Beth ended up telling Scott her parents weren't at home and that she couldn't have him there. She also told him she couldn't go anywhere without their permission.
" That's too bad," Scott said, " I just wanted to go to the Peach Pit."
" I'm sorry, Scott," Beth said, " Tonight is out of the question. I would if I could though."
Scott smiled at Beth. Beth smiled back, she enjoyed looking at his smile.
" You are so sweet," Beth said, " And I love being with you. I love you."
Scott looked at her and blinked his eyes, surprised by what Beth just said.
" Scott?" Beth asked, " Are you okay? Did you hear what I said?"
" I heard you," Scott said, " I don't know what to say. I'm surprised."
Beth stood on the porch," I haven't felt this way before," she said, " I enjoy every moment I have with you. Your my best friend Scott. You were the first one.."
Scott didn't let her finish and silenced her with a kiss, but it ended quickly.
" Wow," Beth said, " You'd better get going before my parents get home. They like you and I want to keep seeing you."
" Okay," Scott said, " I'll see you tomorrow and I love you too, Beth."
Beth watched as Scott walked away. Beth then went back into the house and sat down with a smile.
The next morning, Beth walked through the halls of West Beverly humming to herself.
" Why do you look so happy?" Brenda asked, " And where were you last night?"
" I couldn't come," Beth asked, " My parents weren't home and to answer you other question, I'm happy because I love Scott and he knows I love him."
Kelly came up and smiled.
" Good morning," Kelly said, " Beth missed you at the Pit," she said, " I didn't see you with Scott."
" Beth couldn't come," Brenda answered for her.
" Scott wouldn't stop talking about you," Kelly joked.
Beth blushed.
" I can't go anywhere without my parents permission," Beth said, " So that's why I was at home."
" I thought you parents like Scott?" Kelly asked.
" They do," Beth said, " I'd like to keep it that way. I'm only in the 10th grade. They trust me, but they also want to protect me."
" I know the feeling," Brenda said, " My parents get that way with Dylan sometimes."
Beth smiled, she wasn't the only one with overprotective parents.
" You seem happy about something else," Brenda said, " What is it?"
" Before, Scott would just kiss me on the cheek or even shake my hand," Beth said, " But last night was different and it was WOW."
Kelly and Brenda looked at each other and laughed.
" We were on the porch," Beth said, " And that's when Scott surprised me." It was gentle and sweet. Like him."
Scott and David then came up.
" Three lovely ladies," David said, " The beauty scene."
Brandon then came up with Steve behind him. Dylan also came up. Dylan noticed how Scott and Bet were.
" You two are so cute together," Dylan said, " I'm happy you found each other."
" Thanks," Beth said, " Where's Donna and Andrea?"
" They were in the parking lot," Steve said, " Discussing that fashion show coming up."
" I love Donna's designs," Beth said, " She is so talented."
" And beautiful," David added," I'm so lucky."
" So am I," Scott said putting his arm around Beth, " I love this little lady."
" I love you too," Beth said looking at him.
" Isn't that sweet," Brandon said, " Like them."
" What about me?" Kelly asked Brandon.
" You?" Brandon joked, " Get on my nerves sometimes, but I love you."
Brandon then kissed her cheek.
" Gag me why don't you," David laughed, " I have to go start my show."
" Not yet you don't," Donna said coming up, " Don't feel left out."
Donna then just kissed him. David then walked away and into the radio booth.
" Look at everyone," Beth said, " Are we crazy?"
" Crazy in love," Scott said," I believe I found my destiny."
" Time will tell," Beth said, " I think we should all get to class before the principal breaks up this little party."
Everyone went off in separate directions. Just another day at West Beverly High.
