Ben was walking down the halls of his high school happier than he'd been in a while. Even happier than when he was able to save the world again with the omnitrix. Kevin had finally asked him out on a date! For the longest time Ben had been depressed and self-conscious because he thought that Kevin had loved Gwen and would never look at him that way.
When he came out of his thoughts, Ben had realized that everyone in the hall was staring at him and whispering under their breath, presumably about him. Ben groaned internally as he saw Cash, with J.T. close behind, coming towards him.
"Well if it isn't Tennyson, or should I say Gayyson?" Cash said.
"What do you want, Cash?" Ben asked, trying to not let the last part get to him.
Cash looked down at his smoothie and back up at Ben. A he put a hand on the lid Cash said, "Oh, just to talk, maybe have a drink." As Cash said that he removed the lid of his cup and splashed the smoothie all over Ben's black shirt and green jacket that had just been washed for his date with Kevin. Ben was devastated.
"Oops. Hope your boyfriend likes a fat slob."
Ben tried to ignore Cash, and he started for the exit when someone yelled, "Let's give Tennyson all the food he want!" Then people started throwing all kinds of food at him. There were all kinds of drinks and junk food, from steaming hot pizza to ice cold ice cream.
Ben ran out of the school crying with his head down. He just kept running as the food still came flying towards him from the school. He wished that Kevin was there to reassure him that it wasn't true, but he wasn't.
As soon a Ben made it to the trees near the school he turned into Big Chill and flew to a lake nearby. Once there he created an ice platform in the middle and turned back to normal and sat in the freezing cold cave, with no entrance, and curled up into a tight ball.
If only Ben had looked into the parking lot, then he would have seen his lover's green and black car with his lover standing next to it with a bouquet of red roses.
