RODRICK ONE SHOTS/IMAGINES

Nerd. (Chapter 14)

The high school halls were a cacophony of chatter, lockers slamming, and the occasional burst of laughter. In the middle of this lively chaos, you were in your own little bubble of academic focus. You were known as the "school nerd"—a title you wore with pride, as it reflected your love for learning and your commitment to your studies. You were currently seated in the library, surrounded by textbooks, notes, and a mountain of assignments.

Rodrick Heffley, on the other hand, was not exactly known for his academic prowess. He was the lead drummer in his band, The Loaded Diaper, and his presence was usually more associated with noise than with quiet study sessions. Despite this, he had decided to seek you out for a reason that wasn't immediately clear.

As you were deeply engrossed in a complex algebra problem, the library's peace was abruptly shattered by a loud thud. You looked up, surprised to find Rodrick standing in front of you, his drumsticks tucked into the back pocket of his jeans and a mischievous grin plastered across his face.

"Hey, brainiac!" Rodrick said loudly, drawing the attention of nearby students. "Got a minute?"You sighed, trying to stay calm. "Rodrick, I'm studying. Can't you see that?"

He leaned on the edge of your table, clearly unfazed by your annoyance. "Yeah, but you're always studying. I thought maybe I'd come over and, you know, hang out."

You raised an eyebrow, trying to concentrate on your notes. "I'm kind of in the middle of something here. Can't this wait?"

Rodrick didn't seem to take the hint. "Come on, just take a break. It's Friday. You should be out having fun, not stuck in here with all these boring books."You glanced at him, noticing the playful glint in his eyes. "And what exactly do you have in mind for 'fun,' Mr. Heffley?"

He sat down across from you, his grin widening. "Well, I was thinking we could head to the park, maybe catch a movie. Or if you're really set on studying, I could help you out. I mean, how hard could algebra be?"

You laughed, though it was more out of frustration than amusement. "I appreciate the offer, but you're not exactly known for your math skills, Rodrick."He shrugged, undeterred. "True, but I'm great at distractions. And I'm pretty sure a break would do you good. Besides, we don't have to do anything too crazy. Just a little time away from the books."

You sighed, knowing he wouldn't let up easily. "Fine. How about we take a short break, but then I'm getting back to this. Deal?"Rodrick's face lit up with victory. "Deal! But I'm picking the place. You've been cooped up in this library long enough."

Rodrick leaned against his van, a mischievous grin playing on his lips. He glanced at his watch and then at you who was approaching with an excited bounce in your step. You were known for her vast knowledge of obscure trivia and your impressive skills from doing math. Tonight, she was taking a break from her usual routine for a night of pranks with Rodrick.

"Ready to cause some chaos?" Rodrick asked as You reached him.

You nodded with a determined smile. "It's not what I usually do but sure."

Your first stop was the local grocery store. Rodrick and You slipped in unnoticed and quickly set to work. They filled a few empty boxes with fake spiders, then arranged them in the cereal aisle. As they watched from a safe distance, the reactions from unsuspecting shoppers ranged from startled shrieks to nervous laughter.

"Nice touch with the spiders," Rodrick said, giving You a high-five. "You're a natural at this."

You beamed, chuckling and smiling. "Thanks! Let's hit the park next."

At the park, you guys used a bag of plastic worms and set them up around the playground. Watching from the shadows, they saw a group of teenagers doing tricks on the swings. The prank was a success as one of the teens screamed and jumped, causing the whole group to scatter in surprise.

Rodrick couldn't contain his laughter. "This is fantastic! I didn't expect you to be such a prank master."

You laughed, your cheeks flushed with excitement. "I've had some practice. But I have one more idea."

With a devious glint in your eye, You led Rodrick to the high school's front entrance, where you both rigged the door with a harmless but startling air horn. Y'all took cover and waited. When the first student walked through, the air horn blasted, causing a symphony of surprised yelps.

"Mission accomplished!" You declared triumphantly as Rodrick clapped you on the back.

As the night drew to a close, Rodrick and You sat on a park bench, exhausted but happy. The stars shone above them, and the cool night air felt refreshing.

"You know," Rodrick said, glancing over at You, "tonight was a lot of fun. We should do this again sometime."

You smiled, your eyes sparkling. "I'd like that. It's not every day you get to pull pranks with Rodrick Heffley."

Rodrick grinned, tipping an imaginary hat. "Likewise, Y/N. Here's to many more prank-filled nights."

As you both parted ways, you both felt a sense of satisfaction. Not only had they pulled off a series of epic pranks, but they'd also discovered an unexpected friendship.

And as Rodrick walked home, he thought about how sometimes, the best nights come from the most unlikely pairings.
