a/n: sorry for this but I needed to write a Steve imagine after reading this preference by eggostrangerthings . so credit to them for the idea & for most of the ideas I used in this (I jut combined a bunch of ideas together) & i just love their book!! enjoy!!'

Steve walked bedside you to the library with his jacket covering your arms and coming down to at least past your waist, nearly down your mid thigh. People stared at you and him both as you headed down the hallway.

Everyone knew who you were now, before, only a few people did and those people that did, hated you. However, when Steve Harrington asked you out, everyone began to know your name suddenly. Word traveled fast in that school.

You pushed open the door with your shoulder, Steve walking past you. You let it go, walking towards an empty table and setting down your pile of books to return.

"I'll be right back." You told him as a few girls silently watched you walk away from your boyfriend. You held onto some of the books, Steve's jacket pressed against your body, as you talked to the lady at the desk.

She let you hand in all of the books, not paying a single fine because of how good your grades were. She knew you studied hard, even if you were dating Steve Harrington, who everyone knew wasn't the smartest but you knew he had potential.

"Thanks." You smiled back, turning around to walk back to your boyfriend who was sitting in one of the chairs, spinning a pencil in between his fingers. As you approached him, the groups of girls that were staring at you earlier, suddenly ran over to Steve.

"That's really impressive." One of the girls said, glancing back at you. "Yeah." Another agreed. You stared up at Steve with frustration in your eyes while he pushed past the crowd of girls.

They watched him go back to you, walking with you out of the library. You turned the corner and opened a door to leave the building, grumbling to yourself. You knew girls would throw themselves at Steve ever since you started dating him but those girls had done it multiple times in that same week already.

You were growing frustrated with it, especially since they looked back to see your reaction after what they say to him to see if you get jealous. They always succeeded.

"___." Steve said to you, pulling you over to the side of the building, in between the library and the actual school building where couples came to make out in between classes.

You looked up with frustration in your eyes, making him bluntly aware of the situation that you weren't harnessing well.

"Steve, they're constantly throwing themselves at you!" You exclaimed quite loudly as he put a finger to your lips. "Sh, sh, sh, sh." He said quietly, staring into your eyes.

You closed your mouth, growing angry still with those group of girls. All you wanted was to be the one girl that Steve showed affection towards and not anyone else.

"Steve, do you even see it happening?" You asked, quieter this time as he removed his finger from your lips. Steve didn't answer as soon as you expected but he answered after a pause.

"Yes, I see it happening but-" You stopped him mid sentence, pushing  your lips against his. Your hand was on his chest as you stood up on your tiptoes to reach him fully.

He didn't seem completely taken aback since PDA was something that happened quite often with you both but he didn't expect to be cut off.

Although, he didn't stop you from continuing. You let go, glancing to your side to see one of the few girls who was trying to make you jealous.

You smiled, waving sweetly towards her with your hand still on his chest, still on your tiptoes. She just stormed away from the two of you as a smile tugged on your lips.

"I'm content now." You said, pressing your face against his chest, closing your eyes as he put his arm around you. You breathed in the scent of his cologne, hearing his heartbeat, and just smiling at how you had made the girl jealous now.

The thought of her being jealous of someone that wasn't hers was making you jittery as you stood there in the same position.

"I get so jealous for you, Steve Harrington."
