Ruel Imagines

24.✿❀✧*

[UNEDITED]

"Y/n! Come on!"
"Wait!" I yelled from upstairs.

I quickly put my coat on and grabbed my backpack before running down the stairs.
When I reached the bottom of the stairs, my brother threw me an apple.

I caught it, thankfully.

He sat down on the counter and started texting someone.

"If you weren't leaving yet, why did you rush me?"
"Because I have to be somewhere in a bit, but my friend is going to take you.

"Dad!" I yelled.
He came running downstairs.

"Ethan is going to make me go into a stranger's car."
"What?"

"Dad, relax. I have to be somewhere else for club, so I'm just going to have Ruel take her."

"Oh, okay. I haven't seen him in a while."
"Who's Ruel? I don't even know him." I whined.

"He's in my grade. Ruel used to come here everyday after school, but something happened."
"What?" I ask, curious.

"Nothing. He's on his way. I have to go. Bye, y/n, bye, pops." he said, picking up his keys.

"Dad, can I just walk?"
"No, I trust Ruel."

I bit the inside of my lip.

"When's mom coming home?"
"She had to work a late shift. She'll be home in a bit."
"Can't I go with mom?"

The doorbell rang.

My dad looked at me and said, "I'll get the door."
I groaned, but grabbed my backpack from the counter.

"Ruel! How have you been?" my dad greeted him.
"Good, you?"

I walked to the living room and saw my dad conversing with him.

"Ruel, this is y/n. Y/n, be polite."
"Mmm sure." I said.

"Hi." he smiled at me.
I nodded.

"Y/n-"
"Bye, dad!" I said, pushing Ruel out of the doorway and closing the door quickly.

I followed Ruel to his car and he said, "So you're Ethan's sister?"
"Unfortunately." I said, looking out the window.

"Um-"
"I'm sorry, but I'm not in the mood to talk right now."
I heard him scoff.

"What?" I ask, irritated.
"I didn't do anything. Why are you so annoyed at me?"

"Nothing. Sorry."
"What's bothering you?"
"Nothing."

"Clearly there's something."
"Look, I don't want to talk about it."

"Okay, then."

For the rest of the time he drove in silence, with the radio playing faintly.

"Thanks for taking me by the way." I said, getting out of his car.
"No problem."

I closed and began walking towards the school.

"Wait, y/n!"
I turned around.

"Can I get your number?" he asked, putting his hands in his pocket.
"Why?"
"Oh, um, because-"
"I'm joking, sure."

He smiled and handed me his phone. I quickly typed my number in and changed my contact name.

When I handed him his phone, our fingers brushed.

"Thanks. I'll see you around?"
"Yeah. I'll see you later." I smiled, walking away.

"Oh, wait-" I said, turning around. "I'm sorry if I came off as rude."
He smiled, nodding.

He's really cute when he smiles.
