So, I decided to write a new Etharah story. It's gonna have a slight of Bennica. Just a slight. But I promise for all you Bennica lovers that there will be some. I'm so excited to start this story. I've put a lot of thoughts about this story.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own My Babysitter's a Vampire or its characters... or the title (if you didn't know, it's a song).

Well, without further ado, enjoy this chapter.

Ethan's POV:

So, here's the deal; the school's having a dance this year. It's in a week and people are excited. Everyone's been talking about it. And well, the person I wanted to ask out was Sarah. But every time I want to ask her out, I freak out and make an excuse to run away. Why do I have to chicken out? Was it the fear of rejection? Maybe. She was too pretty. Too beautiful. Why would she go to the dance with a geek like me? She was way out of my league.

Wait, maybe I was just a coward. Yes, that was it. All I had to do was build up the courage to ask her out. But what if she already had a date to the dance? But Erica would've told us if she had one. She always gets over-excited when Sarah gets a date.

Why was I so worried? It's now or never.

So, here I was standing with Benny, talking about the dance like everyone else.

"So Benny, who are you going to the dance with?" I asked, crossing my arms.

"No one. I'm going alone… unless some girl's checking me out." He winked at a normal girl walking past us.

I rolled my eyes, and then opened my locker.

"And why haven't you asked Sarah out yet?" He asked.

"Uh, well, she… I…" I didn't know what to say. I just went on like this.

"Just ask her out already," Benny said.

"No, what if she rejects me? What if she doesn't like me?" I asked.

"Come on, E. You're being ridiculous. You two obviously have chemistry," Benny said.

"What? What are you talking about?" I couldn't believe he just said that.

"Just ask her out," he said.

"Okay, but not now. Maybe later," I said.

"Later today," he said. "Either you ask her out tonight, or she'll be asked out by… maybe a handsome jock who wouldn't take his hands off of her."

"Fine, tonight it is." I gave up. He was right. I needed to ask her out.

"Speaking of tonight," Benny whispered. "Here comes your babysitter."

I rolled my eyes once again, and then spun around to see Sarah. The way she was smiling melted my insides. I even thought my heart skipped a beat.

"Hey guys," Sarah said.

"H-Hey Sarah," I said.

"Are you gonna flee off again?" she asked.

I shook my head. "Sorry about that."

"It's okay," she said. "Well, do you guys have dates for the dance?"

"No, not really," Benny replied. "And did anyone ask you out yet?" I think Benny knew the answer. So why ask it?

"No, I just wish someone does," she said, sighing. "Well, I gotta go to class. See you." She waved at us, and then left.

"See? She wanted someone to ask her out. It's your chance," Benny said.

"I told you I'm asking her out tonight. Gosh!" I said. "I think we should get to class. Come on."

== At night ==

Sarah was already at me house, playing dolls with Jane downstairs. I didn't want to go downstairs just yet. I was waiting for Jane's naptime so I can ask Sarah out without any disturbance. And besides, I was a bit nervous and scared. Sure we were friends, but something from the inside was making me nervous and shaky.

But then I heard Sarah's voice, saying, "Come on, Jane. Time to go to bed."

It was time to go ask her to the dance. Gosh, I was a nervous wreck. After a whole minute, a knock was heard on my door. This was what usually happens; after Jane's put to bed, she comes to my room.

"Ethan, can I come in?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah, sure," I said. I spun my computer chair around to look at the door, that was slowly opening, to expectedly reveal Sarah.

"Hey Sarah." I smiled.

"Hey Ethan," she said, and then sat on my bed. "Why were you in your room the whole time?"

"No reason," I said.

"Weird, it's like you keep avoiding me," she whispered, but it was loud enough for me to hear.

"I'm really sorry. I swear," I said. "But Sarah, I really need to ask you something."

"What is it?" she asked.

Now I was more nervous than ever. But it had to be done. "I was wondering maybe if you-"

But before I could continue, both our phones beeped. We took our phones and then began reading the text.

I just got myself a date! Sorry, I had to tell everyone. Too happy.

"Text from Erica?" Sarah asked. I put my phone on the bed beside me, and then looked at her, nodding.

She laughed, and then put her phone in her pocket, looking back at me. "So, what did you want to say?"

"I was wondering if you'd like to go-"

And again, I was interrupted. But this time, it was by my parents. Now Sarah had to leave. "I have to go. But maybe you can ask me later."

I nodded. "See you in school."

"Yeah, see you in school." She exited my room, but not before looking at me one more time, which made us both smile at each other.

Great, this was perfect. Now that I didn't ask her out, I'd have to do it the Benny way. The Benny way was the worst way. It's like I'm forced to ask her out. Gosh, why did Benny have to do this to me? I mean, I wish he could ask Erica out, but she already has a date. I knew she had a crush on him and he feels the same way. This way, Benny would just leave me and my love life alone. But it wasn't about Benny. It was about me being coward all the time. If I asked her out before, I wouldn't have gone through all this. Maybe I would've gone through humiliation earlier. Just maybe/

Why did asking a girl out have to be so complicated for me?

So, did you like this chapter? I hope you did, because next chapter will be better. And if there's anything you'd like to point out, tell me.

Tell me what you thought. Hated it? Loved it? Meh? Well, just leave a review. Reviews are kindness. :)

TEM out!
