More awkwardness...
I love how in romance books everything seems so perfect. They always say the perfect thing, at the perfect time and there is almost no awkwardness. Unlike real life unfortunately, we all aren't born with the perfect comebacks or the best speech. Especially me. I'm awkward by definition. For some odd reason Ben is a key trigger for me to trip up, well he was."Kayla, do you have a partner for the food assignment?" Ben asked as we walked to our next class. "No" I said, slightly embarrassed. I hadn't talked to Ben since last week and wasn't planning to. I was mostly trying to avoid him, because I mixed up my words enough. "I was actually wondering if I could go with you" I said. Where did that come from? I didn't decide to say that. It just kind of came out. I don't know why. Ben smiled. "You always seem to be one step ahead of me Kayla. I was thinking that too" He stopped walking and stared into my eyes. I had no idea how long to hold eye contact for so I looked away after a second. I looked at the ground and kicked a rock. Something grabbed my arm. It was a hand, Ben's hand. I looked back at him. "Let's go somewhere for this lesson. They won't notice. We can come up with an excuse later" he said. I was shocked. We weren't even that close and already he was asking me to ditch classes. Where would this lead? But for some reason. I again have no idea why, I said yes.
