"To the library you say . " Luke frowns .
"I know I was sick a few hours ago, but I feel that if I keep on staying in bed, I'd be wasting my precious time for studying for the exams . " I replied .
Every second was precious especially when the time was closer to exams . Well, I did technically have a week left because I was using the space-time room, but I wasn't going to take any chances .
Advertisement"Why are you so desperate to get a good mark? It's just very confusing Rika because ever since you came here you have changed . " Luke asked while tilting his head .
It's more like why haven't you caught on yet . It's because I want to sleep in a decent bed and buy more cute clothes and daily necessities .
"It's because I want to sleep in a decent room with at least the daily necessities without worrying about the amount of points we have . " There! I framed it nicely .
"Rika, if you were worried about these things you should've told me . There are a lot of events to gather more points at this school, but once you get sick, you can't even participate in these events . " Luke answered in a worried tone .
Yes Luke . Of course there are more events, like midterms and finals coming up in the future . However, you know if you get sick you can just defer them with a doctor's note . Plus, you're probably not as stressed about it as I am because you're good at everything!
"Well what events excluding exams? I'm not a genius like you Luke that can do everything in a short period of time! Didn't you want me to study more anyways? In our last school, you kept on dragging me to your 'extra study sessions'!" I yelled in anger .
I didn't know why, but I started to feel a little angry and annoyed from Luke even though I knew he was just trying to help .
Luke looked like he had a face where he wanted to cry . Maybe I overdid it? He is a four year old in the end . However, my body had a reflex where whenever it was embarrassed, it would hide behind things or run away . Yes . I was trying to run away right now after looking at Luke's expression . And at this really bad timing, I have tripped over nothing .
My body was about to slam against the floor, but I was leaning towards the other way when Luke grabbed my wrist and pulled it towards him . How did he get here so fast?
"Let go!" I yelled when I realized Luke was still holding onto my wrist .
Luke let go of my wrist in exchange for a tight hug . He gently patted my back while I started to burst into tears . I wondered at this point how my old family was doing in my past life and maybe my current family in my current life . If I didn't go to this school, I would be sleeping in a fluffy big bed with meals made by my mom in my warm house .
Maybe it was because my body regressed to this young child that my mind was starting to regress as well .
When I finally started to calm down, Luke asked gently, "Are you alright now?"
I nodded my head while thinking that Luke must be feeling homesick as well, but he never showed it . I guess it was me that was unreliable with throwing tantrums everywhere and suddenly crying that made Luke have nobody to depend on .
Luke led me back to the infirmary without me knowing, and said, "You should really take a rest"
I nodded while climbing into a bed and thought that I should give in for today .
