My Bothersome Life Chapter 48

I woke up with someone tussling the bed covers and the rough movements that shook of the bed .

"Rika"

Is someone calling my name? I wanted to sleep more to recover my exhaustion from shopping yesterday . . .

"Rika!" Someone yelled scoldingly .

"Ok! I'm up, I'm up!" I yelled back .

AdvertisementI reluctantly got up from my bed and rubbed my eyes in confusion . With my eyes focusing on the person in front of me with a frown, I noticed Luke was already ready to go to school .

I could already anticipate his lecture of waking up on time . What time was it anyways? I looked at the digital clock beside my bed on the wooden tabletop to see it was still 6AM .

Of course it was 6AM . And when did the school day start for teachers like us? From what I remembered:

A middle aged woman in her thirties has said, "Because you're only teaching one subject, you're required to come to school by 10AM sharp!"

That means I had four hours to get ready didn't I? And why is Luke already wearing his fancy school uniform?

Surely he isn't going to make me do the same? What was I thinking . . . Didn't he wake me up to prepare for school just like he did? SIgh .

"It's 6AM and we're supposed to be there by 10AM, so why did you wake me up so early?" I asked while already knowing the answer .

At this rate, I wanted a extra hour of sleep . However, that would mean negotiating with Luke a bit .

"It's going to take time to commute to school from this hotel . Did you forget we're not in the first district anymore where there's no traffic?" Luke answered back logically .

I was sure the commute time wouldn't take more than two hours . Maybe Luke read about this from a book?

Luke grabbed my arms and pulled me up from the bed and passed me my uniform . Hesitating while grabbing my uniform, I sulked while grabbing my hair brush as well .

Since I was young, maybe after kindergarten, my hair was ruthlessly hard to take care of with its half curly waves . Considering I didn't have this problem in my past life, I was too lazy to take care of my hair . Plus, if it became too bothersome I was planning to cut my hair .

However, when Luke grumbled about my untidy appearance, I gave the excuse that it was too bothersome . That's why I told him that if he doesn't like it, he could always brush it for me instead .

Ever since then, Luke was in charge of maintaining my unruly hair . When I passed him my hair brush, he started to brush my hair while I cleaned my face with a hot towel .

After he finished brushing, I put my uniform on that was sent to the dry cleaners yesterday to clean and iron .

And how long did it take to get out the door? Thirty minutes!

Knowing Luke, I was sure we were going to eat breakfast inside the hotel restaurant instead of a simple muffin or a piece of toast .

Isn't that his true intentions of waking me up this early? The full course meal made for breakfast would probably take about one hour to finish as usual . Sigh .

"Can I just skip breakfast and sleep for one more hour?" I pleaded before exiting the door .

Luke shook his head disappointingly while he directly escorted me out the door . As a result, I hung my head in despair while trying to maintain my manners at this high class restaurant .

While I was eating my food, I saw a dash of glittering ash brown hair from the corner of my eye . There would be no way she would be here, would she?

I drove my attention away from that table and focused on my food . Why did I get a feeling today would also be a long day?
