Thomas Brodie-Sangster imagines ♡

#1 // roommates

Y/N pov

I happily skip back to my dorm and shut the door, smiling like a complete idiot. I don't really care though, I'm way too over the moon.
Today, someone actually asked me to the dance that the school's holding in 2 days. I wasn't planning on going, because I know no one would ask me, and my crush has a girlfriend.

I know, it's a bummer, but I've gotten used to it. I always try to look at the good side of things, at least my crush is happy, right?
Well now is not the time to think about him, because I have a date to the dance! I'm sooo excited!

This boy in my chemistry class, Jack, asked me about an hour ago. He's pretty popular and he's really cute. Not to mention hot. I still have absolutely no idea why he would ask ME, a girl who has the best grades and is very shy, to go with HIM, a popular, good looking and funny guy, but I'm not complaining.

Just then, the room to my dorm opens, and Thomas walks in with his books.
"Oh, hey Thomas!" I greet.

Did I mention that Thomas is my roommate? Or that he's actually my crush?

"Hi Y/N" He smiles back.
I feel my stomach doing backflips and it feels really funny.
"You look happier than usual, what's up?" He asks while setting his books down on his desk with a thud.
"You'll never believe it, but someone actually asked me to the dance!" I beam.
"Oh... I thought you weren't going?" He frowns a little. (He's still adorable, even when he frowns!)
"Yeah I wasn't going to, but he asked me so I am!"
"Who asked you?"
"Jack, from my chemistry class." I sigh dreamily and shake my head a moment later, realising that my face heated up.

Thomas looks even more... well I can't tell what his expression is, it's a bit like a mixture of disappointment and sadness? I'm not sure. "What's wrong?" I ask, concern lacing my voice.
"Oh- nothing." He fake smiles, but I know he's lying. What's gotten into him?
"Anyways, I'm guessing you're going with Liz?"
"Yeah I am." He replies plainly.

Okay, weird. He should be happy about that.
It's none of your buisness, Y/N.

I nod and get my favourite book, the maze runner, out and start reading it. I've already read it like 3 times but I love it so much, it's amazing!

━━ time skip to the dance ━━

I just finished getting ready for the dance. It's not too fancy, but I look in the mirror and smile.

Who knew I could actually be satisfied with how I look for once?
Or maybe it's just a bit of confidence that I gained by being asked to dance by a popular guy, but either way, it feels great.

I grab my things and head out the door, down the hallway towards the hall where the dance is held.

As I walk inside, I can see a LOT of people. It's quite overwhelming. They are all dancing, drinking, laughing and having a good time. I smile to myself and start to look for Jack. We both agreed to meet in here because our dorms are very far from each other, so it's easier this way.
After a few minutes of pushing past sweaty students, I spot him in a corner, talking to one of his friends. I smile and contain the urge to jump around in excitement. He spots me coming towards him, says something to his friend and meets me half way.

"Hey Jack!" I smile, which is something I can't stop doing.
"Y/N! You look beautiful," He smiles too, making me blush, "Want to dance?"
"Of course" I reply eagerly.

Jack leads me to the dance floor and takes my hand, wrapping the other one around my waist, pulling me closer. I have a hard time containing my excitement, but manage to take a deep breath and calm down.

We start dancing to the slow music, swaying next to the other pairs. We talk about random things, and get to know each other more. Jack is a really intresting person, he has a lot of funny memories and cute stories. I tell him about my family and my life while he listens.

It's been a really great night so far, even better than I imagined. Jack has been really nice to me so far, I think I might be starting to like him. A few times I spotted Thomas with his girlfriend, but I actually didn't feel so bad, because Jack was there for me, allowing me to turn my attention to him instead of Thomas.

I needed to go to the bathroom, and now I'm trying to find my date again in the crowd of students. I have searched by the drinks and the dance floor, but he seems to have disappeared.

Finally, I spot him by the side of the large hall, talking to another girl. She seems to be really upset, and he's trying to comfort her.

Wow, he's so nice to everyone.

I slowly make my way over to them, but I see something that makes me stop dead in my tracks. The girl he is talking to leans in and kisses him, and he kisses back. My eyes go wide and suddenly I feel a wave of anger and sadness wash over me. Jack must've spotted me, because when I turn around to run I hear him call after me.

I try to make my way out of the crowded room, but it's hard when everyone is in your way. He catches up and grabs my wrist, making me turn around.

"Y/N, please let me explain." He says sadly.
I sigh slowly and reply, "Go on. It better be quick."

I want to give him a chance, because I believe he has a good reason. Or I just really want him to have a good reason.

"Y/N, I'm really sorry I did that, but..." He nervously rubs his arm, "The truth is, the girl I was talking to is my crush. I've liked her for a long time and- ... I really wanted to comfort her because her date ditched her. She kissed me."

I don't say anything, I just feel sad all of a sudden.

"I know you like someone else too, you can't deny it."
He is right, I do like someone else, and that's why I'm not angry at him. It's not really his fault.
"You're right, but that was still not a nice thing to do..." I finally answer quietly.
"I know, I'm really sorry. Y/N, you're really funny, kind, cute, beautiful and amazing, but we both like someone else." He looks sincere, guilty and sad at the same time.
"Yeah, you're right, and thank you. I had a really fun time anyways." I smile. I mean every word.
"Thank you so much for understanding. I had a great time too." He smiles at me, causing me to blush a bit.
"Well, I'm tired, I'm going to go back to my dorm. I really wish you luck with the lucky girl."
I did want him to be happy, I think he deserves it, even after what he did to me.
"Okay, have a goodnight Y/N. And thank you so much again, any guy would be lucky to have you."

We both wave and I walk back to my room while he strolls back to the other girl. I don't know how to feel. I think I should be sad, but in reality, I'm not really. Maybe just a little disappointed. My mom always told me to be happy for my friend's achievements, so I am.

Jack really is a good friend, I'm just a bit bummed it didn't work out between us, even though I know he's right. We both like others.

Unfortunately, the one I like- no, love, doesn't love me back.

I quietly open the door and tiptoe inside, careful not to make much noise in case someone is sleeping. Luckily, no one is back yet, so I take a shower and change into comfortable sleeping clothes.

Just as I'm laying in bed reading, the door opens and two people stumble inside. It's Thomas and Liz, their hands all over each other. I raise an eyebrow at Thomas when he spots me, and he smiles apologetically.

"Uhm- we'll just go somewhere else, sorry." He says, holding Liz's hand and pulling her outside the room along with him. The door closes and I try to processes what the shuck just happened.

Compared to the events with Jack, this actually hurt a lot more.
I get lost in my book again in an attempt to forget about Thomas. I manage to read for about another hour, before drifting off into a dreamless sleep.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Don't worry! Part 2 is coming soon ;)
I actually wanted to make Jack a mean popular guy but I got too attached so he isn't rude or mean. I honestly like it better this way, I think it was more wholesome and cute :')
Sooo this is not my best work ever but I think it isn't that bad, I hope you liked it!
