Chapter 2-Ethan's POV
After school, Benny came over to play video games. "Ready to have your butt kicked?" he asked cockily putting in Skull Crushers 3. "In your dreams," I said scoffing. "Hey, when's Sarah getting here?" he asked suddenly. "Bout a half an hour from now. Why?" He shrugged. "Either way... Let's play!"
"Okay now can we take a break?" I asked after losing a third time. "No way dude! I'm on fire!" Benny announced. "Ethan! Sarah's here!" my Mom called. "See? Breaktime," I said going to see my parents off.
When we got downstairs, Sarah walked in followed by Emily."Emily, hey!" Benny called walking over to her. "Hey. Sorry to intrude but-" He cut her off. "Poof me up a cupcake and we'll call it even?" he suggested. "You know, I'm starting to think your using me for my magic," Emily teased pulling out her wand and poofing him up an alien themed cupcake. "Never," Benny promised taking a bite. "Well they seem to be hitting it off,"Sarah said standing next to me. "I guess so," I said shrugging. "Ethan! Sarah! You guys feel like a movie?" Emily called so a bowl of popcorn was on the end table and a DVD was inserted. "You, my friend, are awesome!" Benny declared sitting down. "Nah, I'm just fattening you up to eat you," she teased and he laughed. "Oh, come on E. We're watching Galaxy Wars 3," Emily prompted. Now what geek could resist that? "Well that is the best one," I said hopping onto the couch
Emily's POV
"Bye Jane," I said to Ethan's sweet little sister as I put her to bed. "Bye Emily. Promise you'll come back over and help me with more spells?" I smiled."Of course." Then I waved and headed down the stairs.
"Thanks so much guys," I said when I got downstairs. "It's no problem," Ethan said shrugging. "Our pleasure," Benny added. I grinned and hugged them both. "Well,I should get home," I mumbled awkwardly when the two seemed abashed by my affectionate gesture. "I'll walk you," Benny offered. "Well, I was just going to transport myself there, but sure."
"It's peaceful here at night," I said blissfully taking in the dark sky and crescent moon. "Yeah, these type of nights are rare here," Benny said, agreeing. "So do you like it here?" he asked. I love it. I've always wanted my own Nerd Squad," I replied with a devilish grin. Benny opened his mouth to disagree. It was so unbearingly cute, in a fit of passion, I leaned over and kissed him full on the lips. "Sorry," I said quietly after we broke away. "It's okay," he said a look of shock on his face. "Maybe I will transport home. Later." He nodded. "Later." And with a wave of my wand I was at my front door.
