My Cute Neighbor

Chapter 11

Thomas served the shuttlecock, it went over the net, coming on my right side. I move there and did a forehand pass, which is successful of course. Thomas did a backhand to that, and I moved to the direction the shuttlecock is heading and did a drop shot, which Thomas didn't hit, because it's too fast, so I earned a point.

Some cheered for me for that. I smiled. Then I served the shuttlecock and Thomas hitted with a forehand, which I came back with a backhand, and he with a backhand also, which I didn't hit so he earns a point, and so on.

After a couple of minutes and two sets and currently playing the third set, he's a point ahead of me. The score was 18-19 and the winning score is 20. After changing courts we're also on a tie on the two sets, with a score of 2-2. I have to win this set to be the winner.

So Thomas served and I did a drop shot, but he came back with a dig, then I did a smash, but he hitted it, then I hitted with a forehand, which he came back with a backhand, but I came back doing a forehand, and he did a drop shot but I hitted it with a dig, then he did a forehand and I did a smash again, but he didn't hit it.

Now it's a tie. Someone should break the tie.

After a few forehands and backhands, smashes, drop shots and digs, there's already a winner who broke the tie.

I wiped the sweat off my face and sighed. Of course it's tiring with all the moving and hitting. I stretched my arms then bended them.

After the next pairs who played were finished, Mr. Kennedy announced the winners.

Then I heard the name I was expecting, my name of course. I smiled and muttered a 'yes' happily.

"Bella,", I heard someone say behind me. I turned around and saw that it was Thomas. My heartbeat became faster but I'm not that nervous.

"Congratulations. You did well out there.", he said and smiled.

I bowed my head a little to hide my blushing face. "Uhhh....Thanks.....y-you did great.....t-too.", I said, stuttering a little and pressed my lips together.

"You know,", he said and I looked at him. "That was a good game.", he said and held out his hand.

I looked at his hand then at him quickly. Then I held his hand and we both shaked it. Then we let go gently.

"Well, see you around.", he said and we smiled at each other.

He walked towards his friends while I walked towards the door. I looked back at him and smiled even though he's not looking. "Yeah. See you around.", I muttered and went outside the gym. I saw Holly in the gym before I went outside. Nah. Talk to her later.

I changed my clothes and went to my next class, English. Good thing Ana is here so I won't be alone. Thomas is also here so I'm more happy. Wait. I think I saw Holly enter the room. Yeah she's here!

I went to her chair and said, "Hey, Holly..Still remember me?", I said shyly.

"Oh Bella! You also study here? That's why you look a bit familiar when I saw you at the mall!", she said.

"Yeah...", I said. "So, I gotta go sit in my chair.", I added and sat on my chair.

"Who is that Holly?", Ana asked curiously. "I mean, how did you know each other?"

I told her about how we met at the mall. "You bought dresses? How do they look like? When will you wear them?", she asked.

"Yeah, they look cute, I don't know yet.", I said, answering her questions. Then the teacher came inside the room.

Miss Taylor discussed about Intonation. I half listened and half looked at Thomas to see what he's doing. He's listening so I would listen too. See? He's a good influence.

I listened attentively to the teacher and jotted down a few notes. Miss Taylor said we will have a quiz about the lesson today to see if we are listening.

Of course, because of being smart and rank one, Thomas got a perfect score. Ana and I got three mistakes but it's fine for us, atleast we didn't get a failing score. We chatted until the bell rang. The others left the room except Holly, who's walking, Thomas, who's packing his things, and Ana and I.

I looked at Thomas. Holly's beside him. What? Then I became nervous. Don't get jealous Bella. I think that's what happens next. Getting jealous. But I shouldn't and can't get jealous.

"Perfect score again huh? You're so smart!", I heard Holly told him and patted his shoulder. He just rolled his eyes while smiling.

"Let's eat lunch.", he told her and he opened the door for her. What a gentleman. Then we're the only ones left in the room.

I feel my knees get weak. Am I jealous? Uh oh.

"Oh.My.God.", I heard Ana say, also seeing the whole thing because she's just beside me. "Are you okay Bella?"

"I d-don't know. A-Am I okay? D-Do I look o-okay?", I said. "I th-think I'm...I'm....-"

"Jealous?"

"Y-Yeahhh? I think so."

"Shh shh. It's gonna be okay. You'll get over it. You'll be fine.", she said, hugging me. "Now smile. Not a fake one.", she said after we broke the hug.

I smiled naturally at her and she smiled back. "Let's go. I'm hungry.", I said.

We went outside, put our books in our locker, and went to the cafeteria to eat lunch.

Ana and I shared a table with Lexi, James and some of our classmates. While eating we girls chatted while James talked to the boys.

A/N: The shake hands scene is kinda based on what happened to me and my school crush. He held out his hand when I became class president and congratulated me. But, I don't have a crush on him anymore.

Oh no! Bella's jealous because of Holly! Will they be friends? Will Thomas like her or he already likes Holly?
