My Bothersome Life 93 Social Week 4

Luke attempted to look composed as he walked elegantly to where I stood.

"How about you join me and my friends?" Luke stiffly smiled.

"No, I'm really-"

"Rika Roselia Shanes." Luke interrupted me with a great frown.

Seeing that Luke was really angry, I followed him to where his group of friends stood.

"Yes, she must be truly exceptional." Another friend of Luke commented when he noticed I wasn't wearing any shoes.

Luke looked absolutely speechless as Alex tried to cover for Luke, "Where are your shoes Rika?"

I pointed to the shoes I abandoned in front of a empty chair near the entrance of the bright ballroom.

"Why don't you get Rika's shoes?" Alex suggested to Luke to give him time to collect himself while getting my shoes back when I stood there unmoving from my spot.

"I'm honored to finally meet the most rumored person at our school," One of Luke's friend greeted me.

"Are we in the same grade?" I asked him as part of a formality.

"I'm in the other cla.s.s. I am known as Cillian de Auclair." Cillian introduced himself.

Cillian looked like the typical elite of the first district wearing a fancy navy blue tuxedo that matched his azure blue eyes and blond hair.

"I'm sure it's due to the small cla.s.ses in our school," I replied back nonchalantly.

"It's just that you're the leader of series of unapprehended incidents since the founding of our school," Another friend of Luke added.

"My name is Henry de Blanc," Henry introduced himself.

Henry appeared just as good-looking as Luke and Alex. His piercing emerald eyes indicated he knew exactly what he was talking about while wearing a confident midnight black tuxedo that matched his straight jet-black hair.

"Here's your shoes Rika," Luke handed me my dress shoes.

Instead of putting my shoes back on, I put them on a chair that was right behind where we stood.

"I'm not going to put them on until I leave the banquet anyways," I quietly mumbled for Luke to hear.

Unfortunately, it looked like all of Luke's friends had good hearing as their eyes widened from surprise.

"Are you sure Rika?" Alex indirectly threatened me with his sudden bright smile.

I nodded as this was the one thing I wasn't going to give up on.

"Are you really sure?" Alex asked me again with irritation clearly present in his voice this time while Luke was almost becoming speechless again.

"Yup," I confidently answered as Cillian and Henry desperately tried to hold their laughter in.

I had two more hours to spend at this event. I wasn't going to torture myself in shoes I knew I couldn't walk in.

My presence here was clearly not helping Luke as Alex talked for Luke while he clearly seemed dismayed.

"Since it seems my presence is not required anymore, I'll head toward the dessert table." I tried to escape from Luke's group of friends.

Luke suddenly grabbed my wrist, "No, your presence is still required here."

'Meaning, don't you leave my sight,' I thought.

"Yes, we have been wanting to meet you for a quite a long time." Henry added.

"We have heard about you from my school as well," Another person joined in.

"My school as well!" Another person walked up to us.

"You mean the incident of how Charles and I accidentally entered the sixth district?" I asked to see how up to date they were.

"No, I meant how you were the first student in our circle to skip cla.s.s." The person replied while looking astonished from my question.

It looked like even Cillian and Henry didn't know as they stopped smiling from shock.

Luke stiffly smiled as he pretended to not hear anything while Alex started to look in another direction.

"It was a joke?" I tried to fix my blunder.

However, it was clear that none of Luke's friends believed me as they already seen the reaction of Alex and Luke to my 'joke'.

"Where are your partners?" I asked to attempt to switch to another topic.

"Out in the terrace," Cillian answered.

"Then I'll go join them," I suggested to Luke.

"No, it's about time we go to the next event that's scheduled for us." Luke tried to excuse himself from his group of friends.

"I thought we were supposed to stay here for another hour from looking at the original schedule," I whispered to Luke while I still walked barefoot.

"We're going to the next event earlier than planned," Luke waited for our hover car to come down.

Once we were inside the hover car that was on its route to our next event, Luke started his lecture.

"I know you never attended these events before, but I thought you would know the proper ettiquette of the first district now," Luke grabbed my shoulders.

I did know the proper ettiquette of the first district, but I couldn't possibly perform them in those shoes!

"You try wearing these shoes!" I complained to Luke as I pointed to the heels in the dress shoes.

Luke sighed when we were near the next mansion that was grander than the previous event we went to.

Unexpectedly, Luke tore off the heels on the bottom of the dress shoes. "Is this good enough?"

I tried on the dress shoes again to see that it was much better than before, "Yea..."
