Dork
Reader POV
You sat in class, finishing writing the project that you will have to do with your partner, whoever the hell that was. You assignment went as followed,
“Write a 2000 word essay on conflict, division, deprivation and Transformation in the city of Derry/Londonderry and create and present a 20 slide Power Point on the same topic.” Easy, as long as you avoided your crush and got someone who had a slight idea of what they were doing. You teacher was rambling off a list of pairs, you zoned back in when you heard you name.
“(Y/n) (y/l/n) and Natasha Romanoff”. You groaned internally, of course you were paired with Natasha Romanoff, the schools most popular girl and your crush. Well that went without saying, practically everyone in the school had some sort of crush on Natasha. She turned around and smiled at you and nodded. All you could do was nod and smile back at her. Oh god how were you going to get through this.
Natasha POV
Natasha couldn’t have been happier when yours and her names were called out, for 2 reasons. One, you were the smartest kid in the school. Two, she liked you. A lot. You were super dorky and you wore it with confidence, a confidence that she envied. You were dorky, cute and smart and out of everyone in the school, you were the one who didn’t like her in the same way.
Natasha turned to you and smiled, she felt her insides tightened as you nodded and smiled back. Natasha couldn’t help but think about how cute your smile was. She bit her lower lip slightly and blushed after she turned around, her red hair falling over face as she looked down trying to cover up her excited expression.
Reader POV
You just finished a gruelling double training session with the swim team. You went for a run, followed by laps of the pool followed by weights followed by more laps. You had just showered and got changed when you left the changing rooms, only to see Natasha reading a book on the bench opposite. You couldn’t help but notice what book it was, “I didn’t realise you read the Bone Season too” you said smiling slightly.
You were glad that someone else could appreciate the series as well. Natasha looked up at you with her beautiful green eyes, she got up as she closed the book, pulling her athletics team jacket around her. You could have sworn she had a slight blush on her face.
“Yeah I’m re-reading the others before the third one comes out” she said. Oh god how were you going to get through this, she likes to read the same kind of books as you.
The two of you walked home laughing and joking about fan theories you read on tumblr. Her laugh was amazing, you just couldn’t think of a better way to describe it. You were talking about some fan fiction when you reached your house.
“So this is me” you said as you looked at your house.
Natasha nodded and said “So when do you want to meet up to do the project?” She asked. “I’m free whenever after school” you said as you looked at her. Her red hair was tied up which she only did during or after training.
“Would it be okay if I swing by later and we can get it started”, Natasha said quickly.
“Yeah sure, we could order pizza or something” you shrugged. Natasha smiled again before giving you a quick hug goodbye.
Once she was gone you ran up to your room ignoring your aching muscles. You quickly opened your wardrobe, Natasha was coming around. You had to look good, but casual as well, you pulled out a Hogwarts t-shirt a cardigan and a pair of skinny jeans. After that you tackled your room, making sure it was reasonably tidy.
Natasha POV
Natasha closed the door on her bedroom door. Oh god, she was going to your house, you read the bone season too. Natasha opened her wardrobe. She looked at her generic cool bad girl popular look or she could wear her normal clothes. She picked up her oversized Hogwarts jumper, and pulled on a pair of black skinny jeans.
She was nervous, no one at school had ever seen her dorky side. She walked to your house, and knocked the door. She was surprised when you opened the door so quickly. You both laughed because you were both wearing Hogwarts stuff.
You laughed and talked as you worked. Natasha smiled to herself as she sat down on your bed with you. She felt herself relax and act more like herself and less like the personality she created for school. She saw the way you looked at her, it was different than usual. She knew then from your body language that you liked her. Thank god she took that phycology class.
Reader POV
This continued for a couple of weeks, the two of you hung out together at school and at each other’s houses. It continued even after you finished your project. It was leading up to prom. Both you and Nat had made alternative plans, of course you did, it was on the same night as Mockingjay part 2 was being released. By that time you had gotten your licence and could drive the two of you around. So you picked Natasha up on the night of your prom. You were wearing a black just-above-knee length dress with a jumper on top, tights and boots.
As you pulled up Natasha walked out of the door, wearing a Peter Pan collar shirt, a cardigan, a black skirt, tights and boots as well.
The two of you laughed and chatted as you drove. You talked a lot about Jennifer Lawrence.
“God she is so fucking pretty” Natasha said as she leaned back in her seat.
“Yeah but she’s not as beautiful as you” you said without realising. You kept looking forward once you realised what you said, you turned into the car park and parked the car. You went to get out when Natasha grabbed your hand.
“Wait” she said, as she pulled you closer towards her. You looked at her, only to find her lips being pressed against yours. You moved your lips against hers as you gently placed your hand on her cheek. Natasha’s hand moved to gently hold the back of your neck. The kiss itself was amazing, it was full of meaning and care, her lips were soft and gentle against yours.
