Chapter 10

Sam threw her arms around Ben. She knew she missed him, but she didn't know she missed him this much. She was so happy to see him. She held on to him for a really long time.

"What are you doing here?" she asked him.

"I ran away." Sam's eyes widened.

"I'm sorry, you what?"

"I ran away."

"Why?" Sam was so shocked and confused. It didn't make any sense. Why would Ben run away?

"I got suspended." And he just keeps packing it on.

"What did you do to get suspended?" Sam asked. She was very aware of Zoey's and Nicole's eyes on them, but she didn't care.

"That doesn't matter. The-"

"Yes, it does matter." Sam said, cutting him off. "What did you do?"

"It's not important. It was just a joke." She raised her eyebrows.

"A joke that got you suspended?"

"Yes."

"Ben."

"Sam."

"Fine. But why'd you run away?"

"I wasn't thinking. I just went to the airport, snuck on a plane coming her, and took a cab to campus." Ben said.

"Okay, but why did you do that?" Sam asked.

"I told you! I wasn't thinking. I got into more trouble than I thought I would when my dad found out I got suspended. He was so mad and I couldn't be around him anymore so I left."

"And came here?"

"Well, yeah. I mean, this is the first place that came to mind."

"Aw, I'm touched." She really was, too.

"I have to go back, obviously. But it's too late now. I have to wait until tomorrow. Can I crash here tonight?" Sam was about to say sure when she remembered she had roommates. So instead, she said, "oh…" and looked at Zoey and Nicole. Zoey strode over to Sam, grabbed her arm, and turned to Ben.

"Hi, I'm Zoey. That's Nicole. We just need to borrow Sam real quick. Could you stay here? Thanks." She said, then shut the door in Ben's face. She dragged Sam over to Nicole.

"We can't have a male roommate! It's against the rules!" she said. Sam just rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, like you've never broken the rules before." Zoey glared.

"Okay, yeah. But this is different. We don't even know him."

"I know him. You've heard me talk him, like, a thousand times."

"I just don't think it's a good idea. What do you think?" Zoey asked, turning to Nicole.

"I think he's hot." Zoey and Sam rolled their eyes.

"Fine, I'll be back." She said before she walked out the door.

"Well?" Ben asked when Sam shut the door. She sighed.

"You can't stay here. I honestly believe my roommate Nicole will attack you in your sleep." She said. he sighed.

"Well, where am I supposed to go?" she thought for a minute.

"Come with me." she said before grabbing his arm and dragging him out of her dorm building.

"Where are we going?" he asked her.

"To my friend Chase's dorm." She said as they entered another dorm building.

"Oh-Kay…" they stopped in front of a door that had a board with the names Logan, Chase, and Michael written on it. Sam knocked on the door. Logan answered and smirked when he saw her.

"Hey Sam. I wasn't expecting you to come by today. Any particular reason you decided to grace me with your presence?" Sam rolled her eyes.

"I'm here to see Chase." Now it was Logan's turn to roll his eyes.

"How come you guys always come here looking for Chase?"

"Because we like him. Can I come in?" Logan sighed.

"I guess."

Thank you." She grabbed Ben's arm and started inside but Logan put his hand out to stop Ben.

"I said you could come in. I never said anything about this guy." Sam let out a frustrated sigh.

"Logan don't make me slap you." She said. he put his hands up in defense.

"Jeez, you really do need to lighten up." She rolled her again and pulled Ben inside.

"Chase and Michael were sitting on the couch eating cheese puffs.

"Hey." Sam said. They looked up at her.

"Hey. They said simultaneously.

"I need you guys to do me a huge favor." She said. They were eyeing Ben suspiciously.

"Yeah, sure." Michael said.

"Okay. This is my best friend Ben. It's a long story what he's doing here but he needs a place to stay for tonight." Their eyes widened.

"Are you crazy?" Michael asked.

"Yes. So, can he?"

"Why can't he stay in your dorm?" Chase asked.

"Nicole lives in my dorm."

"Enough said." Chase and Michael looked at each other and sighed. "Fine, but if we get caught-"

"I'll take full blame. Thank you! I owe you guys so much." She hugged them and went back over to a very confused Ben.

"You can stay with them tonight." She said. Ben looked at Chase and Michael, who were still eyeing him suspiciously.

"Um, are you sure?" he asked her. She rolled her eyes.

"Yes. Now go mingle. I have to go finish my homework so see you in the morning." She headed towards the door.

"But-" Ben started to say.

"Bye." Sam said, and then she shut the door. Ben turned back to Chase and Michael. This was going to be a long night.

Slowlyburntmarshmallow- ben and sam aren't gonna be romantic. They supposed to be just really good friends. I kinda based them on me and my one friend.. who I;'d never go out with. So they're not gonna get romantic. Thanks for ur review tho
