Ben POV
Alright. Turns out, I'm not the only one here who loves Erica. When I heard rumors about this, I don't know why I was surprised. The boy's name was Ajax Fox, and he was... him. His hazel hair blew with the wind, like a feather. Sunlight glinted off his sea green eyes, as if he was a mirror.
"Hey." I said halfheartedly as I walked next to him.
"Um... Who are you?" his voice was crisp, Catherine would approve.
"Ben. Ben Ripley." I replied, lending my hand out for him to shake.
"Oh. I'm Ajax Fox, the school football team quarterback." He smiled as he shook my hand.
"Oh, cool!" I exclaimed with enthusiasm, hoping to clear myself as nice. Damn it, this dude not only has good looks, but he's going to be popular.
"See you around." He said, then skipped off to class.
"Who was - HOLY CRAP." Mike approached me, gaping wildly at Ajax.
"Yeah, that's Ajax Fox." I replied sadly.
Mike perked up, "Looks like you have some competition."
I shook my head, knowing that Ajax would soon find Erica, and that this might be the end of Berica. As if non-coincidentally, Erica arrived, "Hey, Ben. Who was that? Oh." Erica stopped abruptly, looking at Ajax, and for a second, I swore I could see a blush form on Erica's face.
"See you guys at class." Erica skipped towards Ajax, undoubtedly hitting it off with him.
I grimaced, forlorn. Yeah, this might be the end of Berica.
*Timeskip 'Cause School's Boring*
I slumped out of seventh period, my life flashing before my eyes. Today, Erica almost completely ignored me, which was unlike her, and she was falling for Ajax, which was unlike her. She sat with him at lunch, flirting like crazy with him. At one point, I walked by.
"I met him this morning." Ajax was saying.
I knew they were talking about me.
"Ben? Well, he was nice, but, you know, he's got problems. You, on the other hand... have none." She smiled gently as she put her hand on his.
I cringed.
"ANNOUNCEMENT: THERE WILL BE A BEGINNING OF THE YEAR DANCE IN THE PAVILION ON FRIDAY. PLEASE COME, AND DON'T FORGET TO FIND A PARTNER, AND FAST!" a voice over the loudspeaker boomed through the school.
"Here that? I already know who I'm going with." Ajax smiled.
"Yeah, you sure do." Erica stood up from her seat kissed Ajax, and walked to put her lunchbox away.
I started to walk away myself, devastated. Erica caught a glimpse of me looking at her, at gasped. "Ben -" She started.
"No, I knew I shouldn't have trusted you." I barked, and stormed off, to nowhere in particular.
I hated Erica Hale, and when she came up to me again, I was going to let it out.
