13 reasons why imagines

4-Jeff Atkins[I was wondering]

"You look ridiculous in those shorts"

"Shut up Tony, you're smaller than me so you have no say in my gym clothes."

He puts his hands over his heart and fake cries "Ouch y/n, way to burst a man's ego"

I playfully push him as we walk into the gym. There are a few guys playing basketball and volleyball, girls walking around the gym talking, some girls practicing their cheer routine, and other people just sitting on the bleachers. That's what I and Tony do until gym class start in 10 minutes.

"You're still driving me home right?"

"Yeah, cause after I have to take it to the shop and it's right by you."

I roll my eyes, "You and that damn mustang" I laugh.

"You can never take a car to serious miss."

"Yeah whatever auto boy"

"Don't ever say that again please"

We both laugh and start talking about the game next week. As we are talking, Tony's friend Jeff comes and sit down next to us.I don't know much about him, but I know he's close to Clay and Tony. I know he's surprisingly not an ass like the other jocks.

"Hey what's up Tony". They do their 'boy' handshake and then he glances at me and smiles.

"Hey y/n" I looked at him surprised. I didn't even know he knew me. We aren't what you call, in the same 'popularity range' not that he seemed to care. As I looked at him I never realized how cute he was up close. That sounded kind of creepy.

"Hey Jeff" I smile.

"What are you guys up to?"

"Nothing we were just talking about the game next Friday"

"Oh, well thanks to Clay I can play" he smiles at me. I look away, not wanting him to see me obviously blushing at his look.

As soon as he said that, we heard a thud on the gym floor. We look and see Clay laying on the floor holding his head. Of course, leave it to Clay to get hit with a ball.

"Oh, Jensen" I whisper. "I'll be right back guys, I need to give Clay tips on catching the ball with his hands and not his head."

As I bounce down the bleachers, I hear the guys laughing at my statement. I jog to Clay and help him up.

"I fucking hate gym" he whispers.

"I'm sure gym hates you too" I laugh.

"It's that obvious huh?"

"Very much so" I laugh.

"What are you guys talking about up there?"

I look back up to the bleachers and see Jeff quickly snap his head back towards Tony as they continue their conversation. He was looking at me. I smile to myself.

"Hello, earth to y/l/n"

"Sorry, just school stuff, come up and sit with us unless you want these balls to keep kicking your ass."

He rolls his ey but starts walking towards the bleacher, knowing I'm right. When we get there Jeff is red and Tony is just staring at me. We all start talking and laughing. Jeff is in the middle of talking to Clay about his sad love life when Tony turns to me.

"Hey y/n um... I'm not gonna be able to drive you home today."

"What the hell Tony why? you know I don't like walking alone"

"Well because my buddy Jeff is gonna walk you home."

When he said that, I saw Jeff staring at me, looking somewhat anxious for my reaction. I choose to react coolly although my girly insides were screaming.

"Oh."

"Oh come on y/n/n I honestly think Jeff is pretty good company. You'll like him."

I know there was more meaning behind what he said but I didn't say anything. I look towards Jeff and a still oblivious Clay still rambling about Hannah and smile.

"Okay, yeah why not."

I and Jeff walk together in silence side by side while my hands are on my book bag and his in his front pocket. It's so silent it's almost laughable. I decide to break the silence, but so did he.

"So-"

"So-"

We laugh and he looks down at me.

"Sorry, you first." With his eyes still on me, I continue.

"So did Tony really blow me off, or was it his lame excuse to get us to walk together?"

"I'm the guilty one. I wanted to get to know you and wanted us to be alone."

I look away to hide my goofy smile and pull my hair behind my ear. I start to smell that damp air and know rain is about to come.

"Well, that's honest of you."

"Why thank you miss."

He brings up the dance and asks if I was going with anyone. When I was about to say no, it started pouring down out of nowhere.

"Shit, it's coming down hard!"

I use my sweater to cover my hair, but I can already feel myself getting soaked and my house is still about 6 blocks away.

"My house is right around the corner if you want to wait for it to settle down!" he yells over the rain. I think about it and its better than getting even more soaked.

"Ye-yeah okay!"

We jog to his house, and I sigh in relieve when we enter the warm house.

"My parents aren't home if that's okay."

"Yeah, that's fine." I stand there awkwardly, not knowing what to do. He noticed and spoke up.

"Um if you want, we can chill in the living room and watch tv until we dry off so I can continue walking you home."

"Yeah sure." I smile. We sit on the couch and Jeff gets a blanket for us to share and to warm up. He turns on Family Guy and we start laughing immediately. I didn't even realize how close together we became after the second episode. I was leaning into his shoulder with his arm around me and our legs were tangled together on his coffee table. I didn't know if he realized but I know one thing. I hope we stay like this. I snuggle closer to him and he looks at me.

"Y/n"

"Yeah"

"I have been wanting to ask you something" he seemed anxious again.

"So ask me."

"Will you go out with me?"

A smile forms on my lips "A million times yes"
