A/N: Hey Folks! I'm back again with Chapter 2!
A/N: You know the drill, I DO NOT OWN Phineas and Ferb
A/N: I DO OWN Ben and Kristin
A/N: Enjoy!
Candace got off the bus and rushed to her first period Social Studies class. The bus was late due to an accident on the street that took a good 15 minutes to clear. She dashed into her seat, seconds before the bell rang. She breathed a sigh of relief as she sank in her seat. As the teacher began her lecture about the history of domestic violence, she heard a soft giggle erupt from behind her. Candace quickly turned to find Stacy on her phone.
"Stace!" she whispered, hoping not to attract any unwanted attention from the teacher. But her whispers fell upon deaf ears. Candace sighed heavily.
"Stacy!" she tried again.
Stacy shook her head, snapping her out of the world her phone had to offer her.
"Sorry," she apologized meekly.
"What's so funny?" Candace asked curiously, still keeping her voice barely audible.
"Well, I finally got a prom date!" she whispered excitedly, a wide grin across her face.
"Oh wow, that's great Stace!"
"Yeah, I know, this is going to be so much fun!"
"I bet! But…who is it?" Candace asked curiously.
"Oh, it's Ben."
"What?" Candace shouted, startling the class.
Candace quickly covered her mouth.
"Ms. Flynn, is there something you want to share with the class?" the teacher asked.
"Sorry…I…I was just surprised about that statistic," she answered meekly.
Satisfied with her explanation, the teacher turned around and continued lecturing.
"Are you serious?" Candace exclaimed quietly, "You know Ben just as well as I do, and he hates those kinds of things!"
"I know, but, come on, I was desperate. Everyone else was taken, and he just happened to be the only guy who was A: Single and B: Not going to Prom. Plus, you gotta admit, he's kinda cute."
Candace sighed heavily. She knew something was up. Now Benjamin Cho was one of the friends she would talk to often. In the two years they had known each other, they had grown somewhat close. This was mainly because he would be the only one to listen on about her teenage romance issues. And in that time, she knew the 18 year-old Asian-American male would never be caught dead at a dance. Heck, he even skipped homecoming and Sadie's, even though he was asked! She had to get to the bottom of it, and quickly. She quickly took her phone out and sent a text to Ben,
Need to talk to you at lunch, she texted.
A few seconds later, her phone vibrated. She quickly checked it.
K. Will be at Orquestra lockers, the reply read.
Candace closed her phone. As the hours passed, Candace could barely wait to get out of her 4th period class. As soon as the bell rang, she flew out of the classroom like a jet. She rushed her way down the hallway and made a left into the music building. The Music Building was a fairly small structure with three enlarged classrooms complete with lockers, white boards, and practice rooms. Candace followed the signs to the Orchestra hall, where students were just getting out of class. She pushed her way past the kids to Ben, the Asian-American teenager in a grey polo and Jeans. He twirled his large cello around as he conversed with another familiar Caucasian teen with sandy hair, a t-shirt and Jeans, George Stanton.
"Thanks George, I'll see you in a few." He called, ending his conversation with the sandy-haired teen.
He smiled as Candace walked up to his locker.
"What's up Candace?" he asked, plucking a few notes on his strings.
Candace looked around to ensure that they were alone before continuing
"So…Stacy told me that you were going with her to prom. Is…is that true?"
Ben nodded, "Yeah."
"Why? I thought you absolutely hated dances." Candace pressed.
Ben shrugged, "You know, I really can't tell yah that. Honestly I was going to pass on her on her offer."
"What stopped you then?"
"Honestly, I think it's just the fact that I'm too nice. Plus, I realized the reason why she was asking me."
"Why?"
"Well, a girl like her wouldn't be caught dead at Prom by herself. Since, well…you know…"
"Oh, so you heard about her and…"
"Yeah, I did. I'm hoping that this is just a mistake and that she and Coltrane'll be back before Prom."
"So do I," Candace muttered.
Ben looked to his watch.
"Sorry Candace, I have quartet practice in a few, just give me a call after school. I'll talk to Stacy after school, see if I can get her to change her mind."
"Alright, Thanks Ben. Have fun with your quartet…thingy."
Ben Chuckled, "Thanks Candace, try not to worry too much, eh?"
Candace giggled, "I won't."
She made her way out of the music building and into the cafeteria. She managed to get about 3 feet in the cafeteria before she noticed something different. There was a new face at her table. The girl had tan skin and jet black hair. When she smiled, her teeth were as white as pearls. Candace carefully took a seat next to Jeremy, who gave her a quick peck on the cheek.
"Who is she?" Candace whispered.
"Oh, that's Kristin." He answered.
"Oh, but why is she…"
"She's Coltrane's new prom date."
Candace watched in shock as Coltrane and Kristin flirted with each other in a push-and-pull motion. A large knot formed in the pit of her stomach. With each passing moment, she felt that she would never get Stacy and Coltrane to get back together.
A/N: So? How'd you like it? REVIEWS! Chapter 3 is on it's way
A/N: I'm probably going to make this a short story and keep it relatively simple.
