JJ Maybank imagines

staring

Didn't know what to call this. Sometimes I just start writing and have a hard time stopping so enjoy whatever this is.

I sat in history class, all of the pogues sitting near one another, trying my best to focus on the board. I couldn't shake the feeling of someone staring at me so I began scanning the room, looking for the perpetrator.

My eyes locked onto a gorgeous pair of blue ones, the glare from the sun making his almost sparkle, which caused my cheeks to start blushing.

"Look at the board." I whispered to JJ. As if he was coming out of some sort of trance he twitched before listening to my directions. I felt a tap on my shoulder and soon enough Kiaras voice whispering in my ear.

"I think someone's got a crush on you." I scoffed quietly at her remark before turning my head and whispering back.

"It's JJ, he doesn't do 'crushes', he does hook-ups. Not my style." Although I have always had certain feelings for the blonde pogue I knew it wouldn't work, we wanted different things. I looked over and saw JJ looking down at his desk, a hurt expression on his face. Did he hear what I said? Even if he did, why would my remark hurt his feelings? It was true.

The day went my slow but eventually ended, the five of us catching up in the parking lot heading towards the Twinkie.

"Boat day?" John B suggested.

I shrugged, "Sure, I think I have a swim suit at the chateau still."

"I always have one in my bag." Kiara added, slinging her arm around my shoulder as we began to skin to the van.

"Pope?" John B asked.

"Yeah, sounds good, I don't have anything to do today." The boy responded.

"JJ?" He continued. JJ stared ahead as we walked, as if he didn't even hear him, "JJ? Hellooo." John B sang, waving his hand in the blondes face, making him swat it away, "Boat day?"

"Nah, man, I'm good," JJ denied, which took us all by surprise, "Kenzies coming over."

"Kenzie?" I scoffed, quickly realizing my tone and shrugging it off. Why did that bother me?

"Yeah, I'm a hook-up typa guy, right?" JJ asked, his voice was cold, harsh. I didn't like it one bit.

"Whatever, have fun." I spat back, ignoring the guys and walked to the van with Kie still on my side.

John B and Pope were untying the boat while Kiara and I filled the cooler with beer and snacks in case we got hungry. After making sure we had towels I handed the cooler into the boat and got in.

"Guys, wait up!" A familiar voice yelled. We all looked towards the chateau to see JJ running towards us in swim trunks, a towel draped around his shoulders.

"Your whore leave early?" Kiara spat, sending me a smirk. I smiled back but quickly looked away when JJ looked over to me.

"I told her to leave." JJ replied, jumping on the boat with the rest of us. Good.

"Wow, JJ denies a hook-up? Has hell frozen over?" Pope joked which made us all laugh. John B began driving the boat through the marsh, going somewhere in open water.

"I don't know, man, just didn't feel right," The blonde began to explain. I kept my eyes on the horizon but my ears on their words, "Might be time to get serious, settle down, y'know?"

I straightened my legs and laid flat, letting the sun hit my skin so I'd hopefully get a nice tan, "Who woulda thought." I scoffed quietly. Kiara must've been the only one to hear me because I felt a tap on my shoulder, she then wiggled her eyebrows and gestured to JJ, then me.
