Be mine (Rodrick heffley x reader)

-22- confession

I woke up to some loud ass car drive by my house and got so scared that I fell off the bed.

„What the fuck ow..." I scratched the back of my head, then looked at the time. My expression immediately changed from sleepy to stressed as I saw I was late I quickly jumped up before I realized I don't need to stress about it since I can't go back in time and change the fact that I'm going to be an hour late anyway.

I got ready and walked to school. Before I could open the classroom door I took a deep breath, getting ready for an excuse. I made my way inside and everyone was looking at me. As I was still tired I just shrugged and sat down „y/n why are you late? Almost an entire hour? How do you explain that?" she crossed her arms.

„yeah uh we had a family emergency. I'm sorry, it won't happen again." she nodded and I smiled back, then rolled my eyes as I was taking out my school stuff from my bag. 

James seemed to notice „why are you annoyed?" he laughed in a whisper. 

„Well I'm just tired I guess. My family isn't even home." I couldn't listen to anything as I was too tired. When it was break time, I walked out, James following me. 

When I saw Rodrick from a little further away, all my tiredness disappeared and I couldn't hold back my smile. 

„Hey y/n what are you smiling a-" he was happy before he looked into the direction I was looking to and stopped talking immediately. 

I then suddenly came back to reality as I remembered what Rodrick had told me at the party. 

„Hey uh James you wanna sit with me? I don't know if Via will come to us but if she does, she can too." he smiled again „sure!" we walked over to a free place and started eating our lunch. 

„So uh there is something I might have to ask you." I looked up from my food for a second to answer „sure, go on" and then looked back down on my plate. 

„Are you and Rodrick a thing?" I widened my eyes and looked up at him „uh why do you ask?" I forced a laugh and looked back down. 

„Because you two seem pretty close" He raised an eyebrow „yeah well... I honestly don't know" I could read his mind saying he doesn't believe me just by looking at him. 

„Why is it so important?" I leaned back and gave him an annoyed look, obviously knowing why he'd ask me. „Because I love you" he held his hand to his mouth as he had just realized how loud he said it. I also widened my eyes because I didn't expect him to say it. 

Rodrick must've heard it as he turned his head our way. He made a step towards our direction but then decided to go back to talking with his friends. I honestly appreciated it as I didn't want to get involved in the drama.

„You're a great friend but I don't love you in that way." I said leaning back forward as I was nervous. He gave me a smile „Don't you like Ashley though?" I didn't know if it was the right moment to ask him about it but oh well „I used to. But I didn't know she'd be that mean to you."

„She wasn't even that mean to me. We were just having that kinda... you know? A weird relationship. But she's not a bad person" I lied. I knew she liked him and he liked her. And he was my friend so it didn't hurt. 

His smile grew bigger and I noticed that he was actually happy about this response. After break we got back to our classes and I took my place next to Rodrick.
