.

"That's great, Em," Jordyn said, leaning back into her chair. Catching a glance at a lunch table behind her, "Mine's been lovely."

Casey took her sandwich out of her plastic bag, "Mine's been weird."

"Did you guys watch the game last night?" Matt, a friend of Derek and Sam's, sat in front of them questioning the two about The Boston Bruins versus The Vancouver Canuck ice hockey game that was on the night before. "Well?" Matt looked up from his lunch, to see the two staring in the same general direction.

Matt turned around, to see in the direction seeing Jordyn and Emily talk over Casey, her head just turning left to right, in the middle of their conversation. Jordyn and Emily giggled as girls did, and Casey sat there, inspecting.

"You guys looking at Casey?" Both boys raised an eyebrow, their attention caught by Matt. "Ah, so you guys were looking at Casey."

Derek turned to his right, to face Sam, "You were looking at Casey?"

Sam shook his head, "No, were you?"

Derek shook his head, and Matt sat there confused. "So, who are you guys looking at?" Matt turned around, and made an o face. "Oh, Emily and Jordyn."

"You're looking at Jordyn?" Derek asked, an angry face forming.

"No," Sam said quickly.

"Who are you looking at then?" Derek asked, and Matt leaned in, extenuating that he was waiting for an answer.

"Uh," Sam looked down at his pizza, playing with the crust. "Emily."

"Emily!" Sam yelled, running down the hall to catch up with Emily and Jordyn. Sam took a deep breath, tired from the run, "What's up guys?"

Jordyn smirked. It was pretty obvious what was going on between Emily and Sam. It was also obvious that Casey was freaking out.

"Hey Sam," Emily said, plastering on the smile that she usually had around Derek. But Derek was old news. Sam was there. Sam noticed her. Sam was it.

"Nothing," Sam gave a nod. "I just wanted to say hi. Hi, Jordyn. Hi, Emily."

Jordyn smiled, and Emily's grin got bigger.

"I'll see you guys later. Emily, I'll call you…" He smiled, and then stuttered. "Well, you know, about the project."

Emily barely nodded; she was too caught up in their cute tension, "Sure. Bye, Sam."

Jordyn laughed, waving, "Bye, Sam." Jordyn turned Emily around to walk to the lockers. "Wow."

"What?"

"What do you mean, what? There's obviously something happening with you and Sam," Jordyn opened Casey's locker.

"You think so?" Emily asked, and Jordyn stared at her. "Okay, yes."

Jordyn gave a laugh, "So what are you guys gonna do about it?"

Emily raised an eyebrow, "Can we do anything about it? I mean, look at Casey's reaction whenever she sees me and Sam together."

Jordyn made a face. It seemed like Casey wanted too much at the sake of other people. She had a plan against Derek, and didn't seem to want Emily and Sam together. That was okay with Jordyn; Casey could do whatever she wanted… just not at the expense of Emily being happy.

"I don't think you should worry about that," Jordyn closed the locker, and leaned against it. "Talk to Casey about it. I mean if you really like Sam, Casey's a good friend, she'll understand."

Emily looked at Jordyn, who was giving her a reassuring smile, "Thanks, Jordyn. I think I will."

"No problem," Jordyn gave a nod. "Anything for a brewing relationship."

"Speaking of," Emily closed her locker, and Jordyn looked confused. "About you and Derek… what's going on there?"

"Nothing's going on there," Jordyn answered, a little too quick. "He's funny." Jordyn paused, "Once you get passed the whole being such a jerk thing."

"I think he likes you," Emily smiled, and Jordyn felt her cheeks turn red.

"That's funny, Emily. It really is," Jordyn gave a nervous laugh.

"I'm not kidding, Jordyn," Emily said, giving a light nudge on the arm. "I'm serious. You guys would be really cute and good together." Jordyn shook her head, "Okay, so the obvious connection between you two is just vapor, and only on Derek's part?"

"Yeah," Jordyn said, sternly. Emily stared at her with an arched eyebrow. "Please don't tell anybody."

"It's not bad," Emily said, smiling, knowing that Jordyn was starting to face the facts.

"No," Jordyn mumbled, looking at her locker, remembering her locker mate. "It really is."
