I love Gracie

　　BEN

　　Gracie feels guilty about the fall out with Calum and I don’t know how to cheer her up. I don’t care about Calum but I care about her. 

　　She is still as quiet as she was when we walked into the cafeteria. I flash her a smile, she carries her tray and heads for the table. We hesitate before sitting with the crew. Leah and Mira are not a problem. Calum shouldn’t be a problem but I am not sure Gracie can handle sitting at the same table with him. 

　　My worry dissolves when she settles down on the other bench. Mira, Leah and Calum are on the opposite side. I sit beside her, trying not to feel bad for Calum who shares eye contact with her. He shouldn’t have tried to replace me. 

　　Gracie and I are meant to be. Always and forever.

　　“Soo, are you guys like a couple now?” Leah asks. She’s eating something funny from a plastic cup.

　　“Yeah,” Gracie answers. She smiles at me and leans over to kiss my nose. “He’s my Benny.”
