Wow. I was like really spaced out yesterday when I wrote that last chapter. "Tomorrow was Tuesday and today is Monday." ha I am so weird. I guess I was just typing like type for fun weird. That doesn't make sense.

I so seriously had a two hour delay today and I wrote this in the two hours I had. (I might of taken a few breaks)

Now…I don't own Life with Derek.

Chapter Three- Will you be my date?

Throughout first and second period, Casey kept asking random guys if they had a date for the prom. Just like Frank, they all said no before she even finished her question. She didn't understand why everybody was saying no to her. She kept asking herself if she was ugly or if she gained some pounds over the weekend or if she had a pimple or something on her face. Every time there was a break in between classes she had to go to the bathroom to check her face to make sure nothing was on it.

Derek couldn't help but laugh at all of Casey's attempts of asking out guys. Weirdly enough, Derek was in a lot of Casey's classes. He just wasn't in fourth period German with her. Derek was taking French.

Casey looked over at Emily during the break between second period class and third period class. "Am I ugly?" she asked Emily once again. This was like her fifteenth time asking her in thirty minutes.

Emily sighed and said, "No, Casey. You're not ugly."

"Then why won't anybody go to the Prom with me?" she asked, confused. Either her best friend, Emily wasn't telling the truth or Derek did something so that none of the guys would say yes.

"Casey, they just probably have had a date to go already. You're just too late for asking now."

Casey groaned. If all the guys already have a date for the Prom, then how will Derek get a date for the prom?

The bell rung for third period class. Casey hurriedly went into Math and sat in her assigned seat. Yes, the only class that had assigned seats was Math class and coincidently she sat next to two guys; Derek and Sam. Sam on the right of her and Derek on the left. They were all in the front row. Mrs. Lees, the Math teacher, liked having them up front since Derek and Sam where friends and would always interrupt their class with a funny and Casey made sure that they were paying attention is class.

Casey was one of the first people in the Math class and she sat on the seat she was assigned for. "Hey, Case?" Casey heard Sam say. She turned around to face Sam and waved shyly at her ex-boyfriend, but now best friends. "I got to ask you something." Sam was going to ask this tomorrow, but he couldn't wait.

But, before Sam could say anything else, Derek covered his mouth. "What Sam was trying to say was that you're ugly and…" Casey frowned. Derek seeing her frown turned all guilty and changed what he really was going to say. "Just kidding, Case! You're the best step-sister I ever had."

Casey looked at Derek with an eyebrow up. Was Derek insane? Did he forget that he was talking to Casey?

"Sure…" Casey said and sat down as Mrs. Lees came in. Whenever the teacher came in you had to be quiet. They were always outside checking the halls, then they come inside to teach.

Derek and Sam sat down in their seats and watched Mrs. Lees dirty blonde hair bounce as she walked. (She had her hair in curls today.) "So, Class. Like I said today, we are just doing a review game the whole day. You will be assigned three other partners to play the review game." Mrs. Lees smiled as she heard all the moans from her class. She went to her desk and picked up a yellow writing pad to read off the groups. "Dana, Rebecca, Brian, Steve. Group One. You guys sit over there." She pointed to a spot in the corner. "Group two will be sitting over there." Mrs. Lees pointed to a place on the other side of the room in the corner where group one was sitting. "Danny, Frank, Gina, and Kayla. Group Three, there's five groups by the way, is LeAnn, Richard, Emma, and Robert. You guys will be sitting over there." Mrs. Lees pointed to a spot in the left front corner of the room. "Group Four is Natalie, Francesca, Greg, and John. You will be sitting in the corner over here." Mrs. Lees pointed to a spot in the right front corner of the room opposite of Group three. "Last, but not least," (a/n: why does everyone say that?) "Group Five. Casey, Derek, Frank, and Sam." Casey's eyes widened. She was the only girl in that group! "Sorry, Casey. You were the only girl left."

Casey nodded. "It's okay."

"Everybody, get into your groups and start. I already put the game boards in the spots. That reminds me, Group Five, you'll be sitting in the middle of the room." Group Five nodded and everybody moved to their group spots.

They did their math problems, which were easy since they were just reviewing stuff they all learned in seventh grade like find the degrees missing in the triangle or what's the Addition Opposite Property? Simple. And when they had five minutes left in their class and Group Five's game was done, they all started talking.

"So, Case… Find any dates yet?" Derek asked to mock her. He already knew that Casey didn't find a date yet and it was so funny to him.

This caused Frank to blush. Frank was already asked out by Casey to the Prom, but he said no. How rude, right? But, you see, Frank has been watching this show and it was called Two different people and the director got two parents to act like they were married for one whole year. If all went well in the TV show, they got paid. Weird thing is that the town that Casey and Derek were living in didn't get the station on their TV's but Frank watched it at his uncle's house last weekend. The show was about Casey and Derek. Casey's mom supposedly married George, Derek's dad, and now they're living under one roof in Frank's town. Frank met the director when the director found out he watched it. Derek, a popular messy lying jock teenager and Casey, a clean organized, preppy teenager were stuck under one roof with their parents and the director says that since so maybe people love Derek and Casey and think they should become a couple at the end of the show when it ends, he wants Derek and Casey to fall in love, and what a better way than to fall in love right before a prom?

Frank had to keep quiet about it though or else he would ruin it for a bunch of people.

"No. But that's only because most of them had dates already, like Frank." Casey pointed out.

Derek laughed. He knew that Frank didn't have a date yet. "Sure, Case. Sure."

Like it? Oh my gosh, wasn't that a turn point? I promise you that the next chapter isn't the last chapter. There will probably be about 12 or maybe some less chapters in it. I might even make a -wait for it- SEQUEL! If I want to, but first I need to finish this story before I start that. .
