Fragile: Must Handle With Care

Chapter 10: The Deal Is On!

I immediately run out of the class and I sit on the bench outside the building.

I have a moment or two to myself before Satan comes and sits with me.

"I hate it when you go somewhere else to get rid of someone and the same someone follows you, I hate stalkers" I say implying Alex.

"That someone is here Sophia" He chuckles, I try not to look at him because I know if I look at him laughing, I will start to smile.

"Can you just go away?" I hiss.

"Why are you so angry with me Soph?" He asks.

"Don't call me that" I throw him a dirty look.

"Fine Sophia, now tell me what I did so I can resolve this?".

"What can you resolve Alex, the damage is already done?" I feel a tear stream down my cheek.

"What damage Sophia dammit just tell me" He commands.

"You have NO IDEA what a person is going through. Have you ever realised how your so called 'jokes' could affect someone? No because all you care is about yourself and your sexual desires" My tears do not stop falling. I get up from the bench and walk away from Alex.

I begin to run but catches up by just walking, I should really go to the gym sometime soon.

"Sophia. I don't know how to explain this, but I truly am sorry. If I knew how much that was going to affect you, I never would've said it. Believe it or not, even I have feelings, a heart. I know you hate me so much right now, fuck that, you've hated me from the moment we bumped into each other and trust me the feeling is mutual but even though I don't like you, I still care about you. I'm being nice to you on someone's behest but trust me all these words that just came out of my mouth, were honest, I haven't lied. So please forgive me" He says to me.

I'm not sure whether to believe him or not. I was looking into his eyes the entire time and for the first time, I feel like I saw honesty inside those warm chocolate brown eyes, I saw emotions.

"A-Alex... I don't know what to say. I- I don't think I believe you" I say cold heartedly.

"I knew it. What can I do to make you believe me?".

"Well I do have this one thing in mind, if you can do it, I'll forgive you and I might just believe you".

"Okay. Go on".

"You are not allowed to sleep with any old Tom, Dick and Harry. You cannot play girls anymore. If you actually want a girl, you have to be in a serious relationship. You have to do this for one month" I say firmly.

"Are you being fucking serious" Alex says with his mouth wide open.

"What do you think?" I smirk.

"N-n-n-no I'm not doing that".

"Fine have fun with a moody Economics partner" I turn around and start walking. I feel Alex's hand hold mine and bring me closer, close enough so I could hear him. I got a little bit scared when he held my hand, not going to lie.

"I'll do it" He says.

"You liar" I pull my hand away. He brings my hand back to meet his hand.

"I'm not lying. I promise you".

"And if you break the promise...," I pause and ponder, "You have to buy a bra and walk around campus with it on".

"Harsh but okay and if I win..." He does the 'I've got a crazy idea smirk'.
