I was unsure about telling her so directly. She must have read my thoughts because Sarah then asked, "What if we play the guessing game? I say a name and you just say yes or no. Okay Ethan?"
"Sounds great." I said nodding my head.
"Mike?"
"No, too mean." I shook my head.
"How about Hunter?"
"Nope"
"Trenton?"
"Who?" I asked.
"Just another jock." Sarah said rolling her eyes.
"How about you try people we both know?" I asked trying to makle it easier on both of us.
"Okay then. Is it Rory?" Sarah cocked her head to the left, slightly.
"Nah, he's too out there. You know? Always hitting on every chick in sight." I said. I don't think I have ever thought of Rory that way. And I don't think I want to start. I slightly frowned. Her eyes bulged and by the look on her face I knew what she was thinking.
"Oh, my god! I know who it is! How the hell could I not know that? I feel so stupid."
I blushed. I had no clue of what else I could possiblly do. I felt embarrassed.
"It's Benny. Isn't it?" She said smiling. I nodded.
"Oh, Ethan." She hugged me. "You two would be such a cute couple."
"Yeah, I think so too. But...I don't know if he likes me or not, and I don't think I would be able to handle rejection from him. If he were to reject me It would kill me. IT would ruin our friendship and I don't think I could live without him. And I honestly meen that."
"Oh, Ethan." She looked at me. "I don't think you like Benny. Ethan. I think your in love." She gave a gentle smile.
