Unexpected...

I was walking down the school hallways with my head down, as usual.

I made it to my locker and my best friend Ethan was waiting for me, I was the schools laughing stock, but Ethan had been there for me every since 1st grade.

"Hey Ems."
"Hey E."

I shoved my books into my locker and turned around to hear whistling and hollering.

Ben and his football friends were walking by, all the girls almost dropped their pants just looking at him, and his beautiful green eyes, with his luscious brown hair.

"He's not worth it Ems." I blushed at Ethan's remark.
"You're right." I turned back around and got the rest of my stuff for class. Ethan and I started walking away, when.

"Hey! Where do you think y'all are going?!?"
"Erm class." I reply, Ben's friends always picked on me.
"Erm class." He mocked, causing everyone to burst out laughing. Except Ben and Ethan.
"Come on Ems let's get out of here." Ethan whispered into my ear, I nodded and we walked away from all the laughing students in the hall.

***

E and I were sitting on the football field, eating lunch. "How come you never wear your glasses to school?" He asked, "oh. I just don't like them, people would laugh at me more."

"No Ems I think it's cute."
"Thanks E." He blushed, Ethan West blushing at my comment?

Then it hit me, literally hit me. I held my shoulder in pain and there was a football at my side with a note attached.

Ben had been standing across the field, while his friends we're distracted. He shrugged and went back to his friends.

"What's that?"
"No clue" I replied. "Probably some prank."

I said rolling the ball into the field.

"Why don't you read it?"
"Like I said E it's probably a prank."
"Right."

The next day

I was walking along the sides of the hallway, staying out of peoples way. Then I'm being grabbed by the wrist into the auditorium.

"E I don't have-"
"I'm not Ethan."

It was a deep husky familiar voice. I turned around to Ben, "Hey Emma." He smiled, oh goodness his smile could melt even an elephant. That doesn't make sense but pretend it does!

"H-hi?" I came out like a question not a greeting.

He let out a laugh, a really cute one at that. "Did you read my note?" He asked nervously. "Erm no? Why?" He looked at the floor, in disappointment.

"Oh um it wasn't important."
"Are you sure it seems pretty important?"
"Y-yeah I'll get going."
Then he left, I was definitely confused now. Where was this prank leading.

***

"I know right, Ben's being weird."
Ethan laughed, I never realized how angelic his laugh was.
"This better be good." He shoved me outside with my lunch and his tray.

We sat in the grass we sat in yesterday, "Ems?"
"Yeah?"
"Can I tell you something?"
"Yeah anything E." I said holding my chin in my palms.

Then it hit me again. "Hey!" I yelled at Ben, he shrugged again. "Read the note this time." E shrugged.

"You sure?"
"Yeah why not?"
"If you say so."

I took the tape off the ball and carefully unwrapped the piece of paper.

Meet under the bleachers.
~ Ben <3

"This is the worst way to tell someone you wanna beat them up." I laughed
"Let me see." Ethan took the paper from me reading it.

"Oh." He laughed, but it wasn't genuine. Fake.

"You ok E?"
"Hm? Oh y-yeah." He looked away.
"I'll just go see what he wants real quick."
"Sure meet you back here?"
"Definitely E." I smiled and he smiled back.

***

"You wanted to see me?"
"Yeah, y-yeah I did." Ben smiled.
"Whats up?"
"I needed to erm, tell you something."
"I-i like-" He cut him self off and came towards me, connecting his lips on to mine.

I was shocked but then kissed back, the kiss wasn't how I imagined it to be. His lips were soft but didn't fit mine.

He pulls away, with his cheeks flushed red.

"Ben i-", I paused "I don't like you back."
"Huh?" His eyes were now filled with sadness, but understanding.
"I-i understand." He seemed hurt. He began to walk away, I feel horrible.
"Ben wait!"
"Hm?"
"We can be friends?" He smiled, widely.
"I'd like that." I smiled and hugged him, he hugged back.
"Thank you! Now I have to do something!"
"Alright." I ran away running back to the spot where Ethan and I had been sitting.

"E?!" He wasn't there, then I tripped over falling into someone.

"Oh hey." I nervously smiled, I blushed.

He chuckled "hi."

"So erm I have something to tell you." He raised his eyebrow, "and what would that be?"

We didn't move positions, and I was a bit flustered.

Ahh what the heck!

I smashed my lips onto his, he smiled and kissed back. His lips were different than Ben's, they were soft, comforting, and overall amazing.

I never saw Ethan this way, but I did now.

I pulled away, "s-sorry" I got up. He blushed and ran after me, pulling me in by the waist. He kissed me again, this kiss full of passion and affection.

I was so dizzy, I could faint.

He pulled away and placed his forehead on mine.

"Well that was unexpected." He whispered, his warm breath lingering on my lips.
