Several weeks have passed since the winter dance. Beth has been with Scott nearly five months and he has become her best friend. Beth didn't know what she was feeling. Was she too young to be in love? Beth sat outside for lunch and just sighed. Brenda and Kelly saw her and sat with her.
" You look puzzled," Kelly said, " Are you okay?"
Beth shrugged her shoulders. She didn't know what to say to them.
" Maybe we can help you," Brenda said, " What's wrong? Something has to be you were like that this morning."
" How do you know if your in love?" Beth asked looking at them, " I'm sort of confused."
Kelly and Brenda looked at each other and smiled.
" Scott?" Kelly asked.
" Yes," Beth answered, " I enjoy spending time with him. My parents even like him more. He respects me and he is just so sweet."
Brenda looked at Beth and was happy for her, she wished her parents like Dylan, but at times, she knew they didn't.
" I think you answered your own question," Kelly told her, " You are in love."
Scott and David soon came and joined them along with Donna.
" How's it shaking?" David asked sitting down.
Donna sat down next to David and Scott sat next to Beth.
" Why the sad look Beth?" Donna asked, " It's a beautiful day."
Beth then smiled, " Yeah it is," she said, " I just had a long morning. Tests, homework , and I've got that article to work on.
" You'll do fine," Scott said, " You always do."
" Thanks for the vote of confidence," Beth said kissing him.
" Those two are so cute together it makes me sick sometimes," Dylan said coming up and sitting next to Brenda.
" Don't mean to make you ill," Beth said, " I'm just so happy."
" It was a joke," Dylan said.
" We know that," Scott said.
Beth continued to eat her lunch. She now knew it she had to be in love.
