Casey POV

I cleared my throat and sighed threw my nose. Stupid tango class, stupid website, stupid dream. Okay I need to get over myself. I can just go talk to Derek of course not about the dream. Just talk. "I'll be back Julie," I whisper. She feel asleep again. Maybe she needs her battery changed because she that's all she seems to do. I change into that sexy red top (see I am NOT predictable) and a black skirt. Just to feel good. Okay so Derek will look at me but so what. Don't judge me obviously I have caught a cold and its making me think that i like Derek. I turned in the mirror so I could see myself in all angles. Putting on some lip gloss I felt happy with myself.

"Hey Case," Derek said walking into my room. I had my back to him looking in the mirror. I could see him but he couldn't see me. "Hey Derek. What to do you think of this outfit," I asked spinning around. Derek looked at me surprised. "Where did you get that shirt?" "The same time I got the other pink shirt I wore in gym and Amy said it looks skanky so I am guessing she would say the same about this one," I looked down at myself. "Think I should wear it for the tango?" "The tango," he choked out. I smiled the perfect reaction I wanted.

Derek POV

I tried to hide the fear in my voice but it was hard. Casey looked sexy and more sexy. Why was she smiling? I regain my coolness and lean back and shrug. "Wear whatever you want not that its going to matter. No matter what you wear it won't hide your ugly." I smirk as Casey gets all annoyed. "DE-REK!" "Shh. You might wake Julie up," I look at the sleeping doll. "Derek if your going to to insult me in my room you might as well leave." I sat there without saying anything. What should I say now? Something nice or something mean? "Whatever Princess. I have to call Hannah and Lexi about the dance anyway," I get up and stretch. For a second I see disappointment in her eyes and I go into my room. I do call Hannah and Lexi letting them know I will make it to the dance. "Dairy I can't wait to go to the dance with you. Your so awesome. Oh no! Hold on," pause, "Yeah well my brother sucks. He has to use the phone. I'll call you later. Byeee," Hannah giggles and i hear a click.

I switch over to my cell phone laying on my bed. "Hey Lexi. I can make it no worries." "Good! But how are you going to find me?" I look out the window and smirk thinking of the perfect thing to say. "I'll just look for the most beautiful girl there." "Aww. That is so sweet. I have to go right now though. My mom made dinner." "Okay," I sigh. "Don't worry I will call you back. Bye!" She hangs up and I spin around almost falling out of my chair seeing Casey standing there.

Casey POV

I don't know why but some force made me walk into Derek's room. With no idea what I was going to do or say I stood in his doorway listening to him talk to Lexi. Her voice was so loud I could hear her from where I was. Derek couldn't see me since he was looking out the window so I waited and listened. "How are you going to find me," her voice asks. "I'll just look for the most beautiful girl there," Derek says. I bet he is smirking. She says something else and i just lean on the wall. Good she has to go. He hangs up and turns around almost falling when he sees me. I giggle and stand up straight. "Casey! How long were you standing there?" "Why were you talking about me?" "No." "I just listened to you talk to your bimbo girlfriend." "She isn't a bimbo!" "Uh huh. She doesn't wear revealing outfits, giggles uncontrollably, and walk like a slut. No shes just like me."

Derek laughs. "Your sounding more like me everyday." I scoff and cross my arms across my chest. "That is not a compliment! Its offensive. WHo would want to be like you?" "Who doesn't? And why are you in here?" I look around like as if first noticing I was in his room. "I am not sure," I bit my lip. "You are such a space case." I roll my eyes. "I'm going out to eat," I annouce. "Where?" "I called Noel and we are going to go eat somewhere suprising. I think I am going to wear this." "And your going to leave me alone with the baby," he sounds annoyed. "Well yeah. But you have George downstairs, and Nora outside doing some gardening if you need help. And you call me too. But only as the last resort." Derek sighs. "I won't be long." "Your not wearing that." I raise my eye brow suprised. "Why not?" "You. Look like a bimbo. Your hair is a mess, and take that make up off your face. It doesn't make you look any better."

I curl my hands into fist. "Shut up Venturi. I will wear what I want when I want where i want. Your not my dad, my mom, and certainly not my boyfriend." "I never said i was," he looks scared. "I know but your acting like a jealous, don't look at my girlfriend, controlling one," I storm out of his room. How dare he EVER call ME a bimbo!

Derek POV

Casey is going crazy. I don't do anything when I hear the doors slam, the kicks, and shouts of 'mean' words. I just smile knowing I did just wanted to do, get into her brain and take control. It soon gets quiet and I sit at my computer back on the question and answer site. So if I supposedly like Casey then why do I...um why do I always make fun of her? Why do I get really mad around her and get a terrible head ach? Yeah I didn't think so.

Good glad I have that settled. But Derek if you don't like her why do you tease her? Isn't teasing just like flirting? Why do you get nervous? Why do you want to get her atttention and don't want her to look hot on dates? Crap. I close my eyes and think. I need to talk to someone tell anyone. But who.

"Derek here is Julie. I'll be back later," Casey says flatly. "No goodbye," I joke. She slams my door and I look at the doll sitting on my bed. Telling Sam would get me on trouble, Ralph can't keep secerts to save his life, and anyone else it would be the end of the freakin world. Its going to be the Internet or this doll. I go with the doll since someone could figure out it was me on the Internet. What if Casey came across it? I would never hear the end of it.

I go over to the bed and pick up the baby. Its not like the doll is going to tell anyone or like anyone can hear me. "Okay. Julie I need you to listen closely. I am going to tell you a big secert you have to promise you won't tell anyone," I look the doll in the eyes. It just giggles. I nod as if that was her okay.

Edwin's POV

God, I hate Derek. He probably is going to tell everyone that Lizzie and I are together. If dad and Nora found out who knows what would happen. Everything the past year would mean absolutely nothing. Well that's not true but it would really suck. But if there is one thing I have learned from Derek is to get information to keep other information quiet. But I don't know any dirt on Derek. And why is my throat so freaking dry? I get up off my bed and go past Derek's door hearing the words "Promise you won't tell anyone." I smile. Perfect. I step next to the door and hear a little giggle. He is probably talking to Lexi.

"So...Julie," he starts. Julie? Maybe he dumped Lexi. She is really hot though. A little annoying but oh well. I lean closer to the door. "I fell asleep today. Wait, let me start over. I was drinking some soda and I fell asleep. You know how I sleep a lot. Well not really but you will. And I started having this dream. And it wasn't like any dream I have had before. It was about...Casey." I gasp. Casey? What was it come on Derek keep going! I hear a girl voice say ahhh. Okay I guess his girlfriend is okay with him having dreams about his step sister.

"Yeah and she came into my room looking all mad and she told me she wanted me to dance with her. So I stood up and all of a sudden I am wearing a tux and she is wearing a really really sexy black dress. And this music came on and we started doing the tango. I won't go into details since your a little to young. But it was awesome. But I feel really weird now because I read online that means you like someone you dream about and I am un sure if I like her?" I gasp again. This is really unDerek like. He usually doesn't talk about things with people. Wait he also admits to maybe liking her! This is too good.

I smile and rub my hands together. "But I know I don't but its still different know. You kow?" "What are you doing," Lizzie asks me. I jump. "Nothing," I move away from the door. "But I want to tell you something. Meet me in the closet after dinner." Lizzie nods slowly and goes to her room.

Casey POV

I get into the prince and drive to Noels house. He is outside waiting. He doesn't have a car yet so we are going to drive mine/Derek's. "Hey Noel," I smile and wave. He gets into the passenger seat. He hasn't passed his drivers test yet either. He said that he gets really nervous when he is at the wheel so he gives me directs me to where we are going. "Okay here we are," he laughs. I look at the sign. Its a new Italian restaurant. "I was really surprised you called me tonight. But i am glad you did," he takes my hand and kisses it. I blush. "Thanks."

"And you look great," he looks me over. For some reason I changed into a different outfit after my fit. We go in the restaurant and it is really fancy. All night we talk about school and Rachel. I don't tell him what I really think of her. A slut and try to be nice. "Rachel is amazing. She is nice, charismatic, and really pretty. Put I am not a player like the guys said. I just was taught how to dance like that by her," Noel says taking a sip of his drink.

"You don't think its too sexy and that it is pretty much sex on the dance floor?" Noel laughs. "Some people consider it that. I don't, I take it as poetry in motion with a lot of emotion. Its powerful and can say a lot. Though you don't have to have a strong relationship with your partner. It is better that way especially if you want better chemistry but I think it brings people together." I choke on my water. "Sorry. I didn't mean it like that. Because I know you and Derek aren't together. Sorry." I shake my head. "Its okay. But I better get home. Derek and Julie probably need me," I get up.

"Okay. See you tomarrow." "I'd rather take a taxi," Noel bites his lip. I don't blame him. The way Derek keeps his car is just like his room a mess. I am going to need to clean it out really soon or I am going to explode. "Bye," I wave and drive back home.-
