Imagine....

High School. Hormones. History class. There's a lot of "H's". You're just barely surviving this whole 'high school' thing. You're studious, but not boring. You just don't need teachers to know your name in a bad way. You're pretty, but don't like to show yourself off in a slutty way. You just like to be yourself. And this year, you were excited at what's in store.
-
It's the first day of grade 11, and you've just found your locker. You start to put your binders in. As you're loading your books into your locker, your locker door suddenly slams shut. You're left a few feet back, shocked. You look to your right, wanting to see who's in charge of it, and see Dan Howell.

Dan Howell, the schools popular jock. Oh, did I say Jock? I meant jerk. Yes he's amazingly attractive in a cute way, but you've never had class with him (luckily), but all your friends say he's a jerk.

He's just standing there, like nothing happened, doing his combination on his lock. Guess he's your new locker buddy.

"Uhm hello? You just slammed my locker shut." You say, trying to laugh at the end to make it more friendly. He turns to look at you, surprised you're even talking to him.

"Oh did I? Whatever. Sorry for squashing your nerd glasses or something"

"I am not a nerd. That was a jerk move, dickwad. Look, if you're going to be my locker neighbour, don't be an asshole. Because I'm not letting you ruin my year. Ok?" You reach over and slam his locker shut. You look at him like "bitch you wanna go?" But all he does is stare at you in shock. His open mouth turns into a humble smile. Then a smirk. You can see a glint in his eyes.

"Wow. You've got confidence. I like it. Not many girls will stand up to me. I'm Dan." He holds his hand out for you to shake.

You just stand there, completely confused. Wait, so, is his 'jerk act' just to make him look tough?

"No thank you. You're prolly germy as fuck." He chuckles. He gives you one last smirk before opening his locker again, grabbing a book, and walking away. You're completely dumbfounded at what just happened. The bell rings and you try to forget about it as you read your schedule. History class.
You find a seat in the middle, perfectly far away from the teacher yet close enough to take good notes. You're labelling the pages in your binder when you feel someone sit beside you. You keep labelling.

"Hello class, I'm Mr. Linden. I'll be your History teacher." You look up from your book and look at the teacher. You look to your right, wanting to know who your seating partner is going to be. Of course, it's none other than your locker buddy.

"What the fuq? Dan? Why are you sitting beside me?"

"Is this seat reserved? I should of known, beautiful ladies always have someone to sit beside them."

You blush. No, no. Don't let him get to you.

"No it's not. But you better not be annoying. I need History...to ...be historic" He genuinely laughs at your joke. He has a nice smile. You look down at your book and blush. You bite your lip. Maybe he won't be so bad.
~~
Finally the days over and you're gathering your things from your locker. You hear the familiar noise of the locker beside you being opened. As you close yours, you see Dan leaning against the locker, smiling at you.

"What now Dan? Keep following me and I'll make my own "Where's Waldo" book starring you."
He chuckles. "I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me. Who wouldn't?"

"Say what?" You look at him like "really bro?"

"Dude. I just met you. This is my first time talking to you ever. Plus you think I'm that easy? Are you used to just charming girls? Because that shit doesn't work on me. We have a whole year ahead of us, so good luck and good Bye Dan" you say walking to your car.

You don't look back, but you can feel his eyes burning into your back as you walk away.
~~~

The whole year you two managed to keep up this "Love - Hate" relationship 'accidentally'. He never asked you out again, but he still always laughs at your jokes, and subtly calls you beautiful, while acting 'tough' whenever someone walks by. Yet you stay strong, giving him back sass and making him work for you. There's no way you're going out with an asshole jock. Or is there....
~~
It's the last day of school. All of the drama, all of the friendships, all of the homework, and all of the...boys. It's all done. Finally. No more "H's". (Get it, I quoted the first lines)
You're cleaning out your locker, and so is your locker neighbour Dan.

"Man, Math eats up so much lined paper. Like there's probably so many trees In my binder that I could start my own "Dick's Lumber".
You hear Dan chuckle. You smile.
You slug your backpack over your shoulder. You stand up and wait for Dan. He soon follows, holding his bag with one strap around his shoulder, leaning on the locker facing you.
"You know, I'm going to miss your humour over the summer."
"Yea. Me too. I'm genuinely less funny when it's hot out"
Dan bursts out laughing.
"This year was fun. Thank you for...making it last" you say to Dan. He's staring into your eyes. Damn it, he's so cute. And...not an asshole. He just acts tough. You hate to admit it, but you're going to miss him too.
"(Y/N)? " you snap out of it.
"Yea?".
"Thank you for making this year memorable. You're the funniest, coolest , and most beautiful girl I've ever had the privilege to be locker buddies with. I don't want this to end. Will you please go out with me?"

Finally. Finally you're ready to say yes. You've never realized it until now, but you've fallen for this boy. And even though he can act like a typical jock, he's still soft on the inside, just like a freshly baked cookie.

"Yes. Yes I would Dan" you say biting your lip.

~~~
I really hope you liked this one! I'm sorry if Dan wasn't "Jock" enough, it's just hard to write him as a jerk since he's literally the total opposite lol.
TODAYS RECOMMEND:
The books of "The Secret Series". I read them a few years ago and they are really cool mystery books. They make great gifts for 11-14 year olds too. Check them out! :))
