"DINNER!" George called from downstairs.

"One more page, George!" I said while rushing to finish the last page of the book assignment we were given.

When I came downstairs, I was greeted with a not-so-happy Derek.

"About time, braniac."

"I was reading our book assignment, slacker."

"Good job, Casey. Derek, do you have the same assignment?" Mom asked.

"What assignment?" Derek grumped while stuffing spaghetti into his mouth.

"Yes, he does, Mom," I told her.

"Really? I do? What a shame," Derek managed to say in between bites.

Derek's POV

The phone rings.

"I'll get it!" Casey calls while getting up.

"Casey. We're in the middle of dinner!" Nora scolded.

"I know, but this is Sam's only time to call," Casey says before picking up the phone, "Hello? Hey you!.. What?.. What do you mean?... You sure?.. Oh. Okay. Bye."

She walked back to the table quietly, "What was that all about?" I asked.

"Nothing." I can hear her voice waver a tad. I can tell she was forcing herself not to cry.

After dinner, Casey locked herself in her room. I went up there and knocked on her door.

"I don't wanna talk."

"Yeah, you do. Let me in."

"Derek, go away."

"Casey, let me in!"

"UGH!" I heard Casey unlock the door, and then walk back to her bed.

I opened the door, "Casey, now tell me what really happened during dinner." Casey looked up at me. I can see her eyes were puffy.

"Sam dumped me," she said, trying to fight back tears, "For Kristin Taylor."

"What? No way! She's a total whore."

"You were right. I was moving too slow for him."

"No, Casey. Sam is a jerk. Forget about it. Go get dressed and go to sleep. Don't cry for him, he doesn't deserve it." I watched Casey get up to get dressed. She didn't even tell me to get out, so I stayed. I laid down on the bed and shut my eyes.

"Derek, you're on my bed," I heard a voice say. I opened my eyes and looked around.

"Well, I guess I am. Come here," I said while patting the spot next to me.

"What?"

"Casey, I'm too tired to get up and walk to my room. So, just sleep next to me."

I was imagining Casey refusing to do so, but instead, I feel her getting under the covers and turning away from me. I try to fall back asleep, but Casey's voice just keeps ringing in my head.

"Derek, you were right. Sam is a total jerk. I'll never know how I could of gotten through this without you."

I turned around and put my arm around her. Suddenly, I found myself pulling the straps to her top down and giving her kisses around her shoulder... her neck.. her cheek. Casey turned her head towards mine to give me a kiss straight on the lips. I could feel it slowly deepen and deepen. I brushed my tongue against her lips and she opened them up to let my tongue in. It felt perfect. It was perfect. Casey drew back, turned back around and went to sleep. What was wrong? Did I do something?

Of course something was wrong. I just kissed my sister! Society frowns on that type of thing. What if the whole school knew? Girls will probably think I'm disgusting.
