My Best Friend

Chapter 1

A/N: Hey! Ok, I was sitting here thinking and I got this idea… I really hope you guys like it. Oh, this is not Heather (the one who writes Things Happen) I am the other chica… lol. Ok, R&R please…

Summary: Life With Derek A/U. What if Nora and George were never together? Casey and Derek grew up as best friends; they've always looked out for each other. But, what happens when they start feeling deeper feelings for each other?

"I'm so sick and tired of the stupid beach house… we go like every weekend since mom bought it." Casey sighed, lying down on Derek's bed.

"So you're going for the whole summer vacation?" Derek asked.

"Supposedly… Maybe I could just stay home."

"Like your mom will let you do that after what happened last time."

"It's so not my fault that YOU invited a bazillion people to MY house."

"Yeah, well…"

"Ugh-huh."

"Ooh, I have an idea…"

"Ok?"

"What if you stay here with us?"

"Here? Like either of our parents are going to approve of that."

"Approve of what?" George asked walking into Derek's room.

"Can Casey stay with us for the summer? Because they are going to that beach house and she doesn't want to go."

"The whole summer? What does Nora think?"

"We haven't asked her."

"Well… Casey, go ask your mom and I'll think about it."

"Ok." Casey smiled, getting up off Derek's bed.

"Bye Cas, see you in a little bit."

"Bye." She blew him a kiss and walked out of his room.

"Casey, I just don't know."

"Come on mom. It's just Derek."

"Right, it's just a hormonal 16-year-old boy…"

"It's not like I'm gonna be sleeping in his bed."

"Whatever… I guess."

Casey went into her room and grabbed her cell phone. She dialed Derek's cell.

"Hey sexy." He said answering the phone.

"Hey gorgeous." She replied.

"So, did you talk to your mom?"

"Yeah."

"What'd she say?"

"That you are a hormonal 16-year-old boy…"

"And…"

"I can stay with you."

"Awesome."

"Are you eating over here tonight?"

"I guess, if you guys don't care."

"You eat here like every night… we seriously don't mind."

"Thanks…"

"No problem."

"I talked to mom today."

"Really?"

"Yeah. She wants us to go visit her."

"Are you going to?"

"Marti and Edwin are. I'm not… if she wants to see me, she can come here."

"Did you tell George?"

"Yeah, he's cool with it. Plus, you'll be here with me."

"I sure will. Hey, I need to go take a shower. You can come on over, if you want."

"Ok."

"Love you."

"Love you too."

Casey and Derek walked into her room after dinner.

"I'm so ready to get out of school." Derek sighed plopping onto Casey's bed.

"Tomorrow's the last day."

"I know. When are Nora and Lizzie leaving for the beach?"

"Saturday."

"Cool."

"Did you see Sam and Emily today?"

"Yeah. They are so going out, I don't care what they say…"

"I know." Casey giggled.

A/N: So, what do you guys think…? I will update ASAP. Please review… it makes me feel awesome. I swear I will write longer chapters, especially once I get into it and see how you guys feel about it. Oh, random tid-bit of info about me… I don't have a computer with internet at home… so bear with me. I'm trying to get like way ahead… so that I can have most of it uploaded and just have my fabtosis friends no names CoUgHHeatherCoUgH post the chapters…

Oh, totally random thought… Casey/Derek need a couple nickname…
