Chapter 4: Later

Next Day At Lunch

Sarah's POV:

I walked into the cafeteria to see Ethan and Benny sitting and talking in hushed tones.. Hmm how suspicious, they obviously were hiding something from me. Maybe I was being to paranoid.

She was going to try and sneak up but Ethan somehow sensed her presences.

Ethan- Hey, Sarah.

His cheeks burned probably thinking about last nights kiss, I figured I should play this up as much as I can, I wasn't playing with his emotions because I liked him back… but this was some sort of reven- Did I just admit I like Ethan the geek? I looked up at him and he smiled. And that smile made my heart melt and I guess I did sort of have a thing for him, though I would never admit it.

Benny- Sarah? Sarah? He said waving a hand in my face.

Ethan- Sarah, are you ok?

His voice was full of concern and something else. Wonder? Suspicion? But he called my name and I wanted an excuse to look into his eyes. I looked up and he still looked concerned..

Sarah- Uh, huh? … Yeah im fine..

Benny- Didn't seem like it.

I watched as Ethan punched Benny and whispered "dude!" He was defending me, aww maybe I should send signals that im into him, before any of these vultures tried to snatch him up. So I Batted my eyelashes at him and flipped my hair over my shoulder, he just blushed a deep red. I smiled he looked so adorable.

Benny- I don't mean to interrupt whatever is going on between you two but Thalia told me to ask you Ethan if you thought she was pretty..

Was Benny doing this on purpose? Was he trying to ruin my chance? Well was trying to ruin our moment! I was so mad I just wanted to sink my fangs into- NO! No matter how mad I was I couldn't think thoughts like that. So I breathed deeply and asked the first question that popped into my mind.

Sarah- Who's taylor?

Benny- Thalia. T-h-a-i-l-a. He enunciated every letters.

Sarah- O-k

Ethan- Um, what do you mean she asked you that?

Benny- She said she had her eye on you and that she thought you were cute, and she wanted to know if you thought the same thing.

Ethan- Oh… What did he mean by that, I was really starting hate 'oh' but was glad he didn't say anything good he probably felt really awkward because I was there.

Benny- Oh, come on! Oh? Really? You know she's pretty smoking.

Ethan-Yeah, I guess she looks alright, but-

Then I see Benny gesturing to who I think is Thalia and she starts making her way over!

Ethan- I have my eye on another girl.

I choked on my substitute blood and Ethan look worriedly at me.

Ethan- Sarah are you ok?

Sarah- Yeah, yeah who were talking about?

Ethan- Um, can we talk about this later? he said as Thalia approached the table

Ethan's POV:

I can't believe I let that slip I was just really irritated that Benny ruined mine and Sarah's moment, but right now I was really mentally slapping myself. Sarah wanted to know who I was talking about and as a fast escape to end the subject before Thalia came over. She was pretty, I had to admit that but I was focused on Sarah ever since the kiss. I was determined to get her to be my girlfriend and I didn't want any distractions.

Thalia- Hey Benny, Ethan, and uhh Sasha?

Ethan- Her name is Sarah.

Sarah- Thank you Ethan. She said that in a very flirty way I had a feeling a chick fight would become inevitable in the near future. He said her name really fast, to avoid altercation. He then looked at his friend for help, but he was useless as usual. He sighed and changed the subject before the argument that was surely on it's way happened. He racked his brain for something .. A good topic… he got it, shopping! All girls loved shopping right? But Sarah didn't seem like the girly type.

Sarah- Ethan? Earth to Ethan?

She waved a hand in front of my face.

Ethan- Oh, right uhh your welcome! Uh listen guys I gotta go take care of something I'll see you later, especially you Sarah we need to talk.

With that said I smiled at Sarah, hoping Thalia would get the hint that I didn't like her as more than a friend, she smiled at me looks like my attempt was to no avail, but as I glanced back at Benny, Sarah, and Thalia they were all laughing about something.. I wonder what it was, I would just have to ask Sarah 'later'.

Later: At Ethan's House

The bell rang and I went to it expectantly, only to be shocked it was Sarah and she was really nervous. I wonder why.. Well I was going to try my best to make her feel relaxed. So invited her in and asked whats wrong?

Sarah- Nothing, it's just that we need to talk.

Ethan- Sure, bout what?

She seemed to be even more nervous and tensed. I was really worried now, what was on her mind?

Ethan- Is this about today, at lunch?

She let out a heavy sigh. And took some deep breaths.

Ethan- Sarah?

Sarah- Yes! Ok, Yes!

Ethan- Yes?

Sarah- Yes, this is about lunch and yesterday.

Ethan- Ok, yesterday first?

Sarah- Sure, but I have a question..

Ethan- Sure, what's up?

Sarah- Do you like Thalia because she's telling everyone that you guys are dating?
