"Derek Venturi! Put me down!" my angel screamed as I carried her to the ocean after stealing her from her book.
"Not until you jump the waves with me like when we were kids, Casey McDonald." I answered back.
"Fine." She pouted, her bottom lip sticking out, and her arms crossed.
"Well, with that attitude, young lady, you are definitely going in the water!"
"What! No! Derek. Please!" she pleaded.
"Sorry, Case." I said as I jumped in the water, with her in my arms.
"Derek! Now look at me! You got me all wet!"
"I think that was the whole idea, Case." Sam told her.
"Yeah, come on, Casey have a little fun. It's the last week of school." Emily pleaded.
"Ok, fine. But, Derek Venturi if the whole idea was just to get me all wet in a white outfit, then you are the biggest pig I know."
"Yeah, well, what can I say? You shouldn't have worn that go to the beach if you knew that I would be here also."
"Ugh!" she huffed as she stalked away from the group.
"Case!" I chased after her.
"What?"
"I was kidding. It was a joke." I told her.
"Yeah, right. What am I? One of those whores you've been with before?"
"What!"
"You heard me."
"Case, you're my best friend. I've known you my whole life. I would never treat you life that."
"Psh. Whatever."
"No, not whatever, Casey. I love you."
"What?" she whispered.
"N-nothing." I stuttered.
"Did you just tell me you love me?"
"No!" I answered fast.
"Yes you did!"
"No, I didn't."
"Yes, you did."
"No, I…."
She kissed me.
She, Casey McDonald, the girl of my dreams, my best friend since before we were born just kissed me.
"I love you, too, Derek Venturi."
And that was the beginning of our newfound relationship.
