Chapter 2
(Casey's Point of View)
"Derek, get in here now!" I shouted. Derek walked in with a bored look on his face. "What?" he looked down and saw the laundry. I glared at him. "Oh yeah, do the laundry I have a dance to go to" he said. "Oh really? Because did it ever occur to you that I'm going to the dance too?!" I shrieked. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down. I didn't know someone would ever ask you to go", he said while he laughed. "Actually to tell you the truth I'm going with a friend" I said confidently. "Who, Emily?" he asked. "Maybe…okay yes" I said sighing. "But I'm still not doing laundry, I have to get ready" I stated. "Fine, I'll make Ed do it" he smirked. "I don't care who does it, but I'm not…so please get out while I get ready" I said as I shooed him out with my hands.
Almost perfect, I thought while applying lip gloss. I was wearing dark skinny jeans and a grey, fleece, long sleeved shirt accessorized with black heels and a black scarf. I had curled my hair and bumped the bangs along with cute silver studs in my ears. I wore silver-grey eye shadow, mascara and a thin layer of liner. I look awesome! I thought. I had just bought this outfit last weekend and it looked great. I stood up and went downstairs. "Whoa Casey, cute outfit…is it new?" Lizzie said. "Thanks! Yeah I bought it last weekend". Then the doorbell rang. "Pizza's here" Edwin said as he opened the front door. I walked into the kitchen and got out some plates and glasses. "Liz help me set the table".
When everything was ready to go we all sat down to eat. "Casey thanks so much for ordering the pizza" George said as he sat down. "Oh well, while I got ready Ed and Liz got things settled" I said taking a bite of my cheese pizza. "Nora called, she wanted to make sure that the laundry was done, because she's coming home early morning tomorrow to come get her suit for an important meeting. It's in the hamper so you will need to make sure it gets washed before she comes home" he said warning us. "Don't worry dad, I got Ed on it" Derek said. "Hey! I'm not doing laundry! I'm going to a going to a roller-skating party" Edwin said. "Yeah, and I'm going too" Lizzie said. "Where am I going?" Marty asked. "You're staying here with your daddy" George said.
I quickly finished eating and helped put the dishes in the dishwasher. A half and hour later Derek cam downstairs looking decent than the way he looked at school. I turned for the kitchen to finish cleaning up. "Bye dad" Derek said. "Have fun with Sally" George said while flipping through channels on the television. I walked to the living room a while later and sat down. Marty came downstairs with a big pile of stuffed animals and blankets. "Daddy and I are gonna watch a movie" she said. "Aww, that'll be fun" I said in a childish voice. I helped Marty with the blankets and animals to get it set up 'just perfect' for her. We sat down and started the movie 'Finding Nemo'.
Then the doorbell rang. I glanced at my watch, it read 7:47 p.m. I wonder what Emily is doing here, I thought as I opened the door. I was meeting her at the dance at eight. "What are you doing? I waited forty minutes at the dance for you! Are you not going or what?" Emily shrieked. "Forty minutes?" I asked confused. "Yes! The dance starts at seven!" she said. I stood there and turned around and bellowed up the stairs, "Derek!!" "Derek already left, he said he was going to the dance with Sally" said George.
