I pulled off my heels and held myself from throwing them onto the ground with anger. These pointy things were the reason why I stumbled in the first place. I knew I should've stuck with those flats! Everything in my closet was hideously beautiful like fine works of art.
These heels were dangerous and who knew if the dress wasn't dangerous as well? I still struggled to breath from the tightly laced ribbons on the back. I did feel a little sorry towards those guests since I didn't mean to take it this far.
"These things are lethal weapons," I held the shoes in the air.
Nobody in the room muttered how almost all the girls perfectly wore high heels like it was an extension of them. Even Sienna was able to run in medium-sized heels with no problem. Although both of us did prefer running shoes.
"You intentionally broke the heels with your first fall and forgot about them when you actually wanted to get up," Luke pointed out my bad acting.
"Was my acting that bad?" I asked everyone in the room.
"Your pitiful acting skills is the minimum standard to attend this party," Delia scolded me for being reckless.
"What happens to that fraction?" I didn't know what fraction they represented.
"After today, their fraction comes under the influence of ours and your partner's fraction," Ben revealed the consequences.
"Then wouldn't that happen for Luke's fraction and ours too," I didn't mention my incidents with him.
"Nothing happens if it gets covered," Yulee shrugged.
Well that explained why they were so desperate to cover things. But maybe their fraction wasn't that powerful among the major ones anyways. I stood up to get ready to leave before Luke mentioned the problem about the drinks to everyone in the room.
When he was finished, I felt many accusing stares in the direction of Sienna and I from almost putting this fraction into jeopardy. Clearly this fraction thing wasn't for me. Couldn't I kick myself out of this fraction as well? I knew they wouldn't be heartless enough to throw away my collection out of courtesy.
"Can I kick myself out of this fraction?" I didn't want to get involved anymore.
"Once you join, you can't leave or it's considered as a betrayal," Luke sighed.
Well that was my first-time hearing about this. But would it be really a betrayal when I was only in it for a month? When I looked at the members for their answers, they agreed with Luke when they nodded their heads.
"Don't kick yourself out!" Sienna almost burst into tears again.
"It was both of our faults," she confessed while tightly holding both of my hands.
How would I explain it was too much effort to repeat something like this again? I would still hang out with her even if I wasn't in her fraction anymore. It was the same with Shelly and Ellen. Sienna was one of the most relatable people in the first district, which was how we quickly got close.
"I'll still hang out with you even if I leave. I would just rather sleep and enjoy my life more instead of being part of this whole politics thing," I tried to console her.
"I'm never joining another fraction again," I added when she remained silent.
"So you're not leaving?" Sienna concluded.
"Ummm. I am leaving, but I'm leaving this entire politics thing as well," I explained when Sienna didn't seem to understand.
"But there's no way you could leave being part of politics?" Sienna still seemed confused.
I turned to Luke to fill her in with a better explanation. It couldn't be that I wasn't able to leave this world behind. I was living fine without it until Lucius called me to a meeting in their mansion. However, Luke shook his head.
"You were always part of a fraction even though you weren't aware about it," Luke agreed with Sienna.
When I glanced at Ben for support, he eventually explained, "as long as you're engaged to Luke, you can't leave being part of politics in any form."
"But we're only engaged, not married. It's not fair I have to suffer with him!" I loudly complained.
I definitely wasn't going to attend more parties with Luke for the rest of my life. It didn't make sense for all the rules in the first district to apply to someone from the third district. Once I graduated from this whole point system, I planned to return to the third district with my engagement broken.
I would have a normal family where I would have normal obligations. I would no longer be bound to the many chains that withheld me from enjoying my life. Even though I didn't believe in my plans sometimes, it was assuring to at least have them.
"Your name is Rika de Roselia," Cillian pointed out.
"You mean Rika Shanes," I immediately refuted back.
No one seemed to believe me as my words emptied across the room. They all saw me as the fiancée of Luke who would be certainly married to him after this whole point system thing. It was tiring to be always associated with him. Once I came to my senses, I wondered why Yulee and Jules were here.
"Why are you guys here? Weren't you guys supposed to leave with the other guests since you're not a part of our fraction?" I blurted out my thoughts.
