Ethan's P.O.V:
As I walked out of the classroom, I waved goodbye to Jane, she smiled and waved back. I turned round and as I did, I crashed face-first into somebody's chest, at first I was terrified that it was a Jock or someone like that, and that I was about to get a face-full of fist. But when I quickly looked up at the person, I realised it was just Benny.
"Ugh, Benny! How many times have I told you to stop doing that!" I said harshly to him.
"Ethan, who is that girl?" Benny asked curiously totally avoiding my question.
"That's Jane, she is my partner-"
"Partner! Dude she and you are 'partners'?!" Benny interrupted, obviously thinking us being 'partners' is us being 'a couple'.
"My partner for our music project." I said sternly back to him.
"Ohhh, dammit, so close!" He said throwing his fists down.
"See! I told you! Now pay-up!" Rory said triumphantly to Benny. Benny angrily shoved his hand in his pocket and pulled out some money. He harshly smacked the money into Rory's hand, and Rory smiled happily placing the money into his own pocket.
"What was that all about!?" I screeched, very confused.
"Oh, well Me and Benny saw you in the class room with that girl talking and Benny thought you guys where going out, but I said no way, Ethan could never just get a girl like that so easily" Rory explained to me plainly, I rolled my eyes but he carried on. "So we betted on it."
"You spied on me and then betted on it!?"
"Pretty much" Rory said bluntly.
"Yeah but I totally thought you could do it. But I was wrong." Benny sighed, and then he brightened up. "Dude! She is your partner for a project! You still got a chance! You just have to-"
"Benny, she is just my project partner. She seems really nice." I started and then began to whisper. "But you know who I like…"
"Oh, yeah. And she is coming your way. In 5, 4, 3-" Benny whispered looking straight forward.
"Benny, im not falling for that again." I said folding my arms.
"Hey guys!" a kind girl's voice said behind me. I jumped and turned around. I let out an "AH!" and then tried to calm down quickly. Cuz it was Sarah. And Benny was right. I heard a small chuckle coming from Rory and Benny, so I rolled my eyes.
"Hi Sarah" I said as calmly as I could.
"You okay? Sorry if I scared you" She said smiling.
"I-its fine, um no you didn't, im fine." I stuttered while speaking. She's so pretty. Its just, hard to talk to her normally. It's really annoying.
"Dorks" Erica greeted us standing next to Sarah.
"Babe" Benny said back to Erica with that goofy grin on his face.
Erica made a low hiss at Benny.
"Sarah, do we really have to talk to these nerds now? In a public place?"
"Come on Erica they aren't that bad, even if you are geeks" Sarah said nicely with a playful grin. This made me blush.
"Sucked in. you are getting sucked in, Sarah." Erica commented, Sarah rolled her eyes.
"I was just going to ask Ethan something." Sarah said looking at me. "Do your parents still need me to baby-sit you guys tonight? Im just making sure."
"Yeah, you still need you to baby-sit Jane tonight." I said back, because I don't need babysitting, though it may seem that way. Sarah giggled her sweet giggle that she does, making me blush again.
"Yeah, aha, okay. Cool, I will be there at 7" She said with a smile then walking off with Erica.
"Bye babe!" Benny shouted to Erica.
"Don't call me babe, dork!" Erica hissed back to him.
I watched Sarah as she walked down the corridor, right till I couldn't see her anymore, and then leaned against my locker and sighed.
"Damn dude, you got it bad for her." Benny said giving me a sympathetic smile.
"How do you do it? You just talk to Erica like that. And I can only just manage a sentence to Sarah" I said, depressed.
"Well, I dunno I guess…we are different people in that way. Don't worry E, you'll get the courage soon." He said back, patting me on the back.
"Yeah. I wish"
