SCANDAL

Chapter 1

*3 weeks earlier*
Darek is such a good best friend. He's always there for me when i need him and when others aren't here. "Hey,Caitlyn!!" Darek yells from half way across the blacktop. "Hey Darek." i say back, pulling him into a tight hug. "Okay, so i have a question." Darek says with the cheekiest little smile. "Okay...."
"Would you like, to do the honors, of going on a date with me" He says ever so confidently.
"Of course!!" i say, hugging him.
"Alright, 6:30 sound good to pick you up?" Darek says. "Yeah yeah sure." i say. The bell rings and i swiftly walk to class to ensure that i won't be late for 1st period.

Darek's pov:
Shit. I didn't think i would get this far. I was prepared to get rejected and get the "just friends" talk. But....NOPE! It wasn't. I went to my first class of the day, rather excited for 6:30 to finally come. The day carried on quickly. Finally, the last class of the day came. I walked into Choir and sat in my assigned seat in the treble section. Yea. I get it, guys usually dont take Choir. Especially a guy like me, the soccer team's captain.

*45 minutes later*
That song is going to take some work. We suck ass at singing classical songs. It sounds like shit. As i walk out the front doors of the high school, i spot Jackie getting into her car and driving off. "Okay, Darek. Dont screw things up. You can't afford to do stupid shit." i say to myself as i walk to my car. I get home and my step-brother is sitting at the table doing homework. "Darek! Can you help me with my homework please!?!?" Mason says when he sees me walking through the front door. "Okay, the Pacific Ocean is located....where..." i ask him and he sits there for a few minutes trying to think. I checked my watch for the time. Damn.....its 5:30. I write the answer down on his paper and swiftly walk upstairs. I go to my room where my mother is putting my laundry away. "Mum, where is a good place to take a girl on a date?" i ask her, putting my bag on my bed. "Oohhh...who's the lucky girl?" Mum asks me as she hangs up my last polo shirt. "Its....um....its Caitlyn." i reply, leaving my cheeks flushed.
"Our Caitlyn?" she asks with her eyes wide. "YES MUM OUR CAITLYN!" I exclaim. I smile as the room fills with my mother's excitement from me finally taking Caitlyn on a date....after 3 years of saying i would.

Caitlyn's pov:
What to wear..... Damn it. I should have asked if i needed to dress casual or formal. "Mom!! I need your help! Pleasssseee!" i yell down the hallway. "Coming love!!" mom says as she turns the corner from the living room. "Okay, so Darek asked me on a date and i need something to wear. But, i dont know whether i need to dress casual or formal." I explain. "Well honey, my best advice is to wear something between casual and formal. Maybe you can wear your flower dress and the white pumps i bought for you." mom replies as she looks through my wardrobe to find my baby pink and flower dress. "Okay, thanks mum." i say kissing her softly on the cheek. I slip my dress on and dab a small amount of makeup on and go to my bathroom to curl my hair. Once i was finished, i put on my white pumps and walked to the mirror. "Hmmm.....too fancy." i say. I pull the heels off and put on my white Keds instead. Perfect. I hear the doorbell ring downstairs and i check the time on my phone. 6:30. He's punctual af. I walk down the stairs to see mom and Darek standing there. He's wearing his usual black leather jacket, black jeans, and the Nirvana shirt i love so much."Bye mum! See you later!" i announce as we walk out the door.

Derek's pov:
Don't fuck up. Don't fuck up. Don't fuck up. I open the passenger door for Caitlyn and she climbs in my car. I drive us to the destination of the date. I get out and explain everything to Caitlyn "stay here and I'll tell you when to come along, okay?"
"Okay." Caitlyn says. And with that i walk away from the car. I turn back and smile at Caitlyn. I get to the place I'm supposed to be at and text Caitlyn "Follow the arrows until they stop." and turn my phone off. I sit and patiently wait "This is gonna be a long night."
