You are 15- they want you to enjoy being a kid while you still are, because you won't be for long. They love and care about you, and only want what is best for you. Dating at young ages is not often really what is best, especially when it comes down to "everyone else is doing it."
Someone said you shouldn't hide it, because they'll find out and all trust will go out the window. How right they are! You don't want to lose your parents' trust by hiding a boyfriend. They will be less apt to allow you to do anything at all, let alone date, out of lack of trust.
Lying and hiding it also shows immaturity, exactly what you DON'T want to show. Be mature and tell them what is going on.
Sit them down and tell them there is a boy you roll with at school, and you wish you could go on an official date with him. Said date could be him coming to your home and taking dinner and spending the evening with you AND your family. That would give your parents a chance to get to know him.
If they say no, don't beg, whine, and complain. That also shows immaturity. Ask them why, and try to understand their reasons. If you want them to understand you, you have to give them the same respect by wanting to understand them.

Now naturally, they will say 'no' or 'out of the question', but don't give up there. Be bold enough to ask them what they felt when they young and they met each other. Also, make tell them that you need to grow up and learn about what a relationship is about.
You're in love and nothing should stop you. Make them see that you're very serious about this relationship and you want it to work between you.

Chances are,eventually they would find out and trust you less than ever and think your too immature to date if you have to go sneaking around.
I would sit them down and try to explain to them in terms that they can understand,simply that its different now a days and that you understand there concern but you think your mature enough to start dating and you have already developed feelings for a boy and are asking for the privlage of being able to date him.
