Disclaimer: I do not own Life with Derek
(although, if you wanted to give me Michael Seater, I wouldn't argue with you)
Casey walked down the hallway, shifting her bag from one shoulder to the other. Usually, her eyes would be on the ground, making sure she didn't trip over anything, but today she was feeling confident enough to look around. She had gone shopping over the weekend and she was wearing the cute pink top she had bought as well as her brown suede ballet flats. Both items earned her a few compliments and Casey was feeling good.
She looked out at the faces of the people walking past her. Some girls giggled and chattered as they walked to class with their tote bags hanging from their shoulders. Guys walked down the hallway all nonchalant, sometimes nodding at a girl or saying "hey" to another guy. And others, like herself, walked alone, either trying to get to class as soon as possible or trying to find someone to talk to. She belonged to the latter group, but none of her friends shared her last class or her next class to walk with. And seeing how she was in the freshman hallway, none of her friends would be standing at the lockers to talk to.
A flier caught her eye that hung on the opposite side of the hallway. It was about some kind of charity the student government was raising money for. Then, she saw Derek walking with Sam. She caught Derek's eye and he looked at her. He didn't look away quickly, as if he were embarrassed, like he normally did when they were in a public place and that surprised her. It wasn't the god she's hot look she wished she got from guys though either. He just looked at her, and then they passed one another and she didn't dare look back at him.
First of all, Happy New Year!!!
I got this idea in my head yesterday and I just wrote it. Don't worry, there'll be more. I'm kind of excited for it.
Title thanks to Shiny Toys Guns. It's the name of one of their songs.
Tell me what you think. Does Casey seem real? (I tried to think about what I think of when I walk down the hallways at my school) What do you think's gonna happen? Any scenarios you'd like to see?...etc etc...
