Meme: Waking up in...the wrong bed
Ben rolled over in bed and mumbled to something to himself, before rolling over more and falling off the bed, managing to wake up in the process and catch himself, rolling to a sitting position all while half awake. Thank you reflexes and muscle memory.

Wait...

Ben rubbed the sleep from his eyes and looked around the room. "...This isn't my room." He'd slept in the wrong bed? How the hell had that happened?

	"Maybe not, she probably thinks I'm a dork...girls don't like dorks, I think at least," he said and squirmed awkwardly on the spot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You are a dork, but that's besides the point. Besides, some girls are into dorks." Dante grabbed Ben's arm. "Let's go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay okay!" He whispered as he let himself be lead. The girl would get an awkward and shy "Umm...Hi" from this dork when they got to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ben smiled in his most friendly way and let Dante take point. It was his car after all too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm Monica and this is Danielle," the brunette said. The blonde smiled at Ben. "Can we help?" Dante asked. "Of course!" Monica replied. She handed Dante a sponge and Danielle handed Ben a sponge. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2013-10-06 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	More car washing, he could do that. Hell, he fought bad guys! Car washing with girls should be really manageable. He smiled at Danielle and took the sponge from her, trying not to get too wet in the process. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dante went with Monica to work on the rear of the car. "It's nice of you to help," Danielle said to Ben. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ben gave Dante a 'don't leave me to flounder at this alone!' look as he left. He was on his own...damn.

"It's nothing, I mean, you guys are washing the car for us, so it's only right to help you. I mean, it's not my car, it's Dante's, so technically you're washing the car for him and..." Oh he was rambling. Stop that. "So umm...what are you guys raising money for?"

	"Our cheering squad is raising money so we can go to Nationals," she replied. She smiled. "The help is still appreciated." Dante gave Ben a thumbs up sign. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	onthewall 2013-10-08 12:23 am UTC (link)
	"Congrats, you guys must be good," he smiled. Actually, he'd had no idea that the school's cheerleaders were that good, he just didn't pay attention to that stuff. He saw Dante's thumbs up and smiled back, taking some encouragement from that. He knew Dante had the best intentions, getting him talking to more girls and all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She beamed. "We are. We have a good chance at winning this year. How long have you known Dante? Is he a good friend of yours?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh we've known each other forever, families knew each other. He's awesome, and really busy. I think that guy is involved in every club you can be! Well...except cheerleading, but you'd know that," he grinned. He figured if the girl wanted to know about Dante, he'd totally talk his friend up. He could totally be a good wingman! And anyway, this topic of conversation was easier.

	"That's nice and I'm glad he brought you along with him. What clubs are you involved in?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh well uh...none really," he admitted sheepishly. He usually headed home right after school if he could help it. School made him feel cooped up and limited, and besides, if he left right away, he could usually get in some good web slinging action. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mad_skills 2013-10-14 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh," she said a little disappointed. "Um...would you like to hang out sometime?" Dante heard that and shot Ben a big grin. There may have been a thumbs up as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

See, if he could admit to the web slinging and crimefighting it'd totally beat any school clubs in terms of interesting. And he wouldn't look so lame. Ben was preoccupied with that thought when her question came. "Huh? Oh, sure!" He gave her a big friendly smile, and it didn't dawn on him what he might've agreed to until he saw Dante's thumbs up.

Ben gave his friend a 'what?' look before it hit him. Oh! Had he just...did she ask...wait no. No that couldn't be right. Was that hanging out or a date? Surely it wasn't a date right? Nah, of course not. But maybe! Some inward panicking now.

	Ben grinned and nodded his agreement, managing to get through the rest of the car wash with relative sanity before it was over and he got a chance to talk to Dante alone back in the car. "DANTE! What happened?! Help! I don't know what I agreed to!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wait, are you sure? She said hang out, what if that really just meant hanging out? Like friends or something. What if I completely got it wrong and show up thinking it's a date?! And it's not?! How can you tell to be sure?!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
