Sorry so long since the update! Hope you enjoy!
Casey's P.O.V.
I can't believe even Emily wants me to date Derek, it just doesn't make sense. Although the whole how to lose a guy in ten days idea is genius. Derek cannot tolerate public display of affect, because that makes him look unavailable to other cute girls.
In Calculus the teacher was sick so we had a free period which made it easy to talk to Emily.
"So," Emily said smiling. "Did Derek ask you out yet?"
"Well he asked me to go to practice and listen to the bands new song after school. Does that make it a date?"
"Well, according to the notes I have taken from before the only girl he ever brought to practice was Kendra. Normally on first dates Derek just takes a girl to dinner and a movie."
"Meaning?"
"Well it's either not a date, just wanting to hang out, or he is wanting to make the relationship look more serious. I'm going for the second choice. He wants you to think it's just more than make out movies, it's more of meet my friends type."
"But I already know Ralph and Sam. I dated Sam, and I was in D-Rock. Your boyfriend beat us remember?"
"I know, but he wants you to think he really likes you to the point of letting his friends know you two are dating."
"I guess that makes sense."
"So, tonight are you going to do anything to annoy him?"
"No, I think I will keep the 1st date cool like Andy did, reel him in, then go all PDA on him the 2nd date."
"Oh," Emily smirked. "I like the way you think!"
Derek's P.O.V. Ringggggggggggggggg
"Ergh," I said looking at my watch as the clock read 2:45. "What is taking her so long? She is never late!" Looking around one last time I saw her running around the corner toward the locker. When she stopped she placed her hands on her knees panting for breath.
"Sorry….I'm late…….teacher……kept me……" Holding back the urge to say something about grade grubbing or making fun for extra credit. I smiled and passed it off.
"It's ok, let's just go." I said heading toward the front door. "We're going to be late!"
When we got to the practice Ralph and Sam were already warming up. Upon seeing Casey coming in behind me, Sam smirked and Ralph dropped his drumsticks.
"Due no way is she going to be in our band again!" Ralph said pointing at Casey with one of the drumsticks he just picked up. "She is not going to ruin any more of our songs!" Sam reached over and grabbed the drumstick out of his hand and hit him on the head with he.
"Hey! What was that for?"
"Shut up!"
"What did I say?"
"Even if Casey does join the band again, she sings pretty good!"
"But she brings the band down!" Sam reached over with the drumstick and hit him on the head again.
"Stop!"
"Just play the drums!"
"Don't worry Ralph," Casey said with her arms folded across her chest. "I'm not joining the band again."
"Then why are you here?"
"Because," I said making a voice for myself. "I invited her to come. If you have any problems with it come to me."
"No problem, No problem at all!" Ralph said.
"Good now lets make some music!" I said grabbing my gutair and started playing. Casey walked over to the couch and sat down listening to the music. I smiled and winked at her. She started to blush.
2 hours later
"I'm telling you D, you really need to work on that lead of yours. It's lacking." Ralph said.
"I agree," Sam said.
"Fine," I said annoyed. "I'll work on it before next practice."
"Good!" Ralph said standing up. "Till then practice is over!"
Casey stood up yawning and walked over to where I was standing.
"Hungry?"
"Starving!"
"Leaving," I said grabbing her arm and walking out the door. Casey just laughed.
"Bye Sam!"
"Bye Casey!"
Dinner at Smelly Nelly's was as usual. Me with the large hamburger and fries and Casey with a small chicken salad. A lot of people stared at us funny. I guess it was because they're not used to us getting along let alone sitting a the same table laughing. I never realized how easy it was to talk to her though.
When we got home we were laughing about the story when Marti got all the animal sounds mixed up and our parents had a fit about it.
"And then Marti…" I said as I walked in the front door. George and Nora was on the couch watching TV.
"Hey Dad….Nora!"
"Derek, Casey is there something going on?"
"No, why?" I asked taking my coat off and hanging it up.
"You too are getting along!"
"Oh that," Casey said laughing. "Derek and I made a peace treaty to get along. We figured we given you enough problems and we should just deal with each other."
"Well that's very smart of you guys," Nora said smiling. "I hope this works out!"
