After finis.h.i.+ng up the last cla.s.s, Allan walked towards me and said, "I think we should have a talk . "

He grabbed my hand and pulled me to the field behind the cla.s.sroom while the others were still packing their stuff . "I know that you don't care if you miss cla.s.s or get more minus points, but I care . It reflects back bad on me that I have a partner who misbehaves even though it's only for two weeks . "

At this point, I knew I was being cruel to Allan, but I didn't care . I cared more about my freedom that I would even rarely get in the first place . "So what? So what you care? What are you going to do about it?" I asked .

"You weren't like this with Luke," Allan replied .

Gos.h.!.+ And I thought that Allan was the kind of person who liked to laze around with Ellen's constant complaints about him .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

"Well if that's all you wanted to ask, I'm going back to the cla.s.sroom to finish packing up my stuff and go back to our room . " (Rika)

Allan tightly grabbed onto my hand and asked, " What should I do to get you to at least attend cla.s.s?"

He kneeled down onto the floor while he started to beg, "I don't know why you're behaving this way, but please stop . I'll do anything to make you at least attend cla.s.s . I got really fl.u.s.tered this morning when you wouldn't wake up when I tried waking you up for almost an hour . So I attended cla.s.s alone to get asked by everyone where you were . If that wasn't enough, I got asked by every teacher who came into the room where you were and got scolded many times for not bringing you to cla.s.s . I'd be lying to say I wasn't upset about the -100 000 points, but as long you attend cla.s.s, I'll be willing to overlook that one blunder as the representative of the Krista family . So please at least attend cla.s.s!"

At this rate, he was threatening and begging me . After living for 16 years in my past life + almost 7 years my current life, I wasn't falling for his sweet words . I shook his hand off and went back to the cla.s.sroom to pack up my stuff, not giving Allan an answer .

When I was about to leave the cla.s.sroom, I got stopped by Ellen near the exit . "Aren't you being way too harsh Rika?"

"Nope . I'm helping you by letting Allan taste a bit of his own medicine," I replied .

"Rika~ You don't have to go this far for me though . Thanks for caring though . " (Ellen)

Well, I wasn't doing this for her, but for me . However, I couldn't say it like that so I framed it differently .

"No, Ellen you're way too nice! I'll just do this for a couple of more days and I'll stop!" (Rika)

Ellen reluctantly got out of my way with a concerned looking face while I started to walk towards my room .

When I got to my room to finish reading the rest of my light novel, I wondered why it wasn't so fun anymore . The plot didn't seem to be going anywhere while the junk food that I was eating started to lose its taste . This was when I heard some voices outside the door, "I saw Allan still kneeling outside at that field even though it's been over four hours!" One voice said .

"That long? When I saw him outside, only two hours has pa.s.sed!" Another voice whispered .

"I wondered what happened . " The first voice answered back .

Maybe it was the book that was boring, I tried to convince myself . I switched to another book, while I heard someone knocking on the door .

I learned that in kindergarten that no one could open the door to the room if the owner of the room wasn't the pair itself . So it meant the person that was knocking on the door, wasn't Allan .

I ignored the knocking until I heard Luke's voice, "I know that you're inside Rika . Let me in or you won't know what will happen to you next month . "

I ignored Luke's threats as I flipped another page in the light novel . I wondered if this book was boring as well, as I began to pick up a new book .

One book later, I began to get thirsty . So I opened the door to get myself some water from the well . Unfortunately, when I opened the door, I saw the angry face of Luke .

I quickly tried to close the door when I saw his face, but Luke already barged into the room . "What were you thinking Rika?" Luke asked angrily while grabbing onto my shoulders .

"Nothing much . " I replied back .

I started to shrink back as I saw myself reflected back from Luke's genuinely stormy ocean blue eyes .
