The Dog Beside Her

Chapter 3☆

Benjamin's POV

Remember the girl that has been hating me for the past 2 years? Yeah her.

Just so to let you all know, I may like her... and stuff. I know that she only treats me as a humourous table partner nad not how I feel for her. It is killing me. Why can't I catch her eye?

Besides, we did not meet through being table partners in class but....

Flashback....

It was just a dare anyway. I was with my friends- Joshua and Nicholas and we were playing a typical game of Truth and Dare.

"Ben it's your turn!"

Oh no.

"Okay.... What do you want me do then?" I asked.

After the duo finished pondering, they smiled before revaeling their plan. "What the crap?! Guys!" I exclaimed in pure shock when they revealed what they wanted me to do.

They wanted me to pass *ahem ahem* certain magazines, on a teacher's table. The math teacher's.

I'm definitely not the gangster type, or one that would look at things that I don't, in fact I'm still a virgin. I definitely know how much trouble you can get into when you mix with gangsters.

Turns out, Joshua actually had access to those magazines. "How did you...." "My brother has them," Joshua winked. He thrust ed those things into my face. "Do it," he smiled.

No no no no no I'm not going to look at those women. I stuffed them in an envelope I prepared. The guys gave me a 'seriously' look. I couldn't blame them. "I'm a pure person and I don't want to damage my virgin eyes, okay?" I replied. They shook their heads in pity. I smacked them hard on their heads. "Idiots," I muttered.

Clutching the envelope in my hands, I walked to the teacher's table cautiously. No one saw me. I was pretty surprised and of course, impressed by my sneakiness. Imagine my shock when I saw a girl standing outside the teacher's desk area. God. I almost bumped into her. "Ahh. Oh god what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Um, hello? Why can't I? And I don't even know you, so yeah..?" she said, a note of alarm in her tone.

"Oh, sorry. My name is Benjamin. What's yours?" I gave her my hand but then decided that it was too formal so I took it back.

She looked like I was crazy. "My name is Alexis. Alexis Smith. Nice to meet you. So what are you doing here?"

I then remembered my motive here. "Can you pass this to the teacher here? Please? It's a dare by my friends, so don't open it. It contains material that you wouldn't wanna see. Serioulsy." I held out the envelope. Alexis took it.

"Um.... Okay.... Since I'm so kind I'm just going to ask him to throw it away, right? Kcan have a nice day and bye." she flatly replied and gave a fake smile. "Thanks!" I smiled and left. Crap. Should've never had done that.

Even though Alexis did ask the Math teacher to not look, he must have been too curious? He looked at the contents of the envelope. Alexis was called and was demanded an explanation. The disgusted her told him all about what happened and I was called. Why was there only one Benjamin in the year of 14 year old's?

In front of Alexis and the teacher, I told them about the dare and Joshua and Nicholas were involved too. Luckily, the Math teacher let it go, probably due to embarrassment or just understanding that Joshua was undergoing puberty and was thus, curious. Hmph.

All awhile, Alexis was glaring at me. Hey! I was also a 'victim'!

I remember her telling me,"Dude, okay sorry that I forgot your name, but just telling you that you're so gonna be on my hate list as I have been wrongly accused of-" she suddered."-stuff. That's why." And she left.

Our friendship between the 3 of us were not affected, but I got more hesitant when they were talking about it. They would tease me about it and we would just laugh it off. Alexis started hating the Math teacher and him too. Thus, they really did not communicate well in class.

A year later

We ended up in the same class. That's ironic. Still, Alexis gave me the evil glare as promised, and I just brushed it off lightly. I had other girls to look at... What's more ironic was that the Math teacher dude was our form teacher. Crap again. I still remember the glint in his eyes when he forced me to sit next to Alexis.

Now

She has accepted me as a fellow deskmate, as I mentioned, and I make fun of her and she occasionally makes fun of me too. She calls me a dog. Well yeah it's quite sad right? I call her Alex as, too bad for her name. No matter how many times she asked me to stop, I just smile and shake my head.

And that's when I realised I like her.
