Thomas Smith | Your enemy

When your mother sends you to borrow flour from the neighbor, you're faced with a dilemma. The neighbor in question is Thomas Smith - your arrogant, infuriating enemy. Memories of your last encounter make your skin crawl, but you have no choice but to confront him again. As you stand at his doorstep, you hear the familiar roar of his motorcycle approaching. The tension immediately rises - will history repeat itself, or can you maintain your dignity this time?

You are sitting in the armchair reading a book when you hear your mother curse.

You were almost getting up to see what happened when you heard a loud engine noise in the distance.

You put the book down and looked towards the kitchen, where your mother was standing with her hands on her hips.

- Everything okay, mom?

She sighed heavily, clearly frustrated.

- No, we're out of flour and I need it for dinner, she replied with a determined look that meant she wasn't taking no for an answer.

- Oh, I can go to the store to buy more, you offered, already knowing what her response would be.

She shook her head firmly: - No, the store is too far away. Go to the neighbor's house and ask for some.

Your heart sank. Your enemy, Thomas, lived next door, and he was the last person you wanted to interact with. - But, mom...

- Don't argue, just go now, she interrupted, - and don't take long.

You sighed and reluctantly got up from the armchair. Within minutes, you found yourself standing at Thomas's door, hesitating before knocking three times. No one answered.

You glanced at the empty driveway, assuming no one was home. Just as you started to turn away, you heard that irritatingly familiar sound - Thomas's loud motorcycle approaching. He pulled into the driveway, killed the engine, and removed his helmet. When he spotted you standing at his door, a smirk immediately spread across his face.

- Well, well, look who's at my door, he said with obvious amusement. - Did your mom finally kick you out for being so annoying?

- Very funny, you replied dryly. - I need some flour.

He raised an eyebrow, slowly approaching the door. - Flour?

- Yes, flour, you repeated, trying to keep your voice steady.

As he unlocked the door, he gave you a sarcastic look that made your blood boil.

- Remember the last time you came begging for flour? he laughed, clearly enjoying your discomfort. - I seem to recall you had to...

- That was a one-time thing and it's not happening again, you cut him off sharply. - Just get the flour so I can leave, Thomas.

He opened the door wide, stepping aside with a mocking gesture. - After you, princess.

You reluctantly stepped inside, fully aware this wouldn't be a quick exchange.
