trip「troy zarba imagines」

4. "i think i love you"

"class, this is troy zarba, he's the new student" Mrs. Gonzales told her 3rd grade class. "go sit right there" she pointed towards 8 year old Samantha Beck. "hi. i'm samantha." she told him. "but you can call me sam." he smiled and nodded. "hi sam." thats where it all started.
-junior year. (so like 7 years...or something like that)
her alarm clock went off. 6:45 am. troy should be there at 7:15. she took her brown curly hair out of the low ponytail and put gel in it to revive the curls. now, was the hard part. outfit. after what seemed like hours she settled on a solid yellow shirt and black jeans. she did basic makeup of concealer, powder, blush, lip gloss, and a slight highlight for the heck of it. yellow and white butterfly clips dotted her hair as she slipped on her checkered slip on vans. which were customized with sunflowers. when she was ready, she went to the kitchen to grab her airpods and hydro flask. she clipped the yellow airpods onto her belt loop and decided to take a couple pictures before troy arrived. just then she heard a series of honks. troy was here. "by mom! troys here!" she grabbed her lanyard and left the house.
"do you have your lunch?!" her mom yelled after her. she held up the yellow lunch box before entering the car.
"hey troy" she said buckling her seatbelt. troys smile was so wide it was hurting after just seconds.
"hi, sam" it was her turn to smile when he placed his hand on hers. "how was your night." he asked, his eyes fixed on the road. she perked up.
"it was great. my mom made lasagna, my absolute favorite, then we went for ice cream." troy couldn't help but admire her as her eyes lit up. "then we watched harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban, which is my favorite harry potter movie. then i went to sleep." she smiled. her smile could light up a room. and if not that, troys heart. he's absolutely in love with this girl. he had to remove his hand from hers to turn into the school as she fiddled with her yellow acrylics.
"thanks troy. even though you take me every day." she smiled again. grabbing her book bag and stuffing her lunchbox into it.
"see you at 3?" he nodded watching the brunette walk towards the school.
"hey sam?" she turned around. "ask your mom if you can come to my house at 5:30" she nodded confused.
-after school-
"hey troy! my mom said i can come. also look what i made in 7th period." she held up a yellow beaded bracelet that said "sunshine" in the middle. his heart fluttered as he smiled at the innocent girl. "and see? i made one for you too!" she handed a blue beaded bracelet to troy. he read it "blaze?" she smiled. "yea sunshine and blaze. sounded cooler in my head." she said looking down embarrassed. "no no. it's perfect" and he wasn't lying. he loves it. they got into the car and he dropped her off
"remember 5:30." she saluted to the boy and ran inside. kicking her shoes off she ran upstairs to get ready. she showered, put product in her hair, then dried it. her brown curls bounced at her shoulders. she put pink butterfly clips lining up with her temples. once again she did simple makeup. this time adding baby pink eyeshadow. she put on a matching pink top and a white plaid skirt, a normal chain, and white slip on vans. she looked at the time on her watch. 5:15. she walked downstairs to get a white shoulder purse.
"troy should be here in about 15 minutes." her mom smiled.
"so troy finally asked you on a date.?" she blushed. "it's not a date mom. at least i don't think." she smirked.
"alright. but when you walk back through that door with a new boyfriend. i wont say i told you so."
"well-" just then there was another series of honks. "troys here. see you in a few hours" she kissed her mom on the cheek and left.
stepping out of the house she waved to troy. still wearing her "sunshine" bracelet she noticed that troy was still wearing his "blaze" bracelet.
"you didn't take it off?" she asked touching the blue beads.
"never" he smiled. there weren't just butterflies in her hair. they migrated down to her belly.
"so where are we going?" she asked as he started driving.
"you'll see" he smiled as they drove for about 10 minutes. then they pulled into the park. he lead her to a beautifully decorated gazebo.
"troy!" she put her hands over her heart. "you did this for me?" he smiled as they sat down. he prepared dinner and everything.
once they took a few pictures and ate their steak, troy took her for a walk. on the bridge over the stream.
"sam?" she looked up. her eyes still sparkling. "i-i need to tell you something" he took her hands in his. "i think i'm in love with you." her eyes widened. "since that time in 3rd grade when Mrs. Gonzales day me next to you. it just grew as we became best friends." she smiled so bright, he swore the lights around them dimmed.
"i think i'm in love you too" she blushed as he pulled her in for a passionate kiss. finally! they walked around and went to get ice cream. and at 7:30 he dropped her off. giving her one last kiss.
"good night, my princess" he said to her.
"good night my prince" they parted, smiles wide.
"what did i say?" her mom said, sitting on the couch. looking at the television.
"oh, mom how'd you know?" her mom smiled. "because i'm your mother" sam walked up the stairs, changing into her pajamas as happy as could be.
