🌃 imagine: runaway prom queen

this imagine is for hanan1909
hope ya like it!

"Come on, dance with us!" your best friend, Annia and Roohi persuaded you. But you just smiled at them and allowed them to go on the dance floor.

Everything was not going according to your plan. Being ditched by your prom date, while awkwardly sitting on the no date table.

It was horrible.

You could see you friends having fun and you were glad that they're happy.

You heaved a exhausting sigh, trying to suppress the regret on saying yes on one of the jocks.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" you spun around, it was Joshua.

"That seat is taken." not bearing to be with another guy—

"Right now, it is taken. By me," Joshua leans with a mischievous smile.

" You're Hanan, right?" you were surprised at first when he knew what your name was but then shrugged it off when you noticed that your best friends were motioning you to talk with the handsome boy beside you.

" Joshua, I'm not in the mood to flirt with anyon—"

" I'm not flirting with you. I was just simply talking." he raises his brow, you were about to leave when Joshua caught a grip of your wrist.

"Don't leave." there was something different  in how he spoke those two words. It was like his playful expression contradicts  the lonely tone of his voice.

" Okay...."

The two of you watched the students having fun.

" Do you wanna dance?" out of the blue, Joshua offers his hand to you.

"Come on, at least save me a dance. Since I... sadly, don't have a date."

🌃🌃🌃

"I should tell you that I'm not that good in dancing." you felt flushed as he wraps his arms around your waist.

"Neither am I." he laughed.

You and Joshua held one another, swaying, but the odd thing is that you're hearing a continuous stumping.

"You look really beautiful..."

Comfortably, you rests your head onto his chest and you knew already where the stumping sound came from.

"Ouch!" you tried to hold back the pain when Joshua accidentally stomped on your foot.

He embarrassingly apologized.

" I've been meaning to ask... do you wanna get outta here?"

🌃🌃🌃

"Where are we going?" you anxiously asked.

"Sshh. It's a surprise." but you already knew where Joshua's leading you.

" The library?" his smile widens, when Joshua pulls out his phone and earphones.

"I'm confused as to why we just left the court when they're already playing my favorite song." you mutter.

" Not to sound like a super stalker, but I knew how you love being alone and... reading books." Joshua pushed the other earphone onto your ear.

He played your favorite song.

" How did you...? "

Joshua spun you around slowly.

" Because I notice you." Joshua shyly held you close, you could almost feel his breath on your neck.

" Joshua—I-I..." He pressed his lips against yours. Joshua raised your chin pressing the kiss deeper.

" I like you, Y/N."

And that made the world stops.

"A-Are you being serious?"

"What?" Joshua asked, caught off guard.

"No—Joshua, don't be like that. Look, today has been one of the saddest things that ever happened to me—"

"And if this is a prank or something. You got me." Joshua shook his head and was about to hold you—

" Hanan, listen. I regretted not being able to ask you out—but the point is, I've always liked you. Really."

You were about to exit the room when a sudden pain sears on your foot making you fall on your knees.

"Y/N, a-are you okay?" you were about to stand up, preventing you to feel any pain again Joshua carried you in his arms.

You were about to stop him, when he shushed you by throwing you up so that he could stand.

Making you curl your arm around his neck.

" Well...this is awkward." he whispered.

🌃🌃🌃

" You don't have to drive me home, Joshua."

He ignored your comment and continued driving.

"You sure fell hard when that jock ditched you." Joshua honestly spoke.

"Ouch, that really hurt." you acted like he hurt you.

" That's the truth. Although, it's quite unfair for me. Since I just confessed with you and...you won't believe me."

" I believe you, Joshua." his eyes met yours with what you just said.

" Look, you just confuse me." you looked down.

"About what?" Joshua pressed.

"About your motives. Think about this, when the heartthrob in school miraculously notices you and tried to ask you out whom he just happened to be he didn't knew that she really exist."

That made Joshua to stop the car. Joshua looked mad and dull.

"Y/N, I really like you. The moment you just walked into the class since freshman. You didn't knew that, of course. Since I hopelessly dodge and tried to ignore my feelings but... I can't ignore it, anymore."

"Whether you don't want me or want me to stop liking you, I won't. Because what I feel for you, is real and sincere."

"Hanan, just give me a chance. Please." Joshua bats his eyes at you with hope through his eyes.

"Just say yes, runaway prom queen." Joshua  knew already your answer when you reluctantly held his hand.

"First, the answer is yes and stop calling me that." with that Joshua, quickly pulled you into a kiss.

"But you're my runaway prom queen."
