Chapter Text
Your friends have been quite protective of you since Jotaro moved in to your school in California a few months in already.
He is known to be the delinquent. They think he can easily harm you and may bully you.
Many people wonder why he moved here. Rumors spread that he got expelled perhaps because he murdered a teacher or student and his parents thought to move here to start a new life , since they seem rich they decided to hide the evidence that he did such crime and pay all of what’s needed.
A lot of students seem to think he’s strange and gives scary and intimidating vibes. But most girls don’t care since they think he’s very handsome, he’s definitely the most pleasing to the eye out of all the guys in the school.
You are the very shy one in the group and is a pretty easy target to take advantage of. You’re very quiet but once you are comfortable with someone you can be friendly, upbeat, and silly.
You and your friends seem to be the only ones who doesn’t crush on Jotaro, now don’t get it wrong , your friends do not think he’s ugly at all, they find him very handsome as well, but they’re smart enough to know that liking a guy like him wouldn’t be a good idea.
You are just afraid and intimidated by him that you think he could possibly bully you and take advantage of your kindness as other people usually do.
Your friends are very beautiful and confident, they have had past relationships before and has way more dating experience than you. You are the cute gal in the friend group . the innocent one . Even though you think you are just average looking, one guy has asked you out, but you get so red and nervous about dating that you turned him down super quick, You are scared of relationships which is why you stay single, but you don’t mind being alone.. you hear so much stories from your friends’ past relationships problems, that it made you become afraid of heartbreaks.
Sometimes you wondered while you were spacing out in the middle of the classroom during a lecture, why Jotaro prefers to stay alone, besides the fact that the popular girls follow and annoy him so much, You notice he doesn’t seem to have any guy friends either.
Whenever school was over and you hug your friends goodbye you noticed Jotaro walks straight home alone , not ever telling anyone goodbye.
He always wants to be isolated from everyone . You could kinda relate to that but at some point you would miss talking to another human after a long time of isolation .
One day you went alone to the library, your friends understood you really needed to finish some assignments all in the last minute. They know you get distracted very easily if they were to accompany you so they let you be while they ate lunch.
But in all honesty, you used this excuse just so you could be able to have a break from socializing and you wanted to be in a peaceful quiet place.
Besides, the assignments were pretty easy for you so it’s gonna be a breeze.
When you went inside the library, lots of seats were taken because of finals , you started to feel your enochlophobia kicking in , then you found there was one corner of a table filled with empty seats.. but your relief didn’t last so long until you saw him ..
the reason why no one else was sitting near there was because of Jotaro, reading a book.
Seems like the popular thirsty girls didn’t consider finding him here. You’re very shy to get to the table he’s in but you really need a place to settle in and start on your assignments.
When you sat down a few seats away from him he gave you this annoyed glare, you immediately got uncomfortable and it started to irritate you too. He shouldn’t be acting like he owns these tables you thought.
Your heart started pounding from frustration. You thought to yourself.. be friendly and sweet like Snow White but also be tough like Belle when she calmed down the beast. (You always think about Disney stuff to help calm you down)
Hopefully if you talk some sense to him, he’ll understand.
“Trust me, Im not one of your dumb fan girls. There’s no more seats left and I just need to finish some assignments .. “
When you said that, he did not say a word. He still looked like he didn’t trust you ... you get it though . It’s hard for him to get privacy and how everyone always judge him all the time .
Lots of people started to stare at you two, curious to see what Jotaro would do.
You continued on hoping to convince him while feeling scared for your life and hoping he won’t scream at you in front of everyone.
“I won’t bother ur reading , I’ll be quiet. It’s pointless to argue over this .. believe me I wish this school library were bigger otherwise I wouldn’t be sitting here-“
“𝘛𝘤𝘩 ...just quiet down.” Jotaro replied , “All right you win. Don’t want to waste my time arguing either. “
“thank you” you said quietly
A lot of people still kept staring, you don’t know if they were scared for you or just being nosy of what’s going to happen next. They started to annoy you. You couldn’t concentrate anymore since you can feel their eyes staring at your direction.
It started to annoy Jotaro as well. Few minutes later he got up, took his book and school bag and walked out from the library.
Shit.. now you felt guilty about this. You feel that you interrupted his reading and alone time. Poor him can’t do anything with everyone’s eyes on him. Not only did you feel to blame for interrupting his alone time, you were also in fear that he could hold a grudge to you now.
You deeply hope that you and Jotaro will never cross paths ever again.
_______________________
Few weeks passed by since after what happened at the library with Jotaro, but you completely forgot all about it . Another day in school was over, you packed up quick and went running to the train stop, you usually get picked up by your parents after school but you let them know you had plans.
Your friend Gina was absent today and texted you to come over to hang out at the park near where she lives . You waited at the train station for the metro.
Then ... your heart dropped.. you notice the tall familiar figure .. oh no.. t’s him.. Jotaro.
You guess he takes this route to go home. When he caught a glimpse of you he did a double take and noticed you were the same girl he met at the library.
You felt he looked annoyed by you. He kinda frowned more which scared you. You’re a soft sensitive person and you feel guilt so easily and sad when you feel like someone is mad at you . In fact you felted so scared that you lost grip of your sketchbook you were holding on to and all your loose papers flew out with the wind .
How embarrassing you thought . Not only does he think you’re annoying, now he probably thinks you’re clumsy as well.
There was no other person around. You were the only one picking them up yourself.. until , you noticed Jotaro walking around picking up the papers and then walked towards you. He was giving the papers back to you .. oh ..
“Thank you.. you didn’t have to... especially after I interrupted your reading at the library .. sorry about that.“
You quickly said.
Jotaro gave you a look as if you said something foolish. he was quiet and didn’t knew what else to say to that apology.
You broke the silence .
“Anyways...I hope you’ll find a new private place, honestly the library is never deserted, it’s usually crowded-“
“It wasn’t your fault so don’t apologize...” Jotaro unexpectedly replied. “People have been staring way before you came in, I just got sick of it and left.”
“Oh, I see” you said.
You sat down on the bench and started organizing your papers in your sketchbooks while he was litting up a cigarette and started smoking. You then looked up at him and decided since he’s new to the school you should give him a tip on what places where he can hide. “You should try the rooftop of this one math school building ...” Jotaro rose an eyebrow and looked at you surprised when you started mentioning him some location.
“....there’s a hidden door near the stairs in that building. It looks like a door to a classroom but it’s actually a doorway to the roof, it’s a perfect hideout... or you can just try another location which is behind the bleachers.” You laughed softly, “I’m an introvert so just want to help out another who also loves their privacy. “
Jotaro’s intimidating look stared down at you making you feel smaller than you already are as he let out a puff of smoke to the air. “Already tried behind the bleachers, those annoying bitches keep finding me everywhere. But I’ll take that rooftop for consideration.. thanks”
“No problemo” you happily said. Relieved that both of you are in good terms now.
Then you two were back in silence again. But this time the vibes didn’t felt as heavy as when you first met. You were concentrating on sketching while he was sitting on the other end of the same bench as he smoked. The subway finally came, you stepped in and noticed Jotaro wasn’t coming inside. Perhaps his subway is on the opposite direction?
“Bye bye” you waved to him.
Jotaro stared and nodded his head as a goodbye gesture.
As soon as the doors shut and the subway was moving, Jotaro then found another drawing of yours on the ground that you missed, he picked it up, it was a watercolor painting of a pond filled with koi fishes.
