"Are you going to ask her to the dance, Will?" Auston shut his locker closed before realizing that his political science textbook was still in there. Cranking out his locker combination again, he opened the locker and grabbed the book before shutting it again.

"I don't know, Auston," Will shrug his shoulders as he saw Y/N walking down the halls, talking with her best friends. "Do you think I should?"

"Oh, here we go again!" Mitch sighed out loud, banging his head against the locker door several times before Morgan walked up to them and pulled him away.

"Watch out, Marner, you don't want to get concussed and miss the game." Morgan chuckled to himself as he walked up to his locker and opened it, just to get his pre-calculus textbook. "Are you guys talking about the upcoming dance?"

They nodded their heads, with Auston adding a pointed finger towards Will. "Will's thinking of asking Y/N to the dance."

"Tell me again, why am I friends with you two?" Will groaned, leaning against the wall and earned Morgan's response of a shrug. By the time Auston started to open his mouth, the warning bell started to ring and the crowds in the hallway started to dissipate.

"Marner! Matthews! Nylander! Rielly! Go to your classes, boys; you don't want to get suspended for the game, do you?" The principal of the school peeked their head out of the door, staring down the boys.

"No, we don't! We'll get to class!" The boys nodded at each other before heading off to their classes.

"Mr. Nylander! What are the 3 branches of the US government?" The teacher cleared their throat, which caught his attention and he flinched.

"The three branches of the US government are the Judicial, Legislative, and Executive branches," Will answered the question, before the teacher gave him a nod.

"Good job, Mr. Nylander," the teacher congratulated him before continuing the lesson of the day.

As the class dragged on and on, his mind wasn't focused on the lesson, but instead, was focused on how to ask Y/N to go to the dance. He knew she might say no, but he wanted to ask her, no matter what the reply was.

"Hey, Y/N," Will smiled at Y/N as she exited out of her classroom, "can we talk for a moment?"

"Ok?" She looked at me a little unsure but followed me nonetheless. "What's this all about?"

"You know about the winter dance coming up on Saturday?"

"Of course I know about it," she rolled her eyes at Will, "I'm in student council after all. Why, what about it?"

The two of them stopped their tracks as they were met by Auston, Mitch, Morgan, and Jake.

"Will's afraid to ask you to go to the dance with him," Mitch rolled his eyes, looking down at his nails. "It's all he's been talking about. He was afraid that you might reject him..."

"Will, is this true?" She looked up at the Swedish boy, looking into his blue eyes. "Were you scared to ask me to go to the dance with you? Because you thought I might say no?"

"Yes and I'll be honest about it. I was scared that you might reject my proposal to ask you to go to the dance with me. I know it sounds stupid and child-"

"You don't have to worry about it, Will. Of course, I'd love to go to the dance with you. Be at my house at 7:30, got it?"

"O-of course. I'll see you then, L/N?"

"Sounds perfect. I'll see you then, Nylander."

And yes, I did change my username from @/mikkelboedker to @/leondraisaitl. Mainly because 2017 is coming up and I thought, 'why not change the username?' Don't worry, Mikkel's still a favorite player of mine, but I just wanted to change it for the upcoming year. Anyways, hope you enjoyed this imagine! Have a GREAT rest of your day or night and I'll see you later!
