25 Teaching for the First Time

I finished off the class quite easily. This was nothing compared to the presentations I had to do during class in the first district so this was relatively easy.

"As expected from someone from the first district!" A student whispered.

"I think she's better than our actual math teacher." Another student said.

"And she seems so elegant that I can't imagine we're the same age!" Another student complimented.

"Rika!"

I turned back to see the student that bought me the precious junk food that I barely got to eat.

"I'm sorry for the food that I bought, I never thought you'd get in trouble for it." The student guilty said.

When I saw the attendance sheet, I discovered his name was Adrian.

"Well it's no big deal. Stuff like that happens all the time. Sorry for getting you in a weird situation Adrian."

"Then I'll get going to my next class now! See you tomorrow!" Adrian said while faintly blushing.

I went to the podium to pick up my teaching materials after greeting Adrian while I spotted a group of girls shyly coming up to me.

"I'm not sure if I could ask but are you close with the other teacher that came to this school with you?" A girl asked.

"I'm not sure if we're close but I think we're always together in school as classmates." I answered back carefully.

It's not like I could tell them that we were living in the same room at school.

"It's just that you seem soo lucky Rika because you seem close to him! He's so good looking and seems very dreamy." Another girl confessed.

"His gleaming silver hair and ocean blue eyes just draws you in with his cold looks." Another girl added.

I knew that Luke was good looking but his overwhelming strictness sunk my positive opinions of him. However, I did know that he'd be popular among other people who didn't know how he was really like.

"Can you arrange a time for us to meet Luke personally? We're actually fans of his," A girl boldly said.

Wow. He wasn't even in the school for one day but he already had a fan club.

"I'm not so sure about that. But I'm sure you'll get the chance to get close to him in school since he'll be offering help as a chemistry teacher."

All of the sudden, I saw Luke coming towards the classroom to come pick me up. "Rika, we have to get going to our hotel to check in now."

I wasn't sure if I was hallucinating or not but I felt a menacing glare from one girl in the group when Luke came over while ignoring the girls around me.

"I'll get going soon. Just wait until I pack up my stuff!" I replied back.

"I'm sorry we'll have to end our conversation here." I said to the group of girls.

I packed up my stuff in a hurry and ran to Luke that was standing in front of the door to avoid the weird situation I was in with those group of girls that looked like they were spellbound by his looks.

"So, our deal?" I asked.

"I'll order it for you inside the hotel," Luke answered back while sighing.

"Ok, but I feel that with this mission, we'll be able to accumulate points quite easily so you don't have be uptight about almost every single thing."

Luke seemed to disagree and I could sense that his nagging was about to start again.

Sob. Why can't I go back home instead of a hotel since I was in the third district anyways!

I was feeling exhausted after Luke's strong lecture in the limo. I guess it was kind of my fault when I could sense he would start nagging when I mentioned that he didn't have to be uptight about everything.

Maybe I wasn't thinking properly at that time.

When we entered the large skyscraper like building, I knew this was one of the most luxurious hotels in the third district. I guess the school was really treating us well during this mission in order to keep up their reputation.

Luke and I were escorted onto the 80th floor to a suite with two separate bedrooms and a living room.

It was similar to how our room was at school except it wasn't so technologically advanced and that there was only one bathroom.

There wasn't much to do inside the hotel as I already finished making my teaching plan inside the office. Since I was in the third district anyways, I decided to go outside the hotel for sightseeing and shopping before dinner.

I opened my storage box to change my clothes with what I have bought from the shopping mall in the summer.

A bright yellow dress with white flats would be great for this evening as it wouldn't stand out from the crowd in this warmer than usual weather.

When I was about to open the door to exit the room, Luke came out of his shower drenched with his bathrobe on.

I hoped that he didn't notice me as I silently turned the doorknob.

The door silently creaked as I opened the door which earned the gaze of Luke when he was about to go to his room.

I wondered why the door would be this noisy when it was obviously a high-class hotel. I was disappointed in the hotel's amenities compared to its reputation.

"Where are you going?" Luke turned his gaze towards me.

"Sightseeing and shopping since we have free time before dinner anyways." I replied back honesty.

At this rate, I didn't even bother lying since I knew Luke would figure out the truth anyways in no time.

"Wait for me. I'll go shopping with you." Luke said with a threatening glare that hinted to not leave without him.

Whenever Luke approved of me doing something I wanted to do, it was usually what I didn't expect to do.

When we were in the fourth grade together, I said that I wanted to go sightseeing in the free time that we had during our field trip in the first district.

Luke surprisingly agreed with going sightseeing, but it wasn't what I expected.

I expected to look through the famous places in the area we were in like the newly opened amusement park or pretty technologically innovated buildings while eating at normal restaurants along the way. However, when I went sightseeing with Luke, he escorted me into a fancy hover car and got a guide to explain the famous parts of the first district instead of actually walking through those places.

For dinner, we ended up eating out at a famous five-star restaurant with the most exquisite gastronomic food while wearing fancy uncomfortable clothes.

I could say that even though the food tasted good, it was pretty tense to always watch my manners while eating.

In the end, it was pretty disappointing to go anywhere with Luke since those kinds of scenarios kept on repeating over and over again in our field trips in the first district.

I waited for Luke to change his clothes as I hoped things would be different this time since we were in the third district now.

Luke came out of his room wearing famous well-known brands in casual wear as expected. I was pretty sure that each one of his clothes like the white sweater he was wearing was easily over five thousand dollars.

When he went shopping with me in the summer where the average person shops, he easily brought me the most expensive clothing in each store without even looking at the price tag.

Anyways, we both walked to the elevator as Luke pressed on the button that was the 81st floor. I thought we would go outside for sightseeing and shopping but this was unexpected.

From what I knew, the 81st floor was the top floor in this hotel.

When the elevator doors opened, I knew from looking that it was a shopping mall for the premium class inside the hotel.

So, this is what Luke meant by shopping.
