I Knew You'd Fall For Me - Billy Tepper (Toy Soldiers)

(Requested by Squish98 , I hope you like it! c:)

To say you were a good student would be an understatement. Straight As, excellent record, and every teacher's recommendation were clear signs that you attended Regis High School to study and learn, unlike others.

"Others" being local rebel William Tepper, commonly referred to as "Billy" by everyone at school except you. Now, it is not that you had something against him or anything, but for the past week you just could not avoid him.

It all started when you were walking to your English class, your eyes set on your gigantic pile of books carefully stacked on your arms, hoping to get to your classroom without dropping any.

From one second to another, you crashed into something– which was actually someone, and saw the books from the top of the pile fall onto the floor. You perked up; this is the moment in every love story when the person you crashed into would help you with your books and take you to class, but that did not happen. All you got from him was the phrase "Watch it, nerd" and a few chuckles from his group of friends.

You crouched down and looked up to see the face of William Tepper right over you, with a smug grin on his lips. You scowled. "William...It had to be you". The mention of his full name made his grin falter, though he turned back towards his friends and acted as if nothing had happened.

You sighed and picked up your books, annoyed that the boy you found cute since you entered high school was such a jerk. So that's the end of this crush. As long as can I avoid him I'll forget what I found attractive in him.

Maybe you jinxed it.

For the next few days, he had been everywhere you looked. Some of your classmates mentioned how he was trying to be nice– in his own, "Billy" way, but apparently he was trying. Others said he liked you, but you could never be sure. At some point, you thought maybe you could give him another chance. Maybe he wasn't so bad at all.

These thoughts kept you up at night. Did you still have a crush? Was it even a crush? Was it just the very attractive thought of being the good girl-bad boy couple of the school? Maybe you just liked how he did not care about anything, opposite to you who seemed to care too much about everything. You were not sure, but it was definitely a distraction.

Still in your thoughts during the first class of the day, you were in a daze as you walked towards your locker. You did not notice that the reason for your dilemma was standing in front of you until it was too late.

Your nose collided with his back, making you stumble, and he turned around with that same amused expression he always wore. "You again? You're so clumsy" he laughed and nudged one of his friends. "She's gonna end up falling for me one of these days", his friend rolled his eyes while you walked away. Just who does he think he is? I'm tired of him, this is the final straw!

But it really wasn't. Damn, you needed to stop doing that.

Flash forward to today. Today was your best friend's birthday, so you decided to hang out all day and have a sleepover at her dorm, hopefully not getting caught out of your respective rooms after your curfew. The day was going great, classes were cancelled because of a meeting and that meant that you had more time to celebrate with your friends.

But, as it always happened at your school, it did not go as planned. It was obvious luck was not on your side when you entered your dorm building and immediately got soaked in water. Your friends gasped as the scene unfolded in front of them, and you could already feel your face burn from embarrassment. Thankfully, the only students outside of their rooms happened to be complete strangers and Billy's group of friends.

Wait. Billy's friends? I'm sure they're involved.

"Go on without me", you urged your friends to leave. They did not need to be around when you gave those guys a piece of your mind. You calmly walked over to them and tapped the one closest to you on the shoulder. "Excuse me, is any of you the culprit of this?". They all looked at you and visibly widened their eyes. They were doubting if they should tell you the truth and your patience was running short.

"Us? No...Billy?...Maybe" said the one with the earring, not wanting to expose his friend but also feeling guilty because of what happened to you. Speak of the devil. You thought as you saw him walking towards you. As soon as he got close enough, he let out an annoyed sigh.

"You? That was supposed to be for Snuffy! My day is ruined, thanks" he whined. You were furious. His day? His day was ruined? What about yours?!

"Oh, your day is ruined because your stupid prank didn't work out, my day is ruined because I got involved in it!". Everyone quickly went back to their own business and some even left the place, you were never really angry and no one wanted to be present when you finally exploded. Which was now.

You strode up to Billy and prepared to tell him everything you had bottled up since your first encounter, forgetting you were currently dripping wet from his little "prank". This was a bad idea though, as your shoe slipped because of the water and you fell right into his arms.

He was shocked. He was so used to being a flirt and even a bit (much) of an idiot sometimes (always), and now he was suddenly flustered because a pretty girl who he had his eye on for a while fell onto him? This was out of character and he could not let it be that way.

"Huh, see? I knew you would fall for me". That stupid grin went back on his face and you were done. Did you have a crush on him? Maybe. Could he have one on you too? Let's see.

You acted on instinct and planted your lips on his, relishing in the fact that he was obviously surprised at your unexpected move. It did not take long for him to act back, wrapping his arms fully around you and moving his lips against yours.

As you separated for air, a genuine smile fell on his lips, and he looked down at your wet clothes with an expression you could not read. "Let's get your dried up, I should have a towel in my room". You followed him, aware that his intention was not exactly what he had said.

Back in his room, you sat on his lap, not paying attention to your wet clothes or your forgotten sleepover. That was not completely your fault though, as Billy's lips distracted you from both your thoughts and his hands that found the hem of your shirt and lifted it up.

The door to the room opened and you froze. You had an image to keep, and if a teacher caught you making out with Billy Tepper of all people, you would never be seen as the same perfect student from before. As your imagination ran to the worst case scenario you heard a voice. "I sleep here too, you know?!"

You sighed in relief.
