Chapter 508 - Stalker (7)

Feeling excited to start the new day, I couldn't sleep after closing my eyes for several hours. I searched my clothes to pull out my marble to plan what I would do today. But oddly, I couldn't feel my marble anywhere when I remembered putting it inside one of my pockets. My nightgown had a few pockets in the inner parts, having a small zipper to open them. Going through all the clothes I wore again, I eventually gave up when there were no signs of my marble.

I decided to jump on the bed, hoping my marble would fall out. In the process, I accidentally stepped on Charles' arm, Alex's leg and Luke's hand. Making them all wake up, they wondered why I was causing all this commotion. I knew they must have been extremely exhausted to sleep through everything when I made lots of sounds in trying to find my marble. I turned to Luke, "do you have my marble with you? I can't find it on me."

"Your marble is gone?" Luke double checked all my pockets.

I nodded my head, finding the stalker go too far. A marble was extremely important to carry in the first district, serving as some sort of identification that you were a citizen of the district. This made Charles and Alex frantically search for their marbles, checking their clothes. But I knew their marble was missing when they appeared extremely frustrated, stepping out of the bed to jump on the ground to do the same thing as me.

"It's gone," Alex clenched his hands into fists.

"Mine too," Charles slightly trembled.

"How are we going to attend class today?" I wondered.

"My school supplies are also gone!" Miliana burst into our room.

Since Miliana had her marble with her, she received an incoming video call from Shelly. Accepting the call, Shelly's face popped up, appearing refreshed from discovering that she may not have to go to class today. She perfectly hid her smile, "my school supplies vanished."

"Why didn't you accept my call?" Shelly asked me.

"My marble disappeared," I struggled to hide my happiness when classes had to be cancelled today.

"I'll send a report to the teachers," she ended the call.

"Can we borrow your marble to make some calls?" Luke turned to Miliana.

"I'm not sure," she didn't want her marble to disappear like ours.

"We're not going to touch it. We're just going to ask you to make some calls for us," Charles pressured her.

This was how Cillian ended up delivering his uniforms and Sienna's to our room since I had a similar size as her while having the same shoe size. Miliana quickly left to go to the cafeteria to escape from Charles after she finished making the calls. Luke frowned while he continued to tailor Sienna's uniform as they were too loose on me. Everyone else had already changed into their uniform, making it perfectly fit them with a spell.

"Your waist is so small," Miliana brought our breakfast.

Charles was stunned when Luke managed to shrink everything, the final result being almost half the size of the original. Miliana looked at the tailored uniform and me multiple times, wondering if it would fit me. When I changed into the new uniform, I was surprised to find everything still loose on me. I didn't think my size would be so small. Not wasting any time, Luke gestured to me to give the uniform back to him so he could make more adjustments.

"I can help with the shirt," Alex offered.

"I'll do the sweater," Charles noticed we may be late for class at this rate.

"I can do the ribbons," Miliana added when she finished eating her breakfast.

"I want you to at least eat two bites of yogurt, porridge and finish your salad this time," Luke wanted me to eat breakfast while he worked on my uniform to save time.

Since Miliana added a bit of sugar to my portions, the food wasn't hard to finish. The annoying part was when Alex and Charles kept on checking if the size would fit, interrupting me from enjoying my breakfast. But Luke already had a rough idea, being experienced from passing me my uniform every morning. He was the first one to finish adjusting the skirt, moving onto the socks next.

"How is it still not fitting?" Charles started to get frustrated.

"Just leave it," I couldn't find a big difference.

"The shirt is finally finished," Alex wanted me to try it on.

Luke started to spoon feed Alex and Charles while they worked on my uniform after he quickly finished eating his breakfast. Unfortunately, this was the next video to be released, Shelly showing me the new post before the teacher walked into the classroom. Everyone admired the close relationship between the three of them, working hard to help me change into my uniform. I sighed as some of them even claimed I was treated like a princess.

"We don't have any school supplies. Our marbles were stolen alongside all our possessions," I made sure to tell the teacher first.

"None?" The teacher stiffened.

"Our marbles were stolen!" Charles was close to yelling.

"Can we even have class today?" I was filled with hope.

"It will be hard to have class when you don't have anything," the teacher had no choice but to cancel classes.

"Can you let your colleagues know?" I brightly smiled.
