Casey began to awake the next morning

Casey began to awake the next morning. Did last night really happen? She thought to herself. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Noel's arm outstretched across her. She stirred and smiled silently for just a moment before reality set in and she realized. I have a boy in my bed, she panicked. With thus sudden realization she jumped up from the bed which made Noel fall quickly to the floor.

"Oh my god!" she screamed.

Noel jumped up from the floor rising trying to take in what just happened and suddenly he realized, he was not in his room, and then looked across the room and saw Casey.

"Ahh! This isn't my room!" he yelled.

"Yes, I..I know," Casey said trying to calm herself down.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Well…you and Derek came home completely wasted last night and I decided you shouldn't go home because your parents would freak if you came home drunk and then I let you crash on my bed and we began to fall asleep, when you said…" she began but then broke off. It's not like he meant it, he was clearly drunk and not thinking clearly.

"What did I say?"

"That…" She panicked, she decided not to say anything. Instead she smiled instead and said, "That Ms. Zeldin is out to get everyone."

"Oh.. wow.." he laughed. Then she began to notice that she liked his laugh. It was sweet and warm. "I must've been really out of it."

I'll say, she thought to herself.

"Yeah.." she said. She really hadn't a clue what to say? The two stood there for a moment just staring at their shoes and then she realized something.

"Oh no, my mom and George don't know you're here!"

"You didn't tell them?!" Noel said panicking.

"Well…sort of.. no," she said consciously.

"Great and how am I supposed to get out of here?" Noel said sarcastically.

"Climb down my window?" She said trying to hide Noel's belongings.

"Fine, but you should know not all girls get this kind of special treatment. Guys sneaking out their windows so their parents don't find out they had a boy in their room. Guess that's because you're my best friend." He began to say laughing while tossing his belongings in a bag.

"Well it's for your own good. If George found out you were up here in my room, you wouldn't need to get out of here because you'd already be dead."

"That's the kind of thing every guy wants to hear while their trying to sneak out of a girl's bedroom." He grabbed his stuff in his bag. Casey came over and tossed the bag out the window.

"Hey!" he said. "You know I have some pretty valuable stuff in there."

"What like your scooby doo watch?" She teased smiling.

"Very funny," he said and she stuck her tongue out at him and he laughed.

Just then they heard some noise coming in from the hallway. "Okay, You have got to go!"

Noel began to climb out the window, "I'll talk to you later, Repunzel. This prince has got to jet." He climbed down a bit and then jumped off the rest of the way. She smiled down at him as he grabbed is things and took off. If only he meant it, she thought.

She stared back into the room and suddenly the room began to feel a bit more empty. She sighed and decided to grab her bath stuff and head to the bathroom. On her way through the hallway she bumped into someone and nearly dropped all of her stuff.

She looked up and saw Derek and suddenly everything began flowing back into her mind.,

FLASHBACK

"Casey...Why is my beer gone? It was just here, I'm so sad... aww.. poor beer," he said.

"Oh, I'm sure you'll get over it," she said as they approached his room. She opened the door and Derek stumbled a bit.

Just as she was about to set Derek down into her bed. "Casey.. I..." he said and then just like that his lips crashed into hers. Casey was totally freaked out and didn't know what to do. Oh my god, Derek is kissing me. What the hell? How drunk is he right now? She thought. She seemed lost in the kiss for a moment than snapped herself out of it as Derek began to lift his hand up her.. She stopped him, broke their embrace and tossed his drunken self onto the bed.

END OF FLASHBACK

Oh my god. Derek.. Derek and I kissed! Or should I say he kissed me! What the heck is wrong with the world? What the heck would provoke him to do something like that? Why am I still thinking about this? He clearly mistook me for someone like Scarlett Johansson, she panicked.

Apparently Derek was acting strange too. They stood there in complete silence with each other. Could he have remembered what happened? Is that why he's not saying anything? She thought.

"Are you going to move or what? Or are you waiting for the 80's to come back. What's with ridiculous hair? News flash it's 2008 not 1988. Get a life!" Of course not, she thought. Derek will and will always be Derek.

"Are you seriously trying to talk fashion sense Mr. I use way too much product in my hair?"

He scowled at her and it was back to normal but for some reason Derek was spewing much more venom than normal.

"Whatever," he said and began to trickle down the stairs while Casey ran into the bathroom to get ready.

After that Derek ran down the stairs to eat some breakfast. While he was gathering himself up some pancakes and orange juice. He couldn't help but think that he made a mistake last night. What the hell happened, he thought to himself. All he could remember so far was getting drunk and then the next morning waking up fully clothed on his bed. Though, there was something else that he couldn't quite place his finger on.

After a half hour of prepping and getting ready she went down for breakfast as she always had every morning. When she went down. She decided that she was going to forget everything that happened last night. It was all just a bunch of mistakes.

When Derek saw her come into the kitchen suddenly he remembered. He remembered everything. Him getting drunk, coming home, Casey pulling him into his bedroom, then attacking her lips with his and then.. Oh my god, he thought. I tried to… oh man! Suddenly he wasn't in the mood to eat.

He just sat there nervously staring at his food. No way he could bare facing her at this point not any way in hell.

Casey pretended not to notice Derek's sudden strange behavior. It was for the best right?

Breakfast was just about over. Casey couldn't have been anymore thrilled to get out of there. So she took her plate in and Derek didn't even glance up. She decided she would take herself to school today. Maybe for once try and hide the high school drama of boys. She had a peaceful drive and only listened songs she liked. This time she decided she was going to listen to Avril.

"I just wanna scream and lose control
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and runaway yeah
I just want to fall and lose myself
Laughing so hard it hurts like hell
Forget about everything and runaway yeah."

She is so right, all I want to do is just forget about everything and fun. Try and forget about all the drama of high school, Casey thought.

She arrived at school no later than normal and when she got there she saw Noel standing there with 2 cappuccinos in his hands.

"Here you go milady, for you, sort of a thanks for taking care of me after what happened last night. You know I normally don't drink."

She smiled at him, he was so sweet and suddenly her heart began to pound being near him. Today he was wearing a dark jeans and a red hoodie/ jacket over a Save Ferris t-shirt. Casey even had to admit, he looked totally hot!

"Thanks," she said softly.

"Walk you to class?" he said guiding her to her next class. She looked up at him and realized how tall he was. Not like a goonish tall, just a nice tall and the way he towered over her mad her feel safe.

She nodded.

"Noel?" She asked finally.

"Yeah?" he said.

"What happened last night?"

"What the you and I part or the beginning part?"

"All of it."

"Well.. here goes.." and he proceeded to tell her everything that went on last night. Justin, the boating, the bar. He of course purposefully left out the conversation with the bartender. Casey was in awe of all the events.

"I cannot believe him!"

"Who? Derek?"

"Justin," she said. "He promised he would be good and now he goes off and get's you and Derek Drunk."

"You know Casey. I hope you don't me asking. What happened between you guys all those years ago?"

"It's a long story," she began to say.

"I've got time. Class doesn't technically start for another 20 minutes." She found a place on the steps and sat down and she gestured him to come sit next to her.

"Well you know how me and Justin used to date?" She began. Noel's heart began to sink and suddenly he was regretting asking the question.

He nodded softly and she said, "Well it was more than just a casual thing. We were both young when we met. A little younger than Lizzie and Edwin. We were really close and he was very into music and wasn't your conventional 10 year old and that's what kind of drew me to him. We suddenly began to be fast friends and suddenly when we turned 13 that changed," she started. Noel's heart was sinking even further he knew where this was headed. "Well we began to fall for one another and at first it was exciting he was becoming dangerous and I totally dug that. Then he started getting into trouble which led me to get into some trouble. You know he used to not be the incredible jerk off he is today?"

"Could of fooled me," Noel said.

"I know, but he actually used to be really sweet then we had this falling out and he moved away to be with his band and suddenly everything changed. I went back to who I was before we met. The real me. The girl you see before you're eyes. Then well he returned and he was completely different. Worse. He wasn't sweet. All he wanted me to do was run away with him. To love him and it just wasn't working out because deep down I knew it wasn't right. So I told him I was moving and that he should go. He stormed out and that was that. I never heard from him, until now."

She began to get quiet and then started back up again. "I've never told anyone that before. Not even Emily or my parents."

"So why are you telling me?"

"I guess I feel comfortable talking about things with you."

"Why is that?" he said trying to get serious.

"What?"

"Why do you feel comfortable talking with things about me than anyone else?"

"What? I.. guess.. i don't know you get me.. and I guess I can tell you things.." What is he talking about? She thought.

"But what does that mean?"

"That I can talk to you.. I don't know," She said confused. What the heck is he getting at? I am so very very confused right now, she thought.

"You know what? Whatever, I gotta go." He got up and walked off.

"Noel!" She began to exclaim but it was far too late he was already out of the hallway.

She frowned and went to her locker to get her books and suddenly she saw a note on her locker.

She picked up the note and began to read.

Rehearsal practice. 3493 Box Avenue. Be there, battle of the bands isn't too far away and someone is excited to see you!
