A/N: This is for you johannaistrash ;)

Ben's POV
"Well I've known Poe for a while and he's only seen her as a sister or one of the guys. Now he's starting to say a bunch of sex jokes and get protective or her-"

"Get to the point." I interrupt.

"I don't trust him, I think he's going to try something."

"Ever thought that maybe Rey would want him to?" I say trying to get information out of him.

"She told me she's not into him. He's like her brother."

"So why did she agree to this date?"

"I don't know, I was hoping you would know."

"Fine, I'll try to find out why, but this discussion doesn't mean we're friends." I say motioning between us.

"Good." He looks away.

"Dodgeball today!" Coach shouts.

"Hey Dameron you may want to sit this one out." Gwen teases and Rey smiles, before joining up with Finn.

"Team Captains. Kenobi and Solo."

"Finally a challenge." I say looking at Rey.

She smiles at my compliment and crosses her arms, trying to look tough.

"Kenobi picks first."

"Gwen." She calls and smirks at me.

"Hux." I say in reply.

"Finn."

"Poe."

Rey looks kind of shocked, but continues.

"Ready, set, go!"

- - -

It nears down to Poe and I verses Rey.

"You can do it Peanut!" Finn shouts from the sideline and she rolls her eyes.

"Yeah Rey, you can do it." I mock.

I hear Poe scuff and I roll my eyes at him.

"Okay, we need a plan." He taps me on the shoulder as Rey and I have basically a staring contest and she keeps suppressing a smile.

"I'm not teaming up with you." I glance at him for a second.

A ball flies into his chest and bounces off hitting me.

"Team Kenobi for the win."

"Wow asshole." Poe scuffs.

"Don't get your briefs in a twist." I walk away.

"Good game." I stick my hand out to Rey.

"Good game." She shakes it. "By the way, I won."

"Yeah, coach just said so."

"No the staring contest, you blinked."

I chuckle. "Shut up."

"We still on for next Friday?" Poe asks coming up to us.

"Yeah." She nods and he leaves with Coach blowing the whistle for locker rooms.

"Hey Rey." I stop her. "Why are you going out with Dameron?"

"We went over this."

"Not exactly. Like are you into him or is it a pity date?"

"Do I look like the kind of girl to suffer through a pity date?" She asks.

"Honestly?" I laugh.

She pushes my arm. "We're going to be late."

She turns without answering my question and heads into the locker room.

I change quickly and some how manage to not sit next to Rey in any of my classes, until drama, where my mom pairs us together and winks at me.

"Check your phone." Gwen whispers.

"What?"

"You're welcome." She continues.

I roll my eyes and Rey comes over.

"Weird having all classes together, but I feel like I haven't seen you around." She says.

"Right." I smile.

"Okay, for this scene portray romance without touching one another." My mom tells the class.

"How should we-?" I ask.

"You know for a good actor, I thought you could play a dumb boy better." She smirks, mocking me from the time I called her a dumb actress.

I roll my eyes at her. "I'm serious."

"Hi serious, I'm dad." She holds out her hand and I stare at her. "I'm sorry is that not how the dad joke goes?" She smiles and I can't help, but smile back.

"Okay let's see what you have." My mom announces.

Shit.

"Finn, Phasma."

The class turns there attention and they freeze mid slow motion run towards run another.

The class laughs and my mom chuckles and writes something down on her clipboard... always making note of something.

"Ben, Rey. You're up."

"Serious staring contest." Rey whispers to me, so I just go along with it.

We face each other and I have to look down at her and she looks up at me.

I suddenly notice her expression soften and change.

Is she making her eyes sparkle on purpose?

I don't break eye contact, until I glance down to her lips and I see her take part of her bottom lip in.

I swallow hard and glaze back into her eyes.

"Thank you Rey and Ben. That was wonderful." My mom says.

I realize how close we are suddenly when Rey smiles and let's out a breath of air.

"Ben. I need to talk to you." Gwen comes up and grabs me.

"What, I'll check my phone." I tell her and reach for my phone.

"Use the hallpass." My mother tells us basically excusing Gwen and I to do whatever is so damn important.

I open my messages, as we step into the hallway.

New Message: Gwen
Gwen: Rey, is going with Poe to make someone jealous apparently.
Gwen: you're welcome. You owe me :P

"Okay, but you didn't find out the guy." I say.

"But I did." She smiles and pulls out her phone. "Here he is."

I look and see her phone on selfie mode. "It's on selfie mode."

"I know."

I scuff. "It's not me."

"Oh really?" She does something on her phone and holds it back up.

It's a picture of Rey and I from just now.

We are so close, but not touching. She's biting her lip slightly and her body language is giving away that she nervous. I'm looking at her lip and my body language shows I'm holding back from kissing her.

Shit, I really wanted to kiss her.

"You totally like her back."

"No I don't, that was acting." I brush her off.

"Really, well was this acting?" She zooms in on Rey's face.

Lip biting and her eyes are looking at my lips actually.

Does she like me?

I take the phone and look at it more closely, then find myself staring at her lip biting.

"Yeah, I'm positive you like her."

"I don't." I shove the phone into her hand.

"Then what's with the growing boner?" Gwen smirks and walks off.
