AGAIN I DON'T OWN ANYTHING BUT MY OC's
(NO ONES POV)
"Okay," Belle said as she was rushing to grab her purse. "Please, again, tell Mal that we are sorry for not being there for her last performance," she said as she ran up to Ben who was holding Rosie in his arms and Hadie was standing next to him.
"Belle," Haden said as she helped Seph with her coat. "We already told Mal that we were sorry, and she even told us not to worry about it. We went to four of the six shows and she said that was more than enough," he said.
"That's true," Seph said. "Mal told us she only expected us to go to one of them," she said with a giggle.
"Okay, okay," Belle said as she put her coat on. "I just hate that your firm had to throw their Christmas party tonight," she grumbled.
"Belle, it's my firm and we are leaving next weekend," Adam said as she shook his head and laughed. "Plus, you're dragging Seph and Haden with you so you don't get stuck talking to all the stuck up wives of my employees," he said.
"Okay," she said with a chuckle. "Let's go so that Ben, Rosie, and Hadie can head to the school."
They all walked out of the house and locked the door on the way out. Ben strapped Rosie into her carseat while Hadie hopped into the passenger seat.
"Drive safe," Seph said as they drove past Ben.
"I will," he said with a smile, and waved as they drove away.
Ben hopped into the driver's seat of his Jeep and buckled up.
"You two ready?" he asked.
"Yes, yes yes yes yes," Rosie said as she tried to bounce up and down in her seat, making Ben and Hadie laugh.
Ben pulled out of the driveway and made his way to the school. When he pulled into the parking lot of the school, it did not surprise him to see his friends waiting by the entrance. They got out of the car, Hadie helped Rosie out of her seat, and put her on his back as they walked to the group.
"You guys came to the final showing?" Ben asked, as they stopped in front of the group.
"Duh!" they all said, making Ben laugh.
They walked toward the auditorium, but Ben froze when he saw Anthony walking toward them with his parents walking behind him.
"Aunt Anastasia?" Chad said as he walked up to his aunt, uncle, and cousin. "What are you doing here?" he asked as he gave Anthony a glare.
"We brought Anthony," Chad's uncle Jacob said as he gave Anthony a disappointing look. "To give an apology to the girl he was very inappropriate to yesterday," he said.
"That girl was Ben's girlfriend," Chad said. "Did he not mention that?"
Anastasia gave her son a small glare. She knew Ben and Anthony couldn't stand each other, but now knowing that it was Ben's girlfriend made her even more angry at her son.
"No," Anastasia said. "No, he didn't. I, for one, am sorry for what my son did to Mal, Ben."
Ben looked at Chad's aunt. "I want to say it's fine, but I can't. What he did was wrong, especially because Mal had told him to leave her alone," he said. "Plus, I'm not the one you need to apologize to. You apologized to Mal, and it's up to her if she wants to accept it. We have our differences, and that may never change, but thank you for apologizing to Mal."
Anthony gave a stiff nod but didn't meet Ben's eyes. Jacob shoved Anthony toward the parking lot, leaving Anastasia standing with the eleven kids.
"Mal is a beautiful young woman," Anastasia said, making Ben look at her. "She is very kind, too," she added, making Ben smile. "I've known you since you were so little, and I always wanted all of you boys to end up with someone special. I'm glad that you found your someone special," she said before she squeezed his shoulder and walked in the direction of her son and husband.
"Yeah, a special boyfriend stealer," they heard coming from behind them.
They all turned to see Audrey standing with two of her friends.
"What the he… heck are you doing here?" Uma started, but stopped when she remembered that Rosie was with them as she walked over to Audrey.
"For your information, I'm not here by choice," Audrey said. "I'm here because I have some extra credit to do for English, and your Mrs. Anderson had this as an extra credit assignment."
"Cool. My mom gave you a chance to do extra credit. Whatever," Ben said as he walked up and crossed his arms in front of himself. "But let's go back to where you called my girlfriend a boyfriend stealer," he said.
"I'm sorry," Audrey said. "Did I say something wrong?"
"Well, the fact that you're calling Mal a boyfriend stealer, for one," he said.
"What else am I supposed to call her?"
"She has a name," Jay said.
"She's a nobody," Audrey retorted.
"You're a meanie!" Rosie yelled from behind Hadie. "I don't like you! Mally is nicer, and I am happy Benny broke up with you!" She yelled, making Audrey look at the little girl in shock.
"Seems I'm not the only one with good taste," Ben said as he walked past Audrey.
Once everyone was in the auditorium waiting to be seated, Ben took Rosie off Hadie's back and held her in his arms.
"I'm very proud of you," he told her. "I am very glad that you stood up for someone you love."
"I love Mally. She's my bestest friend," she said, making Ben smile.
"Yeah," he said. "I love Mally too."
Ben went to every show to support Mal. He would change seats every week because he wanted to sit close to Mal when she sat in the audience, but every show she sat in a different spot. After they sat down, Ben noticed that Audrey sat in a different row, but not that far from them. Ben shook his head, but once the show started, he put all of his attention onto his girlfriend.
Oh, this is the greatest show
Everyone in the crowd was singing along with the cast. And when the curtains opened Ben's eyes automatically found Mal, who was dancing off to the side of the stage.
[CARLOS]
(Whoa) colossal we come these renegades in the ring
(Whoa) where the lost get found and we crown them the circus kings
[ENSEMBLE and CARLOS]
Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
It's blinding, outshining anything that you know
Just surrender 'cause you're calling and you wanna go
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, intoxicating you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watching it come true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
Ben watched as Mal started to swing around the stage, circling her fellow cast members. Whenever she did these routines, she looked so free and happy. Ben couldn't help but smile, watching her. After Mal did her swing after Tony and Carlos sang their duet, Ben looked over at Audrey to see her gaping in shock at her ex-boyfriend's girlfriend. He would look every time to see the state of shock she was in, and it made him smile, knowing that she was now eating her words.
[CARLOS and RUBY]
It's everything you ever want
It's everything you ever need
And it's here right in front of you
This is where you wanna be (this is where you wanna be)
It's everything you ever want
It's everything you ever need
And it's here right in front of you
This is where you wanna be
This is where you wanna be
[ENSEMBLE, RUBY, MAL and CARLOS]
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
Carlos ran to the side of the stage to switch places with Tony, but I kept my eyes on my beautiful girlfriend, swinging around the stage like a beautiful angel.
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watching it come true, it's taking over you
[TONY]
This is the greatest show
Tony slid across the stage for the last time while Carlos ran up the aisle with Jane and the girls.
[ENSEMBLE]
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the walls can't stop us now
I'm watching it come true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
Everyone was up and out of their seats, singing and dancing with the cast. Jay picked Rosie up so that she was able to watch the rest of the show. Ben was watching as Mal landed gracefully next to Tony and they started to dance.
[TONY and MAL]
'Cause everything you want is right in front of you
And you see the impossible is coming true
And the walls can't stop us (now) now, yeah
[ENSEMBLE]
This is the greatest show (oh!)
This is the greatest show (oh!)
This is the greatest show (oh!)
This is the greatest show (oh!)
This is the greatest show (oh!)
This is the greatest show (oh!)
This is the greatest show (oh!)
This is the greatest show (oh!)
This is the greatest show
Tony dipped Mal and pressed his lips to hers for the last time. Not that Ben was complaining, but watching his girlfriend being kissed by another guy, even though he is gay, is not something he doesn't have to enjoy. The curtain closed and when it opened, the entire cast was on stage, holding hands and bowing to the crowd. The crowd cheered as the cast kept bowing, and then Mal ran off to the side of the stage. When she appeared again, she came out arm and arm with Mrs. Coggs. She led her to the middle of the stage and bowed to the teacher, making her blush. Tony walked forward with a big bouquet of wildflowers.
"I would like to thank each and every one of you for attending our last performance, and I couldn't be prouder of the hard work and effort these children have put into this show for the past months," Mrs. Coggs said as she started to get choked up.
"None of this would have been possible without you," Carlos said as he walked up to Mrs. Coggs and gave her a hug.
"You are the heart and soul of this play, and we have you to thank for giving us this opportunity," Mal said. Tony cleared his throat, making Mal shove him and laugh. "Okay, you made me audition, but Mrs. Coggs is the one who gave me the role, so shush," she said, making the crowd laugh.
"I have had the honor of working with each and every one of you, and I thank you all for being such a joy and pleasure," she said as she looked at everyone on the stage. "Brava!"
She started to bow to her cast, making them all slime. The curtain closed for a last time, letting everyone know that they were allowed to leave. The group walked out of the auditorium, with Jay still holding Rosie in his arms so that they didn't lose her, and walked outside.
"Okay," Ben said, as he stopped outside, making everyone turn to him. "I'll take my sister now."
"But, you a butthead," Rosie pouted as she latched onto Jay's head, making him laugh.
"Fine. I'll take Mally and Hadie to dinner and you can go with Jay," Ben said with a smirk.
"No," Rosie said as she climbed down from Jay's shoulders and ran to wrap her arms around Ben's legs.
"That's what I thought," Ben said as he picked her up and threw her in the air.
"Don't break my favorite girl," Mal said as she walked up to her boyfriend and friends.
"Look!" Ben said as he lifted Rosie over his shoulder. "It's one of the three of my favorite girls," he said with a smile as he leaned down to kiss Mal. "You did amazing."
"You say that every week," she said.
"Doesn't make it any less true," he said with a cheeky smile.
Mal laughed as she hugged Ben's side.
"So, I overheard the talk of food?" She questioned, looking up at him, making him laugh.
"Yeah," he said, nodding his head. "Are you ready?"
Mal nodded her head.
"Do you guys want to join?" He asked as he turned to his friends.
"Thanks, but Jordan and I are taking Dizzy to dinner," Chad said.
"I'm taking Evie to dinner, too," Doug said as he kissed the side of Evie's head.
"Ruby and I are going on our first date," Gil said.
"And the four of us are going to the movies," Uma said as she gestured to herself, Harry, Jay, and Lonnie.
"Oh, well. Okay," Ben said as he laced his hands through Mal's. "We'll see you guys on Monday," he said as he waved his and Mal's hands because the other was holding Rosie still.
The group of four walked to Ben's Jeep. Mal took Rosie off of Ben's shoulders and strapped her into her seat before walking around to the back of the car and throwing her bag into the trunk. Ben started the car and once Mal was in he laced his fingers through his again.
"I heard you had a visitor before the show," he said as he pulled out of the parking spot.
"Oh you did, did you?" She asked, making Ben squeeze her hand.
"I did," he said as he brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it.
"Yes, I did. Anthony and his parents came," she said. "It wasn't the best apology someone was to get, but you could also tell it was more forced than anything," she said with a chuckle.
"He's not one for apologies," Ben said.
"I saw a certain someone in the audience tonight," she said, making Ben groan a little.
"Yeah. She was there for extra credit," he said.
"And to run her mouth," Hadie said.
"What did she say now?" Mal asked.
"What do you mean 'now'?" Ben asked.
Mal sighed. "Audrey has been trying to run her mouth around school about me," she said. "Trying to convince people that you cheated on her with me or that I stole you from her."
"What?!"
"Don't get your fur ruffled," Mal said. "She was spreading both of the rumors around so much they blew up in her face. It got to Evie and Uma and they asked her which one it was. Did you cheat on her with me or did I steal you?" She said with a chuckle. "They said she didn't know what to say when they caught her in a lie, but they said she turned as red as a tomato."
"Why didn't I hear about it?"
"I don't know. It didn't last long," she said. "After the first time nobody believed a word that came out of her mouth. They just thought she was full of it, but what did she say today?"
"She said you were a boyfriend stealer," Hadie said. "But guess who yelled at her," he said with a smirk.
Mal looked at Ben, who shook his head.
"Uma?" she asked, making both boys shake their heads.
"Jordan?"
"Nope."
"Doug?" she asked, trying to think of someone obscure.
"No," Ben said. "Think of someone younger."
Mal gave her brother a look before he looked at the sleeping 5-year-old asleep in her booster seat.
"Rosie?" she asked in shock, making the two guys nod. "What did she say?"
Ben laughed. "And I quote, 'You're a meanie. I don't like you! Mally is nicer, and I am happy Benny broke up with you,'" he said.
Mal looked at them in shock. She didn't expect Rosie to say something like that to anyone, but she knew Rosie wouldn't have done it unless she was really mad. She reached over and shook Rosie's leg as Ben parked in front of a small restaurant.
"Princess," she called, making Rosie stir. "Hey, princess. Can you wake up for me?"
Rosie slowly opened her eyes and gave Mal a weak, tired smile.
"Are we here?" She asked, as she yawned and looked out the window.
"Yeah, but can I talk to you?" Mal asked.
Rosie nodded, unbuckled her seat, climbed over the middle console, and onto Mal's lap.
"You know I am happy that you stood up for yourself when you yelled at Audrey, but it wasn't very nice," Mal said.
"But she was saying mean things about you," Rosie said with a pout.
"I know, but it's not nice to yell at people," she said.
"I know. I'm sorry. I promise not to do it again," she said.
"That's my girl," Mal said before she hugged Rosie.
Ben understood where Mal was coming from, but he also knew where Rosie was coming from. He had a temper when it came to people being mean to people he cared about.
"Okay. Are we ready?" Ben asked, as he opened his door.
"Yeah, let's go."
(MONDAY)
"So, you guys are seriously not going to winter formal this weekend?" Harry asked as he sat down in front of Ben and Mal at lunch.
Ben and Mal looked up from their French textbook and shook their heads.
"Why?" He asked.
"Well…"
"Ben didn't ask me," Mal said, making Ben look at her with wide eyes.
She looked back at him with a smirk on her face, making Ben shake his head and laugh.
"I'm sorry, babe. Will you go to the winter formal with me?" Ben asked.
"I'm sorry. I'm going to be out of the country," she said as she looked back at her book.
"Wow…" Ben said with raised eyebrows. "You could have just said you didn't want to go with me, or at least used a better excuse," he said in amusement.
"Okay. Okay," Harry said. "I forgot you guys are leaving for Paris. Sue me."
The couple laughed at their friend before going back to studying for their French final.
"I'm sorry to disturb you," Mrs. Coggs said as she walked up to the table. "But can I borrow Ben, Harry, Jay, Chad, Carlos and Doug for a moment?"
"Oh, sure," Ben said as he stood up and walked toward her.
The rest of the guys followed Mrs. Coggs toward the main building of the high school.
"What do you think she needed?" Mal asked.
"I'm not sure, but they better be back soon, because lunch is almost over and the boys left their bags," Uma said, making Mal laugh.
The ball rang about 10 minutes later, and the guys were still not back. Mal put her backpack on one of her shoulders and Ben's on the other and started to walk to chemistry with Uma, who did the same with Harry's backpack.
"Mal! Uma!" the girls heard as they were going to walk into their chemistry class.
They turned to see Ben and Harry running down the hallway toward them.
"Woah, guys," Mal said as they stopped in front of them. "Why are you sprinting? You're not going to be late," she said.
"Yeah, but we ran to the table, after the bell, and you guys were gone."
"Where did you think we were going to go?" Uma asked.
"Yeah, that's what I told Harry, but he kept running," Ben said as he kissed Mal's cheek and took his backpack off her shoulder. "Well, let's head in before we are actually late," he said as he wrapped his arm around Mal's shoulder and they walked into their class.
"So, what did Mrs. Coggs need you guys for?" Mal asked, as Ben pulled her chair out for her.
"She just needed us to help her move a couple of things in the auditorium," he said as he sat down.
"Oh, okay," she said as Mrs. K walked in.
The rest of the week, the guys were helping Mrs. Coggs at lunch with stuff in the auditorium. The girls didn't think anything of it, because they just thought they were moving heavy stuff around for her.
"Good morning, Auradon Knights," the girl over the intercom said as Ben and Mal were walking to their English class, hand in hand. "I hope you all had a great finals week, and are enjoying your last day of the semester before Christmas break starts," she said.
"Ew," they heard when they walked into their English class.
They both saw Rosie sitting at her mom's desk, looking at the couple with a gross look, and her tongue was sticking out.
"Hello to you too, Rosie," Ben said as he walked up to the desk with Mal.
"Mally, Benny has cooties," she said, making Mal laugh.
"You know I have kissed her before, right?" Ben asked, as he squinted at his sister.
"Ew," she said, making both Ben and Mal laugh.
"Then I would close your eyes," Ben said, and before Mal could react, Ben grabbed her by the waist, dipped her, and crushed his lips to hers.
"You know it's really tacky showing public displays of affection," Audrey said as she walked into the classroom, and placed her hand on her hip as she looked at the couple.
Ben helped Mal up onto her feet before turning to his ex-girlfriend.
"You don't have to be jealous because I never did that with you, Audrey," he said as he grabbed Mal's hand and pulled her to their seat.
"What is up her butt?" Mal asked as she pulled Rosie's extra chair to her side and pulled out her sketchbook for Rosie to color in.
"She's jealous of you," Ben said. "When she told me, at the beginning of the semester, that she wanted to get back together, I told her no. I told her that I didn't want to be in a relationship, because I wanted to spend time with my family."
"Then you started getting to know me and started dating me," she said.
"Yeah. Plus, she is jealous because I never gave her my jersey to wear at the football games, or kissed her in public, or put any effort into our relationship."
"I see," Mal said with a smirk.
She should feel mad that Audrey was spreading those rumors, but knowing that Ben did all of that with her and not Audrey made her feel special.
"Good afternoon, everyone," Belle said as she walked into the classroom. "I hope all of you did well on your finals, and are excited for Christmas break," she said as she hopped up to sit on the top of her desk.
"Not as excited as Ben and Mal," Audrey mumbled to herself, not knowing that the whole class could hear her.
"Well, Audrey," Belle said as she gave the girl a tight smile. "They have been excited for the trip, even before they started dating," she said, making Audrey turn red in the face.
"Now, I only have you for 15 more minutes, before you all have to go to the auditorium for the Christmas rally," she said. "I would like to say that none of you failed or got D's in this class, and that makes me so happy," she said with a bright smile.
Belle went around the room and gave everyone their final report cards. When she got to Ben and Mal she gave them each a wink before slipping them their report cards.
"Bet still on?" Ben asked, making Mal nod her head.
They had made a bet a week after they started dating. They bet that whoever got the heist GPA would take the other on a date night while they were in Paris. They each opened their report cards and smiled at what they saw. Ben looked at his and saw nothing but straight A's making him earn a 4.0. There was no way Mal could beat a 4.0, he thought. She either got a 4.0 or something lower, but he was honestly hoping for a tie. He looked over at Mal and saw her smirking at her report card.
Yep, she got a 4.0, he thought.
He gave her his report card, and when she looked at it she nodded her head, looking impressed with him. She gave him hers, and when he looked at it his eyes almost popped out of his head. She had gotten a 4.2 GPA. he looked at her and she was sitting there with a big smirk on her face, making Ben huff a laugh.
"How?" he asked as he smiled at her.
"A lot of extra work," she said.
"Alright," he said. "A bet is a bet. I owe you a really good date when we are over there," he said, making Mal smile.
"Okay, Knights," Mrs. Coggs said over the intercom. "You may all head to the auditorium for our Christmas rally," she said.
Ben laced his fingers through Mal's as they got up. They said bye to Rosie and Belle before walking out of the classroom, and making their way to the auditorium. When they got there they saw the whole place was almost full, making them think they were going to have to stand.
"Mal! Ben!" they head.
They looked to see Jay waving his hand in the front of the auditorium. He was pointing to the seats next to him, and they made their way over. When they got to the front, they saw that the entire row was nothing but their friend, making the couple smile.
"Hello, Knights!" Principal Sid said as he walked across the stage.
Belle, Coach Rogers, Mrs, K, Mrs, Coggs, and a couple of the other staff walked across the stage.
"Where's…"
Mal nudged Ben's arms, pointing to Gil. Ben looked and saw Gil bouncing Rosie up and down on his knee, making Ben sigh in relief.
"Okay…" Principal Sid started, but then the lights turned off, making the room turn pitch black.
Mal reached for Ben's hand, but she couldn't find it. She felt for his leg, but then realized his seat was now empty.
[JAY]
Hey! Where's the drums?
Drums started to Play, making everyone in the crowd clap.
Oh whoa-oh-oh-oh
Let's go!
"Jay?" Mal asked as Evie grabbed her hand.
The spotlights turned on and pointed straight at Ben, Jay, Chad, Carlos, Harry, and Doug, who was on the stage playing the guitar while the rest of his band played.
[BEN]
Ooh girl you're shining
Like a 5th avenue diamond
And they don't make you like they used to
You're never going out of style
Mal covered her mouth in shock, seeing her boyfriend dancing and singing in front of the entire school. He smiled as he sang, and was looking right at her.
Ooh pretty baby
This world might've gone crazy
The way you save me
Who can blame me
When I just wanna make you smile?
He walked forward and pulled her up out of her seat, making her laugh as he started to dance with her. Doug put his guitar on it's stand before hopping down from the stage, and pulling Evie out of her seat. The rest of the guys did the same with their girls.
[BEN, DOUG, CARLOS]
I wanna thrill you like Michael
I wanna kiss you like Prince
Let's get it on like Marvin Gaye
Like Hathaway
Write a song for you like this
The girls smiled as they danced around with their boys. Ben held her close, swaying them back and forth as he sang.
[BEN, DOUG, CARLOS, JAY, CHAD, HARRY]
You're over my head
I'm out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
One of a kind, living in a world gone plastic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you,
Baby you're so classic
[BEN]
Four dozen roses
Anything for you to notice
All the way to serenade you
Doing it Sinatra style
Ben spun Mal around and pulled her back into his arms, making her laugh and smile brightly.
I'm a pick you up in a Cadillac
Like a gentleman bringin' glamour back
Keep it reel to reel in the way I feel
I could walk you down the aisle
Mal looked at Ben with a surprised look when he sang that last part, but she didn't mind the sound of it.
[BEN, DOUG, CARLOS]
I wanna thrill you like Michael
I wanna kiss you like Prince
Let's get it on like Marvin Gaye
Like Hathaway
Write a song for you like this
[BEN, DOUG, CARLOS, JAY, CHAD, HARRY]
You're over my head
I'm out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
It's love on rewind,
Everything is so throwback-ish (I kinda like it, like it)
Out of my league
Old school chic
Like a movie star
From the silver screen
You're one of a kind living in a world gone plastic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you're so classic
Baby you're so classic
[CARLOS JAY]
Baby you're class and baby you're sick
I never met a girl like you ever 'till we met
A star in the 40s, centerfold in the 50s
Got me tripping out like the sixties
Hippies, Queen of the discotheque
A 70s dream and an 80s best
Hepburn, Beyoncé, Marilyn, Massive
Girl you're timeless, just so classic
Jane and Lonnie laughed at Jay and Carlos as they started to sing. It wasn't a shock for Carlos, but to see Jay singing was a shock for everyone. Not to mention the other guys too.
[BEN, DOUG, CARLOS, JAY, CHAD, HARRY]
You're over my head I'm out of my mind
Thinking I was born in the wrong time
It's love on rewind,
Everything is so throwback-ish (I kinda like it, like it)
Out of my league
Old school chic
Like a movie star
From the silver screen
You're one of a kind living in a world gone plastic
Baby you're so classic
Whoa oh oh (Yeah, yeah)
Baby you're so classic (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah
Baby you're so classic
Uuuuuuh uh uh
Each of the guys dipped their girls, making them smile and the crowd cheered once they were done.
"What was that?" Mal asked as she laughed.
"That was why we haven't been at lunch since Monday," he said as they walked back to their seats.
"You sneaky…"
"Okay, Benny," Rosie said as she walked up to Ben and Mal. "That was cool."
Ben laughed and then pulled his sister into his lap so that they could enjoy the rest of the rally.
"Well, that was interesting," Mal said as she, Ben, and Hadie got into Ben's Jeep.
"At least it wasn't your ex trying to seduce you in front of the whole school," he said as he started the ignition.
"Well, she didn't get that far," she said with a laugh. "I can't believe they would let the cheer squad do that."
Audrey and the rest of the cheerleaders tried to do the Jingle Bell Rock dance from Mean Girls and completely failed.
"They didn't even get past the thigh slap," Hadie said with a laugh.
"I'm surprised they got on the stage in those skirts."
"Please, stop the image. I don't want to think about it," Ben said as he turned out of the parking lot. "Do you guys want me to drop you off or do you want to come to the store with me?"
"You're not done packing yet, are you?" Mal asked with a laugh.
"I only need a couple of things," he said.
"We leave tomorrow," she said, shaking her head.
"And that's why I'm going today and not at the airport," he said, making her laugh.
"I'll go with you," Hadie said.
"I'm going to guess that you're not done either," Mal said as she turned to look at her brother.
"I'm 15. When do I have things done ahead of time?" He said with a shrug.
"Okay," Mal said. "Let's go. You guys will probably need my help to be completely honest."
"I'm a grown ass man, babe," Ben said. "I think I'm capable of getting my travel stuff."
"Okay," Ben said as they pulled up to Mal's house. "You're right."
Mal gave Ben a cheeky smile, knowing that he knew she was right. When they got to the store both boys started to pick out things that they thought they would need, but Mal intervened and picked out the things they would actually need and use.
"I'm sorry," Mal said as she pretended not to hear him. "What did the grown ass man say?"
Ben and Hadie laughed at Mal's goofiness. He leaned in closer to her ear, making Mal flinch a little.
"I'll see you bright and early, at 5 am." He said as he kissed the side of her head.
Mal groaned now remembering that she had to be up at the crack of dawn to leave for the airport.
"Let's just hope I'll actually be up," she said as she grabbed the bag that was between her legs.
"Oh, don't worry. I'll call you at 4 and if you're not up, I'll personally come and give you a wake up call," he said as he leaned in and gave her a kiss.
"Ew," Hadie said as he jumped out of the back seat. "I hope you guys aren't like this the entire time we are over there," he said before he closed the door and walked into the house.
Mal rolled her eyes as laughed before she hopped out of the car.
"See you tomorrow," she said as she winked at Ben and walked into her house.
Ben took a breath and smiled. He couldn't wait for the next two weeks. He knew they were going to be amazing. Especially since he was going to be with Mal.
Okay Lovies! That's it for now! I can't wait to see what you guys think! Please let me know what you guys think!
Until next time my lovies! xoxo GM
