Chapter 462 - Again? (3)

"Just wait what will happen once I find you!" Henry shouted.

I was currently hiding where Luke did his spars with Alex together. As Shelly let me know where Henry was heading towards, I spent the rest of my day trying to hide from him. Unfortunately, today was the day where Luke chose to have his spars with Alex after class. This was an incredibly rare event since they spent most of their time doing the fraction work ever since we entered our fourth year. Both of them returned their swords, wondering what was going on as Henry screamed my name near them.

"Why are you looking for Rika?" Luke walked towards him.

"He's trying to recover the -500,000 points they got," Cillian ran to explain.

"Negative 500,000?" Both Luke and Alex couldn't believe him.

"Rika failed all of the subjects while getting some zeros on them," he whispered.

"Can that even be recoverable?" Alex recalled something similar happening to him.

"It can't," Luke agreed.

"I have to sleep outside now. We're not allowed to use the dormitory anymore," Henry lowered his voice while complaining.

"Is it really not recoverable?" He looked at Luke for help.

"It took me months to recover back to zero points with Rika in elementary school," Luke shook his head.

"If you did the workbooks with her, this wouldn't have happened," he didn't console him.

"You're not going to do anything?" Henry wanted him to help.

"Rika is still attending classes," Luke was letting me go.

"In our first year of middle school, Rika skipped as many classes as possible," Alex explained.

"You mean Alan kneeling at the courtyard for hours to convince her to go to class?" Henry had heard about the rumors.

Both Luke and Alex nodded their heads, making the world crash down on Henry. Since both of them were busy, all that Luke cared about was my health and if I properly attended classes. But the conditions of attending classes were looser now, putting my health as the higher priority from our hectic third year. Luckily, I had discovered this when I was partnered to Cillian, earning more freedom along the way.

After Henry gave up on trying to find me, disappointed in Luke, he ran towards the café this time. My eyes widened when Luke parted the bushes I was hiding inside. He knew I was here the entire time but covered for me. I was glad that I properly wore my uniform today with the dress shoes. Brushing the leaves off my skirt, I rose from my spot.

"I couldn't catch up after staying inside the infirmary that time and suffering from the antibiotics," I quickly made up an excuse.

"I heard you also missed the first day of classes," Luke knew about everything going on.

"I felt dizzy after taking the supplements," I lied.

"I told you to wear at least one of the accessories," he noticed I wasn't wearing any of them.

"They fell off when I was running," I rubbed my wrist.

"You can sleep with me tonight," he gave me an order.

I nodded my head as it was better than bumping into Henry. With Luke ending his practice with Alex for the day, I hid behind him as I walked to my old dorm room. Henry would never guess we would be together. Even Sienna was surprised when I walked through the door with Luke. Explaining what had happened, she didn't seem too surprised like she already knew how Henry was chasing me.

"I've been ignoring his messages," Sienna confessed.

"Rika, come here. I want you to finish this workbook by today," Luke didn't want the minus points to continue when I was partnered back with him.

Pulling out a pen to begin studying, this was nothing compared to getting captured by Henry. Since there wasn't a time-space function inside this room, the study session couldn't last for long anyways. When the sky turned completely dark, Luke decided to stop, satisfied with the progress we made today. Finishing three thick workbooks from my high level of concentration, things were really different when you turned more desperate.

"How am I going to attend classes tomorrow?" I shuddered.

"This should be enough to help you pass all the tests," Luke had the heart to comfort me.

Drinking the whole bottle of supplements the next morning, Luke placed more accessories on me after passing my uniform for the day. I felt touched when he already had a small plate of salad out on the living room table. I wouldn't have to go to the cafeteria today for breakfast. Not letting go of his arm, I dragged him into my classroom with me. Henry gasped, feeling betrayed when he saw me with Luke.

"I made sure Rika would pass all her tests today," Luke explained.

With the results in front of me, Daniel was surprised to see how I didn't fail anything during the tests in the morning. But not failing anything wouldn't make our points increase, Cillian stood in between us, making sure Henry wouldn't try to kill me. We were still in last place for all the subjects, leading to more minus points. Running to Luke once the break started, I hid behind his back before Henry escaped from Cillian.

"You can come to our dorm room," Sienna suggested.

Getting the signal from Sienna, I sprinted to their dorm room they used together. As long as they didn't open the door, I would be safe.
