Here's the next chapter of the ones I'm uploading tonight. Disclamer: I own nothing I hope you like it.

CHAPTER 6 Realization

"Hey Casey." Benny walked into Casey's room that night.

"Oh hey Benny." Casey said, shutting the book she was reading.

"Hey, you cleaned your room." Benny said in surprise as he sat down on her bed.

It was true; Casey had picked everything up and put it in its place.

"Well I couldn't let you be able to say that you had a cleaner room then me." Casey grinned at her brother. "What's up?"

"I…I…" he stammered.

"Spit it out or leave." Casey teased him. "I'm in a really good part in my book."

"I just wanted to know why you've been at the library every day this week." At Casey's confused look, he added, "I mean come on. The Civil War and history in general is you're strongest area. It doesn't take you a week to write one little paper on a battle."

"Well, I had to do it with a partner." Casey said carefully.

"Really?" Benny asked. "Who?"

Casey had been afraid of this question. Benny could usually tell when she was lying. But if he learned that she had been hanging out with a boy from the Giants and that she was going to meet him again tomorrow, then he would go bezerk!

"I was with Ginny Kendrick." She lied, praying her face didn't tell him that she was lying.

"But you hate her." Benny seemed to be buying it.

"I didn't have much choice in it." Casey kept it up. "Mr. Jennings paired us together. I have to go back to the library tomorrow at one too."

"What for?" Benny exclaimed.

"Ginny is being stupid." Casey rolled her eyes. "She met up with about five of her friends for awhile, then she kept asking me about you and whether you would go out with her, then she finally shut up about how great you are and went to find a book and left me to do the work. By then, it was time for me to go."

"Back up a second!" Benny's eyes were wide. "She likes me?"

"Yeah." That wasn't a lie. About every girl in the school like Benny, "I tuned her out. You're not that great."

Benny glared at her, but didn't argue back.

"Is tomorrow the last day?" Benny asked.

Casey thought for a moment. She didn't know if tomorrow would be the last day she would be meeting Matthew at the library.

"I don't know." She lied, "It's a two week project."

"No longer then an hour all right." Benny told her.

"Yeah like I want to spend an hour with Miss Chatter Box." Casey laughed and rolled her eyes.

Benny laughed as well and left the room telling her good night.

"Night." Casey felt bad for lying to him, but she had no choice.

'He would kill me, Matthew, and anyone within reach.' She thought. 'I can't let that happen.'

'That's because you're falling for the third baseman.' A voice inside her head said.

'That's crazy!' she argued. 'I am not falling for him!'

But she knew it was lie. She was falling for Matthew and falling hard. She sighed.

'I wonder if he likes me too?' she thought as she went to sleep.
