Hey guys

Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. I've been crazy busy with school. So I got mixed responses from people on my last chapter. More of you didn't mind that I had them take a break, while some of you didn't like it. Trust me I love Dasey just as much as all of you, so they will be back. I just had some other ideas that I wanted to put in so I had to have them take a break for it to happen. Hopefully you will like these next few chapters. I'm not sure how long I'm going to make it anymore. I haven't decided if I should keep this one going or end it after 3 more chapters n then make a sequel. Ideas anyone? Well enjoy chapter 20!

Love you all

Kara.

Chapter 20 Be my date?

Casey's POV

So it's been about 7 months since Derek and I took a break. I miss being his girlfriend. I miss being able to hug and kiss him whenever I wanted. I mean don't get me wrong being Derek's friend is amazing too. He still acts like a total gentleman to me, just without the dates, the kisses, the… everything. It's not the same just being his friend. Now to top it all off, prom is next week and I don't have a date. It's terrible, I've been waiting forever for my prom and it's finally here and I don't have a date. I still bought my dress anyways, in hope that someone would ask me, but that didn't happen. Oh well, I guess I'll just go with Emily and Trevor as friends. I wonder who Derek is going with. Kendra? No. Amy? No. Who else has he gone out with? Oh this will take a while. Just then my phone rings to tell me I have a new text message. Ha-ha, speak of the devil.

"Go outside."

"What? Why?"

"Just go."

I look out my window and there is Derek outside, leaning up against his car. I check myself in the mirror and make my way downstairs. I open my front door and go outside. Derek smiles at me and walks over. We give each other a kiss on the cheek and I sit and wish that it was an actual kiss. He pulls back and smiles down at me.

"So how are you?"

"I'm okay. What's up?"

"Do you have a date for prom?"

"No, I guess I'll just be a third wheel with Emily and Trevor. What bimbo are you going with?"

"I'm looking at her."

"What?"

"Case, I know we are on some break here but I don't want to go to prom with any one else but you."

"Really?" Oh my god, Derek might actually still have feelings for me! Maybe prom won't be so bad after all.

"Really, I won't have it any other way."

"Oh Derek."

Derek then gets down on one knee, just like when he gave me the promise ring.

"Casey McDonald, will you go to prom with me?"

I start giggling and say,

"Get up."

"Is that a yes?"

"Yes Derek Venturi, I'll go to prom with you."

"Great." He gets up and kisses my cheek. He pulls back and we stare at each other smiling. We both are too distracted by the beauty of the other's eyes that we don't realize that our arms are wrapped around each other.

"Oh, but we're going alone. I don't want to go through sharing a limo and everything. But don't worry, I'll handle everything."

"But I want to take pictures with Emily?"

"We will do that. Just not share a limo."

"Oh um okay, that sounds good then I guess." Why doesn't Derek want to share a limo? It's really no big deal. Maybe he has something planned for us? Well I guess my prom night is actually going to be a lot better than I thought it would be. Then Derek's dad calls him and says he has to come home, so he gives me a kiss on the cheek and drives home.

'I wonder if this night will be as amazing and unforgettable as our first date.'

Next day.

General POV

Casey gets up and dressed bright and early Tuesday morning. She picks out a pink shirt and jeans, along with her Tiffany necklace and matching bracelet. She sits down and does her makeup, which she makes sure looks like she really doesn't have any on, then sprays Vera Wang Princess perfume on herself and then walks out of her room. She walks down the stairs gracefully and into the kitchen. She grabs the cereal and milk and pours herself a bowl of cereal. She begins to eat when her phone starts to vibrate.

"Hurry up, I'm outside."

"Coming loser, calm down."

Casey puts her bowl in the sink and grabs her stuff for school. She yells goodbye to her mom, Joe and Lizzie and walks out the door. There is Derek waiting in his car outside. Derek gets out and opens Casey's door for her.

"Late much?"

"Impatient much?"

"Ha-ha, get in loser."

Casey climbs into Derek's car and he shuts the door behind her. Derek then walks around and climbs in the other side. Derek turns the car back on and the music starts blasting from the radio.

"Oh my god, I love this song!"

"Oh my god, you are such a loser."

"Oh my god!"

"Alright, Alright, you can change it."

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

'Oh man I really hope that maybe the prom will bring us back together.'

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile

Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

'I really miss being Derek's girlfriend.'

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
its compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

'God he looks great today.'

Derek then pulls into the school parking lot and pulls into a spot. Then he turns to Casey and tells her to hurry.

"We're really late."

"Sorry."

Casey and Derek run into the school and straight for their first class.

Derek's POV

"Mr. Venturi, how nice of you to join us."

"Sorry about that, car trouble."

"Whatever, just take a seat and take out your notebook."

I walk over to my seat and Sam whispers to me,

"Dude where were you?"

"Casey came out late and I had to pick her up."

"Mr. Venturi, no talking."

"Sorry sir."

I turned back in my seat but then Sam passes me a note.

"Did you ask her to prom?"

"Yea, she said yes."

"Nice D! You want to go in the limo together?"

"Na man we're getting our own limo."

"Oh too good for us I see."

"Ha-ha naa not like that. I just want us to be alone."

"Ohh I get it. Ight man, have fun."

"It's nothing like that. I just want Casey to have the most amazing night ever."

"Ha still whipped I see."

"To be whipped you have to be dating the girl buddy, so I am not whipped. She's had a hard year. She deserves a good prom."

But I never get to pass that note to Sam, it gets intercepted.

"Mr. Venturi. You arrive late to my class with no note, you interrupt my class with your talking, and now you are not even bothering to pay attention because you are too busy passing notes. What do you have to say for yourself?"

"Um, I'm sorry?"

"Just try and pay attention Venturi."

"Yes sir."

I mouth thanks to Sam and open up my book.

Casey's POV

"So I hear you're going with Derek to the prom?" Emily says coming up behind me and scaring me that I nearly dropped all of my books.

"Oh, uh yeah he asked me yesterday."

"That's great, a little last minute, but none the less great. Now at least you'll have a date."

"Yeah, thankfully. I mean it really wouldn't be that great of a prom if I didn't have a date."

"Yeah I know what you mean. So you think that this will bring you two back together?"

"I don't know Em. I mean Derek did say that he would wait for me but I don't know. It's been seven months, I'm sure he has his eyes set on some bimbo. I mean it is Derek."

"Yes that's true but he did ask you to prom. Yeah he waited a while but maybe he couldn't build up enough courage to ask you until now. Lucky for him no one else had asked. Although he might've threatened a couple of guys when he found out that they wanted to go with you."

"What?"

"Nothing, I'm just saying I really think that Derek still has feelings for you. Maybe this night will bring you two back together."

"I don't know. I guess I'll just have to wait and see."

I walk to my next period class continuing to wonder if Emily was right. Does Derek want to be with me still? Did he really just have to work up enough courage to ask me? Did he really threaten some guys just so I wouldn't go with them? Maybe Derek really went through a lot to make sure that he was still an option. Maybe that's why no one else asked me. Ugh I wish I was just able to read Derek's mind or something and be able to know what he's thinking, instead of asking myself these stupid questions.

Okay there you go, chapter 20. Not so sure if I liked it. Nothing really happens except for Derek asking Casey to prom but I wrote it anyways. Hope someone likes it. I'm writing the next chapter now to make up for me taking so long to update. Hopefully it will be on later tonight. Remember review and I'll update faster, promise! If anyone has any suggestions, message me!

REVIEW. Love you all.
