Danielle Imagines⎹ DANIELLE X FEM READER

School Rivals

Ever since I could remember. I've had some type of rivalry with Danielle Marsh. It's just she gets on my nerves so easily. I always have to be better than her whether it's sports, grades, music, or beauty.

If I've always hated her, why do I catch myself staring at her in class? Why do I keep wondering what her hair smells like? And why do I feel like I wanna hold her hand? Of course, I haven't told anyone about these thoughts. It's too embarrassing. If anyone found out, I would die.

"Ok class," Mr. Han said. "I have finished grading your test. I will come around the room and pass them out to you." Mr. Han finished. "I was very disappointed with most of these grads. I thought you all were smarter than this." Mr. Han said as he passed out the test. "But some people stuck out." He said as he put my test on my desk face down.

I took a deep breath. I was very anxious about my grade, whatever it was had to be greater than Danielle's. I closed my eyes and flipped it over, I took another deep breath before opening my eyes. "Yes," I silently cheered I got 100%! Beat that Danielle!

I looked at the desk next to mine where Danielle sat. We made eye contact. I smiled as I showed her my grade bragging because 100% is the highest. She let out a chuckle before showing me hers. I felt my face drop immediately. She had 105%!!! How do you even do that!!???

She smiled and laughed. Out of anger I balled up my test in one hand and looked towards the front. I could still, hear her taunting laughter. I quickly faced her again. "How did YOU get 105%?" I eagerly asked. "You get extra points when you correct a question." She bragged. I let out a frustrated breath. "This isn't over Marsh!" I say as I turn to the front. "Game on y/l/n!" She replies.

Later it was P.E. Today we are playing basketball my specialty. As captain of the girl's basketball team with 2 championships on my belt, I knew I had this in the bag. When I stepped onto that court it was game time and I wasn't gonna lose.

I looked over at Danielle. I watched as she put her hair up into a ponytail. She looked determined, and it was kind of hot. Wait! What am I thinking? I need to stay focused and get my head in the game.

We lined up in front of each other as the game was about to start. "You're going down Marsh." I chuckle "We'll see." she smirks as she tightens her ponytail.

Coach throws the ball in. I jump up grabbing it out of the air and I charge for the other side. Danielle is on my tail but I can lose her. I fake left and then go right. I do a quick layup getting the ball into the hoop, and just like that 1st 2 points go to my team.

I cheer, running up to Ryujin to dap her up, then I look at Danielle teasing her. She rolls her eyes and we get back into the formation. We check the ball and I immediately pass it to Hyunjin.

As the game continued I could see Danielle get more and more angry with her team. It was very entertaining to watch. "Just get the ball in the hoop!!" She yelled. "It's not that hard!" She continues. We were up by 5 and there was 2 minute on the board, there's no way she's scoring that many points.

The game started up again my team scored 2 more points and then the buzzer went off.  "That's game!!!" I cheered. Danielle took the ball in her hands and threw it on the ground making it bounce high up into the air. She turns to her team and says "You guys are useless!!" before she walks off to the locker rooms.

I let out a chuckle and Danielle stops dead in her tracks. My eyes widen as she turns around and walks up to me. She stands right in front of me with her arms crossed and her eyebrows furrowed. I copy her stance as I step closer to her. "You think this is funny?!" Her eyebrow twitched as she looked up at me.

She was close, really close. She was so close I could almost kiss her. "Yes, it's very amusing actually," I replied smugly. On the outside I was calm but on the inside my heart was beating 100 miles per hour and my brain was going nuts. I don't know what's wrong with me.

"Just kiss already!" some kid yelled I looked towards the kid "Are you serious? That's so gross!" Danielle and I said in unison. I quickly looked back at Danielle my mouth agape, she matched my expression. "Like I'd ever kiss you!" Danielle looked me up and down before she turned around whipping me in the face with her ponytail and walking off.

Well, now I know what her hair smells like...

At lunch, I sat with those who I normally sit with. Ryujin, Lisa, Yeji, and Karina. Everyone at my table is on the basketball team with me. "Danielle looks good today," Ryujin states as she stares past my shoulder at Danielle "She looks good every day" I blurt out. "What!" Yeji said as her eyes went wide "What did you just say?" She asked.

Then I realized what I just admitted. I physically felt my soul leave my body. Why did I say that? " no, no, no, no! What um...what I meant to say was-" I started before I got cut off. "Nope! You don't get to back out of this one." Lisa said shaking her head. "You literally just said that you think Danielle looks good every day." Lisa stared me down. "I thought you hated her?" Karin asked. " I do!" I defended myself. " Well, there's a thin line between hate and love..." Ryujin mumbled as she leaned back in her chair. " Hey, I heard that!!" I pointed my finger at her.

Suddenly a chill ran up my back and I felt a pair of eyes on me. I quickly looked behind me and I locked eyes with Danielle. Her smile dropped and her face was full of embarrassment. She stared at me for a couple more seconds before she turned back to her table.

I smiled at myself as I got up from the table. "Woah, where are you going?" Karina asked, "Over to Danielle." I replied. "Oh, she's been staring at you for quite some time," Yeji says as she takes a big bite of her food. "Noted," I say before walking off.

Once I get to her lunch table, I swung one of my legs over the bench and sat down facing her. "What do you want y/n?" Danielle rolled her eyes " heard you were staring at me." A smirk plays on my lips " No I wasn't?" She looked at me and I could tell she was lying. "Yes, you were! I literally locked eyes with you." I said laughing a little "Maybe I was staring at someone else." She crossed her arms. " Oh really? Who?" I challenge her.

"Uh...Um," she stutters " Ryujin!" She blurts out. "Ok then, why were you staring at Ryujin?" I'm still challenging her. " I..Have a ... crush on her?" She said it like a question and that got me confused. "You have a crush on Ryujin!!" I spring up from the seat. "Yes, I do!!" Danielle sprung up after me. "You can't have a crush on Ryujin!" I cross my arms "What? Are you jealous?" she smirks as she crosses her arms and steps up to me.

Of course, I was jealous. I didn't want her to like anyone else but me. I wanted her to only look at me and only think about me because I only look at her and think about her. Let's face it I definitely have a crush on her. But she can't know that

"Of course I'm not jealous. You can't like Ryujin because she's on the basketball team!" I reply. " Ok, how does that make a difference?" she stepped back confused. " the basketball team is my territory, and Ryujin is my best friend," I explained. "Ok. So?" she was still confused. "What if I told you I had a crush on..." I looked at her table scanning who she was sitting with. " What if I told you that I have a crush on Minji? How would you feel?" I say looking back at Danielle. "Well, She has a crush on you. So, I would feel happy for my best friend," she replied without even realizing what she said.

By now the whole cafeteria was silent. Listening to every word she just said. I looked at Minji and she looked totally embarrassed. Her whole body was red and she looked like she was about cry. We made eye contact and that's all it took for her tears to start pouring. "Thanks a lot Dani!" she grabs her book and quickly exits the cafeteria "Shit, Minji wait." Danielle runs out of the cafeteria following Minji.
