( ONE SHAKE )
by aworldinsideaperson

She stood in front of her locker before first period sorting through the books and folders she needed through the day to make as few locker stops as possible. There was commotion around her but she blocked it out trying to remember if she would need her copy of Jane Eyre for her honor's English class or not. To be safe she tosses the book into her bag continues to rummage through her locker. She's lost in her own world, not noticing anyone around her. Not even the large football player, now captain, slide in beside her and lean against the locker to the right of her own. She sees him from the corner of her eyes and is startled by his presence. Even when he speaks she keeps a calm demeanor continuing her actions as before.

"Hey Y/N, how are you doing today?" He asked, a half smirk painted onto his perfect lips.

"I'm fine Reggie." She replied cooly.

The boy gulped and the smirk fell from his lips as he tried to keep his own calm facade before the girl. "That's good. I'm fine too." He pushed a smile onto his face, flashing his pearly whites to her but as he head was still shoved into the locker only the metal door could see the perfect gesture.

"I didn't ask." She sighed, taking a few books from her bag and stacking them into the locker neatly.

"I know I just, never mind. So I was wondering if maybe you wanted to-" Reggie began but he was cut off by her soft but authoritative voice.

"No." Was all she said.

Reggie pressed his head against the wall a frown now falling over his features. "But-"

"No." She said again. A smile word that shattered his day.

"Come on, j-"

"Nope." She replied once again cutting him off as she tossed another book into her bag.

"Can you let me finish my sentence?" He practically begged.

Y/N rolled her eyes. "Fine." She said turning to look at him expectantly.

Reggie's eyes grew wide and for a moment he forgot what he had intended to ask her but he quickly regained his control. "Thank you, just let me take you out to Pop's for a shake. Oreo is your favorite right?"

"No." She stated plainly again turning back to her locker.

"Oreo isn't your favorite?" He asked, he was so sure he had seen her order it dozens of times from Pop's.

Y/N rolled her eyes again and shook her head. "Yes it is but I'm not going to get one with you." She explained in an exacerbated tone, now becoming annoyed with the boy beside her.

Reggie frowned and began to beg and plead. "Please? I promise if you go out just this once I will never ask you out again." Reggie was not one to grovel but he was growing tired of the back and forth as much as she was.

Her eyes grew wide. "Never again?" She asked, wanting to be sure she heard the boy right.

"Never again, unless you want me to." He assured a smile growing on his face once again.

Y/N thought for a moment before swinging her bag onto her shoulder and closing her locker door to look at Reggie once again. "Fine, just because Oreo shakes are my kryptonite, and you're really starting to annoy me. But just one."

Reggie's face lit up at the answer. "One is all I need to win you over." He assured.

"But you have to drive me home after; they still haven't caught Jason's killer." She explained, straightening her back and looking up at the rather tall boy.
