Everything Has Changed ~ Benjey(on definite hiatus)

Chapter 2

This chapter takes place three weeks after the last chapter, they just moved, I didn't feel like doing multiple chapters based off boring background info.

Benji's P.O.V.

Barcelona doesn't look much different from Madrid, it's just a lot smaller than what I'm used to. I already have a feeling once I get to know people, there's never going to be a place I go where I don't know someone. I mean I might be exaggerating a little, but still.

"Sweetie why don't you go walk around for a bit? The school's only about half a mile away and it's open right now for summer tutoring and stuff, it'll give you an opportunity to see some of the city before you are busy with school." I knew she was going to say that, the truth is she really just doesn't want me in the house because I always get frustrated when unpacking things, but I guess it's the thought that counts, right?

"Sure mom, what time do you want me back?" I wasn't really sure if she actually cared if I came back tonight at all, and it doesn't have to do with the fact that she's a bad mom, it has everything to do with the fact that I'm annoying.

"Just be back before midnight, if you get back and the lights are off there's a key under the mat. Also, here's some money for you to get yourself some food, and other things. Have fun and make some friends, I know you've only been here for like 2 hours, but I want this to be a better environment for you. Also remember you can tell me anything." After all of that she hands me a lot more money than needed and closes the door on me before I had the chance to say anything. That last piece of her little tangent thing worries me, like am I over thinking it or does she know who I really was caught making out with.

Instead of planning anything out I just start walking, I already knew how to get to the school because it's just a quick walk with no turns, so I go there first. Just like my mom said it's open. When I went in through the front no one was at the desk, so I walked up to see if there was a place to sign in or what. There was a little clipboard that had a paper to fill out with my name, reason for coming, the date, and what time I came and left. It's 2 pm now, and I figured I'd probably only be here for an hour before actually venturing out and seeing the city. After filling everything out I just started walking through the halls.

This school is a lot nicer, but also a lot smaller than mine, I mean I guess that makes sense there aren't as many people who live here. While thinking, I accidentally bump into someone.

"Holy shit, sorry." I apologize, of course I had to make a fool of myself before school even actually starts.

"Está bien, no se preocupe"(It's okay, don't worry about it) Crap I forgot that I'm not in Madrid, where most people at my school spoke English. I mean he seemed to understand me, and I guess I kind of understood him. I'm definitely going to need my mom to help me out.

"So, I'm new here and my mom practically forced me out of the house to see everything. ¿Puedes mostrarme todo?" (Can you show me around?) I kind of hope he says yes, because he's kind of cute. He reminds me of Nick. Shit I just realized I need to call Nick when I get back home.

"Hola... estas bien?" (Hello... are you good?) Oh, yeah, I forgot I'm literally in the middle of a conversation.

"Um, yeah, sorry I didn't fully catch what you said." He totally thinks I'm stupid.

"Y-yeah I can help you look around, as long as you buy me food, to apologize for making me fall." Of course, he said that, I genuinely can't tell if he's flirting or not. Honestly I don't know if it'd be such a bad thing if he was.

"Obviously I'll buy you dinner, I'm sorry I'm so spacey. I'm just exhausted. My mom and I just moved from Madrid, and we only got here a couple hours ago, so I'm still recovering from being in the car since 7 this morning." I just realized we haven't told each other our names. Wow, great going Benji, you meet a cute boy and the last thing you think about is getting his name>
