Ben POV:
"Hey Carolee, can I get some advice?" I asked knocking on her dressing room door.
"What's up hun?" She asked as I walked in.
"I kinda like this girl-" I started.
"Eliza." She said.
"Yeah." I blushed. "But she's a tough girl. She doesn't like to let people in and I can't tell if she likes me back or if she would even date me." I said sitting down on the couch.
"She's definitely not like all the other girls who just fall right at your feet." She laughed.
"Yeah. I mean, we are really close and it's been a couple months that I've known and her and I just really like her." I said.
"Did you tell her?" Carolee asked.
"No! I want to see if she likes me first. So how can I find out?" I asked.
"Follow your gut." She said.
"Your advice is slacking today." I said.
"It's Saturday, give me a break." Carolee laughed. "I'd go straight to the closest source to Eliza."
"Carrie!" I said. "Carolee you're a genius! Thank you!" I smiled grabbing her in a hug and then I ran off. I ran into Carries dressing room and she was in there alone. "Hey squirt!" I smiled walking into her dressing room.
"Hey Ben! What's up?" She asked.
"I have a question for you." I said running up and kneeling down in front of her.
"I DIDNT DO IT!" She said eyes widened.
"No it's about- wait. What did you do?" I asked.
"Nothing! Continue!" She smiled.
"It's about Eliza." I said. "Does she like me?"
"How should I know? I'm not Eliza." Carrie said. "Wait do you like her?"
"That wasn't the question." I said.
"Eliza's never talked about guys. But she definitely likes you as a friend and can't survive without you." Carrie said.
"But would she date me?" I asked.
"I DONT KNOW IM 10." Carrie said.
"Ben likes Eliza?" Sarah asked running in.
"Yep!" Carrie smiled.
"THATS SO CUTE!" Sarah smiled as I started blushing. "Are you two gonna date?"
"Ok listen here little blabber mouths, don't tell anybody else I like Eliza." I said.
"You like Eliza?" Neil asked walking into the dressing room.
"Ah shit." I said.
"What's going on?" Andrew said coming up behind Neil.
"Ben likes Eliza." Neil said.
"Ben likes Eliza?" Jessica said coming next.
"I knew it!" Bob said following behind.
"LETS JUST ANNOUNCE THIS TO THE WHOLE WORLD." I said.
"Woah did I miss the party invite?" Mike said pushing his way through.
"I LIKE ELIZA. EVERYBODY GOT IT?" I said.
"And he thought we were blabber mouths." Carrie said.
"Are you gonna ask her out?" Andrew asked.
