You are the schools quiet girl. You're not exactly bullied and people know you, but no one purposely hangs out with you to be friends and no one really talks about you, partly because they don't know you well enough and also because you don't like being around people. You choose to be alone. However, one random day at school the school's hot bad boy Knox Meadows started talking to you. You of course found this odd and asked him why and he pulled you into a private room to explain. "I need a girlfriend." Is how he started the conversation. Very blunt. Very Knox. "I don't have one" no shit, Knox. At least that's what you wanted to say. Instead you just stared at him judgmentally. He sighed in frustration as if it were your fault. "My reputation. My friend group has been slaughtering me over not having a girlfriend yet. So I need one." At this point you wanted to slap him hard enough to knock some sense into him. Almost every girl here considered him the hottest guy in school and he was here bothering YOU over this? You sighed, desperately wanting to go back to read your book/manga/manhwa alone. But it seemed like this guy already made other plans for you. This time you responded. "Jessica, Maire, Maya, Marian, Lucy, Bret, Rika-" then he rudely cut you off "The hell are you naming people for" you sighed as if you were talking to a toddler "I'm naming girls. All who are actually interested in you. Girls who you can bother that aren't me" "Too needy" he cut in "those girls won't be able to handle me once they actually start talking with me. I'm mean, I'm ruthless, I'm an asshole and I don't care. None of those girls will last two days. I need someone sturdy. You're sturdy. You're tough. Be my girlfriend." You scoffed "no, absolutely not. It doesn't matter what you offer. I'm never doing this. Go away." You turned to leave but he spoke a words that stopped you right in your place. "You like anime right? I always see you reading those weird book things. I'll buy you any anime figures or any book things you want throughout our whole relationship." And from that day on you were Knox Meadows girlfriend. People found it weird at first but surprisingly you and Knox made a good couple. He may not be right on any of his tests but he sure was right when he said youd be a better match for him than the other girls. He'd always be rude to you and others but you controlled it well by being indifferent about the whole thing. You didn't ever get jealous like the other girls would've and you even tease him back sometimes when he's being mean. Your relationship wasn't built on feelings of love and affection but it was still quite healthy. So you two stayed with it even up to this day. It's been two years now. No necessary feelings of love, but you are his girlfriend and honestly, now that you've gotten to know him, you wouldn't change it even if you could. And neither would he. After all no one else can handle him. you two hug and kiss and do whatever couples do because why not? it's just natural. no butterfly's in your stomach, just normal
