DISCLAIMER

Life With Derek belongs to Disney. Supernatural belongs to the WB, which will soon be the CW. I only own the siren and I made up the side effects of his powers.

As the morning went on, the girls at Westman High continued to fall for the mysterious new boy, whom Casey found out was named Jack Saunders. Even Casey's friend Emily Davids wasn't immune.

"Jack is sooooo cute," she sighed. Casey frowned. Emily was right. He was. But there was something about him that she couldn't put her finger on. Something she didn't like.

"Oh, I don't know. I guess he's kinda good-lookin'," she said doubtfully.

"Kinda? He's great," Emily sighed again.

"What about Derek?"

"Derek has nothing on Jack," Emily stated. Casey's frowned deepened. Okay, that was it. Now she was sure there was something wrong with Jack. Ever since they had met and had become friends, Emily had done nothing but rave about and fawn all over Derek. And now that Jack had arrived, her feelings had just switched? That kind of thing just didn't happen. When it came time for lunch, Casey walked over to Derek's table.

"Can I help you?" he asked arrogantly.

"We need to talk---now," she told him.

"What? You finally realized you can't resist me?" he smirked. He jumped when she slammed a hand on the table.

"Listen you little twit. This is business. So, unless you wanna lose your status as the most popular boy at Westman High, you'll come with me and we'll talk shop," she growled. With a sigh and a roll of his eyes, Derek stood up and followed Casey to the halls.

"What's the matter, Casey? Too much pent up energy?" Derek asked.

"There's something very wrong about the new boy in school," Casey stated.

"Yeah, I know. He didn't even introduce himself to me," Derek agreed.

"I'm serious, Derek," Casey snapped.

"So am I," Derek responded.

"Oh, come on, Derek. Some mysterious new kid shows up at school, and suddenly, all the girls are crazy over him?" Casey queried.

"Yeah, okay. It's a little weird, I'll grant ya that," Derek shrugged.

"'A little weird'?" Casey repeated. "Derek, think! What girl here has the biggest crush on you?" she continued.

"Emily," Derek shrugged again.

"Yeah. Exactly. Now suddenly this guy Jake shows up and she's totally over you?" Casey asked.

"I was right. You do find me irristible," Derek leered. Casey blew out an annoyed breath.

"Here's a thought: contemplate getting over yourself for one little second," she snapped. She wasn't sure how to explain what she was feeling. Every time she came near Jack, her ability to think became shot and her head would began to ache. It was like something was trying to take control of her. "There's something wrong here. There's something about Jack that I don't like and I don't trust," she continued.

"What do you mean?" Derek asked, becoming serious. Ever since her cousins had arrived, he had learned that she was well-taught in all things supernatural.

"I think he's some kind of creature, but I'm not sure," Casey whispered.

"How can you get sure?" Derek wondered softly.

"I'll put a call into Sam and Dean on the next break," Casey responded. Just then, the bell rang.

"Come on. We better go," she said. With that, the two walked back to their classes.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Yes, Casey caught on faster than I originally planned, but got an idea for a twist.
