Bethany's POV

That was so scary!" I shriek
as Derek and I get off the rollercoaster. "You were screaming like a little girl," he says playfully poking me. "I was not," I claim rising to my defense. My cheeks turn a tomato red. "I am starving what about you?" Derek seems to be lost deep into his thoughts. "Derek?" "Huhh.. Yeah." "I asked are you hungry." "Yeah we can get Chick-fil-a." "You know me too well." Once we get to Chick- fil-a, I decide upon ordering the 8- count and some waffle fries. Derek orders a Spicy Chicken Sandwich with waffle fries. As I reach into my purse to get money Derek aburptly stops me. "I'll take care of it," he reassures. "Derek I have money-" "I will be paying for me and the lady,' he says handing the cashier the money. 'Thank you!" I say. "Don't have to thank me," he says with a wide grin across his face. I dreamily stare into his ocean blue eyes as he walks over to our table. "Snap out of it Bethany"

Derek"s POV

There is this question I have been meaning to ask Bethany all day but I don't want to frighten her. And we are just really close friends. At least I think so. Bethany and I have a special but complex relationship. There are times that we will tease each other like siblings but flirt like we are dating. "Um..Bethany," I mumble as my voice quakes in consternation. "Yeah!" she says. Oh my god she looks beautiful.Her smile lights up the world. "I was wondering if maybe you want to go to this Great Gatsby Gala with me," I say as my voice trails away. Bethany gives me a surprised expression. I don't know if that is a good or a bad thing. "You know what.. It's okay," I say. "No,NO, I would love to go ,I am just shocked you would chose me to go with you," Bethany says. "Of course I would chose you, I would be stupid," I say.

Bethany"s POV

A rush of panic washes over me. Why would Derek ask me to go to such an important event with him? He must like me. The thought of that makes me terrified but a smile soon appears on my face. "Bethany you okay," he asks worried. "Never been better!" "What do I wear?" I ask. "Anything related to the Great Gatsby, but you will look gorgeous in anything you wear." I uncontrollably start blushing. I don't want to admit it but I think I am head over heels about this guy.
