"I'm here to help Rika move her stuff," Luke knocked on our dorm room.
Today was the day I was going to move into the dorm room that Delia shared with Henry. Cillian opened the door, pushing the suitcases Luke had given him a week ago. Luke thanked him for the suitcases Cillian passed onto him before gesturing for me to leave the room. I g.r.o.a.n.e.d since he was going to directly give all of these to Henry, going through a more detailed list of instructions he probably created for him.
Since Henry waited for me outside the dorm room, Luke didn't have to knock on the door again. When he spotted all of the suitcases, he didn't accept them. I smiled as I knew he wasn't as generous as Cillian was. Maybe we could leave all of them outside the room since I already had all the things I needed inside my inventory.
"I'm not taking care of her for the next two weeks," he opened the door for me.
"Henry is right," I nodded to agree.
"Listen carefully to me Rika," Luke grabbed onto my wrist.
"You have to take these supplements every morning. I don't care if you're late for classes, but you have to eat breakfast after taking them. You also have to make sure you wear at least one thing inside this case," he quickly pushed the suitcases into the room.
"I get it," I closed the door on him after he let me go.
The dorm that Delia shared with Henry was a bit better than the one that Cillian shared with Sienna. They had two separate bedrooms while the living room was extremely small. My mood went up as I had more privacy here. Although I used a separate bedroom from Luke, he could go in and out as he pleased. Pushing the suitcases beside the door, I abandoned them to step into the bedroom that Delia used.
"You can ignore the messages Luke sent you!" I yelled to Henry.
"I'm planning to," Henry leaned against the doorframe.
"That's what I like about you," I turned to him.
"I'll meet you at class tomorrow," he left to give me some space.
Setting my alarm to 6AM, I decided to sleep for the rest of the day since I was tired after suffering through a day of classes. I could meet Shelly in the classroom tomorrow while I would go to the club room afterwards. But I forgot, without anyone waking me up, I would sleep in until a bit after afternoon had passed. Stretching my arms once I got up, I noticed the sky was already dark. Did I wake up in the middle of the night?
Switching my marble on, I was surprised since all the classes finished around this time. I stiffened when Henry knocked on my bedroom door, deciding to go back to sleep to avoid him. Hearing him turn the doorknob, he walked into my room. He pulled my blanket away from me, "how could you sleep for the entire day? Do you know how humiliated I was when the teachers asked where you were?"
"You could have woken me up," I rose to argue.
"Do you really need someone to wake you up every single day?" He dropped my blanket onto the floor.
"I'll wake up in time tomorrow," I pulled my blanket from the ground.
"You better," he closed the door.
The next day, I managed to wake up at 6AM since I got enough sleep from the day before. I had enough time to go to the cafeteria after quickly changing into my uniform. Meanwhile, the horrible supplements and accessories stayed inside the suitcase. The morning was so peaceful without having anyone helping me get ready for classes. Ordering a small plate of salad for breakfast, I took my time eating.
I also got to wear the size I wanted for my uniform. I liked wearing loose clothes, but Luke would never allow me to wear them. I didn't even wear my skirt, choosing to wear a long sweater. It was almost like a comfortable mini dress as I ignored all the strange looks that I got in the hallways. Strolling into my seat before classes started, I realized how nice it was to be here early. Shelly was already inside the classroom, waiting for me.
"I never knew we could wear our uniforms like this," she sat beside me.
"Well, they never told us how we should wear out uniforms," I smiled.
"You're wearing the running shoes," she pointed out.
Wearing dress shoes wasn't a part of the uniform. Everyone just chose to wear them like it was a part of the formal dress code. I never felt so free in my life, able to do everything on my own. Henry didn't even take a single glance at me, choosing to continue his conversation with Cillian. How did both Delia and Sienna have such good partners? I started to envy them before getting my textbook out for classes.
The teachers, knowing that I didn't break any of their rules, chose to ignore me as I pretended to listen to their lessons. Whenever they asked me some questions, Shelly shifted her notebook towards me with the answers on them. I was glad that whenever we changed partners, we could choose new seats as well. Being in the second row was the best, everyone was so generous to let me switch seats with them.
