A/N: I don't know if anyone noticed, but I took off the tile. I named it "Between angels and insects" because at the time, it was really fitting to my story. What can I say? Things change. When I find a suitable title, I'll change it to that.
Ben took a seat next to Raven. She was shocked to see that he actually looked decent…hot, even. He had taken a shower, shampooed his hair. The works. He even changed his clothes for a change. He wore a white, almost formal shirt with a clean pair of comfortable fitting jeans that didn't have a single whole in them.
"Ben…you look…" Raven started.
"Nice?" He finished for her.
"Nice isn't a strong enough word," she said, still not believing her eyes. "What's with the change?"
"I decided to take your advice. I…I don't want to be alone anymore, Raven," Ben said in the most serious of tones.
"Well, look at you. You look amazing. I don't think you'll have a problem getting girls now," Raven said, trying to comfort him, though she was being totally honest.
"Would I have trouble getting you?"
"Ben, we've Ben through this…"
"We went through this while you were still with Chelsea. I don't mean to bring it up, but you broke up with her. I know this is a little sudden, but Rae, I would do anything to be your boyfriend. Just give me a chance."
Raven saw an extreme wanting in his eyes.His words, much like Ben, himself, were genuine. She wasn't certain she should, at first, but once she glanced over at Justin, huddled over her ex, she had a change of heart.
"You know what, Ben? Why not?"
"Are you serious?" He asked, in an overexcited voice.
"Yeah. I'm totally serious. I want to go out with you."
A/N: Yeah, yeah, I know it was short. I had to sit down and force myself to write this chapter. I think this one part really had me stuck, but now that I've gotten past that, I might be ok.
-This chapter is also extremely important, though it's the shortest. It sets up the stage for some huge stuff coming up. Just thought I'd let you know.
-Please review if I still have any readers. I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
