The Wonder Years imagines

elisabeth walked the halls of Mckinley High School with very little confidence. she was usually seen with her books hugged to her chest or her head looking intently at the ground (she bumped in to too many people doing that though so it's rare you'll see her like that).

there was a time where she enjoyed being at school but that all changed when a rumour spread that she hooked up with corey desario, which she did not.

now instead of the kind smiles she used to receive in the halls, all she gets are guys giving her suggesting looks whereas the girls only roll their eyes in jealousy.

she arrived at her locker and entered her combination. 835919. her locker opened but shut again quickly. she jumped slightly at the sudden action and turned to see corey with his back leaned against the locker next to hers, smirking.

"what's happening, four-eyes? so there's been alot of talk about us and i was thinking, round two?" he teased. corey was one of those guys who were cheered on for chugging a carton of milk in less than ten seconds. he walked around school wearing a denim jacket that was three sizes too big and jeans that were too tight.

"you know that that didn't happen. and people are still talking about 'us' because you aren't denying it. oh and stop calling me four-eyes. it gets old, corey." corey raised his eyebrows at her and nodded his head.

"elisabeth, you're a real prude sometimes you know? i mean, somebody gives you the opportunity to make it looks like you have a social life and you push it away and go be a geek. god, why do you do this to yourself?" her eyes became glossy and she looked at the floor. a few of corey's friends came over, hollering his name. one of them draped his arm over her shoulder whereas the others smirked when they saw her.

"hey baby, when is it my turn?" jonathan raine asked, jokingly. all of his friends laughed loudly. elisabeth, embarrassed, ran towards the closest room she could find.

"sorry," she muttered as she bumped into somebody.

"elle? what's wrong?" kevin arnold, her best friend asked. kevin arnold was the complete opposite of corey. he didn't continue on rumours for his benefit, he wears denim jackets that are actually his size and he doesn't chug a whole carton of milk in less than ten seconds (it takes him fifteen seconds).

elisabeth ignored his question and entered the empty locker room. she sat down on the bench in between all of the lockers and tugged on her hair. a single tear escaped her eye and landed on her leg.

"elisabeth?" kevin's voice echoed throughout the girls locker room.

"mhm?" he entered the girls locker room (which is so against the rules) and sat down next to her.

"i saw corey and his mouth breathers talking to you. it was about the rumour, wasn't it?" she nodded and more tears came rushing down her face. "hey, hey, hey. no, don't cry. just ignore them, what do they know?"

"i'm so sick of them, kev. i really am," she harshly wiped the tears off her face and turned to face him. "whatever, i just want to go home. i don't like any of the classes i have later,"

"elle, you have english next. that's been your favourite subject since 3rd grade!" it's true. there was always something about english that interested her.

"i don't care anymore. i don't have a reason to be here." kevin looked at her like she was dumb. which she sure was not.

"are you crazy? elisabeth, you can't do this to yourself just because a couple of bozos picked on you!" elisabeth looked away and bit her lip. "elle, i'm sorry. i shouldn't have yelled at you. it's just, i-it's just, i care about you a whole lot, you know? i'll sort out corey for you if you want,"

"you would do that for me?"

"i could be your guy," he winked, cheekily. she laughed softly at him. they locked eyes with each other.

'god, i could drown in his eyes'

'god, i could drown in her eyes'

they both thought, as if their minds were connected.

slowly, they both began to lean in. they fluttered their eyes shut and his lips collided with hers, making the whole world disappear for them. it was an amazing kiss and although it was both of their first kisses, they felt like professionals.

they pulled away, slowly and smiled softly at each other.

"i'm sorry that your first kiss had to be in the girls locker room," elisabeth said, chuckling.

"what do you mean? i couldn't have imagined a more romantic setting," he joked. elisabeth playfully hit him on his arm. "come on, let's go talk to this cody or whatever his name is."

Hope you all liked it! have a good day kool kids
