WDW IMAGINES AND PREFERENCES (requests open)

self conscious || zach

I sighed in the mirror, rolling my eyes at the size of my body. I never really liked how i looked. My fat rolls, and my double chin..

Im not really fat. its just that im a little chubby. And i hate it. It frickin sucks when i see models on instagram and television and whatever. I can barely go into a Pink or Victoria's Secret without having a breakdown.

I whined as i put my jeans and shirt on as i headed down stairs to pack up and leave.

I arrived at school and walked in the building. I grabbed my stuff out of my locker as i felt a hand go around my shoulder. I turned around to see zach. zach and i were sorta friends, but i would never take it to the next level.

even though it seemed like he wanted to.

"how are you y/n?" he asked, just when i wanted to leave.

"good." i said, trying to leave. Lately, zachs been acting weird. He always wants to talk to me all of a sudden. There's no way in heck that he likes me. No one would.

"hey come see me at lunch i gotta tell you something." he said as i nodded and walked away. Something? Oh jeez. my lil sis anxiety is not going to take this well.

I got through my class pretty well, except my conscience was bugging me. Zach kept staring at me like he was nervous or something. I tried my best not to stare back.

•lunch•

I sat at a table with my best friend all alone, but she couldn't help but notice that i was nervous.

"yo y/n why are you so nervous?" She asked.

"zach told me he was going to tell me something. and im nervous." I said, picking at my food.

"oh my god the way he stares at you? he totally likes you." she squealed.

"me? i dont think so. he must like someone like ashley or kiara." (popular girls)

"aw come on its-" y/bf/n was cut off by zachs hand on my shoulder.

"y/n can we talk?" he said. I nodded as i stood up. Out of the corner of my eye, i could see y/bf/n giving me a look.

I followed zach down the hall to the teachers lounge.

"zach? the teachers lounge? what is it that you have to tell me.?"

"youll see." He said as he opened the door and let me in. I sat on a couch and zach sat on a couch next to me.

"y/n i brought you here to tell you something. something ive been keeping in for about two years. y/n i fell in love with the way you do everything. Your smile, your personality.." I already didnt like where this was going. Tears started to fall down my cheeks as i couldn't look him in the eye.

"i really like you y/n" he said.

oh my god. i never thought of zach that way. I barely even like myself? im literally so fat! how could anyone like me?

"um.. i have to go. sorry" i said as i walked out of the room. I ran down the hallway as i tried to stop the tears from falling but they wouldnt stop.

I ran into the bathroom and sat on a couch. (yes, your bathrooms were luxurious, bc you are in high school.) I covered my face. I couldn't believe it. no one has ever liked me and i didnt know what to think.

Soon, y/bf/n came rushing into the bathroom. She hugged me as i cried on her shoulders.

"what did he do. ill kill him." she said, shaking her head.

"he likes me." i muttered. but she didnt here me.

"what?"

"i SAID HE LIKES ME!" i said.

"isnt that a good thing?" She asked.

"no! its not! Im ugly as a troll! and what he doesnt know is that i HAD FEELINGS for him back then but he didnt show them back! so i ate to get the feelings away and now he wants to go back? how am i supposed to tell him?" i said, straining my voice as i could feel the vains popping out of my neck.

"y/n listen to me. you are not ugly. you have such an amazing personality and anyone who is close to you, agrees with that. but you have to decide whats best for you in this situation. i wish you the best. now i have to go back to class. but dont worry, if you dont want to come back i can make an excuse for you." She said as she walked out and i smiled.

I leaned back on the couch and sighed. I wasn't expecting this. Then, the bathroom door busted open and guess who it was? Zach

"zach youre not allowed to be in here. leave before you get in trouble." i said, staring at the ground.

"no i dont care. tell me whats wrong. did i say something wrong?" Zach asked as he sat next to me.

"no you didnt say anything wrong." I said.

"did i do something?" he asked

"no you-"

"do you not like me back?" he asked.

"NO ZACH! ITS NOT THAT" i bursted.

"then what is it?" he asked quietly.

I let out a shaky breath.

"zach. i really appreciate everything you've done but.."

"but what?"

"i never thought of you that way.. not because of you, but because of myself. i mean heck youre cute and all, but theres so many other girls you can fall for. like the popular girls that are begging on their knees for you. im the last girl anyone would think of. i mean have you seen my face? my body? the whole school would laugh at me!" i croaked.

Silence. Zach didnt know what to say. My heart broke when a single tear fell out of zachs eye.

"ill see you tomorrow zach." i said as i stood up and left.

•••

It had been two days since i told zach what i told him. part of me felt kinda sad but i knew i had to get it off my chest.

When me and zach would pass in the halls, he would shoot me sympathetic looks. I tried not to talk to him but i knew something needed to be fixed.

"okay class, pass your papers to the front, y/n will be collecting them." the teacher said.

I wrote down a quick note to pass to zach.
When i reached his desk, i placed it in his hand without looking at him.

The note simply said: meet me at the teachers lounge in fp (free period)

and so free period came.

zach walked into the lounge, silence piercing the room as he sat down.

I sniffled and looked down.

"y/n.. im so sorry for.. everything.. tell me what i can do to fix anything." He said in a hushed tone.

"why do you like me zach?" i said, bluntly.

"y/n i dont think you're fat at all. you're beautiful inside and out, especially inside because you have an amazing personality, and if you don't want to havee anything to do with me than thats fine. but please don't think of yourself that way."

I smiled at the words he said. I truly felt thankful for zach.

"thank you zach."

"i dont think you understand y/n. you're truly truly beautiful." He said.

I looked down to hide myself from blushing.

A hand lifted up my chin and now i was face to face with zach. Before you could even say Dean his lips were on mine. I felt a zoo go off in me.

"i like you too zach herron"

wow this was kinda long
