11 WHO?

The closing bell just rang and Derek is running through the school compound with a thought that all his classmates are after him due to the "trick" performed the previous day, he has been avoiding everyone even his friends. He stopped a taxi and he's off to Joshs house.

He stood in front of an old looking house, Derek thought to himself "This can't be Joshs house, what the hell are they up to?" he knocks for a while and Mira opens the door same time dragging him in like someone was somewhere watching them. Derek looks at the sitting room which looks old as well. Josh, Natasha and Chris are all sitting down. "hurray our celebrant is here" Josh says sarcastically, Natasha lets out a giggle. "So what are we doing here?" Derek asks impatiently, "I don't know, maybe we want to teach you how to handle stuffs on your own, you know you bit Jesse your bestfriend the other time and I helped you out" , Derek looks sad Mira walks to the middle "well we want to teach you how this stuff works Mr Corbett" "first" Chris begins "you'll have to start learning how to feed on animals or blood bags or humans and compelling" he smirks. "And how to control yourself from turning into a fish" "please don't use that word" Natasha says. "Well Derek you are one of us now and you need to keep us updated on what's happening with you, cause we have lots of us everywhere trying to dominate so please ask questions" Derek gulps and asks "the Merman thing is really getting on my nerves. I'm scared of every drop of water. Can't it be stopped?" "it can't, it is like fighting against nothing but as a Mirire, you are at advantage, you're mind is so strong. If you were a usual merman, then that's trouble but as as a Merire, you can actually turn or not just thinking about it but you'll need concentration, any mistakes then you are a tilapia in front of everyone but remember, the vampire side of you is harder to control" Josh says, Mira looks at Natasha "now" Natasha smiles and begins to enchant the ground. They all disappeared and found themselves in a lonely beach, the beach Derek once drowned in. "Derek lets swim" Mira says, he was being hesitant but gives in as they ran to the water. Derek had a magical time.

"What's wrong with you man? You are not serious with baseball anymore. You just been hanging out with those weird fellows lately" Andrew says "they are my friends" Derek smirks. "Since when?" Derek hisses and stands up "you might as well back out you know'' Andrew spits trying to start a fight "no I won't" Derek walks out with his hands buried into his pockets.

Karen stood in cafeteria when she sees Derek coming closer. She smiles, he tries to return it. "Hey" she says, he kisses her cheeks. They both sat down as she continues "so?" Derek looks confused "so what?" She looks saddened "Derek tomorrow is my birthday" Derek sat confused, it felt like a thousand bullets running into his chest "um... yeah. Uh. Happy birthday in advance baby" "wait you forgot?" Karen asks. "No of course not. Um just thinking about the surprise I got you. But it's no longer a surprise now right?" She smiles totally convinced "but on a norm you tell me a happy birthday in advance, I know you've been through a lot and you being alive, here by my side alone Derek is a surprise. So what is it?" Derek smiles "maybe that will be the surprise babe"

Derek runs towards Andrew in the baseball field "shit man I am in some kinda shit" "sure you are" Andrew smirks "now is not the right time. I'm sorry for earlier okay? Tomorrow's Karen's birthday and I totally forgot about it. I don't even know what to give her" "get her a nice jewelry and take her somewhere you guys can spend sometime alone, trust me she deserves it." "True, Thanks man" Derek says "anytime" they both smile and shake hands

Natasha drags Mira all the way from their classroom to the school compound "Mira we are in deep mess" "what? why?" Mira asks "guess who I just saw in principals office?" "Who?" Mira asks curiously "Zack" Natasha whispers "oh my God!!! What is he doing here?" "I think he knows about Derek" Natasha says. "I don't think I'm ready for this." Mira rubs her shoulders looking worried.
