Rory POV:

As I round the corner, I find Benny standing there, a shocked and somewhat sad look on his face, my backpack at his feet. He sees me and changes his mood immediately; shifting to a fake happiness I can see through. I sigh before speaking.

"How much did you hear?" I say, crossing my arms over my chest and raising my eyebrows at him. He smiles sheepishly at me before sighing.

"Enough to know you were attempting to set me and him up."

"You're not mad?" I asked, surprise in my voice.

"I'm not. You could've told me you knew at least."

"I was going to if you showed any interest in Ethan. Which you do. So dude, I know you like guys," I say, laughing at him. He shakes his head before looking at me.

"I think me and Ethan could be good together," he says quietly, "but he never said if he liked me or not." My eyes widen as I think about it. Ethan didn't say it, but he kind of implied it right?

"Let's go to class. Flirt with him. Make him admit he likes you," I say, shrugging like it's the most obvious thing in the world. He just gawks at me before straightening himself and smiling a big goofy smile at me.

"I'll make that boy fall in love with me."

Ethan POV:

I sigh as I put my head on my desk. I still can't wrap my mind around it. My only friend, the only person I have allowed myself to get close to, is trying to set me up with his friend who may or may not like guys. I really did not expect my first day of senior year to go this way. I don't even bother to look up as I feel someone sit next to me. What the person does next catches my attention though.

They put an arm around the back of my chair, and effectively my shoulders. I look up to see Benny smiling at me. "Hi."

"Um. Hi," is all I can get out, not sure what's going on. I look to see Rory come sit on my other side, smiling as well. This can't be good.

So, I'm finishing this one right here for now. Hope I can get this one completely finished sometime soon as well as the other one[s] I am/will be posting.

Love to you all!
