Holding Out For A Hero

Caesar Salad

"Priscilla, I am not doing a stupid quiz." I grumbled while taking my frustration out on the salad she sat in front of me. The leafs tried to swim away in hopes to escape the sharp fork but they didn't get far before I stabbed them to death.

Finn eyed me, murdering the food. His face kind of pale and he gulped once he realized it got no mercy. Those damn carrot strips ended up in my mouth fast. What could I say? I was starving, nervous, and annoyed. A very bad mix.

If Priscilla had quit pestering about this Seventeen romance test and allowed me to enjoy late lunch in peace there would be no problem yet she couldn't catch a hint. I didn't care how compatible me and Bennie were nor did I desire to answer those ridiculous questions around Blake.

The boy continued to color the pages of his Superman coloring book, only half concerned. He had just recently got home from school and seemed to only be half here. Finn said the teacher told him Blake had a tough time today- he got sick and accidentally tripped during gym.

I had checked his temperature. He was at ninety nine fahrenheit which was average. Finn said it must had been nerves. He did say earlier he had a spelling test he was worried about.

"Come on, it'll only take a minute. Aren't you curious in the slightest?" Priscilla questioned while she sat down at the table beside us. She slid Blake another glass of ginger ale before shooting Finn a glance.

The porn star shook his head. "Don't look at me, angel. I am not getting involved in this one."

Priscilla blushed. She began playing with her black lip ring and shrugged. "Whatever, at least I am trying to help these two."

"Why should I help? We all know Benjamin just going to screw up this relationship like he does with all the-"

Priscilla tsked at him.

"Finn Fisher, this is your best friend you are talking about! You know as well as I do he feels differently for Rarity. Have you not realized this?"

Finn suddenly got up from his chair. He shoved his hands in his cargo pants pocket while mumbling, "I need a drink."

He shuffled away to the kitchen with a tired expression. I had no idea what to think at the matter on hand. All their words were floating around in my brain. It brought along curiosity like what did Priscilla mean Benjamin feels differently about me? Why does Finn think the relationship is going to fail? That is none of his business. Hadn't I already told the idiot not to worry?

And why the hell hadn't he offered me a drink as well? He wasn't the only one Priscilla was pestering!

"God!" The young housekeeper cried. She laid her forehead onto the table top, groaning loudly. It sounded as if she were a dying cat. Not that I would tell her that.

"He is such an asshole! Is his true super power lack of kindness?"

I blinked surprise of her confession. She knew Finn was a hero? What the hell! Did they just tell anybody? Weren't heroes suppose to be cautious with their secret identity? Had these two not seen Superman or Antman! You don't tell your alter ego's name unless they were close to you or liked them.

Oh no, I placed a hand over my mouth in surprise. Benjamin had liked her! That's why he told her their secret. That's why Finn was so angry-he's jealous since he likes Priscilla as well. It all makes sense. How did I not realize this!

"You and Benjamin were in a relationship!"

Priscilla looked at me surprised. She bit her lower lip and averted her gaze. At first I thought she was hiding because she was ashamed but then she threw her head back. An uplifting laugh rang to our ears.
