Most times, alarms didn't work on me, but somehow the shaking would almost always wake me up.

"What," I groaned while I opened my eyes to see the moonlight dripping through the window.

When I looked at the time on the alarm, it was 4AM! From what I knew, I always set up my alarm to somewhere around 6-7AM, which meant someone tampered with my alarm.

I knew that someone was probably the one who woke me up before the sunrise, which usually came around when I usually woke up.

"Why?" I asked the person with an agitated frown.

"We have to go to work by 1PM today. Do you not remember the message we got a week ago?" Luke said like it was obvious.

"Well, it was by 1PM, which means to me that by normal standards, we probably don't need to wake up this early to go to work." I responded with a hint of anger.

Luke started to untangle my ruby red hair in the dim lights when I sat up while rubbing my eyes to try to believe that this wasn't a dream.

When my hair was yanked by the brush, I knew it wasn't a dream due to the faint pain.

"So, when do we eat breakfast?" I asked.

Usually the morning routine was to be woken up by Luke, go to the washroom to freshen up, wear my uniform, make preparations for the morning cla.s.ses and then to go to the cafeteria to go eat breakfast.

However, I somehow got a hint that today would be no ordinary day since Luke woke me up earlier than usual.

"We're not eating breakfast today," Luke softly responded.

When my jaws dropped in shock, Luke added, "we don't have enough time for breakfast, so I prepared a chocolate bar to eat instead during the time we walk to the teleportation circle."

What! No breakfast? Just what were we doing that took up more than nine hours to prepare to go to work?

"What are we possibly doing today that will take up as much as nine hours of my sleep time to get ready for our a.s.signment," I yelled in astonishment.

"Just some shopping and going to other detours along the way," Luke answered while being very vague.

"Oh, just some shopping I see, well I don't need to go. I'll just wear my uniform there. My sleeping time is very important to me you see. It cannot be wasted with idle things such as shopping" I replied back with some irritation.

"Well, we wouldn't have to this if you had proper clothes to wear at work in the first place Rika." Luke said while trying to appease me.

"Ummm. I do have proper clothes. Remember the clothes I bought at the mall with you?" I countered back.

Luke sighed, "Well you need even finer clothes to work in the first district as part of the dress code."

This was when I recalled most of the clothes that Luke picked out at the mall was one of the most expensive clothes in each store that we visited in the third district. I remembered that I had spent most of my savings that I got from my parents that day and there was a lot of money piled up from the past years that I haven't visited them as well in there.

"Fine! If it's part of that stupid dress code, then I'll go." I said while giving up and stomping my feet in the process.

"So when are we going shopping?" I added.

"Right after you dress." Luke said as he finished brus.h.i.+ng my hair.

I quickly put on my clothes that I bought from the mall. A white lace dress that came up to the middle of my thighs and white dress shoes should be adequate enough to shop in the first district!

When Luke looked approvingly of the outfit I wore that he chose at the mall the last time we went, we walked out of the dorm to go to the school's teleportation circle to go to somewhere I a.s.sumed would be something like a mall in the first district.

After a blink of an eye, we were already inside the store?
