My Bothersome Life 22 A New Side Of Allan 2

He grabbed my hand and pulled me to the field behind the cla.s.sroom while the others were still packing their stuff. "I know that you don't care if you miss cla.s.s or get more minus points, but I care. It reflects back bad on me that I have a partner who misbehaves even though it's only for two weeks."

At this point, I knew I was being cruel to Allan, but I didn't care. I cared more about my freedom that I would even rarely get in the first place. "So what? So what you care? What are you going to do about it?" I asked.

"You weren't like this with Luke," Allan replied.

Gos.h.!.+ And I thought that Allan was the kind of person who liked to laze around with Ellen's constant complaints about him.

"Well if that's all you wanted to ask, I'm going back to the cla.s.sroom to finish packing up my stuff and go back to our room." (Rika)

Allan tightly grabbed onto my hand and asked, " What should I do to get you to at least attend cla.s.s?"

He kneeled down onto the floor while he started to beg, "I don't know why you're behaving this way, but please stop. I'll do anything to make you at least attend cla.s.s. I got really fl.u.s.tered this morning when you wouldn't wake up when I tried waking you up for almost an hour. So I attended cla.s.s alone to get asked by everyone where you were. If that wasn't enough, I got asked by every teacher who came into the room where you were and got scolded many times for not bringing you to cla.s.s. I'd be lying to say I wasn't upset about the -100 000 points, but as long you attend cla.s.s, I'll be willing to overlook that one blunder as the representative of the Krista family. So please at least attend cla.s.s!"

At this rate, he was threatening and begging me. After living for 16 years in my past life + almost 7 years my current life, I wasn't falling for his sweet words. I shook his hand off and went back to the cla.s.sroom to pack up my stuff, not giving Allan an answer.

When I was about to leave the cla.s.sroom, I got stopped by Ellen near the exit. "Aren't you being way too harsh Rika?"

"Nope. I'm helping you by letting Allan taste a bit of his own medicine," I replied.

"Rika~ You don't have to go this far for me though. Thanks for caring though." (Ellen)

Well, I wasn't doing this for her, but for me. However, I couldn't say it like that so I framed it differently.

"No, Ellen you're way too nice! I'll just do this for a couple of more days and I'll stop!" (Rika)

Ellen reluctantly got out of my way with a concerned looking face while I started to walk towards my room.

When I got to my room to finish reading the rest of my light novel, I wondered why it wasn't so fun anymore. The plot didn't seem to be going anywhere while the junk food that I was eating started to lose its taste. This was when I heard some voices outside the door, "I saw Allan still kneeling outside at that field even though it's been over four hours!" One voice said.

"That long? When I saw him outside, only two hours has pa.s.sed!" Another voice whispered.

"I wondered what happened." The first voice answered back.

Maybe it was the book that was boring, I tried to convince myself. I switched to another book, while I heard someone knocking on the door.

I learned that in kindergarten that no one could open the door to the room if the owner of the room wasn't the pair itself. So it meant the person that was knocking on the door, wasn't Allan.

I ignored the knocking until I heard Luke's voice, "I know that you're inside Rika. Let me in or you won't know what will happen to you next month."

I ignored Luke's threats as I flipped another page in the light novel. I wondered if this book was boring as well, as I began to pick up a new book.

One book later, I began to get thirsty. So I opened the door to get myself some water from the well. Unfortunately, when I opened the door, I saw the angry face of Luke.

I quickly tried to close the door when I saw his face, but Luke already barged into the room. "What were you thinking Rika?" Luke asked angrily while grabbing onto my shoulders.

"Nothing much." I replied back.

I started to shrink back as I saw myself reflected back from Luke's genuinely stormy ocean blue eyes.
