I happily hummed when I returned to my dorm room. My collections were finally safe and I had more space to hide some more purchases from Luke. I rolled around my bed, unable to contain my giggles from my plan to go shopping soon.
"You're back," I smiled at Luke who returned.
"What did you do this time Rika?" Luke frowned from my unusual happy face.
"Nothing," I forgave Luke today with my generous heart.
Social week was coming up a few months from now. The meeting before was to determine who would be the hosts to open up their houses this round. This only applied to the high school students since middle school students were only allowed to attend the events.
Attending social week without knowing the politics behind it made it a drag. But this time it would be different. I was part of what went on behind the actions from the decorations to the food served to guests in each house. Apparently, every aspect of the host house mattered because it would show the power and unity within the fraction.
It felt good of being tasked with something where people actually had trust in me to do well. I was in charge of experimenting with the drinks in the upcoming socialite party next week to test out our plans. I couldn't wait to go to the taste testing event with Sienna tomorrow. This time, I would be able to change into more comfortable clothes that Sienna promised to bring.
"By the way, I have plans tomorrow," I let Luke know I couldn't go to his usual study sessions.
Luke sighed before nonchalantly pulling out the tablet. He rescheduled the time he booked in the space-time rooms and didn't ask me any questions. I guessed this definitely meant he wasn't ever going to cancel. But, it did make sense as we needed to gather points to survive.
"I'll book the study room to early in the morning," Luke showed me the new time.
"You're not going to ask me why?" I questioned why Luke accepted this so easily.
"You're helping the neutral fraction prepare for their annual pre-party event."
Oh. Luke already knew the reason why. But, if the neutral party had these kinds of events, didn't his own fraction have something like this as well? Maybe that was why he knew why I was going out with Sienna since he was helping out with his own.
This was how I came to greet Sienna with a yawn from waking up earlier than usual. Sienna already held out a bag with some comfortable clothes to change into as I went into the bathroom. When I came out, I wore very short shorts that hugged my waist and a plain yellow t-shirt that dragged out to the sides. I smiled when I melted under the soft cushions inside the running shoes instead of the usual stiff heals.
Inside the bag was a bunch of glittering accessories that subtly decorated my previous outfit. The once almost empty bag appeared to be repugnantly big from the long dress and heels. The current style I wore was how I usually dressed in my past life. It was cheap, but flattering and didn't follow the trends.
Sienna had also toned down her outfit to somewhat match mine, but it was still semi-formal. She wore the same running shoes, but in a different colour with a flowery romper made of silk. Her hair was drizzled with daffodils that stood still inside her hair that made her overall outfit shine.
"Where are we going first?" I asked her.
"How about this place?" Sienna showed me a picture of a magical winery that also made nonalcoholic drinks.
We arrived deep inside a forest full of dazzling fruits I had never seen before. Round gr.a.p.es of golden blue interlinked with a bush filled with purple berries in a shape of a starfish. It resembled a garden with how the bushes were groomed to appear as hedges and flowers from the fruits populated the ground.
The fruits almost readied to be harvest was separated into a different section where it sparkled like gems. How did they even make drinks here? I could find no traces of a facility where wildlife was maintained to keep up appearances.
"Welcome," the owner of the winery slightly bowed.
"How can we serve you today?" He studied our clothes.
"I am Sienna Auclair Clarence and this is-"
I elbowed Sienna before she could reveal I was engaged to Luke, "Her classmate, Rika."
"We came to sample some drinks to see if they are suited to be served in our upcoming event," I rambled on.
"I see," He plastered his face with a polite smile as he assumed I was her servant.
"Please come this way," He led us inside a modest house.
The entire house was dedicated to researchers in a lab coat that mixed the juice of the fruits into small test tubes and beakers. It resembled a lab rather than a winery with all its sophisticated machines and big screens with graphs and data on top of each bench. The workers paid no attention to us as we were soon escorted to a room with the finished products.
In front of us were five glasses of drinks that glowed in bright neon colours. They fizzled near the top with tiny sprinkles that swirled inside the glass. I didn't remember drinking something last year.
