Pairing: Montgomery x Reader19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lGqLvLB43
“You know your obsession for her is concerning?” It wasn’t a question. It was a statement. Something Montgomery had been hearing a lot lately. This time it was Zach who spoke, tired of seeing him replaying your Instastory over and over again during lunch break. “Why don’t you just ask her out, dude?” He added.
Groaning, Montgomery simply shoved his phone in his jeans pocket and glared at his friend. “Shut up, Dempsey.” When he would start an argument on a good day, a fight on a normal day, this time he didn’t say much because he knew Zach was right. Everybody was right. He was slowly turning into a stalker, just like Joe Goldberg from YOU - Scott’s comparison, not his - and it was beyond concerning. But he couldn’t help it and it terrified him. Hell, he didn’t even know when this whole obsession thing started.
Maybe it was the day you accidentally bumped into him while headed to your locker, excusing yourself more than once as he helped you gather the books you dropped. “I was so into my book that I didn’t see you. I am sorry.” You said one last time before giving him a small smile and leaving. He remained silent the whole time, not able to say a word or remove his eyes from you. How come he never paid attention to you before?
Or maybe it was the day he gave you a ride home when you got caught under the heavy rain after school a few weeks back. That day, you talked for the first time. An unexpectedly smooth conversation with a joke here and there that made you laugh. Yeah, your laugh was probably the beginning of all of this. Day after day, he found himself thinking of you more than he should, seeking to at least see you from afar, taking any opportunity that came his way to talk to you even for a second.
“What’s holding you from asking her out, Monty?” Scott asked, pulling the jock out of his thoughts.
“Ask who out?” Montgomery’s head snapped up to meet your smiling figure standing by their table. It was enough to make his heart beat faster, he was certain that if you got any closer to him, it was either going to stop beating at all or you could hear it. He tried to speak but no sound came out of his mouth. “None of my business, sorry.”
“Monty has this huge crush on this amazing girl, but he doesn’t know how to tell her.” Jeff grinned, eyes darting between you and Montgomery who was getting more and more embarrassed as Jeff spoke. “Could you maybe help him out with this? Ya know since you’re a girl and stuff…”
“Thanks for noticing I am a girl, Atkins.”
“You’re very welcome, (Y/L/N).”
The first bell rang making all the boys, minus Montgomery, jump from their seats and head to their afternoon classes. “Are you okay?” You asked sitting next to him. The simple feeling of you being so close to him made him weak in the knees. Jesus, what was going on with him? Not a time in his whole entire existence a girl made him feel that way.
Sighing, he didn’t dare to look at you. “I don’t know…”
“Is it about the girl Jeff mentioned?”
“Yeah…” Wait did he just confirm the fact that he had a gigantic crush on you? Technically you didn’t know it was you Jeff was talking about. “Don’t you have class now?”
Smiling, you tilted your head to the side. “Are you trying to avoid this conversation, Mont?” This right there. ‘Mont’ nobody else called him that way but you and it made him smile whenever you did.
“Maybe…”
“I think you should tell her.”
“It’s not that easy.”
“Why so?”
“(Y/N) you know why.” He said still not looking at you, a bit of a shame coating his tone.
“I don’t know, enlighten me, please.” Maybe Montgomery didn’t have the best reputation. He was a hothead who got into more fights than all the boys around Evergreen ever did, and he certainly got into fights with all the boys from Evergreen. He didn’t do relationships, he was the one-night-stand kind of guy who flirted with all the girls in Liberty, probably slept with more than half of them. “Let me tell you what I know.” You started listing everything good you noticed about him, from his loyalty to his friends to his dedication to baseball and football, how hard he worked to become captain of the team instead of Bryce. Speaking of the devil, you didn’t forget to mention that you saw him stand for many girls his former friend harassed whether it was at school or outside school. “That’s the Montgomery I got to know for the past… what? Two months.”
“And a half.” He added with a smile.
“Right, two months and a half.” You smiled before quickly kissing his cheek and adding. “Take your chances, stop hesitating.” Before he could react, you were out of his sight, sprinting towards your literature class. His fingers went to touch where your lips were seconds ago, still not sure if he was dreaming or not. Maybe he should take his chances with you, after all, you saw what nobody else did. As he walked out of the cafeteria, he quickly typed a text message and hit send before shoving his phone back into his pocket. Seconds later, yours buzzed under the table while Mrs. Green was speaking about post-war literature to which you didn’t pay much attention.
