BENITA

It was our first day back in school from the basketball tour, it felt great to be back where the air smelled familiar. Jessie was especially psyched because she had managed to talk me into talking to Mike that morning before classes started. So when we bumped into his twin sisters, she didn't waste time asking them where he was, and she dragged me in the direction they pointed at.
Then we finally saw him but Little was I prepared for what I saw. There he was, in the passenger seat of Lara's car, kissing her!
My knees almost caved it and I felt my heart sunk in my stomach, which I didn't understand why because that was only supposed to happen if I liked him, of which I didn't, but it still hurt anyways.

"C'mon Bennie, let's go before they see us" Jessie tugged at me

"I... I can't move jess" I replied "my legs won't move" my voice thinned

Lara ran out of the car and past us looking really embarrassed. Then he came out of the car, he hadn't seen us all the while we'd been standing there because he looked as though he'd seen a ghost when he raised his head up and looked straight into my eyes, he looked very scared and sorry at the same time, I couldn't hold his gaze for long because they were piercing into mine so I turned to walk away.

"Bennie wait!" I heard him call out my name but I didn't look back until I felt him grab my hand

"Bennie stay!" He said again

"Stay for what?" I asked, "and it's still Benita to you"

"Okay, Benita! Please I can explain what you just saw"

"You don't need to explain anything to me new boy, I'm not your girlfriend"

Then I realized he hadn't let go of my hand yet and it felt nice, his palm felt very soft, like a baby's. It was also warm and it enveloped mine perfectly. And for some weird reasons I let mine remain in his which was unusual because the normal would have pulled myself out of his hold almost immediately and sassed. Jess must have noticed this too because she asked for my bag to help get it to class, leaving me all alone with the new boy, I looked back at him and could swear I saw him smirking so I rolled my eyes.

MIKE

Why does her skin feel like butter? Why does it feel like the galaxy resides her eyes? And her lips? Her hair? Her sass and smile, I just can't... she's so beautiful, she's easily the most beautiful I have seen and would ever see...

"You can let go of my hand now new boy" she interrupted my inner self.

"Huh?!"

"I said you can bloody let go of my hand now!!" She half barked out

"Oh oh! I'm sorry I didn't reali...

"Yeah yeah yeah, whatever boy" she cut in

"You know it's rude to always interrupt people right?" I said

"Well it's not if they're not making sense" she slurred back
"Why am I waiting here for new boy? Incase it skipped your mind, I have classes and you can't just hold me hostage here gawking and drooling over me"

She knows? SHE KNOWS!
omg!
Boy do I need to get a hold of myself.
Gotta act right Michael
CONTAIN YOURSELF!

"Hello???!!!!!!!!!" She called out "are you going to talk or should I just leave?"

"No no! Don't go, I wanted to talk to you about earlier"

"earlier what?"

"Earlier... with uhm... with Lara" I mumbled

"Oh it's nothing" she hissed "if anything you guys looked cute"
