I have been so uninspired lately. I need new episodes of UA lol I cant wait for feb 4th! season 2 premiere!

Anyways, heres a new chapter! I cant think creatively right now, school is draining my brain, and it reflects on what i wrote. I took a break from the ben/kevin/gwen love triangle for this chapter and wrote ben as myself (sorta). Enjoy!

Ben's Try 2

The next morning Benjamin Tennyson woke up with an uneasy feeling in his stomach. He had told his mother the night before that he was gay, and almost ruined his relationships with his best friend and cousin. Ben lay in his bed and stared at the ceiling, 'It cant get much worse today… cant it?' he thought to himself. Ben thoughts were interrupted when his mom barged into his room.

"Good morning Benjamin! Wake up, get dressed, I can drive you to school if you are outside in…." Sandra checked her wristwatch, "8 minutes? Do you think you'll be ready sweetie?" Ben sat up and looked over to his clock beside his bed, "I think I can do that." He told Sandra as he got out of bed. Ben walked past his mom and into the washroom down the hall.

The burnet turned on the tap and splashed cold water on his face to fully wake himself up. 'Common Ben, pull yourself together! You fight aliens, save the world, and the thought of being alone with Kevin and Gwen is what scares you? Your pathetic!' Ben shook his head to come back to reality, he didn't want to go further into those thoughts.

Ben finished his morning routine in a quarter of the time, just to make it to the car on time as his mom turned on the engine. "You cut it pretty close Ben." The burnet put on his seatbelt and put his bag at his feet, "Yeah, but I still made it." He said smiling at his mom.

Sandra dropped the young hero off a block away from the school since it was on the right and she needed to go left. The fifteen year old walked down the block and watched the other teens flock to the school.

Ben always had a queasy feeling during that walk to school. He always second-guessed going to class, it wasn't hard, it just never interested him. Ben knew he wasn't going to college, he'd probably graduate and then work with the plumbers full time. Ben hadn't told his parents what his plans were, but if they protested, Grandpa Max would back him up.

Ben spent most of his time in class daydreaming about being a full time plumber. Getting to patrol the solar system, teaching plumbers in training how to kick butt, and best of all, meeting new aliens and scanning their DNA to add to the Omnitrix.

"Hello? Anyone in there?" a voice asked softly as Ben shook his head. He'd fallen asleep in class again. As his eyes started to gain better focus, he saw Julie standing in front of him. "Oh, Hey Julie." Ben yawned and stood up.

"Did you get enough sleep last night Ben?" the girl asked concerned. "You fall asleep whenever you're in class. And when you not here, you disappear for almost a week. Same with Gwen" She was becoming suspicious of the cousin's extra (terrestrial)-curricular activities. Ben had thought about telling Julie about the Omnitrix and all the alien stuff, she'd become a good friend, but he didn't want to mix her up in that.

"Oh yeah, thanks Julie. Ben picked up his bag and put it on. "Don't worry about me, I've just got a lot going on at home, renovations." Julie looked at Ben suspiciously, not knowing what else it could be, she believe what he told her. "Alright, but if you need a good nights sleep, you can stay at my place, my folks wouldn't mind. As long as you slept in another room." Julie half joked, but she was mostly serious.

"Haha…" Ben squeezed out a fake laugh to smooth over Julie's terrible joke. "Well, I've got to go, I'll see you later!" Ben did a little hop/skip and jogged out of the classroom and down the hallway until he was at the exit. The boy checked around him to see if the coast was clear before slipping out the door and ditching school in the middle of the day. It was one of those days that Ben couldn't stand and he just needed to get away.

As he made his way across the field, something caught Ben's eye. He saw a boy and a girl sitting together on a bench. Ben instantly felt envious of them. They were able to relax and smile and be happy together. The burnet let out a big sigh, wishing he was able to be like the two, but knew that it would never be simple. Whomever he was with would become a big complicated mess.

This depressed the teenager even further as he continued walking. Ben started on his way home making plans of curling up in his bed and watch TV for the rest of the afternoon. 'This is exactly what I need.' Ben thought as he imagined how relaxed he'd be.
