"He trapped you in time?!" Sarah voice echos through my room. "Shh!" I scold her, "my parents could hear you." She whispers an apology before asking her question quietly again.
"Yes... but isn't it kind of sweet when you think about it?" I asked. Honestly, I think apart of me is just hoping to get some validation for the way I've been feeling since I left Bennys. I mean any girl would feel a little something for any guy that stopped time for her... right?
Erica peaked her head out from my closet, "sweet isn't a word I would use in reference to Benny. Annoying, yes but sweet, no." Erica and I still weren't really friends per say but we could at least stand to be in the same room as each other now, even if it is only for Sarah.
She holds out a hanger with one of my dresses on it, "don't you own anything without flowers on it?" She doesn't wait for my answer before tossing the dress on the ground.
I bite my tongue to keep myself from saying anything that will set me and Erica back to square one. I huff and walk over to my closet picking my dress up along the way and placing it back before pushing Erica out of the way to close the door.
"You're here to listen to my boy trouble not to judge my clothing."
"Couldn't I do both?"
"No!" Sarah and I answer at the same time. Erica pouts but gives up and sits down on my near by bingbag. "Do you think you might have... feelings for him?" Sarah cringes her teeth, feeling ashamed of her own question.
"Of course not or at least I don't right now and I would like to keep it that way but for the life of me I can't stop thinking about him," I rubbed my temples trying to calm the sudden panic I could feel rising in me.
I could not have a crush on Benny but if I didn't stop thinking about him and his stupid sweet actions then who knows what could happen.
"Look Daphne, you and Benny aren't even in the same league. Just distance yourself from him tomorrow then you'll have plenty time to get over this weird 'I think Bennys cute' phase." She shudders in disgust at her own words. "I said sweet not cute!" I defend raising my voice an octave.
Erica rolled her eyes in response to my yelling. "Whatever. By the end of the day you should come to your senses and if not me and Sarah will personally check you into a mental hospital ourselves."
I thought on her advice for a second and came to the conclusion that it actually might work, "Wow, that's actually not a bad idea."
