Chapter 2: You'll Get What You Deserve
Derek walked down the halls and towards his locker. He glanced at Casey's locker across from his to see if she was there. Casey appeared from behind the locker door and looked at Derek. She smiled at him and then closed the locker door. Derek smiled back and then looked down on the ground. He closed the locker door and walked towards her. "Hey Casey, how are you?" he said as he leaned against the locker. Casey sighed and then walked under his arm and then turned back to look at him. "I am better now, thanks!" she yelled as she walked farther away from him and then turned back, causing him to run right into Sam.
"Oh, sorry Case. Are you ok?" Sam said putting his hand on her shoulder.
"I'm fine Sam." she replied as she pulled her shoulders back causing his hand to fall and gave him a fake smile. Derek looked at him and had fury in his eyes. He stormed towards Sam and cracked his knuckles. Casey turned back and saw Derek coming and she hastily moved aside and stared at him. Oh God Derek…you were being serious. she thought to herself as she looked at the floor and hid the small smile she had on her face.
Sam began to shake and slowly back away. "Uh…hey D! What's up?" he said stuttering as he continued to back away but Derek only walked faster.
"Oh nothing Sam. Just the usual. You know, relaxing and beating up you!" he yelled as he ran faster and grabbed the collar of Sam's shirt. Derek raised his hand and made it into a fist. "I told you that you would regret it." he said with a smirk as he punched his best friend in the jaw. Sam collapsed to the floor and Derek backed away. Students looked at Derek and then at Sam and then back at Derek as though they had seen the most shocking moment in a soap opera. When a best friend turns on his best friend because of his stepsister. Derek turned to look at the students and he motioned them to go away. In a matter of seconds the students resumed to their normal activities.
Casey's jaw dropped as she walked towards Derek and still had her jaw dropped. "Oh my God, Derek! You almost knocked out your best friend!" she said covering her mouth with her hands. Derek looked at Sam and then at Casey. He shrugged his shoulders and then smiled.
"Well I told you that I would kill him. Obviously I didn't mean it literally. Just gave him a little Derek power." he said with a wink and then a laugh. Sam began to get up slowly and then looked at Derek. He was silent and couldn't think of anything to say. He looked at Casey and then walked away.
Casey looked down and then at Derek. He put his hand on her shoulder and then nudged her. "Come on Case. I just beat up my best friend since I was little. Don't give the silent treatment cause if not I might say I was sorry to him." Casey looked at him and laughed.
"Sorry. Well, class is about to start. I'll see you at home." she said smiling. Derek looked into her eyes and then hugged her. Casey at first didn't return the hug out of shock. She then put her arms around him and then returned the hug. Derek then realized what had happened and he began to pull away.
Derek scratched his head and then laughed. "Figured I would give some love after that. I'm not getting gushy about it so don't get any ideas dork." he said with a wink and he pushed her back playfully. Casey smiled and nodded her head. She head down one way of the hall and Derek the other. He put both of his hands on his head and grunted. What came over me! Damn it…I am going crazy. Derek thought to himself as he turned a corner and entered his class.
Casey had turned a corner of the hall and ran into Emily. "Oh my God Casey! I heard about the fight!" she said as she looked at Casey with wide eyes. "Did Derek knock Sam to the floor?" he asked as she looked at her with dreamy eyes as though she was looking at Derek. Casey laughed and then nodded her head with a surprised expression.
"I couldn't believe it myself really…I mean he told me yesterday that he was going to do something about it but I just figured he was going to tell him off. But punching him that hard? Didn't even cross my mind!" she said with a small laugh and then both of them entered their classroom.

At the house, Lizzie and Edwin sat down on the couch and watched the television. Edwin looked at Lizzie and then smiled. "You know Lizzie, I don't hear any screaming." he said with a confused look as he glanced at the stairs and then back at Lizzie. She nodded and then got up from the couch and grabbed Edwin. Both of them quietly walked up the stairs. Edwin pointed at her and then at Casey's room and then himself and then at Derek's room. Lizzie nodded her head again and crawled towards Casey's room to hear if something was coming from inside.
Casey laughed and then fell on her bed. "It was crazy Em. I walked passed Sam before I left the school and he just stared at me with an ice pack on his jaw!" she said with a small laugh and then sighed. "Hey Em, can I call you later? I need to think about stuff." Casey said and clicked the end button after saying goodbye. Her hand dropped the phone beside her and she stared at the ceiling.
Derek stared at his computer screen and held the phone beside his ear. "I couldn't believe I did either! I mean…I knew I was going to do it but…that hard? I don't know…I guess I just got a litte crazy." he said clicking on the mouse and then rested his forehead on his palm. "I can't tell you. Just know that it was for a good reason." he said as he looked at the door and then got up from his seat. "I'll call you later ok?" he said as he ended the conversation and walked towards the door.
Edwin and Lizzie looked at each other with frightened looks and they both ran into the bathroom. Once they closed the door they put their backs to the door and breathed heavily. "That was a close one!" Lizzie said, trying to regain her breath. Edwin nodded his head and fell to the ground putting his ear to the door.
"Casey, can I come in?" Derek asked as he had knocked on the door before. Casey jumped out of the bed and swung the door open with a smile on her face. "Why are you smiling?" he asked with a raised eyebrow as he walked inside and sat down on her bed. Casey closed the door and then shook her head.
"Um…sorry. So what's up?" she said as she sat down next to him. She looked at Derek and then at the wall in front of them. Casey felt awkward inside. She felt nervous.
Derek looked at Casey and then took a deep breath. "I have…something to tell you."
