Chapter 3

"Anna we need to talk." Ben says.

"No." I say.

"Yes Anna we need to talk." He says.

"I know we need to, i just don't wanna." I say.

"We need to talk, and now is the only time we can." Ben says.

"Fine, let's talk." I say.

"Okay, the only reason i kissed you, is because i like you Anna." Ben says grabbing my hand, so it looks like were holding hands.

"You do?" I say.

"Yes." He reply's.

"I don't know if i can come over after school Ben." I say.

"Please Anna don't let this change our friendship." He says.

"Okay Ben, i just have to do something first." I say, he nods, so i turn to him, i grab his other hand, i lean in and kiss him. We stay like that, until i pull away.

"I'm so sorry Ben." I say and i run away with my hands on my face.

"Anna!" He yells running after me. Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding. Two hours pass, and it's the end of the day. I'm at my locker getting my bag, and my books and as soon as i zip up my bag, i close my locker, lock it, and i turn around to see Ben.

"Are you ready to go?" Ben asks.

"Yeah." I say. We walk home and we pass my house.

"Look it's my house." I say pointing up to my mansion.

"Whoa! How old is that place!" He says.

"Um, 179 years old." I say.

"Wow, that's old." He says.

"I know." I say. We keep walking and we finally make it to his house, i text my mom to tell her i'm at Ben's house.

"So..." He says.

"Can i see your room?" I ask.

"Sure." He says. Ben takes Anna to his room.

"Wow, this is your room!" Anna says.

"Yes, it is. This is my room." Ben says, gesturing around his room.

"It's beautiful." I say.

"Just like you." Ben says, he brings his hand up like he did earlier then he starts to bring it down.

"I'm sorry i won't let that happen again." He says continuing to bring his hand down, i grab his hand, and her looks at me in shock.

"Won't let what happen again Ben?" I ask.

"I won't let my emotions, take over, i doesn't matter how much i wanna," He stops. I must have shown him i'm confused.

"I'm sorry, i can't tell you." Ben says.

"Please Ben." I look in his eyes and try to show him i'm okay with what he has to say, but he still won't tell me.

"No, i'm sorry." He says bringing his head down.

"Ben? Why won't you tell me?" I ask him. Leaning down to see his face.

"Because it's... personal." He says lifting his head up.

"Ben you can trust me, can't you?" I say.

"Yes but," he says but i interrupt him.

"Then Ben can't you tell me." I say. He stays quiet, i can't wait for him to talk, i wanna find out, so i sit on his bed, he follows, and i start to think. He was saying "I'm sorry i won't let that happen again." but, oh i know what he is talking about, he is talking about how he kissed me earlier, then he said, "I won't let my emotions, take over, i doesn't matter how much i wanna," but what does he really wanna do, wait, when he kissed me, and then came to talk to me at break, he said the reason he kissed me is because he was proud, to proud, and he let his emotions take over. Then he said it doesn't matter how much he wants to... wants to what? Oh! How much he wants to k-k-kiss me!

"Omg!" I yell jumping up off of Ben's bed.

"What? What's wrong?" He say getting up.

"Really that's what you meant! You could have just told me that!" I yell at him.

"Told you what?" He asks me.

"Really you don't remember?" I ask him. He shakes his head no.

"When you said you couldn't tell me that thing because it was personal. I know what you were going to say." I say to him crossing my arms. I see a drop of sweat drip down his face.

"I-I-I-I can explain Anna." He says.

"No need." I say.

"Wait, what do you think i was going to say." He says.

"I thought long and hard about it well i was sitting on your bed, and i came to conclusion that you were going say 'It doesn't matter how much i wanna kiss you.' is that correct Ben?" I say looking in his eyes again.

"Yes. It is correct." He says looking embarrassed. I notice that he looks embarrassed so i do all i can to make him feel better, i lean in and i kiss him.
