Bethany wondered just what exactly was going through her brother's head when he set her up with one of his bullies from the football team. He'd vented at length about his frustrations with each and every member specifically and had nothing kind to say about any of them. Arthur made them out to be the vile group of people in the world and yet Derek didn't at all act like a prick.
From what she was able to gather he was actually a decent human being. He was in complete contrast to what she'd been told, and he'd been nothing but a gentleman. He treated her like a friend and what even nice to her. He wasn't supposed to be nice. She didn't doubt her brother but the Derek he described and the one she's met acted like two very different people.
As the pair walked, the source of her confusion remained oblivious to her thoughts. They'd played games, won prizes, met some strange characters, and tasted some pretty good carnival food. What else were they supposed to do? She had no other prior dating experience to tell her. That's when she spotted it off in the distance... a tall mechanical structure holding a giant wheel.
Derek noticed his date has ceased her movements and turned to find her with stars in eyes. He raised an eyebrow and followed her gaze until he found the thing that stole her very attention. "The Ferris Wheel...?"
He'd rode one before a while back when the football team and the cheerleading squad had a little get together. It was fun and definitely as romantic as the movies made it out to be. Not to mention the view from up high was amazing.
A small smile formed on his face as he thought back to that day and to right now. He was on a date after all so why not ask. "Bethany?" she diverted her attention towards him. "Would you like to go on the Ferris Wheel?"
Would she like to go on the Ferris Wheel? With him? A small bit of emotion started to slip through her mask of aloofness and her cheeks were growing slightly pink. She'd been on a Ferris Wheel before but never on a date. Did she feel brave enough and bold enough to accept Derek's invitation?
