Star67~Ben Simmons Love Story

5

Dwayne has been avoiding me ever since I told him I just wanted to be his friend. He said he understood, but I could tell he was lying. I sat on my bed feeling boredom take over. I haven't called anyone in a long time, so I could do that. As soon as I picked up the phone, I got an incoming call from Ben. I didn't feel like being bothered with him, so I ignored it, but he called back.

This time I answered. "I talked to Dwayne yesterday and he's sad and heartbroken or whatever. You didn't have to lead him on," Ben said angrily. 

What? "I didn't lead him on. I'm just not interested in him and I can't help that. I'm not going to pretend I like him either just so he can feel good."

 He sighed and said, "You did lead him on. You talking to him made him think he had a chance."

 I sucked my teeth in frustration, "Well that's not my fault. And don't ever try to set me up with any of your friends again. Matter of fact, I'm done talking to you." I hung up and threw my phone on the bed.

How could I think I could have a real friendship with someone I met on a prank call? I shook my head at myself. I can't deny that I feel someway towards Ben, but I'm not sure what it is. Maybe I have gas, I said making myself laugh. I need to find a new source of entertainment because I'm done with prank calling. I think. My phone rung again and I answered it. 

Before I could say hello I heard Ben's deep voice say, "You know I hate it when you hang up on me."

 I rolled my eyes and said, "I'm not trying to please you or anything. It's not like we're together." 

He laughed and said, "That's the thing though. I thought about it and I think you turned Dwayne down because you're waiting for me."

My eyes widened as I thought. "Why would it matter if I did? It's not like you like me. I see the way you look at other girls and you don't look at me like that. You know what, it doesn't matter because I'm going out tomorrow with Nori and I'm sure I'll find someone." 

Ben scoffed before saying, "So you wanna show off and go out. I got something for you." That's the last thing I heard him say because he hung up on me.
