"And that's exactly why she is going to that autograph signing tomorrow", Nikole pressed.
"Guys. I just don't want to set myself up for a big disappointment", I assured them.
"A big disappointment?", Sam questioned. "This is Benji we are talking about. He doesn't
talk BS. If he likes you, he will get straight to the point and tell how he feels".
"I don't know..", I trailed off.
"At least give him a chance?", she asked giving the puppy dog look.
"Alright, alright. He does seem like a nice guy", I laughed. "Alright, kids, let's get outa
here", she said. She told us to go ahead and go to the car and she would be right there in
a few minutes. We had to walk past their tour bus, but we didn't look up. We went straight
to the car like Sam told us too. She followed a couple hundred feet behind. We looked back
and saw her talking to Benji for a brief second.
"Pst, Benji", Sam whispered in between him signing a fan's CD. He looked up. "You got the
green light to go for it". He smiled. Few minutes later Sam got to the car.
"Sam, what did you say to Benji?", I asked confused.
"I just told him they did a good show tonight", she said nervously. How could she have
sene it? She was backstage. "But, you were backstage", Nikole offered.
"I came out for like 10 minutes and watched them play "Riot Girl" and "Hold On", she
replied. We nodded. Once we got back into Middletown, Sam dropped each of us off at our
house. She dropped Nikole off first since she was on the way. We said bye to Nikole, and
Sam pulled out. I, on the other hand, lived on the opposite side of town, both me and Sam
did.
"Sam, I don't know if me talking to Benji is such a good idea", I replied.
She looked at me. "How come?", she asked.
"Well, it seems like Nikole likes him", I said. She explained that Nikole said she liked Joel. I
still got a sense of feeling that Nikole wasn't being honest and she was jealous that Benji
liked me.
"I just don't want to tear our friendship apart over a guy. You know?", I said.
"Guys. I just don't want to set myself up for a big disappointment", I assured them.
