•Bethany's POV•

~on the phone w derek and mark~

"Hello?" Derek says on the other line.

"Hey, what's up" I say.

"Nothin much I just have a question."

"Oh okay go ahead."I reply. I look I've at Sadie who's face is as terrified as mine.What could be his question.

"So I heard that you have a new bf, and I just have to get all the gossip because I'm Derek Hough so is it true??" Derek says

I look over at Sadie and widen my eyes. "say something" she mouthes to me trying not to be too loud,

"Nope not true at all" I say giggling "Who told you that? Oh wait I bet it was Mark."

"Yep that's who it was." Derek says

"Tell him I said I think he's an idiot okay." I say laughing

"Okay will do B, I have to go I'll talk to you later." Derek said

"Okay peace out D."I said and quickly hung up. I turned over and looked at Sadie with my mouth hanging open in disbelief.

"They are seriously up to something. And we all know that Mark was not the one wondering if you have a bf or not... it was Derek. Call me crazy "B", (Sadie says emphasizing on Derek's nickname for me) but I think Derek has feeling for you."

"No no no, no way that's impossible, and highly inappropriate. Think of the age gap, I would be a terrible role model for my motavators if I was dating a guy 11 years older than me!" I said

"Well explain the 3 phone calls we got tonight asking about you and your love life Bethany!!" Sadie said

"Sadie there is no way, why would someone like Derek like me. I'm only 19 I don't know anything about life. I'm inexperienced. I haven't even had a real relationship before!" I said

"But think about it Beth, why did Derek call you to see if you were dating someone? It's because he is into you and was worried someone else had already beaten him to you." Sadie said,making a good point.

"Idk Sadie, as much fun as I think it would be, I know that it could never happen let's be honest here." I say trying not to get too happy at the thought of Derek actually having feelings for me.

"Ha!!! So you do have feelings for him!!!!!" Sadie accuses

"Now wait up I never said that" I say defensively

"But you said "as much fun as I think it would be" which basically means you like him."Sadie said

"Dream on Sadie, dream on." I retorted

Finally we arrived back at my house from the drive that seemed to take 9 hours long. Sadie is sleeping over which is another good thing hopefully we can finally get some rest after a very long night.

~~~~~~~Derek's POV~~~~~~~

After I hung up with Bethany on the phone Mark said, "Yup I'm totally the one who wanted to know if Beth was dating anyone, she probably thinks I'm the one that likes her now."

"Woah woah woah who said anything about me liking her???" I said defensively

"Hmmm lemme think..... Maybe you. Explain to me why we called three calls tonight trying to figure out who's dating Bethany because you think another guy is already with her,when obviously there is no other guy." Mark said

"Okay I just can't think about this anymore tonight, I gotta get some sleep night night Mark, thanks for helping me tonight." I said

"Anything for a brotha." Mark replied

As I was getting ready for bed I decided to text Bethany and thank her for coming tonight because it's the right thing to do...right? Then I stopped myself. I looked in the mirror and stood there staring at myself. What am I doing. I cannot date a girl that is 11 years younger than me. She has a whole fan base of mostly little girls that look up to her, what would happen if all the sudden she started dating an older guy. What would people say? I'm guessing not anything good. But then again on the other hand age is only a number and love has no limits. Bethany is so mature it almost feels like she's older than me. But maybe she doesn't feel the same way about me. I shook off any bad thoughts I had at the moment and texted Beth," Hey thanks for coming tonight, I hope you had fun. You looked gorgeous tonight. Let's hang soon, I missed my dance partner."

~~~~~~~Beth's POV ~~~~~~~~

Sadie and I were about to fall asleep When my phone buzzed and lit up from my night stand I rolled over and grabbed my phone smiling at the cute text Derek just sent me. Sadie rolled over and looked up at me " Derek?"She questioned. I nodded and laughed. What am I getting myself into.

~~~~~~~~Sadie's POV~~~~~~~

I know this doesn't sound like me but I needed to do something about this whole Bethany and Derek situation. I remember when I first started getting feelings for my bf it was my friends that actually made it happen by teaming up with his friends and getting us together. So I know I need to so the same thing with Bethany. I'm just helping out a friend. I grab my phone and quickly text mark.

"Mark we need to talk. It's about Derek and Bethany." I texted first

" I was just gonna text you, we need to do something about this. I wanna kill them both." he texted back

"Alright we need a plan." I said mischievously and laughed.
