The Outsiders (Private Imagines)

Johnny- Jaylyndove

The school bell rang and everyone pushed and shoved their way out of the door in a mad rush. I packed up my school books quietly and headed towards the teachers desk to hand her my essay. I walked out the door and a boy ran past pushing me against the wall. My books hit the ground and scattered everywhere. I bent over to pick them up “You all right? Here I’ll help you” Said a soft voice from behind me. My heart leapt into my throat when I saw that it was Johnny Cade “Oh ugh. Thanks” I said. I hoped I wasn’t showing the nervousness I felt inside. Johnny was the same age as me, 16. I stood up and he handed me my books “I’ll walk you out”

We started heading down the street in no particular direction. We ended up stopping at the park and sat on the swings. I turned to look at him as he talked. I stared at his perfectly formed face. He had long dark greasy hair that draped over his forehead. I pulled my blonde hair in a messy bun, because of how short and wavy it was I knew it wouldn’t be long until it fell out. I wore dorky glasses that made me feel a little self conscious at times. Like people would think I’m a geek. I suppose that’s why I never spoke to many guys. I’ve had a crush on Johnny ever since I can remember but I didn’t have the confidence to approach him before now.

“I better head home or my dad will think I’ve abandoned him!” I said standing to walk off. 

“Jaylyn! Hold up!” He said grabbing my wrist. 

“What?” I asked nervously. I expected him to ask me not to hang around him at school or something. He’s a greaser and I’m not. I’m not a Soc either so I guess I’m in between. 

“Was wondering if I could see a bit more of you some time. Only if you want. If you don’t that’s fine I understand” He asked kicking a rock onto the pavement. 

“Really? Me?” I asked in confusion. He laughed and took a step forward holding my face in his soft hands. I was totally dazed and butterflies were forming like crazy in my stomach at this moment.

“Was thinking of becoming your body guard. Permanently” His voice mellowed out as our lips met. He held my waist and pulled me in tight I wrapped my arms around his neck and continued to kiss him. It felt perfect. Like everything in my life was perfect in that exact moment.
