Jezebeth’s P.O.V.
Ben looked down at me and I kept trying to guess in my mind why he’d want to talk to me privately. In the last couple of months we’ve been becoming good friends which I’m beyond thankful for. He made skipping two grades easy for me just by being there. “When we get back to the order do you want to go on a date with me? I could take you somewhere really nice.”
“What?” I glanced around because it was hard to look him in the eye and then I noticed Ruth was staring at me. “You want to go on a date? With me? Why…?”
He chuckled. “Because I like you.” He wasn’t the person I wanted to hear those words from but they were still nice to hear. “So what’s your answer?” How could I go on a date with him while I love Ruth? Was that even fair to him?
I started to play with my fingers
