The New And The Silent

Am I That Obvious?

"Toby...-"

"Y-yeah?"

BEN walked in, closing the door behind him completely.

"Um- are you.."

He messed with his shirt a bit.

"Are you dating Jeff..?"

I looked at him wide eyed.

"I was going to ask the same thing."

I looked at Jack in shock.

"W-what? What! N-no- no- I'm not- why would you t-think that?"

I was baffled- they thought I was dating Jeff? Isn't he like 4 or 5 years younger then me?

"You guys just seemed really- close."

"T-thats because I'm d-doing something f-for him..I'm not dating him!"

"Oh thank zalgo-"

"Why w-were you u-upset?"

"Um-"

BENs face went red. I laughed at him as realization set in.

"Y-you like Jeff d-dont you?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

I looked at Jack, who looked at me then back to BEN.

"He does."

"I-I do not! He's my best friend, thats it."

I tried to not laugh as the 14 year olds face got darker.

"B-BEN, it's fine if you d-do."

"Don't- Don't tell him. Please. I don't know his view on all of it.."

That was my breaking point. I started laughing hard.

"Good job. You broke him."

"Oh, so now your talking to people?"

BEN glared at Jack, his arms crossed infront of his chest. I stopped laughing and caught my breath.

"H-holy sh-shit. That was the h-hardest I've la-laughed in a while-"

"Why where you laughing in this first place?"

I looked at BEN.

"D-do you remember w-what I a-asked you earlier?"

"Yeah..? Why-"

His face dropped as realization set in. His face now a dark pink.

"Wait- wait. Wait, wait, wait- is he.."

I nodded

"And he.."

I nodded again as BEN looked down at his shoes.

"That- um..explains a lot. Thank you."

"Y-yeah, yeah. Go talk to him y-you twelve year old."

BEN started to walk out before turning to look at me again.

"I'm not twelve, ass."

I rolled my eyes.

"Go"

"Yeah yeah. Thank you though."

"Yup."

I watched BEN walk away. I wonder how much trouble I'll be in? Heh, Jeff's gonna beat my ass. Oh well.

I looked at Jack who looked slighty concerned on what the hell just happened.

"T-they like eachother a-and both t-told me."
