Hi. I'm new at this and am not that good an author. Reviews and criticism welcome.
Emily's, Sam's and Ralph's Relization
Casey's POV
It all started three days ago, when Emily approached me in the hallway at school. I was in a very bad mood seeing as I had just been in a HUGE fight with my step-brother Derek.
'Casey, can I talk to you for a minute,' Emily asked.
'Sure Em. What's up?', I asked.
Emily looked nervous as she paused thinking of the right words to say.
'Please don't get mad at me for asking this, but, how exactly do you feel about Derek?'
This question confused me. What did she mean, how did I feel about Derek. I hated him, at least I think I did.
'What do you mean?' I asked, trying to understand what she was saying. She looked down at her hands and started talking to her feet.
'What I mean is, do you love him?' She said the last part so fast I didn't quite hear her. I thought she had said do you love him, but that couldn't be it.
'Sorry Em, didn't quite catch that.'
'I said, do you love Derek?'
I stared at her with my mouth wide open. The bell signalling my te next period snapped me out of my reverie. 'Uh, I'll talk to you later Em,' and I ran to the guidance counsellors office for my appointment, but turning the corner I...
Derek's POV
'I can't wait for this day to end,' I said to my friends Sam and Ralph, as I closed my locker and faced them. Sam was staring anywhere but at me, while Ralph looked like he was trying to remember something.
'Dudes, what's up,' I asked them.
'Oh nothing, just wanted to ask you something,' replied Sam, still not looking at me. I waited a minute to see if he would say anything,and when he didn't, I snapped my fingers in front of Ralphs face.
'Yo, Ralph. Any idea what Sam want's to ask me?'
He looked at me then at Sam. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Sam shake his head and mouth the words let me.
Ralph looked back at me and said, 'Sorry man. No idea.'
Finally Sam spoke up.' Derek, do you like Casey?' I stared at him, and seeing my disbelief, he repeated his question. 'Do you like Case--' The rest of his question was drowned out by the sound of the bell.
'Gotta get to class, don't want to be late,' I said nervously, and for the first time since I started high school, I actually wanted to get to class. I ran off toward my 4th period English class, and as I turned the corner I...
Nobodies POV
Casey and Derek both turned the corner at the same time. They ran into eachother, scattering their text-books everywhere.
'I am so sorry, I didn't...' Casey began apoligizing, but cut off when she looked up at the person she had collided into.
Hearing Casey's voice, Derek looked up startled. They stared into each others eyes, but were interrupted by the sound of the door opening. Paul Greeby, the schools guidance counsellor, was looking down at them. Casey stood up and started mumbling something about running into Derek on her way to her appointment.
Derek started gathering his and Casey's books in his arms. When he finished he stood up and handed Casey hers. He looked at Pual, said good-bye and walked away, stunned at the way his heart had started fluttering when he had stared into Casey's blue eyes. Little did he know, Casey was thinking the same thing. She had been mesmerized in his brown eyes, and never would have looked away if it weren't for Paul.
