What If

Chapter 3

What the heck am I doing here?

“Guess lets go find it out, eh.” I said to myself. I took the said uniform with me and find my way to the bath. “Whether where the heck am I, I am not going out without changing.” I whispered so again. And there I found it.

Room so wide, I don’t know what to expect of the bathroom, but certainly not this.

This one too luxurious for me. It was almost twice a wide as my room at home. The heck with this? And, if I thought these stuffs only exists because people want them, there is a bathtub here, almost like a pool shaped like a huge sun flower, floating and already filled with water- is that water? It doesn’t look clear to me. But, if it is not, I am sure whatever that is good for the skin’s health. There are even rose petals! Who do they think I am?!

I ignored that. I’d love to indulge but really, not now. Maybe later, when I am still here, I would. But now, I would really rather go and explore the this place.

It took me a moment to find where to open the shower and when I did, I took a quick one. There was a towel lying at the side and I took that to dry myself up and wrap my hair on whilst as I am changing. Since I have no other clothing as far as I remember, I wore the uniform.

It wasn’t as extravagant as everything in this room, but still in the colors of gold, white, and blue and it really depends to the student whether they will wear a skirt or a pants.For this days rendezvous, I’m wearing a skirt. Because why not? This one looks cute on me. The skirt ain’t that short nor too long, it sits just an inc above the knee. The inner part of it is in the color white, like a cloud, and the outer layer is in gold. The upper portion of the uniform, however, is in the very light shade of blue that is lined with gold all around the edges. It is a long sleeved blouse, but they still provide a matching coat long enough to reach the back of my knee, one also in white that is lined with gold. They seem to hate colors here. I’m pretty sure I did not write it this way… Was I even able to write it?

The only distinction of what year or rank you are would have been the ribbons you wear like a tie on top of the uniform itself. Mine’s white. Practically meaning that I am at my very first year in studying my own magical attributes. It wasn’t a surprise, thought. Unlike the whole entirety of this dream.

Overall, the uniform is cute. I look like a doll, considering this long black hair of mine and a bangs that is clearly there to hide my eyes.

I took a deep breath and moved out of the bathroom. It also took me a whole thirty seconds to be able to figure out the exit of this room. And the scene that greeted me, I should say, is something worth of royal recognition.

"Chandelier?? Are they serious??" Like, come on now, this must be a joke! Well, unless it is actual royalties, like prince and princesses are the ones actually staying in this particular floor.

“Hi-” A voice suddenly emerged from somewhere on my side.

"AAAHH---SHETS!" I shouted, voice unrestrained as I almost fell myself off the flight of stairs, could have been if only for the fact that the source of the voice managed to have a grip of my wrist first. “What the heavens?” Annoyed, I shouted again turning my head to look at the man who just spoke.

“Sorry…Didn’t mean to startle you…” He apologized, clearly sounding as much startled as I am. “I am Wade, one of your dorm mates.” He said, introducing himself whilst as extending his hand to shake probably mine. “And I am guessing you are Mika?” He said the moment I took his hand.

I nodded my head. That’s right. We each have a copy of whom are we staying with for the year, or possibly the whole time we are to spend in this university.

“Where are you going?” He asked the moment our hands lost contact.

“Just taking a walk outside. Figured it is better to wear the uniform than a civilian outfit if I am going to have an appearance inside the uni, don’t you think?”

“Want me to joint you? I’d think I can rather give you a tour if you’re good with it.” He offered. It took me about a minute to consider his offer, and I agreed in the end because why not? He’s offering! Do not know a single place to which I could actually visit at this point.

“I would gladly accept that offer.” I answered. That is when my stomach basically begged me for something.

I stared at him as embarrassed as one could be. He was laughing softly at the moment and I want nothing more but to disappear, really. But what is there to be shameful of? I am hungry! And that is pretty normal, I think. “But… would you mind to join me for breakfast first? I really am famished.” I asked, considering maybe he knows and he can treat me for food since they look like they own as much to feed the whole entire Agewertia.

“Come, I’ll cook for you.” He said and started walking. I just followed him and did not ask a question because well! He offered! Who am I to reject that?

But…

“You can cook?” I asked, clearly uncertain. Who wouldn't? Ain’t it a common part of being a royalty? To have people to do things for you so you do not need to learn to do it for yourself?

“Yes, of course.” He said and breathed in. “It’s one of my hobbies, actually. I loved playing with the ingredients as they are.” He answered. And he sounded so sad at that, so I did not question again. It took us about a minute to reach the kitchen of the dormitory. And I did nothing but to look around in awe of just how beautiful this place is.

It is the type of a dormitory that looked more like a mini castle with all the wall details and the large curtains and the windows and the furniture! Like, who even is capable of cleaning something as large as this one? And, really, it looked like I could place our humble house here seven times and still have spaces for a whole garage.

“Mika?” He called after a moment that we are inside the kitchen. He walked towards the refrigerator and opened it. And now, he seemed to be looking for something. Ingredients for a meal, I so hope so.

“Hmm?”

“What do you want to eat?” He asked. His head still peaking inside the refrigerator’s door. I shrugged.

“Anything, really. You are the one preparing, why don’t you give me your specialty?” I answered. Maybe a little bit embarrassed but still, I am in a dream, what should I feel embarrassed with when I am waking up any moment now?

“Eh, fair point.” He’d said and I saw him shrug his shoulders too. “Well then! Why don’t you sit there and make yourself comfortable? Food will be ready in half an hour.” He said and ushered me in one of the chairs in front of the table here.
