Life wouldn't be too hard. Except for the fact that there was the supernatural at every turn, visions, and oh yeah, he might be in love with his best friend. EthanxBenny. My Babysitter is a Vampire.

I walked over to my locker, and as usual, Benny followed, spewing more comic book talk.

"Are you serious! Jean is way better than Rogue! She can pick things up with her mind!"

"Yeah, I guess. Hey, I gotta get to class. See you in a bit, Benny."

"That's it? Seriously? You're just going to give up? We can spend hours debating topics like this. What's up?"

"Nothing, I just need to get to Science. Another tardy and I'll be sitting in detention."

"Whatever, man," I felt bad. I loved debating with Benny. I just had some thinking to do. Ever since that day when Benny made the love potion, I can't get his face out of my head. He's my friend, but it's more than that..I just feel different. And when I touch him, the visions I get aren't normal. I get flashes of me hugging him, holding his hand. I was starting to worry. I can't tell the only person I trust, of course, because that's Benny. I'm not quite sure what to do.

And, of course, Benny likes girls. He mentions them about every chance he gets, almost as much as Rory. I could never tell him. He'd freak out, get uncomfortable, stop being friends with me. It's not normal. I couldn't even tell him anyway. I can't even talk to girls, where it's normal, let alone talk to a guy, when it's abnormal. I guess I'll just try to push him out of my head.

"Hey, pal. Dodge the old detention slip? I'm going to re-open the X-Men debate at your house later. That is, if I can crash?" And of course, Benny sleeps over. He always gets a sugar high and crashes. I could barely resist sliding in next to him last time. Him laying there with his sleepy face and cute nose...

"Um, Ethan? Did you go to some other planet without me?" Benny said as he waved his hand in front of my dazed looking face.

"Oh, yeah. Just dazing off, you know. I'm so bored. I'm doing all I can to keep from falling asleep."

"I know, dude. The substitute for Biology somehow made it even more boring! I'm gonna need some serious gaming time later. You in?"

"Yeah. What game?"

"Legend of the Zombie-Vampire Invaders: Ninja Lord meets Green Lantern." The look on his face might've been the most adorable thing I've ever seen. But I shook it off.

"I have no idea what you just said, but I think I heard the word 'zombie' so I'm in."

"Sweet! I'm bringing 3 two-liters of soda, 4 bags of chips, 2 bottles of chocolate syrup, 1 bag of marshmallows, an extra-large pizza, and 6 chocolate bars. We'll need energy won't we?"

"Haha, yeah, but not enough for 16 people. We'll be up until Christmas!" Benny smiled maniacly.

"Precisely."

"Okay, man. See you after school."

"See ya"
