Hey, I'm updating again. I'll try to get chapters posted sooner now that I'm gonna be home until school starts, Then I'll try to update on the weekends. Okay, so here's chapter 12.
Casey awoke promptly at 5:30 AM on Friday morning. She sat up and yawned. It's too early for everyone else to be up so I'll have a little me time, She thought. She showered, dressed and was walking downstairs to go eat breakfast when she walked past Derek's room. She knocked gently.
"What do you want, Casey?" Derk asked
"I came to check on you, to see how you were holding up." Casey answered
"At 6:15 in the morning?" Derek questioned
"Well, you didn't have to say anything when I knocked and I would've went away. But you didn't." Casey said
He opened the door and stood in the doorway with his arms crossed. Casey took a step back.
"So, why don't you just go away. Now."Derek said
"Because you didn't tell me if you were okay or not." Casey said
"I'm fine, okay."Derek said
"You sure?" Casey asked
"Positive." Derk replied
"I don't like it when you lie to me so, until you start telling me the truth about whats bothering you, I'll keep asking." Casey said
"Bye Casey." Derek said
He shut his door.
"God, I don't even know why I thought I liked him." Casey mumbled to herself
She continued on her way to the kitchen and poured herself some cereal. A little while later, Derek came down the stairs, looking normal. He ate some of his cereal while sitting across from Casey. Her eyes were burning a hole in his head and he knew it, but he didn't look up.
"Why are you staring at me?" Derek asked, still not looking up
"Huh? Oh, umm, I was not looking at you…I was, uhh, thinking." Casey said
"Uh-huh, if you say so." Derek said
"You don't believe me?" Casey asked
"Uhhh, no." Derek said
"So, I see that your gonna come to school today." Casey said
"Yep." Derek nodded
They went to school and when they came home, Nora told all of the children that instead of Derk and Casey baby-sitting on Sunday, they were going to be staying at George's mother's house for the weekend.
Casey knew that Derek's grandma would try to get them to admit their feelings for one another and she didn't want to just yet. Derek knew that his grandma was very fond of Casey and would be very happy if he and Casey turned out to like each other. This weekend was gonna be surprising.
And there you have it people. The next chapter is still a work in progress so it should be up by Sunday. Well, you know what to do, press the button and review. Hey that rhymed…well it wasn't supposed to. Anywho, it's 2:20 in the morning and I should really be getting to bed. Nighty night…
Laterz,
