Things I never knew could happen
Chapter 2:Giving it a chance
Erica's POV
I woke up tiredly my mind replaying the teasing and passionate kiss that Benny and I had yesterday,I took the rubber band out my hair letting my blonde locks sit on my shoulders.Rinng Rinng I picked up the phone sitting on my dresser."Hello?"I asked slowly hanging my legs off the bed,"Hey Erica can we talk?"I sighed as my mind replayed the kiss once again,listening to Benny's voice only made it worst."Um...sure,call my phone...don't really feel comfortable on my house phone...my mom could pop in at any moment."I chuckled nervously and ran my fingers threw my hair."Sure."I hung up the phone and put it back on the hook before running downstairs,my mom was sitting on the couch watching TV,"Mom,what is it again that I did?You know...to get grounded."She muted the TV."Well,first have you seen your report card,I've been getting calls from your teachers about you flirting with guys and kissing them,feeling on their stomach."I rolled my eyes and narrowed my eyebrows finally realizing what she said."How is that even possible,the only guys I've been with is Mike and Benny...Ethan just now popped into the picture."Well,your teacher have called." two years have been a pain in the ass,watching you and Mike make out against your will,Mike kiss you against your will."My mind replayed that and I nodded."I understand...so can I talk on the phone Benny needs to speak to me?"She nodded,as long as it's not Mike."I nodded and my phone rang almost on cue."Nice talk mom."I say before taking my phone out my pocket,seriously I think I'm the only one that sleeps with their phone in their pocket."Hello?"I asked going to the kitchen."Hey,so what does this mean for us?" "Benny,it was just a small kiss."I said as I poured cereal into a bowl."Erica,you didn't want to pull away I could tell." "That's just like me saying I'm in love with Ethan because how I act around him." "True...Erica...why don't we go out." "What do you mean...go out?"I grabbed a spoon and went to the steps,after carefully making my way to the top I opened my room door and sat at my desk."What do you mean go out?"I asked again."You seem to not like the idea of golfing so maybe we could see a movie." "Witch movie?" "Romance,romantic comedy?"Wow...I thought."Fine,sure whatever." "You don't seem to like the idea that much."His voice was slightly sad."We've been friends for two years,I just don't want anything to corrupt our friendship."He groaned and I heard a loud knock on the other end."Zeke go away!"I giggled and logged onto my computer,after putting ear buds in I sighed and started typing my report."What are you doing?" "Typing a report so I wont fail." "So lame."Benny chuckled and I rolled my eyes."One day,I would love to see you fail,you don't even study and you have amazing grades." "Well,that's because teachers and I have a little deal made out." "Okay if your going to be disgusting."I said disgusted,"Erica,what dirty mind." "Well someone would think that if a pervert like you have nothing but female teachers."I opened my drawer and took out a sheet of paper,"I'm sorry."He say playfully."Yea,I forgive you." "I need a drive to the book store, need us to pick up this book for our report." "Woah,you have two reports,tough,sure I will be there in ten,just write down the address so I can pull it up in the GPS." "Okay."I hung up my phone and ran downstairs."Mom,can I go to the book store with Benny?"She looked up and nodded."Sure,how far away?" "Scaleville."(Don't know if that's actually in Canada just making up things.) "Um..sweetie that's kinda far." "Well it's the only book store near White Chapel and I need to get this report done." "Who are you going with again?" "Ben."She sighed."Sure...it's suppose to rain really hard so be careful." "Okay sure."I sat down next to her awkwardly."Um...so sweetie I noticed you and Benny are getting kinda close." "Nothing is going on mom." "Sweetie,I can't really believe that,I noticed you and Benny holding hands,cuddling,even when you were with Mike." "Um...and?" "Well...you and Benny act like magnets,he move,you move."I sighed and slumped down."Is that bad?" "Well,considering you two aren't in a relationship." "So I'm a slut is what you're saying?" "No...who called you that?" "I kinda kissed Benny,um...more passionate than intended...and Mike called me a slut...Benny was going to get in a fight because of me."She nodded and I starred at the TV for a while.Beep Beep.I stood up slowly and smiled."There's Benny."When I opened the door Benny was already at the door,his jacket swung over his shoulder as his leg crossed between the other,he leaned on the door frame and smiled."Hello beautiful,bet Mike never complimented you."I rolled my eyes and pushed and out the door way."Here's the address."I said slipping the paper across the car he grabbed it hesitantly,and looked at the paper,I smiled when he read the back."I'm willing to give it a shot."He read slowly,he smiled and looked up at me."That's a nice way of telling me we're dating." "No no no."I said quickly."I'm not dating ...going on a date...like,movies I guess."He smiled."Good enough."I opened the door slowly and we both got in we arrived at the bookstore Benny was the first to get out the car,he walked over and opened the door,he intertwined our fingers and we walked in.I seen Jessica standing in the session where the book I needed was."Hey Jess."I released our hands and walked over to her."Hey!I've not seen you in like...days?" " ...I have no excuse.S what's going on people's saying you and Benny are together."I raised my eyebrows and confusion."Where did you hear that?" "All over the school,Mike's calling you a whore because you made out with Benny in Captain D's."I rolled my eyes and glanced at Benny who had a slight smirk."That's true but it meant nothing,I was just trying to calm Benny down,Mike came in and kissed a red head and Benny was like instantly angry."She nodded and handed me the book."I can't believe we have to pay ten dollars for a project."I mumbled,when we approached Benny,he took out a twenty dollar bill and handed it to me."What's this for?" "Your book." "No...no I'm fine."He grabbed the book from me and gave it to the cashier."Benny...I said I'm fine." "I know."He stroked my hair before taking the change and stuffing it into his back pocket."Here's your book,later Jessica." "Later,bye Erica."
Next Day Benny's POV
I dropped my tray of food next to Erica as an attempt to trick her so I wouldn't have to eat."Lunch is pretty good today?" "Um...sure."She narrowed her eyebrows."I'm not eating." "Why not,you need to eat something." "And I will." "Okay...so I thought about the perfect date." "Aren't I suppose to be the one to plan dates?"She hesitantly put a fry in her mouth chewing it slowly,after a few seconds she grabbed a napkin and spit the food in it."Oh god."She groaned."Want to go out again?" "No...no I'm fine I will eat at home."I hugged her and she smiled."What was that for?"Her hazel greenish eyes even looked beautiful when she was confused."Why did you hug me?" "I feel bad you have to eat this disgusting food,let me buy you lunch." "Like that's going to make a difference go ahead."She said finally giving in."Alright,I'll be back okay."She nodded and I stood up,the line only had three people in it,"We have an emergency."I felt my shoulder being grabbed and soon I was out of the cafeteria." "What?" "Erica's gift...it's finally coming in."
