Selena: Demi, I like you more than I should...

Demi: You... what?

Selena: Ever since 5th grade I've had this crush on you that I thought would go away, but it never went away and... I just...

Demi: *looks away* I like you too Selena, but this... can't happen.

Selena: Why not?

Demi: *looks back at Selena* Don't you see? We're in high school, people here care less about you until you have a major secret that they figure out. If the people here knew about our secret, we'd be severely bullied.

Selena: Let's hide it then. When we're alone we can act like a couple and when we're around people, we can pretend that we're just friends.

Demi: Okay, but what if people find out?

Selena: I'm not quite sure, but let's just deal with that when it happens.

Demi: *smiles* I'm glad you're mine.

Selena: *smiles back* And I'm glad that you're mine.

A WEEK LATER

Nick: Sel, you haven't been around a lot lately, you've missed soccer matches, and that's just not like you.

Selena: I know Nick, I'm really sorry, I've just been... busy.

Nick: There's something you're not telling me Selena and I plan to find out what it is.

Selena: Good luck with that.

Nick: Anyways, we're playing soccer at the park later today, do you want to come or are you too "busy"?

Selena: I have plans already, I'm sorry.

Nick: With who?! Who are you spending all your time with? For the past week you've been occupied by this person and we would love too know who it is.

Selena: Listen, I can't tell you yet, but when the time comes, I promise you will know.

LATER THAT EVENING

Demi: Hey Sel.

Selena: Demi, my friends are getting suspicious. I don't think I can keep lying to them.

Demi: Do you think they'll be able to accept the truth?

Selena: I'm pretty sure. I don't see why they wouldn't.

Demi: You know... I'm talking about Joe.

Selena: He might have a problem... but you never know Demi, we're pretty close.

Demi: I'm just worried, I don't want it getting around the school.

Selena: I get you, but these are my friends we're talking about.

Demi: I guess you're right.

Selena: So I can tell them tomorrow?

Demi: I guess so.

THE NEXT MORNING

Nick: Selena, this is getting ridiculous. Where are you always going?

Selena: It's a secret. Do you really wanna know?

Nick: YES!

Selena: SHH. *whispers in his ear* I'm dating Demi Lovato.

Nick: YOU'RE WHAT?!

Selena: Nick shut up, you heard me. You knew this was going to happen one day.

Nick: Yeah, but not with Demi! Most of the school hates her.

Selena: She's really sweet Nick. She's... she's the love of my life.

Nick: How do you know so soon?

Selena: I've known her since kindergarten Nick.

Nick: True.

Suddenly Selena's phone rings...
