Benny Weir Fanfic 2020

Chapter One

Maddy's Pov

"I can totally fit the most popcorn into my mouth", I laughs.

Ethan looks at me. "Yeah right".

"Try me", Benny snickers.

"Yeah? Go", I say. I shove popcorn into my mouth while counting.

Five.

Ten.

Fifteen.

A high pitched scream comes from outside and i cough the popcorn up.

"Oh shit, your sister", I groan.

Realization kicks in for Ethan and Benny but im already out the door.

Oh my god.

I cringe backwards into the house as I see the headlights, but Ethans dad already saw me.

Mrs Morgan is holding a shaking Jane.

This isn't gonna go well. I slip away from Benny and Ethan, who are spewing popcorn up on the porch.

Gross.

I sweep the food off the counter and throw the trash away.

Maybe it'll earn us bonus points.

"You let your sister wander outside by herself?" Ms Morgan asks in disbelief.

"Y-yeah", Ethan stutters.

"It was my fault, Ms Morgan", I try.

"Maddy, we both know this isn't your doing", Mr Morgan tells me.

"Thought I'd give it a go", I shrug.

"Sorry Ethan", Benny says. He grabs my hand. "Since this is a family discussion, we're just gonna go..... wait in Ethan's room", Benny announces nervously. He sprints to the staircase, dragging me along by my arm.

"Real smooth Benny", I tell him sarcastically.

"You know it", he says. Benny pushes his ear up to the wall.

"That's it", I can hear.

"We're getting you a babysitter", Mrs and Mr Morgan say at the same time.

I slap a hand over Benny's mouth before his laughing can get louder.  

"Don't", I warn him. Ethan bursts into his room, face red.

"What happened?" Benny tries to say, pretending to be clueless.

"Yeah yeah", Ethan mutters.

"Cmon man, what gave me away?" Benny mocks.

"That stupid smirk, for one thing", I tell him as I lean against the wall.

"A babysitter", Ethan groans into his pillow.

"Sucks for you, but I gotta go. You ready Maddy?" Benny says.

I give a dirty look before turning to Ethan.

"Sorry Ethan, but good luck", I tell him.

He shoots me a thumbs up, not showing his face.

Benny's Pov

"You could've at least felt bad for him", Maddy tells me as we walk down the sidewalk.

"It won't be that bad. Who knows? Maybe his babysitter will be hot", I laugh.

"Maybe", she says.

Cmon, give me some type of reaction.

I stuff my hands into my jacket pockets.

"I don't know about you, but I'll be hanging out with ethan while he has his babysitter over", Maddy mutters.

"Awww, how cute of you", I tease.

"Stop. He's like a brother to me".

"And what am I?" I ask her curiously.

She thinks for a moment, then shrugs.

Well, that's something at least.

"I think you got a little something right there", I tell her. She stops walking. "What? Where?" She asks me. I move my hand up to her face and brush my thumb against her lip.

"Right there.....is nothing", I snicker.

"Haha, very funny", she rolls her eyes.

"If you like me, just say it", she says over her shoulder.

I catch up to her. "I like you".

"I know", she says simply.

"I'm gonna keep trying", I warn her.

"I wouldn't expect anything less from you, Benny", she sighs.

"You will fall for me".

"Well sure, if you trip me".

"You will fall in love with me", I correct.

"Mmm...." she thinks. "Time will tell. But no".

"That's something I can work with", I tell her as we stop in front of her house.

"Goodnight, oh dearest love", I tell her as I bow.

"Night weirdo".
