Just A Glitch:Ben Drowned

Chapter 11: Being The New Kid

You sit in front of your vanity mirror, fiddling nervously with the hem of your white shirt; a habit you seem to have developed recently when you are nervous or agitated about something. Taking one final run down at your appearance, your black and white Imagine Dragons t-shirt tucked into your light wash jeans, followed by a pair of chestnut colored combat boots, and of course, a silver Triforce necklace that your mother had given you for your tenth birthday. You soft locks rest comfortably in a messy low messy bun, a few wavy stands of hair framing your soft face elegantly.

"Jeez, you look fine. Now you'd better leave before your mother drags you out of the house..." BEN whines annoyingly in the corner, still in his casual wear with his bright blue contacts in. You could swear however, that there was a light tint of rosy pink on his cheeks.

Rolling your eyes being just as irked as he is, you hold out your phone which he jumps in with ease, and take of towards the direction of your new school.

"Class, I'd like to introduce you to our new student; _______ _______." The kind man in his fifties with graying hair announces, ushering you politely to the front of the class.

You raise your hand up to wave at everyone, feeling sufficiently awkward as literally every single person has their full attention on you. A loading bar with the words "Judging you" might have well been hanging over their heads.

"Alright, Miss. ____________, you may take a seat next to Mr. Robinson." He gently nudges you toward a a boy with magnificent emerald green eyes, messy chocolate brown hair and the most adorable smile that could make you melt.

Ethan gives you a timid smile, before scrawling rapidly on a piece of paper and plopping it sheepishly on your desk.

"Hi! My names Ethan. I can't help but notice your triforce necklace. Does that mean you like the LOZ? c:" The gray graphite staining the paper is extremely messy, so much so that you can barely separate word for word.

"Yeah! My names _____ by the way, nice to meet you!" You plop the note back onto his desk, smiling sweetly.

"Cool! I can show you around the school if you'd like. c:"

"That'd be great, actually! This school is huge, and I'm probably going to get lost...."

"Haha, no problem! :D"

A small smile appears on your lips as you turn to face the front of the classroom, happy that you've made a new friend. Not to mention that he is very attractive...

"Oh, and if you ever have any spare time, I suggest climbing up to the roof. The view is spectacular there." Ethan comments as the two of you walk back to your apartment. Being the very sweet gentleman he is, he stubbornly walked you home despite saying repeatedly it's alright; but he just wouldn't take no as an answer.

You had to admit though, a cute guy walking you home isn't such a bad thing. "Well, thank you very much for walking me home..." You say rather quietly, fiddling nervously with the hem of your t-shirt.

"No problem! Well, I'll see you tomorrow!" He flashes you a charming but dorky grin and walks away, raising his hand to wave goodbye. "See ya!" You call before walking into your apartment, feeling pretty awesome.

Without BEN.
