Seventeen imagines

Cigarettes Vernon

"Y/N and Vernon, you're paired together for this project." Our professor says

"You can make your move then!!." My best friend Ari says while shoving my side

I joke "watch me become Mrs.Chwe."

But I quickly take it back because even as a joke it sounds cringey.

"Ew, I take that back." I laugh

The teacher continued speaking until the end of class.

"Ok class is now dismissed." The professor announces which cause all of us students to get up.

Me and Ari are making our way to the door when I hear a group of girls talking.

"Why did the professor pair the two smartest ones in the class together?" One girls asks

"So the not so smarts don't take advantage of them."

Me and Ari continue walking and go outside.
We take a seat at a table and talk until my phone buzzes.

I take out my phone from my pocket and look at the screen.

"Is it Vernon?" Ari says while wiggling her eyebrows

"Yeah" I say while putting my phone down on the table

"Aren't you going to text him back?" Ari questions

"Not yet."

"Why not?"

"I don't want to seem like I've been waiting for him to text me."

As soon as I finish talking I see a familiar figure come over to our table.

Me and Ari look up at the figure and see Vernon.

"Hey Y/N and Ari, sorry to interrupt but I just wanted to know if you y/n want to start our project today." Vernon says

"Oh um yeah sure." I smile

"Great, then y'all can get started now." Ari says while getting up

I open my mouth to stop Ari from leaving but nothing came out.

"Bye Ari" Vernon smiles brightly to Ari

"Bye Vernon, bye Y/n" Ari smiles back then walks away

Vernon sits in the seat that Ari just got up from.

We quickly get to work once he sits down.
There's times where it's silent but we don't mind it.

-A few weeks later-
Me and Vernon had gotten close over these last few weeks.

I got comfortable with him and he did the same with me.
But once he got comfortable he changed.

He was so quiet but now he's the opposite from that.

He's loud.
He makes jokes that I never thought I would hear from him.
And he says whatever he thinks.

-Present-

We're currently sitting in his backyard, late at night.

We were talking and all of a sudden I see Vernon pull something of out his pocket. I don't pay much attention to it and continue listening to him speak.

He opens a small box and takes something out.
I however don't mind it at all.

He then brings his hand to lips.
He puts something in his mouth and drops his hand back down.

That's when I realized that it was a cigarette in between his lips.
That shocked me because he never seemed like the type to smoke.

He's the shy and quiet type.
A laugh escapes Vernon lips.
