"Future Deadline"
He was screwed.
There was no doubt about it. How was he supposed to plan the next three years of his life in the next hour?
He had no fucking clue.
He remembered thinking about it before, no thanks to Casey. He was busy watching his show one day when she started talking about all the opportunities and classes she couldn't wait to experience in their second year at Queens. He was annoyed by that because not even a week had gone by since they finished their first year and she was already thinking about the next. It really irritated him.
But looking back now he couldn't help but think that maybe she was on to something. He couldn't dwell on that now because in less than an hour, he was expected to enroll into his desired major and the courses that go with it for the upcoming school year yet he had no clue what major he was doing…not off the top of his head anyways (he remembered that it had a complicated name to it).
The only good thing about having a keener stepsister was that she took notes pertaining to his future as well as to hers when she was doing them. Now he just had to find them.
He groaned when he looked around his trashed room. There was absolutely no way that he'd find the notes in time.
He sighed as he pulled his phone out of his pocket and started dialing in her number. Desperate times call for desperate measures, he thought as he waited for her to pick up.
He just hoped that she'd be more worried about the fast approaching deadline he had than on the fact that he called her for help.

A/N #1: It's not really what I had to deal with when I tweeted the quote in the first place but I remembered having to search for my stuff before enrollment time (I figured that Derek would get himself in that position too). I'm kind of like Casey in the whole research thing yet like Derek when it comes to misplacing things.
A/N #2: Thank you for everyone who took the time to read my latest snippet on Life with Derek, it means the world to me! A special thanks to Ghostwriter and Enx2103 for leaving me a review...I'm loving the thoughts that I get to read and it means the world that you're leaving your thoughts behind for me to read. THANK YOU!
A/N #3: I just wanted to let all you LWD fans know that I just updated my Life with Derek/Vampire Diaries crossover "A Journey To Find a Lost Soul" so I hope you all check it out!
Coming Up Next: Nikita (plot bunny)
