Later that day…
Lizzie walked down the rows of tables in the Cafeteria of her new school. Casey had gotten special permission from all teachers to show Lizzie around that day. The only thing Liz couldn't wait for was her date today.
Even with an older sister known as the 'Grade Grubber' and 'Klutzilla', Lizzie was still the most popular girl. Smiling, she approached Edwin. "How are we going to keep the secret from everyone? Especially Derek and Casey, since their oldest and dating. I mean, you're supposed to keep Derek's rep." she said wrapping an arm around his waist.
Edwin sighed and looked at Lizzie. "Don't worry, babe. We'll tell them when the time is right. And I know I have to keep Derek's rep, but that will come some other day. Right now though, we have a lunch date to attend." he said, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and guiding her to their table.
What was great about Ed and Liz is that they were most popular. Everyone knew they were going to get together, stepsiblings or not. It didn't matter what Casey, Derek, Nora, or George thought. They were together, and that's all that mattered to them.
Lizzie sat down next to Edwin and sighed. Soon, the double doors opened and in walked Derek and Casey. Her eyes got wide and she nudged Edwin. "Edwin! What are we going to do?" she hissed.
Edwin felt Lizzie nudge him and looked where Lizzie was pointing. He gulped and shrugged. "I don't know. The great Edwin Venturi has absolutely no ideas." He said, copying something his brother said two years ago. Sighing, he looked at Derek and smirked, pointing at the girl on the other side of him. All Derek did was nod in approval.
Casey followed Derek's gaze and raised her eyebrows in surprise as she noticed Lizzie sitting next to Edwin as well. Tilting her head to one side, she looked at Lizzie in confusion, as if to say: 'I thought you had a date today.'
Lizzie noticed Casey looking at her and shrugged. 'He's absent today.' She mouthed. Casey nodded in understanding. Her older sister put on a sad face and Lizzie did her best not to laugh. Shaking her head, Lizzie tried to tell her sister she was fine.
Moments later, the two left with Sam and Emily on either side. Both Lizzie and Edwin breathed a sigh of relief. "That was close." Edwin told Lizzie lacing their fingers together.
Looking down at their fingers, Lizzie smiled and squeezed his hand. This was going to be harder than they thought. Her salad looked tempting, but she had suddenly lost her appetite. Apparently so did Edwin. "Let's ditch. I'm not that hungry anymore." She said, grinning slyly.
"Right behind ya." Edwin said getting up. Everyone stopped eating and watched the couple leave. Of course, the two noticed, and before they left the cafeteria, they gave everyone a glare that made everyone shudder and go back to eating. The two loved their power. It came in usefulness a lot.
Sighing, Edwin took Lizzie's hand and led her into an empty classroom. Or at least, what they thought was an empty classroom. As he opened the door, Lizzie, Edwin, and two other people gasped. "What the heck?" Edwin exclaimed looking at the two more closely.
A/N: Who are the two people in the classroom? You'll find out next chapter. By the way, the pairings are: Casey/Sam; Derek/Emily; Edwin/Lizzie; and OC/OC. The two original characters will be introduced in a couple of chapters. I seriously need reviews. When I don't get reviews, it makes me feel like you guys don't like my story. And this might turn into a Hannah Montana/High School Musical crossover. Not sure though. It's in my head for now! Next chapter might be posted later today. Please REVIEW!
