"You knew from the beginning that this school was crazy. But there's one person that can save you from all this madness.
A person that, with her beauty and her elegance, will help you out to find the hidden treasure of gambling.
That person is Mar...
You explained the simple game to her. All you had to do was sit on the bull and stay on it for as long as you could. And the winner would be the one who managed to stay on it longer.
—Pretty simple, right?— you ask with a smile. Mary seemed a little shocked about this game, as the games didn't usually require physical skills. Mary wasn't about to give up though.
—Let's just start. You'll go first. — Mary ordered.
You obliged and sat on the horse. Mary waited for your signal before starting the timer. Slowly the electronic bull started rocking from side to side and soon it was on the move. You felt nervous but also enjoyed the rush. You managed to stay on for about 30 seconds before you fell off. Luckily your fall was softened by the cushions underneath the raging bull.
Mary seemed very nervous as it was her time to ride the bull. But she was determined to beat you. She got on top of it, looking confident.
—Okay and... Go!!
You started the timer as the bull started moving as well. For some reason, the bull seemed to move a lot more aggressively. In fact, it moved so aggressively that Mary held onto it like her life depended on it. Mary couldn't help but scream as the bull shook her around like a rag doll. You tried not to laugh at Mary's suffering, but the situation was very funny.

Even though Mary had a harder time than you, she managed to stay on top of it for 40 seconds. You regretted losing to her only by 10 seconds, but you were used to losing to her at this point. Luckily you guys never used money to bet, otherwise your family would've gone bankrupt.
You helped the shaking and traumatized Mary up as you helped tidy up her hair and crooked shirt.
—You win once again! I'm not surprised.— you laugh, trying to cheer up Mary, who wasn't sure if winning was worth it.
—Can we please go again? I really want to beat you!
—Oh hell no.— Mary looked at you with a threatening look, making you shiver.
You gulp.
—Please Mary? Pleeeease? PLEASE.— you ask her in ten different tones, trying to see which one works.
Mary sighs very heavily, making it sound like she aged just by listening to you.
—FINE. I'm choosing the gamble next time though!
Mary sat on top of the bull as you also got her to go first. You grin. Now it was time for your plan. You press the button to make the bull move as you start the timer. Suddenly, you drop the timer in your hand as you jump on the bull and behind Mary. Mary glances at you in shock as the bull starts moving.
—W-What are you doing??—Mary screams out as the pace picks up.
—This way we can try beating the school's high score! I'm just helping you out~~
You lean closer to Mary, pressing your chest against her back and holding the horns of the bull, putting your hands on hers. Mary blushes red. She really wanted to let go and gain some distance but knew that wasn't possible unless she wanted to fall.
Mary mumbled something as she seemed to accept her fate. As the bull started moving more and more aggressively, you held onto Mary tighter. You couldn't help but giggle, enjoying everything about this moment. Mary, on the other hand, felt like she was going to pass out for multiple reasons. One of the reasons being you.
After what felt like forever, you start to lose your balance. As you panicked, you hugged Mary's waist, causing the both of you to fall off the bull's back. You fall on your back, the cushions softening your fall. With Mary laying on top of you, she quickly breaks out of your hold and gets up, stopping the bull and the timer
—That was so fun!! What was our time Mary?
Mary looks at the timer and then shows it to you. 1:20. It was a school record. You smile brightly.
—That doesn't count though. We cheated, since you... helped.—Mary said, ruining your celebratory moment.
—Well that's okay! I think it just shows that we're stronger when we work together. What do you think? I'd think we'd make a pretty good team!~
Mary looks down at you, still laying on your back. She blushes slightly, tucking her hair behind her ear and leaning down as she offers a hand.
—Well, if you insist.
You both smile as you take Mary's hand and she helps you up. Holding her hand, it felt like you two had made a deal, a promise to each other. You were very excited, and couldn't wait to see what things you two could accomplish together.
