"She even made a schedule to keep track of their turns," Charles revealed to Luke.
"Why didn't you eat breakfast?" Luke knew the cause of all this.
I silently ate the rest of my meal to avoid his question. If I have taken at least one bite from a meal at the cafeteria, none of this would have happened. Luke turned to stare at Cillian for the answers before Cillian chose to silently eat his meal with me. I couldn't have Luke pay more attention to me than he usually did or else I wouldn't be able to go to the club room anymore.
"Both of us woke up a little bit late today," Cillian answered under the pressure.
"Did you take your fever medication?" Luke decided it couldn't be helped.
"Not yet," I didn't want to sleep the rest of the day away as one of its side effects.
"Let's go to the infirmary," he wanted me to stop eating.
"I'll tell the teachers that you'll be taking the day off tomorrow," he sent a message to them while dragging me out of my seat.
It wasn't bad to take the day off tomorrow. Since his intense study sessions were gone, I wouldn't have to use the rest of the days afterwards to catch up on the class material. I followed him to the infirmary as he took out the medications and hooked me to the machines again. Attentively listening to the conversation between Luke and Cillian, I found him going through his list of instructions.
"You have to wake Rika by 6AM or this will repeat again. Since some tests are coming up, she'll also need to complete the workbooks I packed to pass them. Make sure to tell the teachers tomorrow that you'll take care of everything she missed since she may not get the chance to eat again if her breaks are taken by them," Luke began to go through the pages he wrote.
"Is there anything else?" Cillian gulped as he started to take them seriously.
"You can't ever take Rika outside the school. If you have to take her with you, make sure to heighten the security there. She's been kidnapped before," he added.
"Kidnapped?" Cillian was stunned.
"You'll have to keep a close eye on her," Luke emphasised.
Cillian dumbfoundedly nodded his head as Luke left us to return to his dorm to continue working on the doc.u.ments again. He didn't know how much Luke exaggerated the tiny details. My kidnappers were very nice people, more than most of the people in the school. I never finished the workbooks Luke packed for me within two weeks before since they were very thick. The only thing he was telling the truth about was waking me up in the morning around 6AM.
Waking up to find two days has passed from all the side effects from the medications, I found Cillian about to enter the infirmary. Maybe we could go to the club room together today, I detached myself from all the machines to separate from the bed. There were only three more weekdays left until I would finally visit the new Monete hotel on the weekends.
"Is everyone already inside the club room?" I wondered if I should just teleport there.
"They are. Are you feeling a bit better now?" He appeared a little worried.
"This is nothing. I already told you it happens often," I reminded him.
"Let's walk there together," he noticed me about to teleport there.
"So how about going to the new Monete hotel on Saturday?" I suggested.
"I'm not so sure," his mind has changed since Luke had mentioned I was kidnapped before.
"It's only for a few hours," I pulled out the most pitiful eyes.
"I guess a few hours won't matter," he opened the club room.
This was how everyone in the room agreed to visit the new Monete hotel together. Stepping into a hover car with them, I started going through all the attractions together with them. Sienna was missing from this group since she was forced to study with Alex. Unfortunately, she didn't pass one of his tests during their study sessions together. Meanwhile Delia chose to stay back since she was partnered with Luke.
"We can go to the zoo first!" I was curious about the creatures in this district from all the books.
I wore comfortable running shoes and loose sweater and sweatpants, making me feel free. There was no way anyone would associate me with the Roselia family anymore. I never touched the suitcase with all the dresses and accessories inside, abandoning them near the entryway. But everyone besides me chose to stick to their formal attire, brilliantly standing out from the crowd of people once we landed.
"The zoo should be this way," Shelly took the map from the robot.
"Let's go!" I linked arms with her.
"Excuse me, are you interested in show business?" Someone came up to us.
"We're not," Cillian blocked him from coming closer to us.
"I was asking the girl with silver hair," he frowned.
"Let's go to the zoo," I ignored the strange person.
"We will have to call security," Cillian opened his marble to make a report.
"Grab her!" A person yelled at another person behind us.
"Rika!" Shelly tightly grabbed onto my arm as I was being pulled away from her.
"I got her," he tossed me over his shoulder.
"We can go to our theatre now," he placed a blindfold over me.
