~Weird~ Connor Murphy x Reader (DEH)[COMPLETE]

SIX

Connor

As much as I hate to admit it, Jared was right. Y/N is awesome, an I'm already lucky enough to have her as a friend.

God, who am I kidding, right? A freak like me doesn't deserve someone like her.

I thought about whether or not I should tell her about how I feel. I thought kind of stuff happened in movies, but no.

My phone vibrated loudly on my bed. I opened it and saw three messages.

Y/N- CONNOR

Y/N- DUDE

Y/N- GUESS WHAT JUST HAPPENED

This must be serious, I thought.

Me- what?

Y/N- so you know how the Mixer is next week?

I remembered that it was actually October already and the Mixer is an annual event that our school does. I was told I had to drop off Zoe at the dance since freshmen year.

Me- yea

Y/N- derek asked me if i could go with him.

Y/N- you think i should go?

Derek was a pretty cool kid. I actually almost hit him with a printer when I was aiming for Mrs. G in second grade.

I could see Y/N saying yes to him.

Me- sure

Y/N- really?

Me- i don't see why not

What am I doing?

Y/N- i'll give him a chance

Y/N- he's pretty nice, right?

Yea, he probably hates me.

Me- yea he's alright

Y/N- i gotta go, see you on monday, okay?

Me- see ya

There was a knock on my door. "What?" I answered. The door opened and the little demon stepped in.

"Hey, you know it's next week, right? The Mix-"

"Yea, I know." I leaned back and stared at my phone. "Y/N's gonna be there with some kid, Derek."

Zoe laughed, "Oh, Derek? He's cool. Nice to know she's going with someone."

I raised an eyebrow and stared at her, "What do you mean?"

"She just goes for the free food and hangs out at this weird place at the side of the school. Which I mean, relatable, but..."

I looked down and let myself smile a little. That definitely sounds like the
Y/N I know. Zoe looked at me weirdly.
"You've been acting weird lately. When was the last time you smoked one?"

I scoffed, "Like two hours ago." That was actually true. Zoe sighed as she left. I flipped her off behind her back.

Y/N's eyes were fixed on the poster hanging on the bulletin. I walked over to her. "Hey," I said, "Looking at it again?" She ran her fingers through her hair.

"Should I really go?"

I rolled my eyes, "Come on, you should."

That doesn't sound like me.

"But-"

I interrupted her, "Come on, Derek's nice and you're just.. you're awesome. You'll have fun." She shrugged and stared blankly at the poster again.

"I guess I'm just overthinking everything. Listen, I have to go actually, I have a lot of homework and stuff."

I nodded and waved, but then my mouth suddenly opened, "Y/N?" I called out.

Y/N turned around quickly. "Yea? Something wrong?"

My eyes widened and I stammered, "Oh, uh, sorry. It's nothing. Just, go ahead."

She let out a confused laugh and turned on her heel. "Okay, see you later!" When she exited the building, I turned around and was startled to see Alana Beck, probably one of the smartest girls in this school.
"You totally like her."

"Jesus, oh my- You scared me!" I held my chest. "What do you mean!?"

The girl laughed, "You seriously do! Ask her out to the Mixer!"

I could tell she just got here because she didn't know about Derek. "She already has someone to go with, and I don't go to those kinds of things anyway."

I made my way to my locker and Alana followed me. "Did you tell her how you feel?"

"No! We're just friends." I slammed my locker hard but she didn't seem to get startled.

"You should tell her how you feel while you still have the chance." She pushed her glasses up further.

Jared suddenly strutted over to us. "You should listen to her, Connor, she's pretty smart." I rolled my eyes.

"I don't like her."

"You love her." They both said. I sighed and made a beeline for the exit. Neither of them followed me.

October 12

My hands gripped the steering wheel and I tried not to go past the speed limit. "I don't understand, why can't you just get one of your jazz band friends to drive you?"

Zoe, who sat in the back, crossed her arms. "Oh I don't know, mom just wants me to be safe by putting me in the arms of my dear old big brother." She had a sarcastic tone.

"Whatever." I made a left turn to the school and parked in front of the building. "Alright, get out."

"You're not picking me up, you know."

"I know, just get the fuck out."

Zoe exited the car and walked inside the lit up building. I got out of the car as well but went to the spot at the side of the school. As I walked, there was a sitting figure I could make out. When I got close, I definitely knew who it was. I could almost see her shimmering eyes through the dark.

"Y/N?" I leaned forward.

She clearly had a pissed off expression when she tilted her head towards me. "Oh, hey."
