Benny's POV

It's been a couple of days after the sleepover and things have been weird with Natalia. Things are so awkward and I just don't know how to handle it. Every time I see her or if I'm around her, I start pointing everything about her that's perfect, in my head of course. I know it's so weird, she's my best friend and I don't know what to do. Ever since that kiss I can't think of anything other than her. I try so hard to get rid of these feelings but I can't.

I get up from my bed and go downstairs. Natalia isn't here yet and that's a good thing. I see Katie on the couch and she was watching the TV. My mom was in the kitchen making breakfast. I go in there and hug her.

"Morning ma." I say. She turns around and hugs me real tight, I couldn't breathe.

"Morning Benny! How did you sleep?" She finally let's go and she turns back around. She starts putting some pancake mix into the pan.

"Uhm I barely even slept. It's kinda strange and I've been having these weird dreams." I chuckle nervously. She looks at me confused.

"Why strange? Did anything happen? Are you okay?" She asks me. She then looks at me and gasps. "Benjamin don't tell me you are doing drugs!" She screams out.

Oh god. "Mama no I'm not doing—"

She grabs my face. "Let me see your eyes." She demands.

"You're already holding my face—I'm not on drugs okay." She examines my eyes. I let go of her grip.

"Más te vale." She goes back to making the pancakes. I roll my eyes and laugh it off. I go to the living room where Katie was watching Batman.

My thoughts go running wild again and I start thinking about Natalia. I sat next to her and she gives me a look. Her attention not on the television anymore.

"Earth to Benny!" She says and starts waving her hand on my face. "Hello?" She keeps repeating.

She then throws a pillow at me and it hits my face. "What was that for?" I yell. I grab the same pillow and throw it at her.

"Benjamin, Katharine stop throwing stuff at each other." My mom yells at us from the kitchen. "Breakfast will be ready In a few." She announced.

"I was just trying to get your attention. You've been off these past few days what's wrong?" She asks. I look at the TV and shake my head.

"It's nothing." I reply. She raises an eyebrow.

"Nothing? If it was nothing I wouldn't be asking Benny." She says. My eyes are still glued to the TV. The show ends and a commercial for cereal comes on. I just can't focus on anything today. "Well?" Katie asks me and I look at her.

I sigh and cover my face with my hands. "I'll tell you. It's about Na—" I hear the door open and Katie and I look to see Natalia coming in. My heart stops and my hands started getting sweaty.

"Hey guys." She says. When I hear her voice it sends a lot of vibrations all over my body. I look at my arm and goosebumps have seem to appear. Is this how I'm supposed to feel when I see her. I have seen her everyday and this has never happened before.

"Hi Natalia!" Katie screams and I hear Natalia's soft and light giggle. I study her while I had the chance. She was wearing light blue jeans that fit her up to her hips. She had a blue Raglan on and she had her signature black converse. Her beautiful brown hair was let loose showing her natural wavey curls. She then catches me looking at her and I just look away.
