He's not that bad - Rodrick x Reader

Chapter 19

Y/N's point of view

Y/N was sitting at the dinner table with Rodrick's family. Greg was currently talking about school and how some weird kid wouldn't stop bothering him. Rodrick was shoving food down his throat clearly not paying attention to anything his brother was saying. The conversation then turned to Rodrick with his mom asking how school was going. Rodrick rolled his eyes and swallowed the food in his mouth.

"Why does it even matter? It's not like I need it anyway."

"Rodrick! School is important, you need to start taking it more seriously! You're never gonna graduate if you keep acting the way you do."

"Whatever..."

There was akward silence that took over the room for a concerning amount of time before Greg spoke up and started saying something about a piece of cheese or something at school. Meanwhile Rodrick and I decided to talk about music.

After dinner I went home and headed to bed.
--------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up to knocking on my bedroom door.
"Hey Nerd, you weren't waiting by the van. You still in there?"

"Shit!!!" I yell loudly jumping up from my bed. I had slept through my alarm.

There is laughing coming from the otherside of the door.

I ran to throw on some clothes and grab my stuff before opening the door. Leaning against the door frame still trying to calm his laughing was Rodrick.
"Sleeping beauty decided to get some extra beauty sleep huh?"

"Shut up asshole" I said playfully punching his arm.

He followed me down the stairs. "Honestly what would you do without me?" he laughed "Probably would have missed the whole day"

"Aww yes, my knight in shining converse."I rolled my eyes "I would just die without you, It's a miracle I was able to survive before I met you!"

After a quick drive and a bit of Rodrick's suggestions of skipping, we were at school. We had missed half of first period. The office lady that handed us our late passes wrote mine first before pulling out a pre-written one for Rodrick out of a drawer.
--------------------------------------------------------------

The rest of the school day went pretty normally. At lunch I sat with Rodrick, CC was nowhere to be found.

"So what we doing tomorrow?" I asked

His face flushed pink and he swallowed the food he had in his mouth "Well... Um... I figured it would be a surprise"

"Oh, okay! Can't wait! BUT, please try not to get detention."

"Im not going to get detention, and even if I did, I would skip it for our... our date" his face got more red when he said that word, it was adorable and caused me to blush aswell. "I-I mean what are they going to do give me it on a different day?" He ended the sentence with an anxious laugh.

"Just don't do anything too stupid okay?"

He looked directly into my eyes "I promise" Immediatly a swarm of butterflies flew loops in my stomach. Fucking hell why does he have to be so cute! My brain buffered for a bit before being able to speak.

"Well..." I could feel heat rising in my face "should I wear something fancy or...?"

"No, don't worry about it. Your normal clothes are perfect. It's just going to be you and me nothing fancy. That shit's expensive"

"Darn, I was really hoping for a 5 course dining experience." I fake pouted

"After I become famous then we'll eat out wherever you want."

"I hope you know Im going to hold you to that."
--------------------------------------------------------------

Soon school was done so I headed to Rodrick's van and to my surprise he was standing by the door waiting for me.

"Hey nerd!"

"Wow no detention today? That's Amazing!"

"I wanted to have some time to hang with you before finishing out the planning for tomorrow." He had that big goofy smile of his face.

"That much to plan?" I questioned stepping closer to him, now being directly infront of him. I wished his arms were around me rightnow.

He tilted his head further downwards to look at me better before pushing his forehead against mine. Both of our faces were shades of red now. "It has to be perfect for the perfect person."

I had to close my eyes a take a deep breath. His face is so close to mine. I needed to calm down, we haven't even been on a single date yet.

A few guys walked past and shouted "Get a room!" which snapped me out of my own head and caused Rodrick to suggest that we head home.
---------------------------------------------------------------

We hung out in the practice area for Loded Diper and he played some music in between us talking. Eventually I decided to head home for dinner and then headed to bed making sure to set multiple alarms at a higher volume than before.
