Obviously, I've changed the summary for this. Again. Sorry. Anyways, I have decided to add a line from the lyrics of each song, so it will change with each chapter.

I Need You, 2:31
"C'mon, Casey. What's three more years?" Derek questions. "We can do this whole, love-hate thing a bit more, right?"
"No, I can't!" she yells through the door of her dorm room.
Derek almost falls over in shock. She'd said…no?
"Casey… please. I need you. If I don't get a roommate, I'll have to pay rent on my own. That means I'd need to get another job, and would be missing practice. If I miss practice, I lose my scholarship."
Someone coughs behind him.
"What?" he snaps.
"This is my room."
"Oh. Sorry. I'm Derek Venturi."
The petite redhead smiles softly. "I figured."
Derek smirks.
"Oh, no. I'm not getting involved in this. Her last roommate saw your picture and called you hot. A week and a half later, she moved out, because she couldn't stand Casey's…"
"Psychotic behavior?"
She clenches her teeth. "Sure. Whatever. Can you move?"
Derek steps aside as she gets her key from her purse.
She glances at him, sympathetically. "The spare's beneath the flowerpot. I'm going out in five minutes. Would you wait 'til then?"
"Sure," Derek laughs. "You know, you could call me some time."
"I could. But, it'd be a pretty worthless endeavor."
He raises an eyebrow.
"No, Derek. I'm not gay. I'm not stupid, either. Bye. Try not to ruin my dorm, okay? Okay."
He's retrieving the key before the door even clicks shut.
