And When The Tables Are Turned... |Derek Venturi| Chapter One

Derek and I were watching tv in the living room. Everyone else was in bed.

"So, Derek, you wanna tell me something about those textbooks?" I asked him.

"What?" He asked, in his 'I'm-watching-TV-so-chances-are-I-don't-know-what-you're-saying' voice.

"The textbooks. From your school." I said.

Derek shrugged. "Ask Casey."

"What?" I asked.

He smiled. "Kay, let's think logically for 5 seconds, why would I textbooks? It was obviously Casey."

"Yes, but why would Casey steal at all?" I pointed out.

Derek shrugged again. "That's beyond me. But, hey, you know Casey. Maybe you'll find out if she has them or not."

I sighed in frustration, and Dered flipped his chair down and got up.

"Are you coming to bed?" He asked looking down at me.

"That sounds really weird.." I said.

Derek laughed. "Yeah it does. Um, are you going to bed now?"

I smirked. "Yeah, I guess."

Derek and I walked upstairs and got into our beds.

"So, look, I've been meaning to talk to you today about.. last night." Derek said suddenly.

"Uh, what about it?" I asked nervously.

"Uh, was it your idea to kiss me, or my idea to kiss you?" He asked.

"Um, I don't know. Does it matter?" I asked.

"No. But if it was your idea that clearly means you like me, but if it was my idea, that would have to mean that--"

"You like me?" I finished.

"Uh, yeah. That." He said.

"Well, Derek, it's hard to say. I don't remember much other than that we were both kissing eachother." I told him.

"So, does that mean we like eachother?" Derek asked.

I scoffed. "And you call yourself a ladies man?"

"Cause I am!" Derek gloated.

I smirked. "Well then I don't know, you tell me."

Derek folded his arms behind his head and looked up at his ceiling. "Well, I think that it means that you secretly want me super badly."

I laughed out loud. "Wow, you are the most self-obsorbed human being I've ever met in my life."

"Maybe. But you'd have to be the hottest." Derek said.

I scoffed. "Uh, thanks?"

"You're welcome!" Derek said before turning around.

I sighed, closed my eyes, and was asleep before I even knew it.
