"Derek, I don't think that we should do this." Casey said, climbing off of him.
"You say that everytime. Case, are we taking our relationship to the next level, or not?" He sighed and looked at her.
"I don't----"
The door swung open and Mrs. Martin stared at the both of them. "Deans. Now"
Casey looked at Derek as her color flushed. "Yes Mam." She said in a hurry, gathering her books and running out of the room. How could have she forgotten that Mrs. Martin had a key to the nurse's extra room? Casey rushed to the deans. She was going to get in so much trouble. She could tell.
"Casey!" Nora said, running over and hugging her. "Lizzie is in the hospital." She sniffled. You could tell she had been crying.
"What happened?!" Casey said, tearing up.
"She collapsed at school. They are trying to figure out what's happening." Nora said, hugging Casey tighter. Derek jogged over.
"Whats going on?" He asked. He looked at Casey, who was sobbing now.
"Liz is in the hospital." Nora said, pulling away from Casey. Derek rubbed Casey back symatheticlly. Casey put her head against his chest and sobbed into him. He hugged her tight and rocked her. Without thinking he kissed her head.
"It'll be ok, Case." Nora said, not noticing.
-----Hospital------
"Lizzie!" Edwin said barging into the room.
"Edwin!" She shouted as she sat up a bit. Edwin hugged her.
"I was so worried." Edwin said into her hair.
"Thanks." She said pulling back and kissing his lips.
Casey's mouth gaped open, along with Derek's.
"What was that?" Casey asked, walking into the room.
"A kiss..." Lizzie said, matter-of-factly.
"But, thats not right." Casey said. "You guys are dating?"
"Yes..." Lizzie said in the same tone.
Derek had the same idea as Casey. Casey ran over, and kissed him full on the lips.
