One week later:
Poppy's POV-
I woke up on Thursday morning to my phone going off, 'I see the light' blaring from the speakers, Benny's ringtone. I groaned and rolled over to answer it, unplugging it from the charger.
"Hello?" I said sleepily.
"Good morning flower!" He exclaimed through the phone.
I flinched and said, "Ugh too early for screaming Benny."
He laughed and replied, "Do you even know what time it is?"
"Uh, 7?" I said, running a hand through my hair.
"Nope, 7:30."
"What?!" I screeched, tossing my bed sheets away from me and running out of bed.
"You overslept again didn't you?" I could almost imagine the smirk on his face right now.
"Maaaybe." I said, rummaging through my closet for something to wear.
"Do I need to start setting an alarm for you?" He asked knowingly.
"Yeah that'd probably be best." I said in my Rapunzel voice, pulling on a purple dress.
He laughed again and said, "Alright I will."
"Okay I'm here." He said.
"M'kay be down in 5." I said, hanging up and tossing my phone on my dresser.
I ran to the bathroom to brush my teeth quickly and put on my makeup then slipped on some flats, grabbed my bag and phone, and rushed out of the room.
"Late again?" My mom said, peeking her head out from the kitchen to see me running down the stairs.
"Yup."
"It's a good thing you have Benny or you'd be a lost cause in the morning!" She yelled after me, causing me to blush and shut the door quickly.
I looked up to see Benny smirking and said, "I'm the reason you get up in the morning? I'm honored."
"Oh hush." I said, slapping him lightly.
He smiled and said, "At least you're getting faster at this, only took you 6 minutes to get out here this time. Cut off one minute and you're good!"
I rolled my eyes and reached out to grab him in a hug, my arms wrapping around his neck. He quickly hugged me back, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"But you know you did hang up on me without saying goodbye so I think I should get something for that." He said, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Oh alright, but it's only cause you're so cute." I said, pulling his head down to kiss him.
He pulled me closer to him, returning the kiss and tightening his grip around my waist.
He broke the kiss a minute later and smirked at me.
"Better?" I asked, smirking back at him.
"Definitely."
I laughed and grabbed his hand, saying, "C'mon lets go to school before we're even later."
"Alright." He said, descending down the stairs with me.
I finally took in his appearance, a blue tie and a yellow button up, and said, "Why you lookin all snazzy today?"
"Well today Ethan and I are submitting our idea to the yearbook committee today." He said, smirking.
"The one about using your guys' gaming avatars as your yearbook pictures?" I said, giving him a weird look.
"Yes that one. And what's with the face?"
"Nothing, I was just uh, thinking about it." I said, trying to brush it off. I knew Benny loved video games and everything about it so I wouldn't admit that I didn't like the idea.
"Oh don't worry Poppy, we'll find you an avatar as awesome as mine." He said, putting his arm around my shoulder.
"Greeeaaat." I said, biting my lip.
This was going to be an interesting day.

I was at my locker at school, putting away my books when I saw Benny walking down the hall, now changed into a purple and white striped polo, with a dejected look on his face. I quickly shut my locker and went over to him saying, "Sooo, how'd it go?"
He groaned and said, "They shot down our idea. They're gonna take photos using an old camera instead."
"Wait, the one you sold them?"
"Yeah! This sucks."
"Aw," I said, giving him a hug, "I'm sorry that your idea got rejected."
"It's alright." He said, wrapping his arms around me and hugging me back.
"Well at least you liked my idea." He said, burying his face in my hair.
"Yeaahh..." I trailed off.
"Well we should get to class before we're late." He said, pulling back and starting to lead me to class.
"Yeah." I said, following him and feeling a bit guilty.

"So listen, Hannah was really nice to me and asked if she could, confide in me." Ethan said, leaning towards us.
We were all in class right now, Benny and Ethan side by side and me in the seat in front of Benny, and Ethan was complaining about girl troubles with Hannah.
"Dude it's a trap." Benny said.
"I knew it! The next time I saw her, she swore like my dad in traffic!"
"There are two sides to every girl, like a coin. Heads, she's crazy. Tails, same as heads." Benny said, leaning back in his seat.
"Hey! Not true." I retorted, glaring at him.
"Huh." Ethan said, looking out the door.
I followed his gaze and saw Hannah talking to a girl, complimenting her skirt.
Benny looked at Ethan and said, "Heads."
I narrowed my eyes at him and followed Ethan's gaze again, looking out the other door and seeing Hannah knock the books out of some kid's hands and start laughing evilly.
We all had shocked looks on our faces and Benny said, "Tails. Good luck with that."
"Are you trying to say I'm crazy too?" I said, looking at Benny who was writing something down in his binder.
"Uhh, no?" He said, sounding more like a question.
"Wow." I said, turning around in my seat angrily.
I'm gonna remember that.

At lunch:
Ethan, Benny, and I were all sitting at a table eating lunch when we saw Hannah get up and throw something at Rory's face.
"Yes! Now that was a three pointer." She smirked evilly, "Who else wants some of this?"
There was definitely something wrong with that girl. Can you say bi-polar?
"If she asks you out, you better say yes." Benny said, slightly scared.
Ethan nodded shortly and suddenly looked a bit intimidated and scared, looking behind me.
I turned around and saw Hannah starting to get up and walk towards us.
"She sees us! What do we do?" Ethan asked nervously.
"Just act natural." I said, trying to calm him down.
"Well I'm naturally nervous so that should be easy." He replied, taking his hands off the table.
Suddenly Hannah slammed her hands down on the table right next to me and said, "Baby still crying because he can't be superman in the yearbook?"
"Superman? Please. He's a bit too retro. A little too, old school." Benny said, leaning back in his seat.
She scoffed and grabbed his tray dumping the contents on his lap.
"Aww. And it was such a nice nerd shirt." She said, smirking.
She started to walk away and I stood up quickly and turned her around saying, "Excuse me? Nobody pours food on my boyfriend and gets away with it."
"Oh that's right, he has a pathetic little girlfriend, what's your name again? Poopy?" She said, putting her hand on her hip.
I started laughing instantly.
"Wow, worst comeback ever. What are you a kindergartener?" I said, crossing my arms in front of me.
She glared at me and said, "Well at least I'm not a whore and start kissing guys the day I meet them. Are you really that desperate?"
I clenched my fists and said, "No actually I'm not desperate at all. But at least I'm not covered in milk."
She gave me a confused look and I quickly grabbed both of my milks and poured them all over her head.
She screamed and I pulled back my hands when they were empty, saying, "Oops."
"You little-"She started.
"Save it. You better go get cleaned off before it stains." I said, smirking at her.
"Ugh!" She groaned loudly and stomped out of the cafeteria.
All eyes were on me and they immediately started clapping, saying stuff like, "You rock Poppy!" and "Way to put her in her place Poppy!"
I smiled and sat back down in my seat, dropping the empty cartons on my tray.
Ethan and Benny were both staring at me, their jaws dropped in shock.
"Did you really just?" Ethan said, still in shock.
"Pour milk all over her and make her look stupid? Yup." I said, proud of myself.
"Wow." Benny said.
"Nobody messes with my boyfriend and friends and gets away with it." I said, picking at my food.
"Thanks Poppy." Ethan said, smiling.
"No prob."
I waited for Benny to say something but nothing came out of his mouth so I just said, "Uh well I'm gonna go….get something from my locker, see you guys in class." Then I got up and threw all the trash on my tray away, and walked out of the cafeteria.
'I just stood up for Benny and he can't at least thank me for it or something?' I thought, running a hand through my hair and feeling a bit disappointed.
"Poppy wait up!" I heard a familiar voice yell and turned around to see Benny running up to me.
"Yes?" I said.
"What you did back there was…awesome, and I'm sorry I didn't say anything at first but I was just really shocked that you would stand up for me like that."
"Why are you shocked? I really like you and I would do anything for you Benny." I said softly.
"I really like you too," He said, taking my hands in his, "And I would do anything for you too. I was just shocked because I don't think anyone has really ever stuck up for me before."
"Well just know that I always will." I said, smiling up at him and twining our fingers together.
He returned the smile and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." I said and leaned up to kiss him.

It was after school and Benny and I were currently sneaking into the dark room to get revenge on Hannah (totally all Benny's idea), because Benny wanted to take a picture of his butt.
"I really hope we don't get caught doing this." I said looking around as we entered the room.
"Don't worry this will only take a second." Benny said.
I shut the door quickly as Benny said, "Dark room? More like red room."
He started laughing to himself and I just rolled my eyes at his lame joke.
He turned to see the old camera and said, "Alright, time for a little revenge photo, princess, courtesy of Thor Angerheart." then grabbed the clicker that you use to take the picture.
"Wow." I said, leaning on the table behind him.
He turned around and stuck out his butt, making a weird face, and took the picture.
"Woah." I said, covering my eyes after the flash went off, "That was bright."
I was seeing little spots on everything and Benny said, "Alright let's get out of here."
I got my vision back and followed him out of the room then stopped, saying, "What now?"
He furrowed his eyebrow then his eyes shot over to me and he smirked then said, "Wanna go make out?"
I thought about it for a second then said, "Sure."
"Wait what really?"
"Yeah. I got nothing else to do." I said, shrugging.
"Alright!" He exclaimed happily and grabbed my hand, towing me over to an empty classroom.

The next day at school:
I was at my locker getting my stuff for the day when my locker was suddenly shut, scaring me.
I saw it was just Benny and sighed in relief and put a hand on my chest.
"Gosh Benny you scared me!" I laughed.
"Sorry babe." He said leaning against the locker next to mine.
I gave him a weird look, he never called me babe. I took in his appearance and saw he was wearing exactly what he was wearing yesterday, just with a leather jacket and a toothpick in his mouth.
"Whoa you look different."
"You like?" He said with a smirk.
"Yeah I guess. I like the leather jacket, makes you look like a bad boy." I laughed at the thought; Benny could never be a bad boy.
The smirk was still on his face and he suddenly grabbed me by the hips and pulled me against him.
"I say you and me ditch class and go find an empty room and have some fun." He said, kissing down my jaw.
I pushed him away lightly and said, "The only fun you're gonna be having is going to English and listening to our teacher read boring stories."
"Aw c'mon babe don't be like that." He said, trying to pull me back to him, "Please?"
He kept bugging me on and on so I groaned and finally said, "Alright but only this once."
He smirked in victory and started pulling me to the janitor's closet and I said, "But don't be getting any funny ideas, we're not doing anything other than kissing."
"Fine with me." He said, pulling me in the closet and shutting the door.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx
When I bell rang to get out of class, Benny and I finally emerged from the janitor's closet, me trying to fix my hair that Benny made a mess out of. I knew this probably looked wrong to other people but I didn't care because we didn't do anything wrong. I started walking with Benny to our lockers but stopped dead in my tracks when I saw something. I probably got whiplash from looking back and forth so much but I didn't care. I was in so much shock that I felt like fainting.
"How the hell are there two Benny's?"
