"Seeing Red and Green"
Normal POVWhen the group had their bags checked and loaded on the conveyer belt that will load them onto the train, they all separated into their groups to get something to eat and look around.
"I need coffee.", Casey said while slightly yawning.
"Well, I need meat.", Derek said as his stomach growled.
"They have a Smelly Nelly's, how about we go there?", Sam asked.
"Ok", Derek and Casey said together.
"That's still creepy.", Sam mumbled.

Once they had entered the restaurant, they found a table and began looking at the menus. The waiter came a few minutes later.
"Hi, I'm Josh. What can I get you?", asked the cute waiter. Because the boys were still deciding, Casey looked up, intending to order, but stopped when she saw Josh.
"Um, h-hi. I uh…want a mocha latte with whipped cream and a Caesar salad, dressing on the uh, side please.", she stammered while looking at Josh's green eyes. He in turn, looked at her blue.
"Ok, how about I make that extra whipped cream?", he asked totally flirting.
"Ok", Casey said, flirting back. Just then Derek looked up to see Casey and Josh making flirty faces at each other and wanted to punch Josh, but instead decided to put his arm around Casey to ward off the waiter…it worked.
"Derek, what are you doing?", Casey angrily whispered.
"Keeping that jerk from thinking he has a chance with you.", Derek replied coolly.
"What if he did have a chance with me huh? You aren't my boyfriend, you can't say who I can or can't date got it?", she growled.
"Case, I wasn't trying to make you made, but the guy is what? Three years older than us? Plus, you live in Canada, he lives here in the States, does that sound like a relationship that would work?", Derek questioned.
"That's not the point Derek! You CAN'T choose whom I do or don't date! That is MY business!", Casey said a little louder that she meant to.
"Casey, the guy is a jerk. Who looks for a date at a restaurant while working?", Derek asked.
"You when we worked at my Aunt Fiona's dinner last summer.", Casey deadpanned.
"She has you there, D.", Sam put in.
"At least I don't pick up younger girls."
"No, you pick up older girls!", Casey exclaimed. "You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were jealous."
"Haha! Riiight, like I'd be jealous cause someone wanted to date you. Sorry to burst your bubble Case, but I only even hang out with you cause your smart.", Derek said and immediately regretted it.
"Look Case…", but he was cut off.
"Save it you jerk!", Casey yelled as she ran to the restroom so no one would see her cry.
"That was really harsh, D.", Sam said.
"I know, I didn't mean it, I just didn't want her to know I really was jealous.", Derek thought.
"I knew you liked her!", Sam exclaimed happily.
"What are you talking about?", Derek asked.
"You just said you were jealous."
"No I didn't.", Derek said uneasily.
"Liar, you may not have meant to say it, but you did. I'm gonna go see if Casey is ok. When the waiter gets back, just order me whatever it is you wanna get.", Sam said walking towards the restroom.
Outside the girls' bathroomCasey's POV
"I can't believe Derek said that to me. He is such a jerk! I am so furious I could slap him! I am never speaking to him again!", I thought sobbing.
"Hey Case. Are you alright?", Sam called. I walked to the door and opened it.
"No I am not. He had no right to say or do what he did! Why would he say that to me? That has to be the worst thing he has ever said, and he has said some pretty horrible things.", I sobbed into his shoulder.
"He didn't mean it Case, he was just looking out for you. Derek would kill me if he knew I told you, but I think he really is jealous. You know Derek, he doesn't show emotion very well.", he said, I sort of chuckled at that last part.
"What men do?", I asked. We both laughed.
"He really is sorry Casey, he is ticked at himself for saying what he said.", Sam consoled.
"Good. But until he says it himself, the words not just an action, I'm not talking to him.", I said.
"I don't think that will ever happen.", Sam said slightly joking.
"I don't care, I'm tired of the jerky side of Derek, and I am going to do whatever it takes to get rid of it, at least for the most part.", I said stubbornly. Sam laughed.
"How about we go see if our food is ready?", Sam asked.
"Alright."
When we got back to the table Derek was pretty much done with his burger. So Sam and I sat down and ate quickly. Derek tried to talk to me multiple times, but I ignored him. When we were done with our food, we saw that it was time to meet up with everyone else, so we began walking toward the train. I heard Derek and Sam talking behind me.
"She said she wasn't going to talk to you until you apologized.", Sam said.
"Ok, I'll give her a cookie or something.", Derek said.
"No man, she wants you to say it, not just show it."
"Man, she knows I don't do that. It's not my thing."
"Are you sorry?", Sam asked.
"Of course I am, but I don't articulate that very well if you haven't noticed.", Derek grumbled. I rolled my eyes at that statement.
"Is she worth it to you?", Sam asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Is Casey worth feeling like an idiot?", Sam clarified. I turned around then and saw Derek blush. 'I didn't know Derek could blush.'¸ I thought.
"Yes.", I heard him answer. I couldn't help but smile.
"Then just tell her you are sorry.", Sam urged.
"What if she doesn't believe me?"
"She will if you mean it." I heard Derek catching up to me.
"Casey?", he asked. I looked his way.
"Look, I am really bad at this, but…I'm s-s-so-sor-sorry.", Derek struggled to say.
"Sorry for what?", I asked.
"For being a jerk. I shouldn't have said what I said, but I'm not sorry for the whole Josh thing.", Derek said.
"I forgive you.", I smiled.
"Does that mean you'll talk to me now?"
"Yes. But, just to prove it, I'm gonna ask Emily to site with us. Will you be ok with that?", I asked smirking.
"You're joking right?", Derek asked getting a little wide eyed. "Cause she really freaks me out sometimes."
"I am totally serious, think of it as payback." As I looked away from Derek, I saw our class getting ready to get on the train.
"We were about to think you weren't gonna make it you three.", Mrs. Sims said.
"Sorry, there was a bit of a disagreement.", Sam informed her.
"Its ok, you made it.", said Mrs. Sims. As we began picking up our stuff, I called Emily over. She looked to Jasey and rolled her eyes.
"Yeah Casey?"
"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to sit together for a while. We could talk about stuff that would totally bug Derek and Sam."
"Ha, no thanks.", Emily said.
"What's with the attitude?"
"You know what you did you skank.", Emily said annoyed.
"I really don't know what you are talking about, and why am I skank?", I asked dumbfounded.
"Oh, so you didn't totally make out with Derek and Sam then tell everyone that it wasn't a big deal cause I've done more?", she asked angrily.
"No, I didn't do any of that."
"You're not only a skank, but you're a liar too." Emily said and walked away.
"Emily!", I called. But she just kept walking. Derek called me back over, so I slowly made my way over.
"What's wrong?", Sam asked.
"Yeah, you look like you want to cry.", Derek asked concerned.
"Nothing.", I said quietly.
"Casey, when you say its nothing, its usually something. So just tell us. Did Emily do something?"
"She called me a skank and a liar."
"Why?", Sam asked.
"Jamie and her clones."
"What did they do now?", Derek asked.
"One of them told Emily that I made out with both of you then told everyone it wasn't a big deal because she had done more!", I exclaimed while handing over our tickets.
"I can't believe them! You know what I'm gonna do to those stuck up brats!", Derek said angrily, with Sam right next to him.
"Nothing.", I said.
"What?", they asked in unison.
"You aren't going to do anything to them because I am not letting you get sent home leaving me here by my self."
"We have to do something.", Sam said.
"Then tell Mrs. Sims, let her deal with them, ok?", I said.
"Yeah, ok.", Derek said taking his seat. I put my stuff down and tried to take my seat, but Derek pulled me into his lap and gave me a hug.

A/N: SOOOOOOOO sorry I took so long to update! I started school right in the middle of an update and couldn't find the time to finish. I'm not 100 happy with the way I am ending this chapter but it will have to do. Review and tell me what you think!! I am having a poll! What do you think should happen to cause Derek to tell Casey his feelings, or do you think Casey should be the one to do it? Here are the choices….
1, they have a tickle fight and kiss, therefore revealing their feelings
2, they have their movie night and the movies cause memories and they reveal their feelings
or 3, one of the girls does something so horribly cruel to Casey that Derek, not thinking just defending Casey, blurts it out
and, should they get together right away or should there be some confusion maybe hesitation?
Thank you to those who have put up with my horrible update schedule!! Lololol
