“Weird about what?” This was getting interesting
“Weird about me~”
“Hey ya’ll!” Derek yelled dropping in between us. I WAS GOING TO KILL HIM!
“Derek, what are you doing here?” I asked through gritted teeth
“I was just around and decided to drop in on my baby sister” He smiled a little too wide
“You just so happened to be at school after hours when there was no reason to be here? Doesn’t sound much like you” I rolled my eyes
“Well, people change” Derek stood up and I was glad he was leaving, “Time to go sis”
“What?” I asked shocked
“Mom told me to come pick you up” Derek said sounding impatient
“Why? Brad was going to drop me off” I said pointing at Brad who hadn’t said a word
“Oh no, it’s out of Brad’s way. I’ll take you” Derek smiled, “Brad doesn’t mind, right?”
“No…no of course not” Brad said looking at Derek. A look passed between them and was gone before I could decipher it, “I’ll see you tomorrow” With that Brad got up and began walking to the change rooms
“Where are you going?” Derek asked as I began following Brad
“To get my stuff?”
“Oh, I can just tag along” Derek skipped, he honestly did, to my side
“Why are you really here?” I stopped
“Just cause” He smiled like he wasn’t doing anything wrong. Derek knew about my huge crush on Brad, I was sure my entire family knew. So why was he acting like…like… a third wheel?
“I really hate you” I mumbled on the drive home
“I’ll buy you a cone at Hal’s” Derek shrugged
“What was the point of that? You totally embarrassed me!” I yelled turning his stupid music off. He was listening to some folk song that a buddy recommended
“Hey! I was listening to that” Derek wailed
“You hate folk” I scowled
“I’ve said it once and I will say it again, people change”
“I don’t even care! Why did you embarrasses me like that? Now Brad probably thinks that I need my brother for everything!”
“Do you really want to know?” Derek said looking at me once we reached a red light
“I wouldn’t have asked if I wasn’t expecting an answer” I said haughtily
“Brad isn’t good news. He’s been notorious for being a player” Derek said
“That’s it? He has a past, so what?” I really didn’t understand his point
“Ashley! He’s dated like all of the sophomores, seniors and he would probably date the freshman too if it weren’t so frowned upon. He’s probably gone through our entire junior class!” Derek yelled
“Amazing, just amazing. You are such a hypocrite you know that? You want to pass judgment onto someone else when you’re exactly that!”
“I’m nothing like Brad” Derek said offended
“You’re not? In the ninth grade you dated six sophomores, nine juniors, and three seniors in the span of two months. Don’t even let me tell you your track record for sophomore year”
