DEAD POETS SOCIETY ( Imagines + Preferences )

K N O X O V E R S T R E E T !

You were studying for your chemistry test with Niel and Todd the first week after winter break. Niel was off his high from his Midsummer Nights Dream play, Todd was on his high again because he was back around the people he loved the most, and you were neutral. You enjoyed your group of friends, but you hated Welton. So much. And also, even though the two boys you were studying with seemed to have a good time, your mind wasn't on balancing chemical equations.

It was on Knox Overstreet, one of the boys in your friend group. It was the day before school, and all of your friends were coming back from their homes. And you hadn't seen Knox yet. Even though it had only been two weeks since you'd seen your roommate, you missed his chestnut colored hair, nice personality, and handsome smile. You missed your late night talks, the one-on-one study groups, and just his presence.

" Y/n, did you find the answer for that one?" Niel asked me, his brown eyes casting over to my paper.
You definitely didn't have an answer, you were distracted. You had to get out of there, to your own room, and clear your mind. You knew Knox was head-over-heels in love with this beautiful girl named Chris, you were convinced he didn't like you anymore than as a close friend. You mumbled a goodbye to the boys, even though they insisted you stay, and walked out of the room. You weren't mad at them. You didn't want to drag them down when they were actually studying.

You got to your room, your eyes scanning the Knox's side, hoping to see him there. He wasn't there yet. Your mind in a haze and going a mile a minute, you made sure you were alone. You had to let your feelings out, and if someone heard you or even saw you, you would have to move countries because of the high level of embarrassment.

You were just gonna vocally let your feelings out, since you were alone, and that would be the end of it. No more thoughts or obsessing. Just let it out and let it go.

You took a deep breath and began. " I think I am in love with him and I'm scared. His personality is so different from any of the guys at Welton. And that's what makes him special. And the way he gets when he talks about something that he is so very passionate about never gets old, I could hear him talk for hours and never get bored. I love the way his brown hair waves in the wind, his captivating eyes, and handsome smile. I'm in love with Knox." You gasped, loosing your breath from talking so fast. Feeling very thankful for your private time and privacy, you turned around to open the door and go back to studying with Niel and Todd.

Only you were met with the one and only Knox Overstreet.

You almost passed out from embarrassment. He dropped his luggage and he had the most shocked expression on his face. You couldn't believe he was here. Instead of resenting you, he slammed himself into you and gave you a hug, lifting you off your feet and spinning you around. You laughed and once you planted your feet back on the ground, you asked,
" How much of that did you hear? He smiled and took your hands in his. " I heard it all, Y/n. I was going to tell you right when I got here that me and Chris are done, we realized we had too many differences so we split it off. And I knew that I only loved the idea of her, and that I am in love with the reality of you." He smiled, looking passionately into my eyes. Your face heated as you stared in disbelief.

" I meant what I said, Knox. All of it. And you're serious?" You asked in disbelief. He nodded. He pulled you closer as he asked, " Would you give me a chance, Y/n? I realize I only wanna be with you." In response to that answer, you hugged him again, this time much longer and more intimate.

Your days at Welton become much more bearable with Knox as your boyfriend. You loved every minute with him as he loved every minute with you. Life was perfect.
