The next day Casey woke up at six. She ran to the bathroom and showered, then pulled on jeans and a T-shirt. As she opened the door she bumped into Derek. "Morning, Case." he said, smiling. "D-Derek." Casey replied, trying to decide if she could slip past him into the hall or not. "we need to talk." he said, leaning against the door frame and blocking her escape route. "What about?" Casey asked him, looking away. She knew what he wanted to talk about, but really wasn't in the mood. "Casey, we kissed." Derek hissed quietly, so nobody would hear. "No, Derek. You kissed me." Casey said, pushing past him.
"Casey!" Derek hollered later at school. She slammed her locker door and turned away. Casey's best friend Emily looked at Casey like she knew she was hiding something, but Emily looked at Derek like he was a god, there was no way Casey could tell her he had kissed her. "Casey!" Derek called again, blocking her path so she had to talk to him. "What do you want, Derek?" she asked rudely. "Hey, just wanted to talk. I can see you aren't in the mood." he said, raising his hands in surrender and walking away. "by the way, Casey, nice lip gloss." he whispered to her as he walked away. Emily turned to her and stared. "what was that about?" she asked Casey. "What was what about?" Casey asked, starting to walk away toward the lunch table. "the comment about lip gloss. You two didn't-" "No, Emily, we did not. I'm sure he was mocking me or something, he probably found some of my old makeup and thought it was funny I had strawberry scented sparkly lip gloss." she lied, looking away. Emily knew Casey was lying to her, but she didn't say anything. She could find out on her own
