To Love A Gator (William T Alligator x reader)

A scale to remeber pt. 1

It's the next day, I'm sitting in Mrs. Jones's English class once again, barley listening to the her ramble on about literature, as I scribble pictures into my notebook. I didn't notice at first but most of the doodles were of William, I just couldn't get him off my mind. I blush at the though, my eyes drifted to his spot at the other side of the classroom. He was staring forward at Mrs. Jones, the bright sun from the window highlighting his perfect scales, he was very handsome. As if he could feel my gaze, his head turn to look at me. As our eyes make contact, he sends be that same adorable sharp tooth grin. God I could look at him all day, but that didn't last long as he soon turned his attention back to the lecture.

I could feel butterflies in my stomach, I wonder if he really likes me, there's no way some one as cool as him would like someone like me. My eyes return to the notebook in front of me, between the lines of my notes were little pictures of William, his dashing smile, and the occasional heart, it was a bit embarrassing that I had drawn so many without noticing. As I stare at my papers, I could feel eyes on me. I snap my head up, fearing that Mrs. Jones had noticed my lack of attention once again, but as I look, I can see she's busied herself with writing stuff done on the white board. Confused, my eyes wonder the room to find the eyes that I could feel on me. Two desks over I find the culprit, her head turned to me and sending a harsh glare.

It was Dyslexiella, one of the most popular girls in school, often seen with her lackey Veronica. Dyslexiella was a tall and beautiful girl, that got everything she wanted, it was easy to see why she was so popular, But why was she glaring at me. I forced my eyes back to the white board a little scared, she lets out a small huff as see does the same. Now it's even harder to pay attention, I really didn't want to get on her bad side, a queen of the school like her could ruin my reputation at school. To keep my mind of that, I began to jot down more notes from the lecture.

As the bell rang, the small classroom was filled with the sound of shuffling chairs as students rush to leave the room. I slowly pack my pencil and school work in my bag before picking up my notebook and holding it close to my chest, rising from my chair. William is conversing happily with Goobert as usual, throwing his arm over the smaller boy and laughing, Goobert smiles tentatively before they both leave the room together. I turn my attention from the boys as i began to turn to walk to the door, However I was stopped as my body made impact with something or rather someone standing in front of me.

Taking a step back I look up into Dyslexiella's, she looking down at me with a devilish smirk, standing just a step behind her is Veronica with an evil smile of her own. With a quit move Dyslexiella's hand stretched froward and grabs my notebook that I held securely at my chest. "Well, well, well what do we have here?" she tuts, "P-please give that back" I say as my hands reach froward to grab for the notebook. "And why should I?" she raised the notebook form my reach "Sounds like the little weirdo has something to hide, why don't we take a look inside" Veronica snickers looking over Dyslexiella's should to see the notebook as well. "Oh i agree" Dyslexiella's smirk grows wider "n-n-no please" I reach out ounce more. She sends a sneer my way  and shaves me backwards into my desk. Catching my hands against the desks edge, I looked up and see that their already looking through the many pages of my notebook.

"Now this is just rich" Dyslexiella lets out a small laugh as she passes the notebook back to a giggling Veronica "The little freak has a crush" she stops to let out a few more laughs before finishing "On William" she brings a hand up to cover her mouth to stifle her seemingly endless laughter, I shrink backing into the desk I was still leaning on, feeling tears rise in my eyes I try my best to hold them back. As her laughter ends Dyslexiella steps closer, shoving a finger in my face making me shrink away more in fear "Well listen here freak, William is mine, he doesn't need some quiet bookworm loser like you to ruin his reputation" My eyes drift up slightly to catch that Veronica was snapping pics of the pages of my notebook with her smart phone. Dyslexiella continue with her rant "You better stay away from him if you know whats good for you, I see you near him again and" she jabs her thumb over her shoulder at Veronica "Or we'll send this pictures of your creepy doodles of William to the whole school and they'll see just how much of a quiet freak you are" she brings her finger back to my face once more "You understand freak" I shake my head vigorously, her devilish smirk returns and she steps back before turning on her heel and heading for the door, waving her hand for Veronica to follow. Said girl looks Dysexiella's way before turning to me with a grin. She drops my notebook with a clutter to the floor at my  feet, it lands open some pages folding inwards as it hits the floor. Veronica send me one last smirk before turning with a hop in her step to follow after her friend.

Once the room is empty again, I scramble to the floor to grab my notebook, no longer able to keep my tears from falling. I sit there for a moment on the floor to calm myself before shoving the slightly beaten notebook back into my schoolbag. I bring my sleeve up to dry the tears from my eyes, hoping to cover up any prof that had been crying> I calm my breathing and make my way out of the classroom. Why did it have to be like this, how could I just stopping being friends with William, I've know him since we were young, to just end that on our senior year of high school, I couldn't possibly do that, I love him.... But maybe Dysexiella was right, maybe he doesn't like to be around me and sees me as some quiet freak. I sigh and try to get past the rest of the day.

I feel horrible, I've had to brush off William all day. He wanted to sit with me at lunch but i declined and walked off in a hurry. He asked about some notes in study hall but i did my best to ignore him. He tried to start up a conversation in between classes but I said that I couldn't talk at the moment. Each time I decline to be around him, his wide grim would fall and his shoulder would sink, every time I saw his reaction, a little part of me died, I don't want to hurt him. I let out a heavy sigh as I close the door to my locker. "Hiya (Y/N)" I jump back started before looking at the grinning girl standing by me "Katy, please so scare me like that" I let out a sigh with my hand over my heart to calm its beating. "It's not my fault that your always out of it" she says while lightly patting my back. "Well, did you need anything?" I ask fully turning to face her, Katy's eyes light up "Oh ya, Harris is having a party tonight, he wanted me to ask you to come too" she hops a little, excitedly "You will come, oh won't you please." she brings her hands together to plead. "I..um, you know I not big on parties" I say bashfully "Nooo please, you can do it, it'll be fun" Katy grabs my hand and looks at me with puppy dog eyes. I sigh again "Find but don't expect me to dance or anything and I'm bring a book" Katy starts jump happily ounce more "whatever just as long as you come, you need to get out of your shell" she lets go of my hand and starts to speed wall to Harris's locker "I'll go tell Harris that your going, I'll see you later tonight" she sends one last wave before disappearing around a corner.

Adjusting my schoolbag on my back, I turn leave the school. As I reach the front of the school, I see William and Goobert, I slow down to look at them. William seems unhappy, his scaly tail hanging limply behind him. As I approach, Goobert turns and smiles shyly at me, raising his hand to give a small wave, noticing Gooberts wave, William also turns to look in my direction sending me a sad smile "(Y-y/n) its nice to see you" Goobert says nervously, William perks up "Are you doing anything after school, want to hang out with me and Goobert?" he asks hopefully "Um" I squeak, from the corner of my eye I see Dysexiella heading in my direction, a glare visible on her face "Uh I really have to go right now" I say quickly and start to walk away as fast as I can without actually running. As I'm moving away I hear "Hi William, do you want to hang out with me" Dysexiella say shrilly and William mumble a sad oh. I can feel the tears once more. Im sorry William.
