Chapter 571 - Secret Room (8)

"What do you guys do during the hour?" Jules was curious.

"We have teatime with Kristie, play with paper dolls, do some hand games, and hide-and-seek," Luke revealed at the dining room table.

Charles dropped his spoon, slowly turning to my direction. I shrugged my shoulders, finding it another way to get my revenge. Jules went silent, not believing Luke, looking at Alex to confirm the details. Alex miserably nodded his head, "we do it for an hour."

"Is your teacup full?" I wanted to know the progress.

"It's still very full," Jules was telling me he needed more time.

"What do you think of extending the time to two hours?" I faced Luke.

"You have Jules to help you now," I pointed out.

Alex had already agreed to spending more than an hour from his initial promise. If Luke agreed, the time could be automatically extended for the both of them. To convince him, I chugged some supplements in front of me. I pulled out the most pitiful eyes again as I tugged on his sleeve. Luke sighed as he pulled out some conditions, "one more additional workbook and you have to finish everything I give you during mealtime."

"I'll finish everything," I began to touch the tiny portions.

Jules only had today to help Charles with the documents. By the time the next round of weekends came, everything would already be revealed. I was happy that a week remained from returning to school. It was hard suffering from the lack of entertainment here. I didn't like pretending that I enjoyed playing with dolls, creating a storyline for them was annoying. Without a script, the whole thing would quickly collapse.

"We're spending the rest of the day on Kristie," I was too lazy to continue the usual schedule.

"We're playing Kristie says. If Kristie says anything, you have to follow it. But if she doesn't, you get eliminated. If the game ends, we're going back to playing with paper dolls," I hoped the game wouldn't end.

This had to be enough motivation for them to try hard in continuing the game. Alex stared at the paper dolls like he wanted to rip them apart each time I pulled them out. Meanwhile, Luke was soulless as he went along with everything I said. I wanted to end spending time together as much as they did. The three of us were a horrible match together with completely different personalities and ways we spent our usual time.

"Kristie says tightly hug each other," I started the game.

Before I could eliminate them, Luke and Alex tightly hugged each other, not leaving much space between them. I was surprised by how desperate they were to avoid the paper dolls. They waited for me to undo the order, two good looking faces turning to me. If I didn't grow up with them, it was likely I would have melted from the scene. I had to hide my smile as this could be fun.

"Kristie says let each other go and do a backflip and follow it with three twirls. Rika says add an upside-down handstand. Kristie says to quickly return to the sofa after everything is done," I wondered how good they were dancing.

I was always the target of their criticisms during the daytime. Dance was included in the schedule three times a week. However, I rarely saw them dancing as they focused on instructing me. The light demonstrations amounted to nearly nothing. My eyes widened as I admired their perfect backflip and twirls. The angles and lines were exactly the way they shouted at me to follow.

It looked different from the way I did it in the mirror. The clothes properly stayed in their places while the created air made their hair beautifully flow with every movement. It was no wonder they always muttered that I had many faults to fix. Once the routine was finished, they returned to the sofa, not falling for my trap in the middle of the command. I slightly sulked as I wanted to watch them dance for a longer time.

"Kristie says to play a duet piece inside this room. Rika says only one of you can play. Kristie wants to hear a happy song," I placed more tricks.

I was stunned how Luke was always prepared for any kind of situation. He pulled out a violin from his inventory and passed another one to Alex. I was tempted to make him show me his inventory to me. My ears were filled with a brilliant sound, the alluring sadness almost bringing me to tears. I was slowly melting under the gorgeous piece, showing the great song choice. These were the true elites in school. Someone Luke wanted me to become one day.

"Kristie says to play everything backwards until now," I interrupted them.

They made me amazed at how they instantly played the entire song in the opposite tune. In fact, Alex seemed to be enjoying the challenge, slightly smiling in the middle of it. I had to stop with everything they were good at now. I immediately cancelled the order to make them massage my shoulders and legs. Luke frowned as he massaged my legs, "I'm putting some packs on them tonight. Both of your legs are strained."

"Her shoulders are really bad. They're close to being permanently damaged," Alex turned to Luke.

I was wondering why they were overexaggerating everything. Although I had to admit my body was sore lately from hide-and-seek, it wasn't that bad.

"I destroyed it!" Charles slammed the door open.
