AN: Wow, I feel like I haven't written anything in a while. Um… here you go guys, read, review, do what you do best. You know the drill.
Disclaimer: I do not own Darkest Powers Series (Uh dur) Or any songs I may or may not use in this one-shot….
Summary!: Tori and Chloe are friends and go to school together with Simon and Derek. Chloe is crushing on Derek, Simon's dating Liz (Will show up later) I guess? I don't know, just read it, it'll go where it goes.
"Annoying little kids…" I muttered under my breath.
"Woah! Did I just hear Chloe Saunders say something even remotely close to mean?" Tori teased.
"Yeah yeah, be quiet Tori," I hated to be so mean, but the pounding in my skull was putting me in a bad mood and I was sick of the little kids in the cafeteria. "Is it ok with you guys if I bail?" Tori and Liz nodded so I got up to leave. I sighed in relief when the cafeteria doors swung shut behind me. I started to wander the halls looking for something to do when I came across Derek.
I've had a crush on Derek for a year now, him and his brother Simon came to our school last year, Simon was nice. I turned him down once and after that, he started dating Liz. Liz and him seem to be very happily in love. Derek, on the other hand, gave me this look every time I passed him. It was this look like I was the ditsy blond and he just wanted nothing to do with me. So needless to say, I did not want to be near Derek at the moment. However, I wanted to get outside to the courtyard so I wouldn't be bothered and he was sitting next to the door.
When I walked by Derek he glanced up at me then just went back to reading his book. I sighed in relief when I stepped out the door into the courtyard. It was a bright, sunny, October day. I sat underneath the nearest tree and took a deep breath while closing my eyes. Blowing it out slowly, I felt my body relax and settle against the tree. We had a half day of school today so, I knew that I would be going home as soon as the bell rang and that cheered me up a little. Leaves crunching was the only warning I had to someone's approach and I slowly opened my eyes to see who it was. Expecting it to be Tori, I was smiling when I opened my eyes but, my face fell as soon as I saw who it was.
"Yes Derek?" I said grumpily, I was sick of him treating me like a child and not to mention, I was mad at him for interrupting when I was so happy.
"Well that's a nice way to greet a person. What, no hi? How are you?" Derek replied.
"Hi. How are you?" I snapped. "Now what do you want?"
Derek lowered his gaze to his shoes and his long black hair fell in his emeralds eyes. I couldn't help but notice how he looked a little bit like a kicked puppy when he did that. "You just looked like you could use some company, I'm sorry to have bothered you, I'll leave now," He said then he turned and started to walk away.
"Really?" I asked. Even I could here the skepticism in my voice.
Derek turned back and looked at me while raising one eyebrow. "Is that really so hard to believe?" he said.
"Well, considering you haven't said one word to me since you moved here and you give me this look like you think I'm just a child. Yeah, that is hard to believe."
To my surprise, Derek came over and sat next to me. "Well can you blame me? You're exactly Simon's type. I'm sorry but, I pegged you as the stupid cheerleader."
I bristled at the comment and smacked him with the sketch book in my hand. "That's for judging a book by it's cover." I said and he laughed.
"Do you honestly think you could hurt me? You're so tiny!" He said in between fits of laughter. I pouted and flipped my strawberry blond hair over my shoulder.
"Hmph!" I complained. When he saw the look on my face, Derek stopped laughing. I did my best to look sad and actually managed to get a tear to leak out of the corner of my eye.
"Oh shit! I didn't mean to be mean, I'm sorry. But, you have to admit you are tiny. I mean, I'm not saying that's a bad thing, that could be a good thing too. Ugh, do I always have to e stupid around girls?" He said while shaking his head. I laughed and when he realized that I was only teasing him, he pushed me. I fell on my side with an mmph and when I sat up, he was laughing. I held out my hand.
"I'm going to forget that you were such a jerk to me and we can start all over. Hi, I'm Chloe."
His huge hand enveloped mine and he laughed. "Hi, I'm Derek. Want to go get some hot chocolate after school?"
"Sure."
"Is that really how you and daddy met mommy?" My son asked. I nodded and stood up.
"Yup, that's really how we met. Now, time for bed. Goodnight Eli, sweet dreams," I pushed his blond hair off his face and kissed his forehead.
"Night mama," He replied sleepily and yawned.
I left his room and walked down the hall to the living room. Suddenly, I felt huge arms encircle me from behind.
"Tell him how we met again?" My husband whispered in my ear. I sank into his embrace and nodded.
"Yup, I told him that you were a jerk and I was just an innocent little girl." I said then turned in his arms and stuck my tongue out at him.
"Oh, I'll show you." He said. Suddenly, I was tossed over his shoulder and he was walking towards our room.
I started to giggle. "See! I told you that you were a jerk!"
AN: Yeah ok, that sucked. I'm just happy I got that out of my system, my creative juices are being trapped into my head and giving me a headache. Well, I'm out. OH! And if you want to listen to some good music listen to Tell Me I'm A Wreck- Every Avenue. That is all, bye bye. Sorry for the suckiness.
