Double Trouble

*Time has passed in school, it is 2:30 PM you just finished your last class. Just as you and Ben were about to head walking to your home, walking distance is about 15 to 20 minutes so you weren't too worried. Today time seems to be going faster now that Ben is by your side because in each class he has somehow made teachers believe he was a new kid. Though you were sure there wasn't any way to make this day get any better, he was assigned to sit next to you whether it was across, behind, or in front of you. If this was a way Ben planned to win your heart then he certainly is slowly making progress. Though you couldn't help noticing that there were a lot of girls turning their gaze at Ben, not just in the classroom I mean everywhere. From the hallways to the library, the cafeteria to the gym every girl of all ages and year were looking at Ben. *

*Apparently, a couple of girls during the first 3 periods have taken pictures of Ben and sent them to all their group chats, along with Airdropping them around the school. Messaging: "OMG New boy looking cute! Does anyone know who he is? So cute! What's the new boy's name? Is he single? Is he rich? Looking stylish." So when the girls noticed that Ben was hanging around you all day without batting an eye at them, it kind of irritated them a lot. Feeling a slight bit insecure about them glaring in your direction, hearing them talk about how it should be one of them flirting or standing by Ben. Squeezing your backpack you couldn't help but avoid looking at Ben, sensing something was wrong he reached for your shoulder. *

*Holding you in place for a moment he asked you to turn around and talk to him about how you felt about him being in your school. *

Ben: Do you not like me being here? Did I do something wrong Y/n? I can't help but notice that you seem upset about something. I know that I should've told you ahead of time that I would come to your school, I thought you would like this since we could get to know each other better. That and because I sorta... wanted to know what you were dealing with at school. 

Not that I was planning on murdering anyone who hurt you or something like that, I just wanted to stay by your side, even if it means dealing with studies. 

Ben's mind: I also wanted to make sure no boy was looking at you or trying to take you away from me. I should be the only one to gaze at you, hold you, and cherish you. 

Y/n: It's not that Ben I just feel a little awkward since... you know... other girls are looking at you.

*Ben hadn't realized that girls were catching a glimpse of him all day long. He figured they were looking at you for being cute and popular. That is until he looked over your shoulder and noticed a group of girls giggling when his eyes met theirs. Seeing how some of them started blushing or began eye-batting him, made him see what you meant by feeling awkward. Sighing Ben asked you..."*

Ben: Would you do me the pleasure of holding my hand for the rest of the day... my princess? *Extends his hand to yours*

Y/n: Only if you don't mind me being a little shy since I haven't held a guy's hand in so long. *Slowly your hand intertwines with his as you make a slight nod*

Ben: Hmm... I don't know how I should react to that response. Know that I have no interest in any other girls, wanna know why? *He leans towards your ear* It's because you are the cutest girl I have seen in my undead life. *He laughs while patting your head gently* I may not know a lot about you, and yes... this may be too fast but I want to make a relationship with you. I'll wait as much time as you need, that was my plan when I arrived at your school. 

That I get to slowly love you for who you are, both the girl I see outside of school and the one who has their side. I just hope you will feel the same for me or slowly start feeling something for me, we don't have to rush anything just like you wanted. I will respect your wishes and call you by your name instead of giving you a nickname until we are official. So don't worry about me cheating or chasing another girl anytime soon, as far as I see you are the one who caught my eye.

Y/n: Mmm... I hope so, you did make my heart pound twice already today you know. 

Ben: Really?! Um, I mean how and when?

*Just as you were about to answer his question, a certain couple decided to ruin the mood by raining in on both of you.*

Emily: Why if it isn't Y/n! Not planning on introducing the new boy to us? Don't tell me the two of you are dating because last time I checked you were still engaged with a certain someone. Though he does seem like a good catch for your 55th time this year though I wouldn't expect much from you. 

Kevin: Babe I'm right here listening to your conversation, I know you wouldn't leave me for this slim playboy. I am the best on the soccer team after all not to mention one of the most good-looking guys in our Junior year.

Emily: Of course not my handsome devil, I just like seeing you jealous it brings out the possessive side of you. My Kevin here has asked me to join him at his family's gala event saying he wants to properly make me his future bride. Isn't it funny y/n? You used to have such a huge crush on him back when we were 6 years old in North Hill Elementary School during 1st grade. But now look at us, we're in Western High as teens nearly one year away from graduating! 

Y/n: ...And your bragging about this because?

Emily: Kev's hang with the new boy for a bit while I and Y/n chat in private. Ya know? Girl-to-girl stuff.

Kevin: Sure I got to give him at least some ideas and warnings about the lunatic girl over here. Come on pretty boy, let's go get some ice cream for the gals while you and I have a short discussion. 

*Ben at this point had a scowl on his face, almost seeing his disguise fading away. Holding his hand you whisper to him that everything will be fine and that you would love it if he brought your favorite ice cream to cheer you up. Reluctantly, he sighed nodding while caressing your hand gently as he let you go. As soon as both the boys walked across the road Emily smiles at you while she holds you by the shoulders gazing at you with empty eyes. Oh, how she enjoyed seeing the same old distraught expression that suited your appearance.*
