I woke to the sound of Kit's booming voice echoing up the stairs. "Hurry up and get down here! Dinner's ready!"

I walked down into the kitchen, and wanted to kill myself right there on the spot. It's her. Whitney Dubois. She's still here! Why?! I swear to god, I'm gonna be the one to kill her one day. Dibs murdering Whitney. I sat at the table and started eating. I couldn't really complain. The food was pretty good. The only good thing about Whitney. Halfway through, Whitney asked me the question I'd know had been coming and wanting to avoid.

"So, Tory, how's it going with Jason? I know you like Ben and all, but I don't think he's right for you." Whitney sighed.

Blargh

"Look, Whitney, the thing is, I'm happy with Ben. Not Jason. Also he doesn't do it for me in that way." I thought Whitney was going to faint. Her face had turned as white as a ghost. She took a few staggered breathes and put both hands on her chest.

"What? Please tell me you didn't just say that!" She spoke so slowly and quietly I could just understand what she said. I looked Whitney in the eye, and started to speak, but Whitney beat me to it. "Tory, I don't know what you see in those boys you go traipsing around islands with. They could never give you anything like a young lady such as yourself should have. They're disgusting."

Stay calm. Stay calm.

"Especially that Benjamin Blue. He is pretty cute and stuff, but seriously. Why are you even with him in the first place? Besides, he's a criminal. He's dangerous. He's the reason why you always get into trouble. Honestly, he's the worst person you could fall for, and you are pretty weak so I'm not surprised you did."

I lost it. I couldn't help it. She insulted Ben and me!

I pushed my chair back and stood up. Hands curled into fists. I slammed them onto the table.

"Look Whitney! Why do you care so much?! How dare you talk about my friends like that! And what the hell is your problem with Ben!? Because, guess what Whitney! I'm not just with Ben and dating him! I LOVE HIM! So go ahead! Blabbermouth all you want about him! About us! In fact, I'm heading to his place right now! For a date! So, BYE!"

I left Whitney speechless as I stormed out the door. I ran over to Ben's bunker and knocked on the door. He answered almost immediately. Looking at my face, he quickly swept me into a hug and whispered into my ear.

"Tory, are you okay? What's wrong?" I'd started crying about what got said. I looked at Ben with watery eyes. His dark eyes swarming with concern.

"It's okay Ben. I just yelled at Whitney, because she got mad at me for loving and dating you, and she said above all people I could fall for, it shouldn't be you. And I lost it."

Ben looked at me and sighed. Then he wiped my eyes with his hand. He started to grin. I then realised why and started laughing.

Ben was wearing a tuxedo.
