In Your Dreams || Benny Weir COMPLETED

chapter thirteen

The next day, Sarah stands in front of her locker, when she notices Benny and Ethan come up to her. She suddenly becomes angry and grabs Benny by the arms, "if you hit on me again, I'm gonna hit on you-but not in the way you think!"

"Hey, hey, if you're gonna punch me don't I get to have fun annoying you in the first place?" Benny asks, putting his hands up in defense.

"Whoa, okay," Ethan removes her hands from Benny, "Sarah let me guess, you saw Benny today and he was a complete jerk."

"Yeah," she scoffs, "but even more than usual."

"No time to explain, magic camera, Hannah and Benny have evil twins, we have to destroy the negatives before more evil twins..." Ethan explains, "I stop Hannah, you guys find Benny."

Ethan runs off, leaving Sarah and Benny at her locker. "Wait, does Mary know about this?" Sarah asks him. Benny's eyes widen, "oh my god, no-I didn't tell her. What time is it?"

"9:50"

"I'm supposed to meet her to walk to algebra. Look, I have to go tell her what's going on. Keep me posted." Benny says before he takes off down the hallway.

Mary stands at her locker, trying to find her history book when she feels a warm hand on her back, "hey, you."

Mary jumps and goes to elbow them in the stomach, until she sees it's just Benny. "Oh my god, Benny, you scared the shit out of me."

He turns so he's next to her, shooting her a smirk with his hand still on her back, "sorry, babe."

'Babe?'

Theres something off, he seems much more confident and not like himself. "Benny, are you okay? You seem weird today, even more than usual." Mary asks, crossing her arms across her chest.

He chuckles softly in response, moving his hand slowly while tracing circles on her skin from her back to her shoulder, then down to her elbow, which sends a spree of goosebumps down her arm. "Never been better." He says, while eyeing her body up and down, until he lands at her eyes.

Mary's entire body and face heats up, 'does he know I kinda like him? There's no way. Sarah promised she wouldn't tell him, and I know she meant it.'

"I-uh um, so wh-whats up? Cool jacket." She stammers, motioning to the new leather jacket he's  wearing, another off character thing about him today.

"Come with me." He winks and takes her by the hand. She quickly shuts her locker and he drags her through the hall.

"Where are we going?" Mary asks, "algebra is at the opposite side of the hall."

"We're not going to algebra just yet, sweetheart," he says with a smirk then pulls her into the restroom.

'Sweetheart?' Something was definitely up.

"Okay, seriously, what's going on with you? I don't get-" before she could finish, Benny pulls her into him and smashes his cold, dry lips on hers.

She was shocked, to say the least, but she has to admit, she isn't mad about this. She wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him back. The kiss was sloppy and aggressive, but Mary didn't care.

One of his arms wraps around her waist, the other on her back. "God, I've wanted to do this for so long." He whispers, "you're so hot." The hand that was on her back moved its way up to the back of her neck, his fingers tangling themselves in her hair. Mary's stomach flutters, but at the same time , she feels odd. Something doesn't seem right about this.
