"You're really bad with waking up in the mornings," Cillian wasn't surprised when he watched the video.
"My partner wants to be treated the same after she watched the video, threatening me to bring her breakfast into the dorm room tomorrow morning," Ethan grumbled.
"If Luke can do it, why can't Allan do it?" Delia agreed with Ethan's partner.
"Does Alex spoon feed you for breakfast too?" Sienna turned to Shelly.
Shelly shook her head, not minding the difference in how he treated us. Since she was using the dorm room on her own lately, her smile was brighter, not having to suffer under him. She was the only one who noticed the subtle hints of Alex's threats other than me who directly experienced them. There were many pressuring stares in the video that only people who truly knew them were tortured under.
"I want to be treated normally too," I pouted.
"I want to go to the cafeteria in the mornings," I was jealous of the people who had the freedom.
"Do you think you can wake up in time to go to the cafeteria?" Alex joined us.
"Will you let me go if I can?" I wanted to choose my own breakfast.
"Not yet Rika," Luke didn't like the idea.
"That video isn't even real," I flopped onto my sleeping bag.
"It isn't how you usually spend your mornings?" Oliver wondered.
"It mostly is but there were a lot of things that were excluded," I sighed.
"What more could there be?" Ethan blamed Luke for how his partner threatened him by using Sprinkles.
"I wonder," Luke warned them to stop digging into the details.
"Can you bring me my breakfast into our room too?" Sienna turned to Cillian.
"The usual menu?" Cillian knew her preferences.
"Yup!" Sienna's eyes glittered.
"We should take turns," he wanted the same treatment.
Sienna slumped, feeling a little disappointed in Cillian. Meanwhile Delia was already sending messages to Allan to order him to do the same as Luke. It wasn't like I could complain about my mornings with Luke and Alex inside the room. I almost felt like crying as Shelly was the only one who understood me. There were so many misunderstandings inside the hallways, envy present in their voices.
"Can we switch partners again?" I faced Sienna.
"You said it wasn't bad living with Luke," I found living with Cillian wasn't bad.
"I think this is your missing pen," Shelly interrupted us.
"Where?" I moved closer to her to look at her screen.
"In one of the posts," she pointed out.
I stiffened when Shelly was right. There was a picture bragging about how they managed to steal a pen I used often. But I soon smiled, hoping that someone would steal my workbooks eventually. I didn't mind if they stole my things, most of them were provided by Luke anyways. It would be even better if they also managed to take my accessories as well. Noticing the post on Shelly's screen, Luke frowned as he went on the fan site to search for the same post.
"It's escalating," Alex muttered.
"I can always use another pen," I didn't care.
"Let me check your inventory," Luke wanted to check if there were more missing items.
"You also have a hair clip missing from your hair," Cillian noticed from taking Luke's role for a few days in the past.
"It probably fell off," I shrugged.
"It shouldn't fall off that easily," Luke thoroughly began to check all the accessories on me.
"It's a hair clip and a bracelet," Alex helped him double check.
"But how does a bracelet fall off?" Delia found it strange.
"It shouldn't," Luke gestured to me to pass my marble to him.
Since I had nothing to hide, I gave him my marble. Luke's face hardened when he noticed a few things missing like my notepads. Thankfully, the person left my cage of bugs untouched, the thing that mattered the most when I negotiated with Ethan. I wondered what spell my stalker was using to take my possessions. Seeing that no one had noticed before the post, this person was very good at what he or she did.
While Luke reported this incident to the teachers through a message, I wondered if it was a really big deal. When Luke was about to start his usual study sessions the next day, I brightly smiled, not being able to hide my happiness when the workbooks had disappeared. This stalker was finally becoming useful. Luke was stunned that everything he prepared was gone, double checking his inventory again.
"They stole the workbooks," Luke explained to Alex.
"They did what?" Alex couldn't believe him.
"Oh well, I guess it can't be helped," I rose from my seat.
"Sit down Rika. I can still go over everything in class today," Luke pulled out a blank notebook.
"But all my pens are gone," I had nothing to write with.
My stalker was a genius, stealing all my stationary to make it almost impossible to study. Alex passed me his pen to begin the study session. When Luke was about to pull out his own, he couldn't find any inside his inventory. Before he could ask, Alex passed him another one of his pens. It was a pity that Alex was here with us, the study session was close to being cancelled. There were more benefits to the stalking if I went through my memories.
