New Songs and Possible Crushes
Casey's POV
When the song ended, I looked over at Derek. He had this weird look on his face. Sort of like the one he has when he is thinking about a girl. 'The song probably reminded him of one of his sleazes.', I thought. 'Why does the guy I like have to be such a player?' Wait, why did I just think that? I don't like him, like that anyway. He is my best friend; I have known him for years. I can't possibly have a crush on him. I must be tired. I will just get more sleep on the train and I won't be thinking like this anymore.

Derek's POV
'Man, I can't be thinking like this. Casey is my best friend. I have known her for years. I just need to sleep. I gotta get some more sleep on the train, then I won't think like this anymore. Yeah, I just need some sleep.' I thought. I looked over at Sam; he was twirling his basketball while looking at us. He has that 'I-know-something-you-don't-know' face. He probably likes Casey. 'No, he can't like Casey! She is mine!', I thought. 'Wait, no she is not mine. I gotta stop thinking that.'

Sam's POV
'Dude, Derek has it bad. I wonder how long it will take him to admit it to himself and to Casey? I think Casey likes him too. She has that look she had when she liked Tommy Landry in the sixth grade. Oh this is going to be a VERY interesting trip, very interesting indeed.' I thought while smirking.

Normal POV
The car pulled up to a big building that looked more like a mall than a train station. "Ok everyone! We have exactly one hour until the train leaves. So if you want to go to the bathroom again or look in some of the stores, you can. Just meet back at Gate 12 before 10 o'clock. Got it?", she asked. (I have no idea what a train station is like, so just pretend I am right) Everyone nodded their heads in understanding. "Oh, stay in your groups everyone! And check your luggage to double check you have everything you need so you can get it before we leave!", Mrs. Simons instructed.
Sam, Casey, and Derek got out with the rest of the class and looked in their bags. After carefully checking everything off in their heads, Sam and Derek closed their bags and put them back so they could be loaded onto the train. Derek looked over at Casey, who was frantically looking through her bags.
"What's wrong Princess? Didn't bring enough lip gloss?", Derek asked.
"No, I can't find any of my…um…underwear.", she whispered with a freaky look on her face. "I have to buy some before we leave."
"So, just pick some up.", Derek reasoned, not seeing the big deal.
"It isn't that simple Derek. For one thing you and Sam are with me and I don't think I will find what I wear here."
"How do you know?"
"Because I wear a very exclusive Victoria's Secret size and type ok?" she asked annoyed and embarrassed she was saying this to a boy.
"Oh. Well, why do you wear such an exclusive type anyway?", Derek said looking slightly embarrassed himself.
"Because I can't fit into the smallest size, I have to have the extra small and not every store has it in the type I wear. And I am not telling you what type that is.
"What's the problem?", Sam asked.
"Casey forgot to pack underwear.", Derek whispered. "And she doesn't think they will have exactly what she wears here."
"Der-rick! You weren't supposed to say that!"
"Why? Sam is your friend too."
"Yes, but I don't feel comfortable telling you, why would I feel comfortable with Sam knowing?"
"Yeah D, girls are different than guys, they don't like that stuff known to many people."
"Whatever"
"Casey, Emily said they have a Victoria's Secret here if that helps.", Sam offered.
"Yeah, it does. Thanks Sam.", Casey said while walking into the station.
"I think we are supposed to follow her Sam."
"I know, but I don't really want the image of Casey in that store in my mind. She is like my sister and that is just weird."
"Yeah, but we promised her parents we would watch out for her. And I don't think letting her wander around a train station three hours away from home is keeping our promise." Derek said while running to catch up with Casey, Sam right behind him. They caught up to her right outside of the store.
"Ok, Case, you go get your stuff, and Sam and I will stay right here." Derek said.
"Yeah right! I'm not going in there alone." She said while pulling Derek by the sleeve of his jacket.
"Come on Case, I don't wanna go in there."
"If you come with me it will go faster and you can scope out babes longer."
"Grr, fine. But I am NOT watching you pick out whatever it is you need got it?"
"Duh!"
Derek's POV
'I can't believe Casey dragged me in here.' I thought. 'I don't wanna be in here.' I went looking for Casey about five minutes after we had entered this weird world. I found her by the black lacy stuff. 'Huh, I didn't know Casey wore black. Interesting….No, not interesting. I gotta get out of here.'
"Casey, can we go yet?", I asked
"I am almost done. I just need two more things. And I can't decide between two of these."
"Well, just get both, or just get all pink, you like pink. Anything to get out of here fast."
"Hehe, alright Derek. We can go now. Wait by the exit and I will check out."
"Ok"
A few minutes later we were window shopping, waiting for the time to leave.
"I can't believe it's this weekend." Casey blurted out.
"What is this weekend?", Sam asked.
"The six year anniversary of us meeting and becoming friends.", Casey and I answered.
"Ok, seriously, that is weird. The anniversary thing is cool though, we should have a movie night or something to celebrate."
"Yeah! And we can get some junk food too." I said.
"Ok!" Casey said. "It's a date then." We all laughed at her choice of words.
"Oh! I almost forgot! I need to get an outfit to change into during the trip. I am not wearing the same thing for like three days. Ew." Casey said while walking to a clothing store.
"Ok, I need jeans, a shirt, boots, and socks." She listed
"Case, you can use the fuzzy boots and princess socks you got at Wal-Mart. So all you need is some jeans and a shirt. Cause we don't have that much time left." I reasoned.
"Oh, ok."
She walked over to a rack of short sleeve shirts that had different sayings on them and picked up a pink shirt that said 'you are so annoying'. 'I wonder if she got that cause she thinks I am annoying?' I thought. Then she went to get a pair of light jeans. As she was passing the pajamas, she stopped and looked at a pink tank top that said 'sweetie' on it with matching sweats.
"Are you done yet Case?" I asked.
"Yes, lets go.", she said after she had paid.
We made it to the gate in time for Casey to get her stuff all fixed and traded into the right bags. A few minutes after we got there, we boarded the train that would take us to Chicago, Illinois.

One hour later…on the trainNormal POV
"Hey Derek, do you want to watch a movie with me?", asked Casey.
"I guess, what do you want to watch?
"How about Titanic or How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days?"
"No, how about When A Stranger Calls?"
"No, um, how about Twister?"
"Ok, if we get to watch When A Stranger Calls when it will really scare you, like at the hotel or something."
"Deal."
Roughly two hours later…"I love that movie!" Derek and Casey exclaimed.
"What movie?" Asked Sam.
"Twister.", Derek and Casey said in unison.
"Creepy. Anyway, what hotel are we staying at again?"
"Embassy Suites. Their rooms are so cool.", Casey said.
"Why?" Derek and Sam asked.
"They have two rooms, a living room, kitchen, full bathroom, and a walk-in closet. In the bedrooms, are tvs, vcrs, and the most comfy beds I have ever slept in at a hotel. In the living room, there is a fold-away bed/couch thing, tv, vcr, and awesome balcony. In the kitchen, there is a decent sized fridge, oven, microwave, and all the pots and pans and stuff you need to cook whatever you have in the fridge. The bathroom is pretty decent too." Casey said in one breath.
"Wow" Derek and Sam said in unison.
"How many beds are there?" asked Derek
"One in each room and the couch one." After that statement, something dawned on the trio.
"I call the bedroom!" shouted Casey and Derek in unison, with Sam a few milliseconds later.
"Aw man." Sam said sulking.
"Sorry Sam." Derek and Casey said
"Its cool. I'll be closer to the kitchen if I need a snack at night, so no prob."
"Derek, can I have whichever room doesn't have a window? You know how they scare me."
"No"
"Please"
"No"
"Pretty please" she asked with a puppy dog pout.
"You aren't gonna get me to change my mind."
She kept pouting.
"Its not working." He said, sounding weaker
She pouted more.
"Grr, fine. But we watch When A Stranger Calls in my room."
"Deal" she said exasperated
"Does anyone want to get something to eat?" asked Derek
"No" said Sam
"Yeah" said Casey "Let Mrs. Simons know where we are going."
"Ok, Mrs. Simons?"
"Yes?" she asked.
"Casey and I are going to get some lunch ok"
"Yes, take your cell phones and anything else you could use incase of an emergency."
"Alright" they said.
"How many cars away is the food car anyway?" asked Casey
"Um, two."
"Ok. What do you think we should get?"
"I dunno, probly a burger or something."
"Alright"
Derek and Casey walked to the food car, unaware they were being followed by Andy and Jaime.
