My Bothersome Life 92 Social Week 3

"Where's Luke?" I asked the butler when I couldn't find him inside the house.

"The young master is already outside waiting for you, Miss Rika."

Luke greeted me with a frown inside his hover car, "We're going to be late Rika."

"We're not having breakfast today?" I asked while pouting.

Luke handed me a chocolate bar, "We're going to eat breakfast at our first social event. But just in case you're really hungry, I prepared a chocolate bar."

I grabbed the familiar chocolate bar and started eating. From my experience, I wasn't going to be allowed to eat much anyways since food was considered to be a decoration at these events.

"How many events are we going to anyways?" I asked Luke while hoping that we only went to one event today.

"About two to three events per day?"

"Maybe even more if the events end early?" Luke mumbled.

What! It was basically torture to go to two to three events in this attire for the next week as I already had trouble walking in these dress shoes I currently wore due to heels that were usually missing from my usual dress shoes I wore for school.

"Did you possibly make this schedule?" I asked while my hatredness for Luke increased.

"My parents did."

"..."

Well, I had nothing to say then. I have never met Luke's parents while Luke had never met my parents. However, I always thought of them as very strict parents as Luke always had amazing grades and habits.

I guess Luke was much of a victim as I was. Wait. It's Luke's parents that scheduled this for him!

"Why do I have to follow him?" I accidently mumbled out loud from complaint.

"It's because you're my partner and partners have to attend these events together." Luke answered naturally.

Meaning that partners suffered together.

I sighed as nothing good ever came out from being stuck with Luke.

When our conservation had come to a conclusion, I looked at the scenery outside the window.

A great sprawl of mansions with their own private gardens and forests around them made it seem less like a futuristic district and more like a park. Maybe the first district had even more wildlife than the third district as there were no such things like highways in the first district as everyone travelled by hover cars and buses.

When the hover car descended into the platform of the large overlooking mansion, I knew this was the first location.

I wore a puffy navy silk dress with a large bow at my hips. Ignoring the large hair clip pinned onto my hair and the tight rose choker on my neck that were already very uncomfortable, I looked at the glossy marble floors of the ballroom.

I knew that today would be a big struggle when I already struggled to walk properly in Luke's mansion when the floors were not polished. But these floors looked very slippery from its great shine as it looked like it was very finely polished.

I grabbed onto Luke's arm for my safety as he soon abandoned me to greet his friends once I sat down on a chair.

I looked around the ballroom to find busy waiters serving drinks to the guests while there was a buffet table that was barely touched by any of the participants in the event as they were busy socializing.

Maybe some business deals were made or great connections were established today. However, I couldn't take my eyes off the delicious strawberry shortcakes on the buffet table.

Luke was still far away from the buffet table with Alex and his other friends that were in other schools in the first district. This meant that I had a great chance to eat that cake unnoticed from Luke and his friends.

I took off my annoying dress shoes and walked towards the buffet table while being barefoot. I grabbed a tiny plate from the table and started to stack cookies and cakes on the disappointing small plate.

To not attract attention, I looked around to see if anyone was looking before crawling underneath the table. Thankfully, the long table was covered by a white silky tablecloth, making it a great hiding place.

I smiled as I took a bite of the strawberry shortcake on the bottom of my plate.

'So Good~' I immediately thought.

After finishing all the desserts on my plate, I continued to stay underneath the table so I didn't have to socialize with anyone at the party.

"Kya!" A waiter screamed when finding me underneath the table when trying to get out the box beside me.

"Slush!" I whispered to the waiter.

Unfortunately, I became the center of attention as the guests suddenly stopped conversing as they saw me trying to silence the waiter underneath the table.

I got up with no other choice with my hiding spot now discovered.

I lifted up my empty plate, "I dropped my plate and I was looking for it under the table."

None of the guest believed my excuse as some guests started to chuckle and others started to look the other direction from my pathetic excuse.

I hoped that Luke would also look at another direction, but I found him smiling stiffly towards my direction with his friends.

"Isn't that your fiancée Luke?" One of Luke's friends asked while chuckling.

"My cousin's fiancée is a bit unique," Alex tried to help Luke.
