I have to stop looking and Benny and start looking at the road. I'm literately driving for another thirty minutes and all I want to do is look into Bens eyes and be a romantic sap and tell him how adorable he is. But I can't because I have to actually drive.

Evan was sitting in the back listening to some sort of Podcast. I could tell because of how quiet the car was, every once in a while you'd hear a few people yelling something. I grinned, wondering what Ev could possibly be listening to. I let him listen and didn't stop him to ask what, I just continued driving and occasionally glancing at Ben.

Evan didn't know how to drive, or else I'd beg him to drive the car. Due to Evans crushing anxiety, he told me he would never get behind the wheel of a car. Even held at gunpoint. Which is an odd thing to say considering we had about a 0% chance of that happening? I think he watched a lot of crime shows though, so I didn't question him when he worried about little things that would never happen to him.

We finally arrive at the dorm and I looked over at Ben who seemed to be in awe at the architecture. "Man Yale is cool!" he muttered, and I heard Evan chuckle in the back. All three of us started making our way back to the dorm room, Ben and I didn't waste any time and held hands the entire way to the dorms. You know, like boyfriends. Which we are. I think. Whatever we are, I was pretty happy about it. My heart was racing and I couldn't help but glance over at Ben every few seconds.

"We literally f-forgot your bags in the car," Evan stuttered, which I realized the kid did that a lot. I smirked and looked down at Ben who laughed with Evan. I'm really happy they can get along without any awkward strings attached. Usually Ben was shy around people and Evan had a form of social anxiety. Maybe they're just compatible because they're both so anxious?

I didn't know. I also didn't care to ask. I loved whatever friendship was forming too much to get in the way with psychology. I'm not even a psych major! We had to walk a bit to get to our dorm since we were freshmen our dorms were on the other side of campus, which made for a long walk each morning to get to our assigned cafeteria.

"Benny, how's college been?" I asked lovingly, Evan awkwardly took a step behind us to give us some room to talk to each other. I felt bad, was I excluding Evan? Ben didn't notice, or if he did he didn't bring attention to it.

"It's been crazy, new assignments every day. And they let you use the bathroom whenever you want. Isn't that crazy? You can just leave in the middle of a lesson and get this — my professor actually likes me! I've never had a teacher like me!" Ben smiled. I laughed and brought his hand up to my lips and kissed his hand.

"That's great babe," I enjoyed the blush that formed on his cheeks. "Oh hey, were practically here," we arrived at our dorm building. I honestly couldn't wait to show Ben our dorm. How exciting! I smiled excited for once to be going into a dorm building, knowing there was minimal homework on the other side.
