13 Reasons Why Imagines & Preferences

How You First Met

Clay: You were at the Crestmont with some friends and you were short $2 for your ticket so he took $2 from his wallet and paid the rest for you. The next weekend you were back at the theater again and gave him the $2 back, but when he gave you your receipt, he also gave back your $2 and a napkin with his number on it.

Justin: You were walking towards the bleachers at one of his basketball games when someone jumped up and accidentally tripped you. After the game, he made sure to ask if you were okay. You two talked for a while before swapping numbers. You've been friends ever since then.

Alex: One of your friends had dragged you to a school band concert to see her boyfriend. You honestly weren't really feeling it until a boy with platinum blonde hair caught your eye. You had been watching him throughout the whole concert, and when it finally ended, you and your friend went up to the stage to say hi to her boyfriend. The blonde came over and swung his legs over the edge of the stage, sitting directly in front of you. "So do you stare at all guys with weird hair or just me?" he joked. He invited you to hang out with him and a few of the band members backstage, which you had already planned on doing, but you definitely didn't tell him that.

Zach: Unfortunately, you were stood up at Rosie's. You sat in a booth, swirling the straw around your empty milkshake glass as you sighed. Your date was an hour late and you were done waiting. You were waiting for the waiter to come over with your bill before a tall boy with dark hair sat across from you. "This probably sounds creepy, but I've been watching you for the past hour and I was wondering if you were okay?" he said in a questioning tone. You nodded, still swirling the straw around. "I was stood up," you said, shame laced in your voice. "That's crazy!" he said, "Who would stand up someone as beautiful as you?" You laughed in amusement, shaking your head and staring at the empty glass. "Let me get you something to eat," he offered. You politely declined, but he insisted, saying that you sat there for an hour without eating anything. When the waiter came over, he ordered something to eat for the two of you, along with another milkshake. The two of you spent the night talking and laughing as if you'd known each other forever.

Jeff: The two of you met when you were about 6 years old. He had been playing baseball with his dad, and he accidentally hit you in the head with the bat as you walked by. He sat with you for a few hours, holding an ice pack to your head while your parents conversed. You guys became good friends, as did your parents. Ever since then, he's always been like a brother to you.

Tyler: He was sitting on the bleachers above you at one of the basketball games when he accidentally dropped his camera. Thankfully, you caught it just in time. When you handed it back to him you asked what he was taking photos of. He told you it was for the yearbook, and when you told him that you had been interested in joining the yearbook committee, he invited you to sit with him. The two of you forgot about the rest of the game, as you were so immersed in conversation about photography and other hobbies that you had.

Montgomery: One word: Catcalling. You were just walking down the hall towards your locker when you heard a loud whistle. You rolled your eyes and kept on walking, at least until you heard him shout, "There you go, baby. Give us a nice view!" Suddenly enraged, you marched up to him and shoved him into a nearby locker. "Watch it, asshole," you mumbled before making your way towards your locker again. He quickly recovered and began following you down the hall. "Hey, I was just complimenting you," he said. You turned around abruptly, and he almost walked right into you. "I don't want your 'compliments'," you said. "They're... somewhat degrading." His eyes widened and he actually apologized for once before explaining that no one had ever stood up to him before.

Tony: You don't actually remember meeting him. You just know that your parents were close friends, so naturally you two have been friends since you were in diapers.

Ryan: Poetry, obviously. After you presented your poem about 'What Autumn Means to You' in front of your third grade class, he asked if he could sit with you at lunch. He told you how much he admired your writing and he showed you a few of his poems. The two of you bonded over writing.
