focused on you - jake sim ˚✧ 0.8k
you never had any plans to get caught up in school romance and definitely steered clear of any boys who seemed like trouble. until, you met the sweetest boy in a chemistry lab. he had you fooled he was in your class until the teacher came over and broke up the conversation you and him were having and kindly asked him to get back to where he was supposed to be.
“you sure because..” he tried to laugh it off but the glare that the teacher was giving him made it clear he wasn’t amusing anyone - except you when he turned to look at you and you were holding back from laughing.
he knew you were a keeper.
he promised to see you around school before he left the class for good and that’s when you learned how popular he was. catching him in the hall was difficult at first because you weren’t sure he’d remember you or want to talk to you outside of class, but he wanted more than anything to talk to you.
you were blinded and he was too, it was so easy to talk to him and smile along with him. even though you were kinda of an outcast, he never treated you differently.
the moment you knew you wanted to date him was when you made your way into the cafeteria, trying to locate a friend of yours to eat with.
the lunchroom was pretty crowded, so it’s hard to pin point a single person in the chaos but you feel across brown puppy dog eyes that were looking straight at you. they, of course, belong to jake and he smiled at you. a wide smile complimented his shinning eyes.
still from that far, it sent butterflies down your spine. he had a couple friends with him who were actively trying to talk to him but it seemed you were his main focus. you tried to read his lips as he smiled and excused himself from his team.
jake, the captain of the basketball team, was coming your way and you couldn’t help but feel your cheeks burn.
you were supposed to eat lunch with a friend but why couldn’t you get your mind and focus of him. as he got closer, your heart beat grew louder.
jake looked proud to stand before you. beaming as he looked down at you. your cheeks were rosy pink and you hoped he didn’t notice that or the pounding of your heart.
you were in awe for a moment.
his laugh takes you out of the trance.
“do i usually make you this flustered?” his smile was pure enjoyment, he found it cute that you seemed shy.
you defend yourself but it comes off as if your offended.
“i am not flustered.”
“oh yeah?” he said as he got closer to you. he was dangerously close.
“then why are these cheeks of yours bright pink.” he moves his hand to try and pinch your cheeks but you slap his hand back.
“can i ask you a question?” you try to change the subject.
he hums, anticipating what you’ll ask.
you take a deep breath, still a little anxious about you and him talking this publicly.
“why did you come over to me?”
the question wasn’t in anyway funny but jake broke out into a chuckle, his cheeks looked like they hurt. you furrowed your eyebrows, demanding him to take this seriously.
you waited patiently as he calmed himself.
this is when you knew you clearly had him around your fingers.
“you underestimate the power you have over me.”
you looked at him and he met your curious eyes. he explained a bit further, slowly taking your hands from your side and holding them in his hands.
“i want to be with you.” “during lunch and if you’re up to it-“ before he could continue what he was going to propose, you gave him a kiss of the cheek (maybe having to tip toe to do it).
jake looked breathless, looking at you like a deer in head lights.
“yes.” you simply stated. “i would love to be your girlfriend.”
jake took your waist from pure excitement but made sure it was okay to do so.
“is this alright?”
“are you my boyfriend?”
“am i?” he’s really like a dog, so pure.
you giggle, nodding your head at this adorable boy.
“i sure hope so if you’re holding my waist.” this boost of confidence rushed over you when it registered in your brain you were dating the basketball boy jake.
“then i am.” he took you into a hug and muffled again “i am” into your shoulder. it didn’t matter who could be witnessing, all that matters is that you could hug him as much as you want to now and get to call him your boyfriend.
