Nope, it was at that moment that Derek knew he screwed up. Bethany gave him a pensive look and walked off towards the toilets. He tried calling out to her, nothing.
He sat for a minute asking himself what he did wrong, and then stared at Mr Bunny with a confused look on his face, his cheek resting in his hand.
Beth went straight for the port-a-potties. She needed time. Despite the grotesque environment, she whipped out her phone and just thought to herself for a minute...
He wasn't supposed to be nice. What kind of a setup was her brother running? Was he trying to be a prick and set her up with a jerk? Was he trying to be nice and actually get her a date? Was he just confused and full of anger?
Typing, typing, typing, Back and forth, texts flew. She had managed to squeeze more information out of her brother by text during the bathroom break, but she knew him better than anyone and could read between the lines. She sent one final text, got up and washed her hands before returning slowly to the park bench.
Derek's phone buzzed. "Sorry, had to go to the bathroom. I like the vanilla-flavored pea protein powder. Dad's the big health nut, though, he's got a gym in the basement that I use so I don't get perved on at the school gym or the malll gym."
His eyes widened as he read the message. He raised his head and looked around. Is she..? Was she..? He spotted her coming back and his fear of screwing everything up melted a bit into a relaxed smile.
As Bethany approached, he said "Sorry, I thought I said something wrong." Beth just gave him a tiny smile back, because, well, he had said something 'wrong'. He wasn't supposed to be "nice". She gave Mr. Bunny a ruffle on the head and a chummy squeze around the neck, and smiled at Derek.
"So where do we go from here?" Derek asked, in both the metaphorical and physical sense.
