So, this is my newest Life With Derek story. It is based off of Beatles songs.
It will consist of 48 chapters, arranged by the character and then chronologically. Each chapter is the length of the song.
Dedicated to: kkbeatlesfan who recently got an account and made the Beatles CD for me!
Getting Better, 2:47
Derek was surprised. He actually likes college.
High school was boring. He was just D. Vent, the popular hockey forward. He had no depth. Not like he did now.
He supposes Casey would want to take the credit for it, but she can't, because he hadn't seen her since Christmas vacation, at home.
The majority of freshman year had been Casey-free, except for the first few weeks when she'd been homesick, and insisted on visiting him at least once a day. He kicked her out once hockey practices started, and she'd barely spoken to him since. He'd been splitting his time between staying caught up in his classes, which was a lot harder than he expected, especially without Casey's notes, and managing the grueling hockey practices and workout sessions. The season had gone well; their team was second in the province. He'd finished all his required credits, and everything was fine.
But, now that it's the end of the year, and everyone's getting ready to go home, he realizes that he really liked it here. Derek may be the Lord of Lies, but he's honest with himself, at least. This whole school thing, he has to admit, is getting better all the time.
Sure, he's homesick too. He and Casey head home tomorrow. And, for once, it is the same difference. Casey reminds him of home. Which, was part of the reason she'd been banned from his dorm first semester. After all, there's no place like home.
Review please!
