MONDAY MORNING, ETHAN'S POV
"Hey! Ethan!" I heard someone call behind me. I turned to see Benny waving at me. I waved back, and he jogged over. "Hey." He said again.
"Uh, hi." I said as we started walking into the school building.
"You okay, man?" He asked.
"Well, yeah, it's just that you avoided me all weekend and-"
Benny cut me off. "Yeah, sorry about that. I was…" He drifted off. I glanced up at him. Benny, of all people, was blushing and smiling dreamily. He seemed to realize my existence again and grew stony-faced. "I have to go see someone about… homework." He patted me on the shoulder. "See you." With that, he crossed in front of me and walked down the other hall.
What was wrong with him? Blushing, smiling, missing Jacuzzi Time Machine? And, horror of horrors, telling bad lies? I shook my head and went to class.
