Christmas Bet

Chapter 1

"Christ, faster you're already late, Thomas is already here. Don't make him wait" my mom shouted. I just rolled my eyes and replied "I'm still not done mom." An hour has already passed, yet I'm still here in my room making some excuses. It's my intention to piss off Thomas because I know he won't leave until we leave the house together because it's probably his mother's order and, basically, we're already late for our first class.

I heard a knock from the door, but I just ignored it because I knew it was Thomas. He didn't stop knocking, so I angrily went and opened the door.

"What?" I asked him with my b*tchy attitude. He looked at me with his pissed face. "Stop acting like a child, Christy Zafyego Williams" he said. I just shrugged my shoulders and rolled my eyes at him, but he suddenly lifted me up like a sack of rice. "Hey! MangTomas, put me down right now, or I'm going to kick your balls," I warned him, but he just laughed and spanked my butt. My mouth dropped, and I tried to resist, but he was strong, "Stop moving, or else I'm going to spank you again." My face went red, and I just stopped moving, afraid that he might do the same thing again. "Jerk" I said but he just laughed "Good Girl" He said with amusement on his face.

I am too ashamed to look at my mother who's smiling right now, and I just buried my face on Thomas' shoulder and let him carry me.

"Bye Tita, thanks for this," Thomas said and showed the 2 lunch boxes in his hand.

"Make sure you're going to eat all of that. Study hard and take good care of my daughter"

"I will, Tita" Thomas replied.

-------------------

"Why don't you bring your car instead of this motorcycle?" I curiously asked. He looked at me. "I am not allowed to use this?" he said with a smirk because he knew that I would be pissed off at his reply.

"I swear you're a jerk" he just laughed at what I said. Thomas sat on my back, making it look like he was hugging me. "Hey! Why won't you sit in front?" I asked uncomfortably. He came closer and whispered to my ears, which gave me chills. "Why? Are you that affected by my presence? He asked, teasing me, "As if, Do what you want I don't care" I said and just ignored him.

We are on our way to school, but I'm still not comfortable with Thomas. I can feel his broad chest on my back and I bet he has a body that every girl dreams of but not me. He's literally not my type. My type of man is studious, shy, kind, and good at singing, but Thomas is literally the opposite. Thomas is not kind. Rather, he's a bad boy type. I don't know if he's good at singing, because I didn't hear him sing even once. He smoked and that was the biggest turn off for me. Yet, Thomas is very famous in our school. Every girl on our campus has a crush on him and boys are always envious of him.

-------------------

When we arrived at school, there were not many students around. Probably because class is already starting.

"Don't follow me, and pretend that you don't know me" I said, and seriously looked at him. Thomas put both his hands in his pockets and looked at me. "And if I don't?"

"I will ignore you forever" I said and noticed his silence. "Okay" that was the last reply he said before he turned his back and walked away.

Thomas and I are always been classmates since elementary, and I didn't even know how it happened. Even now that we're in college, we also take the same course.

I checked myself first to see if I was presentable enough before opening the door. After deciding that I was fully prepaired, I opened the door. The class was silent and the professor in front looks scary and there was an i***t standing beside him with his hand in his pocket. He looks cool and doesn't mind his surroundings. He smiled after looking at me. "Hi! Christ" He smiled and waved his hand to me. "This i***t". The professor looked at him and at me. "You! Come here" he shouted. I hurriedly went in front and now Thomas and I were both standing in front of the class. Most of the girls are glaring at me, probably because they have a crush on Thomas, while here I am a nobody and not a special and pretty girl.

"Now, both this young woman and man will be banned from my class in 3 days. This is to teach all of you, not just them. My god! You're already in college and you're behaving like this" The professor massage his head out of frustration. "Both of you will clean the storage room after all of your classes end. Now get out of here. The professor shouted.

Both Thomas and I leave the room as per the professor's order. Thomas walked beside me trying to catch my steps, but I ignored him and continued walking. I went to the cafeteria and completely ignored Thomas like an invisible person. I sat in one of the empty chairs but Thomas still followed me. He sat in front of me and put his elbow on the table while both of his hands were on his chin. He poked my cheek, but I pretended not to notice him. I really hate him. Why won't he just mind his own life? Why is he always involving me? Does he really want me to suffer? Thomas still continued to persist me.

I saw him walking towards me with a food tray in his hands, but suddenly someone accidentally bumped him, causing him to throw the food off guard. The food came in my way, making me look pathetic. Everyone in the cafeteria laughed at me. I felt so ashamed and anger took over me.

"Chirst I didn't mean to----- I cut Thomas to what he was going to say. "Shut up, can you please stop bothering me. You're always making me feel sick of your mere existence. You are always making me feel miserable. Please, Mas, don't bother me again. I beg you". I didn't notice the tears in my eyes and just wiped them using my hand. I turned my back and walked away feeling pathetic, but I noticed the hurt expression in Thomas' eyes. Why would I care? In the first place, he is the reason why our relationship is like this.
