"I directed them to your classroom," I was allied with him.
"Thanks Rika," Cillian had Sienna behind him.
"They're being too much this time!" Sienna complained.
"I don't remember being like that to them," she found them going to the extremes.
"They're not friends anymore," Delia didn't separate from me.
It was Luke's first time seeing our fight directly like this. Most times, all of us avoided dragging Luke into the fight, afraid he would end everything. They must have been very desperate today, each of them ignoring Luke the entire time. When the break time was over, we returned back to our classrooms to our next class. We had survived the day today and could go to the club room directly after classes finished for the day.
"This is paradise," I unlocked the club room.
"The club room!" Sienna sprinted inside once I opened the door.
"Is it your turn today?" The president was used to this.
"Can you extend our turns?" Sienna began to beg him.
"Can you kick them out, saying they disobeyed the club rules?" I clasped my hands together.
"You know I can't do this no matter how many times you guys ask me," the president waved his hands to decline.
"I can't kick someone out of the club if they didn't break the rules nor can I hide or take away the keys from them," he remembered our past requests.
After many failed attempts, we decided to use the rest of the time in gaming. In exchange for using the room for this weekend, I only had two weekdays this week. By tomorrow, I would be on the opposite end and chasing my friends to switch their turns with me. Meanwhile, Oili made sure to stay far away from us, seeing that we might form a grudge against him since he was able to come every day to the room.
Seeing how their club room had completely turned into a gaming room by us, the members saw the furniture in the room change. The tables were pushed to the side to make more space for the sleeping bags while the space in between the shelves was a place a makeshift bed was made. We had brought some pillows and blankets with us from our dorms to make the space even comfier.
No longer did the members organize the artifacts or bring newer ones in from the other districts, they focused on making sure everyone was keeping the rules. Making sure we didn't hide some keys so the rest of them couldn't access the rooms. We also had to keep the rooms clean to make sure we wouldn't damage some of the items on the shelves. They also had to wake us up in time to get back to the dorms, afraid that they would get complaints from the teachers.
"Your fight was pretty intense today," Luke commented once I entered the dorm room.
"It wasn't as bad today," I recalled worse ones.
"Hasn't it been a week?" He recalled.
"No one is willing to give in," I sighed.
This was how I came to run with Henry to find the others taking their turns today. Although we were enemies yesterday, we were allies today. Searching all the classrooms, we sent each other messages to track where they were. Once we spotted Shelly hiding inside the area where Luke sparred with Alex, we stiffened. We couldn't believe she was using them as her shield, it was almost against the rules.
"Shelly! Just today?" I ran towards her.
"No, we're not friends anymore!" She noticed Henry with me.
"Trap her!" Henry yelled at me.
I nodded my head to tightly hug Shelly, not letting her run off from us. It was easier pressuring her with the both of us. Tears made my eyes glisten as I made them larger, trying to look as cute as I could, I puffed out my cheeks. I turned my voice into a higher pitch and begged her, "Rika just needs today. She'll be generous on the days with her turn too."
"Can we forget the other days? I just need one day too," Henry pleaded with me.
"Let me go!" Shelly tried to escape from my grasp.
"Shelly, Rika has been friends with you for a long time," I reminded her of our long period of loyalty to each other.
"I told the both of you that I'm not giving up!" Shelly screamed.
"Please?" Henry kneeled down.
"Just once?" I dropped to hug her legs.
"Grab her other leg!" I gestured to Henry.
"Don't you see everyone staring at us!" She pointed out.
"You can give us your turn!" Both of us looked up to face her.
"What's going on?" Luke walked towards us with Alex from all the commotion.
"You guys ignored me on those days too!" She held a grudge against us.
"Would you like me to massage your leg?" I started to lightly pinch her leg.
