Derek...
I don't really know how I fell into this. One day I was just skipping P.E like I normally do then the next I'm hitting on some ice queen for 75 bucks. This was stupid, no, beyond stupid! All I knew was that this "Casey" girl had a younger sister named Lizzie who couldn't date until her sister did. Then in comes pretty boy Andrew offering to pay me to take out Casey. Problem is, Casey is frigid. Talking to her for only a few minutes infurated me! How could someone so... beautiful be such a bitch? Casey knew how, which was going to make this difficult, especially when I knew nothing about her.
I need a beer after all this mess, so I headed down to a small bar close to my house. It's typically a time where I can be alone and not have to worry about crap like this. But I didn't get to do that today...
"Derek?" asked a meek little voice from behind me. I turned and looked at two guys who were looking at me with fear in their eyes.
"Can I help you?" I asked obviously annoyed by them.
"Well...I'm, I'm Teddy and this is my friend Edwin..." the nerdier looking one stammered. "...and, uh..."
"We know what you're doing, with Casey McDonald" interrupted the skinnier one. "And we want in."
I chuckled "Look, I'm only doing this for the money, Andrew can do what he wants with the girl."
I could see Edwin didn't like that. "Listen Derek, the thing is, Edwin and I set this whole thing up so that he" Teddy pointed at Edwin "can get the girl. Andrew is just a pawn."
I looked at them. Wondering why on earth this chick was on the top of every guy's list? She was pretty, but not enough to sit and drool over. But whatever, if I was getting paid to take out some girl fine.
"So you two are going to help me tame the wild beast?" I asked
"Absolutly, we'll do some research, we'll find out what she likes." said Teddy "We're your guys!" he put his arm around Edwin and pulled him in.
"And he means that in a strickly, non prison kind of way." Edwin was afraid of me, I could tell, most people were afraid of me. Good.
I gulped down the rest of my beer and looked at them "I'll think about it."
"There's a party Friday, it's the perfect opportunity."
"Perfect opportunity for what?" I asked
"For you to take out Casey."
I rolled my eyes "I don't think Casey is the kind of girl to go to parties."
"She might if she had the perfect date." he nudged my shoulder and I looked at him. He seemed to shy away after that. "Like I said, I'll think about it."
Teddy nodded his head "Nice talking to you Derek."
I lit a cigarrette and puffed smoke in his face. "Uh huh." then I turned to play a game of pool, trying to get back in my carefree zone I had been in earlier.
