James Buchanan Barnes Imagines

Hallway only

You were walking down the halls, your books clenched to your side as you talked with your friend. What felt like millions of people passing you, rushing to 3rd period.

High-school. A place of horror and fun all bunche up for 8 hours a day. You were known in your school, not popular but...known. Everyone talked to you but didn't consider you one of those popular girls. You didn't mind either, you didn't want all that attention on you or even the pressure of having to keep up your reputation. You did like causing a little chaos but that was all, nothing more and nothing less. You reached your locker punching in the combination code and grabbing your other books as well as listening to your friend go on and on about some guy.

"And then I saw him at breakfast! Ugh, he was eating like a pig! But that dosen't stop me from liking him more, you know?" She blurted putting her finger to her chin, waiting for your response.

You sighed closing your locker and lowering your head, "Nat, if you really want to get with Clint say so. Tell him or something. It's not that I don't love our talks it's just- you need to tell him. Not me."

You turned to face her and saw how red she had gotten. Her hair covering the sides of her face and her bangs just over her eyes. You let out a quiet laughing followed by a scoop and nudged her arm. She looked up and shook off the visible blush following you. You both had most of your classes together, except for Gym and Social Studies. Reaching the door you entered the class and immediately went off to the back, the most cut off and lay low place in the classroom. Followed by Nat, Scott came in and sat to your right. You two did your little handshake and began chatting between the three of you.

"I heard you were made Capitan of the Basketball team. MVP huh?" Scott teased playfully hitting your arm.

You scoffed, "Please. As if it wasn't hard enough to have Nat stop bragging. It took me 2 hours to have everyone on my team to shut up about it."

"Why would you want anyone to shut up about it?" Nat asked.

"Because she's shy." A voice came from infront of you.

James Barnes. Captain of the Football team, your best friend, crush, and current Science Lab partner. He gave you a sly smile and you shook your head in return. Your other friend, Steve Rogers, came in shortly after his comment and sat next to him. Steve gave you the same sly smile Bucky gave you.

"Oh shut up." You blushed pulling a strand of your hair down in your face, "It's not that big of a deal."

Steve scoffed loudly, "It is a big deal! You're MVP and Capitan! It's better than working for this bozo."

Bucky rolled his eyes and focused back on you, "Don't be like that, doll. It's a great thing. And you get bragging rights!"

"Exactly." Scott cut in, "You're a good player. Don't down yourself like that. Brag. Go. Tell the world!"

You chuckled at their attempts to make you feel like your Queen of the world- which was working. You nodded to all of them as the teacher came in and so did another student. Another friend. Tony Stark. Rich boy, Play boy, Fuck boy, and boy you name it. He smiled at the group before you and sat on Bucky's left infront of Scott. Once the teacher started talking he sat down his backpack and opened it, passing out snacks between the 6 of you. You all thanked him and continued your talk. After the period was over it was what your school called "Free time". 30 minutes of doing whatever you guys wanted before 4th period started. You guys liked to go outside and hang out at the tables after getting "Pre lunch" from the food court. It was sunny out, the umbrella above your heads and chatter between the group.

"Y/n!"

Hearing your name, you looked around and saw the source. Sam Wilson. Loved by all, funny, smart, and all above- a person who couldn't give 2 shits about this school. Everyone greeted him as he took a seat next to Nat, giving her a side hug before you all continued your chat.
