"UH!" Casey McDonald was just moving into her new stepdad's house with her sister and mother. She hated that she was leaving her friend and private school back home.

As of Derek, he was also unhappy that he would have to share his house, space and school with his new stepsister. Casey.

Casey's POV

I walked into the new house and was shocked by how clean it was. We had already made an agreement about the room situation so I was happy. I was starting school today and was looking forward to making new friends. Derek drove to school while we argued about who gets the car at what time.

"You don't even have any friends so why do you think you need the car?"

"Derek let's work this out later, I don't have time to argue with you on my first day of school. And with that I walked out of the car without even hearing a word he said.

I went to the guidance counselor's office to get my schedule. I had AP-English 1st period. I found my locker and my new friend, Emily.

"Hey, we have the same first period together, she said."

"Sweet.", I responded.

As we walked there, with me behind her we made it to class without a hitch. The teachers name was Mrs. Reed. I had to go up and introduce myself.

"Hello. I'm Casey McDonald I just moved here with my mom and sister to live with my step-dad. And I really hope to have a good time here.

I heard cat calls and whistles as I returned to my seat. This boy "Max' totally caught my eye and I could tell he was checking me out too. The rest of the day went by without a hitch and at lunch I sat with Emily. I could see Derek sitting with this boy who was also really cute.

"Who's that boy with Derek?"

I saw Emily's eyes drop quickly and she asked, "So you know Derek Venturi too, huh?"

"Yes. He's my new step-brother. I know it unfortunate cause he's a total asshole-

I saw her begin to smile. "Stepbrother?" OMG isn't he totally hot. I am secretly in love with him. Well it's no secret know. But isn't he so hot?

"Ewwwwwww." NO, NO AND NO. He is a total jerk. Anyways back to the question."

"Who's that boy next to Derek?"

"Um…that's Sam Derek ultimate best friend." What you like?

"No just wondering, cause he's kinda cute."

"I can totally hook you guys up!"

"Emily, no," I said with a smile.

"Oookkkkk….whatever you say," she said with a smile.

Derek POV

"Dude there's this totally new hot girl in my first period", Sam said.

"If she's hot I might know her, I mean look at me, who wouldn't want a piece of this?"

I said while drinking my milk.

"Well, here names Casey McDonald and-"

I spit out my milk. "Casey is not hot…ewww dude she's my new stepsister," I said with a sneer.

"Stepsister?"

"Yah"

"Hey, know I have a reason to come over to your house, don't I?"

"You can't go out with Casey dude. That's the code for best friends. And besides she's an obnoxious, annoying bitch.

"Well if she lives with you I can see how she could be annoyed by you." Any ways I'll catch up with you later I have things to do.'

"Ok dude I'll catch up with you later," I said as we dabbed each other.

Casey's POV

My first day of school was surprisingly good. As I walked to Derek's Car I noticed Sam was next to him. I walked up there and l caught Sam looking at me and I blushed.

We got into the car and Derek drove to the gas station to get gas. It was just me and Sam left in the car and we started to talk.

"So what's your name," he asked me.

"Casey." I blushed.

"So… you like it around here?

" It's okay. It's just that Derek is a total asshole."

He started laughing and said, "I know he is kind of mean."

And that's when I saw how gorgeous he really was. Not in a Brad Pitt kind of way. But in his own way. And that made me blush even harder. We just looked at each other for a while. Derek came back in the car and I turned around as if nothing even happened. This might be a great change after all.
