I quickly changed into my uniform so I could go get breakfast. It was scary whenever I slept in because Luke would just drag me to the cla.s.sroom and give me a bar of chocolate to survive on until lunch.

I went to the cafeteria to order a big meal where I saw a limited edition menu pop up. Strangely there was two options: a western turkey, mashed potato and pasta combo or asian noodles, acorn pudding and spice combo.

Was this what I thought it was?

These were the food that I ate for thanksgiving in my past life! I was surprised that this holiday was still applicable here where I had no vacation whatsoever!

I ordered the western combo as the aroma of the food just drifted into the air. The bountiful food in front of me was just enchanting as I took a deep breath as I absorbed the scene.

"Wow Rika how are you going to finish all this food in time for cla.s.s?" Sh.e.l.ly came up to me and asked.

"How much time is left before cla.s.s?"

"Five minutes."

Huk! I choked on my food while thinking how I was going to finish all this in a short period of time.

Wait. Did I even need to finish this? There was never a rule in school that doesn't officially allow to not eat in cla.s.s. As long as Luke doesn't notice I'll be fine, won't I?

"Sh.e.l.ly! Do you have some containers and utensils with you?"

"Umm. I think I have them in my storage box. I'll give them to you right now."

A storage box was a high cla.s.s item that someone could store items in where the state of the item wouldn't change. The size of the storage box depended on the amount of mana you possessed and it was really convenient to carry around.

Once Sh.e.l.ly pa.s.sed me the containers that were made out of pure crystal and gold utensils, I put my food inside and stored it in my own storage box.

"Let's go to cla.s.s now!"

Sh.e.l.ly looked at me like 'are you sure Luke won't figure out?'

I glanced back, 'I'm a pretty good actor."

Sh.e.l.ly oddly smiled back as she looked like she wasn't convinced.

We headed towards the cla.s.sroom together with thankfully not meeting Luke along the way. We sat down on our seats as cla.s.s soon started.

Twenty minutes later:

I was feeling really hungry because I barely had a bit of my breakfast. I pulled out the food from my storage box and got out the utensils to start eating.

Maybe it was because of the smell, but everyone looked toward me when I pulled off the lid to start eating.

"Rika, you know it's cla.s.s time right?" The math teacher asked.

"Yes, but there was no rule in the school handbook that a student couldn't eat in cla.s.s." I replied back.

I ignored the piecing glare from Luke and continued to eat while the math teacher sighed and went back to teaching.

I guess they never considered to put that rule in the handbook because this school could never imagine their students from mostly the finest households to not have 'proper' manners ingrained into them.

During cla.s.s, I managed to finish eat the western thanksgiving combo while taking notes. It was easy to pretend not to notice the interesting looks around me with the applause of my mult.i.tasking skills and concentration.

Once the first set of cla.s.ses were over, Luke angrily approached me with a grim expression.

"Really Rika! You're really do the most unexpected things don't you?"

"I'm not so sure about that, I was really hungry so I did whatever I needed in order to survive and I knew I wouldn't be able to survive with a mere chocolate bar."

I knew this was going to happen but this was way to hars.h.!.+ Luke demanded that I handed over my share of the points and said that he'll buy my meals for me instead.

Sob. Luke and I had very different tastes so this would be a torture until his anger dissipated.

I started to brainwash myself that my life was going to get better after this!

I am thankful I have a roof over my head.

I am thankful I have good friends.

I am thankful I have a good family.

But, I am not thankful I have a terrible partner!!!
