"Hey, Casey. What's up?" Emily asked her after school the next day. "Nothing." Casey sighed. She hated lying to Emily, but she couldn't tell her. She noticed Derek walking their way, and she veered Emily the opposite direction. "Hey, can I come over later?" Casey asked, she didn't want to have to dodge Derek in their own home again. "No, Dimmy has a dentist appointment, and I have to go with." Emily sighed.
"Okay, well, I have to go, bye!" Casey said quickly, before darting out the door.


"Ready?" Edwin asked into the walkie-talkie. "Edwin, shh! Casey's almost home!" Lizzie hissed back. "Sorry." Edwin replied. Just then Casey walked in the door. "Hey, Casey? Can you help me with my homework?" Lizzie asked, following her into her room. "Sure, where are your books?" Casey asked her sister, sitting down on the bed. "Oh, I don't have the right ones. I'll get them from the library and we can study at Smelly Nellie's!" Lizzie said quickly running out of the room. "Edwin, Casey's in. Get Derek to come at 6!" Lizzie said to the walkie-talkie. "got it."

"Lizzie!" Casey shouted to her sister from the hall. "Yeah?" Lizzie asked, coming out into the hall. "The library's closed." Casey said, standing in her door frame. "So?" Lizzie asked calmly. "What are you up to?" she asked her sister. "Can I come in?" Lizzie asked, then waited for Casey to move aside before walking in.

"So?" Casey asked as Lizzie sat down. "So what?" "So why are you tricking me into going to Smelly Nellie's?" Casey asked, sitting down next to her sister. "You'd tell me if you, like, went out with someone, right?" Lizzie asked slowly, looking down at her lap. "Of course, what does that have to do with anything?" Casey asked her. "What about if you, kissed someone?" Lizzie asked her quietly, looking up. "Oh." Casey said, looking away from her. "So it's true?" Lizzie asked her quickly. "No, Lizzie, I did not kiss him." Casey said, looking at her sister. "Yes you did! I heard you! you kissed back!" Lizzie half-shouted to her sister. "No, I didn't, Liz, I just didn't move, I was to surprised." Casey half-lied. She honestly didn't know if she had kissed back or not, she could barely think at the time. "Knock knock." Derek said, startling them both. "What do you want, Derek?" Casey asked rudely. "to talk to you." Derek said, before shooing Lizzie out of the room. "Fine. Talk." Casey said, shooting him a look of annoyance. "I said talk to you, not at you. Why are you telling everyone I kissed you?" he asked her, closing the door, then sitting down where Lizzie had been sitting. "Because it's true." Casey said rudely, looking away. "Look, Case, I don't know why I kissed you, call it insanity, just don't lie. I didn't kiss you, we kissed." Derek said. "I know." Casey whispered, looking back at him. She lent in this time, and they shared a second kiss, which only broke when Casey heard a gasp. She looked over to see Emily standing in the doorway. "Emily's here." Lizzie said weakly, running up.
