Nostalgia ⇛13 Reasons Why Imagines

Mistakes//Zach Dempsey

@alyssaangeles here's your request ((:

•••
Y/n POV:
There was one thing you hated more than anything in the world. No, it wasn't Bryce Walker. In fact, it was something called "Catching feelings". The fact was, you had recently "Caught feelings" for one of your closest friends, Zach Dempsey. The only problem was, you weren't as popular as him, and not even close in features to other girls he had dated. But, today was the day, you were going to tell Zach how you felt.

•••
You clutched the straps of your school bag as you made your way to Biology. Once you sat down, you took a deep breath and you practiced your wording in your head. Cheesily enough, you felt the whole class warm up as Zach entered the room, taking his seat beside you.

"What's up, (Y/n)?" He smiles, placing his bag down next to him.

"Nothing much," You say, nervous to talk to him.

"Is everything alright?" He asks you, concerned. You gulp and nod your head, not wanting to cause a scene.

Throughout class you couldn't focus at all. All you had on your mind was telling Zach. So, you decided that straight after class you would tell him, no excuses.

The bell rang, causing Zach to jump up from his seat and leave the class. You sighed, you had wanted to tell him there. You pushed through the hallway, and eventually found Zach at his locker, surrounded by his friends.

"Hey, Zach, can we talk?" I smiled, trying not to mess up my words. His friends tried to contain their laughter.

He looked back at them and smirked. "If you wanna talk to me, you have to talk to all of us."

"Okay, then," You said, not expecting him to be so rude. "Well I kind of have feelings for you."

Bryce snorted, and Marcus started to chuckle. Zach shot them a glare, but then smirked down at me.

Zach's POV:
I was talking to my friends about the upcoming Sports Week, when suddenly I heard a small voice behind me.

"Hey, Zach, can we talk?" (Y/n) smiled. I could hear the boys behind me, trying not to laugh. They knew that I was friends with her, and always told me she was going to ruin my reputation. I had to play it cool.

I looked back at the boys and smirked. "If you wanna talk to me, you have to talk to all of us."

"Okay, then," She said, shock evadible on her face. "Well I kind of have feelings for you."

Bryce snorted, and Marcus started to chuckle. I shot them a glare, but then smirked down at her. I liked her too, a lot, but I couldn't ruin my reputation, especially not in front of my friends.

"Cool," I laugh. "Too bad it's a one sided relationship."

I see the pain in her face as tears fill her eyes. An instant pang of guilt goes through my body as I see her run away from me. I had lost her.

"Well done, my boy!" Bryce claps my back and I shove his hand off. I ignore the rest of them and walk away, desperate to find (Y/n).

After a few minutes of searching, I found her sitting outside on a bench. Her face was in her hands, and I felt my heart break for her. Why was I so stupid?

"(Y/n)!" I called. She looked up, rolled her eyes and started to pack up her stuff. "Please! Let me explain."

"There's nothing to explain!" She shouts, tears running down her cheek. Her (y/e/c) eyes were glassed over.

I walk towards her slowly, and she just stares back at me.

"I like you. I like you a lot. For all I could say I love you. I love you (Y/n) (Y/l/n)," I smile, and she doesn't say anything. I then pull her into my chest and her arms wrap around my waist.

She looks up at me, and I place a small kiss on her lips.

"I love you too, Zach Dempsey," She smiles.

And little did I know, that day marked the start of a forever lasting relationship.
