So it's around 11:00 PM, I'm absolutely tired, but just for you guys, I'll write a little.

So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T comment saying how short it might be. I'm tired. And I might give you attitude.

But this chapter is for "Newsiefreak172".


Dear, dear Diary - Pt. 7

It was Saturday morning, and the whole family planned to head down to the mall that afternoon.

Casey rubbed her eye, as she brushed her flowing brown hair. She quickly, but tiredly, pinned back her bangs. As she took a look at herself in the mirror, she thought. Another day. Another akward day. Fantastic.

She threw on a light purple tank top with turqoise lacing, jeans, flip flops and a blue jacket. It had to do, she wasn't in the mood for getting all dressed up.

She made her way downstairs.

Everyone was pre-occupied with breakfast.

Edwin and Lizzie were snickering over their cereal about something. George and Nora were engaging in conversation over omelettes and bacon strips. Marti was enjoying some oatmeal with raisins.

Derek was no where in sight.

Casey got herself a plate of eggs, and two pieces of bacon. She took a seat, and poked at an egg.

"You alright, Case?" Nora asked, taking a bite of her omelette.

She nodded.

Knowing that it was a total lie.

XOXOXO

"I think I'm going to get the car started. Everyone meet me outside in 5 minutes," George called out.

Nora went to retrieve a jacket in their room. Casey set her plate in the sink, only to turn back around and go face first into Derek's chest.

"Watch it, Clutzilla," he said, making his way to the refridgerator.

Casey snarled. What did he say? Wasn't he, in fact, the one that tried being the sensitive one? The one who wanted to make things right? And here, he made it seem like he all he cared about in the world was insulting her.

She muttered a curse word under her breath and grabbed her bag, making sure she had all the neccesaries. She glanced up to see Lizzie and Edwin whispering to each other, looking back and forth between her and Derek.

"What??" Casey said angrily.

The two said nothing but rush out the door.

XOXOXO

When they reached the mall, the family split up into 3 groups. The parents and Marti, Casey with Lizzie, and Derek with Edwin.

Casey browsed at some clothes at Hollister, holding them up, and examining them, before putting them down.

She was looking at a pair of jeans, when Lizzie tapped her on the shoulder.

"Yeah, Liz?" She bent down a bit, hoping she could hear her sister over the loud music.

"What's ... go... on... 'tween you and... 'erk?"

Casey could barely hear her.

"What??" She bent down some more.

But something she spotted outside the store almost made her tip over.

She almost rubbed her eyes to make sure what she was seeing was real. All of a sudden, she felt hot in the head, and couldn't really catch her breath.

Outside, Derek was embracing some blonde girl close, eating her face out.


Mmkay. I think that's all I can manage.

ONCE AGAIN, DO NOT comment on how short it was. But I still want as many reviews as POSSIBLE.

Thank you (:
