Ch.6-You Are

When Casey and Daniel got home Daniel told her that Emily and him were going out that night and that she should tell Emily about Derek. In the end Casey agreed to double with Daniel and Emily. Derek who had wanted to have there relationship out in the open happily agreed, even if it was just Emily and later that night Lizzie and Edwin. Emily was going to meet Daniel at the movies and the three teens had no problem being able to go to the movies. This was mostly because Nora and George were just shocked and thrilled that Derek, Casey, and Daniel were all getting along.

As Casey, Derek, and Daniel were approaching Emily Casey got really nervous. Derek instinctively placed his arm around Casey and she calmed down a bit. When Emily saw the three though she became very confused. " Hey you guys. Ah..Casey Derk what are you guys doing here?"

"Well…Em, me and Derek are um…we're doubling with you and Daniel." Casey said uneasily. At first Emily was confused and then realization hit her.

"You are…Oh my god! You and Derek! That's why you haven't been around during lunch!"

"Em, shhh. Only you and Daniel know." Casey now had to ask the question she had been dreading this whole time. "Are you upset?"

"Casey I'm your best friend. I mean it's a little weird since it's you and Derek." Emily saw the look of fear in Casey's face so she quickly added. "I mean because you guys always seem to hate each other." At that comment Derek and Casey both began to laugh that their little charade seems to work. " But of coarse I'm ok with it." Then Emily raised an eyebrow and added. "But you do know that if you want to keep your relationship a secret Derek might want to take his arm off of you, cause that might give it away."

Then Daniel came back, which of coarse with Derek and Casey's secret being revealed nobody noticed leaving. "Ok well I got the movie tickets." Nobody really seemed to care about the movie till he added. "And you guys do realize that in the theater you can do what ever you want since no one will see you." Emily smirked at her boyfriends comment, while Derek snatched two of the tickets away from Daniel and hurried off with Casey into the theater.

The movies had been a lot of fun. Niether couple had actually watched the movie. Afterwards they had gone out to eat at a new restaurant. The girls kept sharing things about their relationships, while the guys tried to keep them quiet by kissing them. Best of all Derek and Daniel seemed to be getting along due to the fact that they each had their girlfriend with them and didn't have to be jealous. It wasn't till around eleven that Everyone got home. Casey and Derek were just going to go to Casey's room, but stopped as they noticed that Lizzie's light was on.

"Should we talk to them now" Casey asked.

"How do you know Edwin is in there?"

"My sister would never stay up this late if she had a soccer match the next morning."

"Well then I guess we should." Derek said as he began to open Lizzie's door. What they saw shocked both of them. There on Lizzie's bed were Lizzie and Edwin in a full on make out. It wasn't till Derek closed the door that the younger teens realized they had company. Edwin quickly jumped off of Lizzie while Lizzie tried to straighten out her shirt.

"Ah um ah…what are you guys… ah …doing here?" Lizzie said nervously and out of breath.

"Well…uh we came to talk to you guys." Casey said feeling a little ackward after just seeing her little sister making out with Edwin.

" Ok well now that we know for sure that you guys are together you should probably know that me and Casey are together." Derek said quickly getting to the point.

"You are together! You and Casey!" Edwin half yelled.

"How long?' Lizzie said surprised.

"Six month's next Friday, Liz." Casey was now smiling at the thought. "How bout you guys."

"Oh well we've only been together for around two months."

"Oh that's great Liz." Both girls were now hugging. Derek and Edwin were just staring at each other not believing what they had just seen or heard. After a while though Edwin finally asked the question that had been troubling both relationships from the start.

"So what do we do? Do we tell dad and Nora or do we keep our relationships a secret."

Everyone was silent for a while till Casey spoke up. "Look I would love it if mom knew and she approved…but I don't think she would." Casey looked around and saw the faces become saddened. " George might approve but my mom…I just don't know. I think it would be better if we didn't tell anybody else for now."

"Casey's right. As much as I don't want to agree mom probably won't agree."

" Well since I guess that's settled we should probably go to bed."

"Hey wait a minute. Derek have you been sleeping in Casey's room?" Edwin was smirking at his reaization.

"Yeah, but you still have to leave Lizzie's room." Derek said smirking back.

"Hey that's not fair…"

"Edwin, my sister has a game tomorrow morning and you two are way to young anyways." Edwin knew he couldn't win against both Derek and Casey so reluctantly kissed Lizzie and left her room. As he left though Lizzie, Casey, and Derek could here.

"Geeze I liked it better when they were arguing against each other!"
