Enchanted || Benny Weir

III

Addison cringes as the lunch lady slides her lunch over the counter. She quickly gives a small smile and goes to meet up with Benny and Ethan.

"Guys, this is it" Ethan starts. "Our whole future social lives depend on how we behave here in the next few days," Addison looks over to see Benny putting on some goggles and laughs a little. 

"What do you think?" Benny asks Ethan, showing him the goggles. Ethan snatches the goggles off his face, quickly scolding him. "Those are state-of-the-art alien DNA detector goggles," Benny says. 

Addison can't stand anymore of them arguing, so she walks away to sit at a random table. She looks up to see if they were heading over soon, just in time to see Ethan run into a girl and get his lunch all over her shirt.

"Dork!" the girl yells. "Thank you so much," She storms away leaving Ethan there. 

Addison's eyes follow the girl as she walks down to a table. Addison gets up and walks over there, as the girl is in a conversation with another girl with glasses.

"Hey," Addison says, interrupting their conversation. "Sorry to interrupt, but I was wondering if you want a spare shirt?" The girl smiles at Addison.

"Thanks," she says. "You're a lifesaver," Addison reaches into her bag and pulls out a spare shirt she had, and handed it over. "Sit down with us, please it's the least I could do," the girl says again, gesturing to the seats across from her.

Addison takes her offer, and sits down in one of the open seats. They awkwardly sit there until the blonde breaks the silence.

"Hi, I'm Erica, and this is Sarah," she quickly says, gesturing to the girl next to her. Sarah gives a little wave to Addison, who copies. 

"I'm Addison, but most people just call me Addie," Addison introduces herself. Before she could even start a conversation, she feels a presence next to her. She turns her head just to see Benny smiling at her. 

"Hey Ads," he says slinging his arm around her. He turns to look at Erica, "Hi there, are you by chance babysitting the Morgans tonight?" 

"Yeah, why do you know their kids?" Erica asks Benny intrigued. 

"Yeah, one of them is our best friend," Addison says, turning to look at Ethan. "He's sitting right over there," Benny and Addison look over just to see Ethan covering his face.

"He's a bit shy," Benny says before getting up. "See you around, bye Ads,"

Addison watches him take his arm off her, and walk back to Ethan and Rory. Once he sits down again, she turns back to see both Sarah and Erica looking at her with a smirk.

"What?" Addison says, absolutely clueless. 

"What was that!" Sarah says tapping Addisons arms with her hands. "You like him don't you," she says smiling. 

"What? No, never, nada," Addison says shaking her head. "We are just friends, always were, always will be,"

"Well," Erica says, looking over to the table Ethan, Benny, and Rory are sat at, "You should tell him that,"

Addison furrows her eyebrows before turning to look over there too. Once she turns her head, she meets the eyes of Benny, who was just staring at her. Addison gives a little smile as she sees Benny's face turn red from getting caught. She turns her head back around, and gets engulfed with the topic of Dusk.
