The group study session that we held with Inna continued with two other ones so far.
We learned a lot from Inna's tutoring, and my worry about the group might bring a burden to her was faded away by the overall energy of those sessions.
We would compete with each other, Inna would rank us every session and quiz us and then tell us about the questions and important details that we should focus on before giving us a homework for the next time.
One accidental occured, when Amira was being smoggy when she became higher ranked than Faiyza, causing the latter to strangle her abruptly and us breaking them up. Inna took it as a bad did from her side and erased the ranking system.
After the third study group session, once me the girls finished and were heading out, i realized that I'm not having a solo time with Inna like before, that was the most important thing to me and Inna too, so the best solution i thought of was asking her for a free day to hangout.
Inna's response was a smile, a smile that you could see even through the low lightning of the library.
"About that, did you think i was okay with our sessions turning into a study group instead of the agreed deal?"
I was kind of shocked from that statement, it turned out she wasn't just ignoring that fact.
"... Of-f course not, This is just temporary, after the exams, im going to be all yours."
"Yeah, i didn't think so... But it's alright, i didn't mind it at all, because i wasn't doing all this work just for the goodness of my heart..."
"...Huh?"
Inna approched slowly and slowly.
"Come closer Runy and listen to this."
And that's what i did.
"Remember the surprise i told you last time when we were at Kaas' house..."
"... Ah! You mean the house invite?"
Inna nodded.
"I actually thought about for a long time, way before we started studying together, i was waiting for a proper time and now, i think that time has come."
As a huge of news as it was, i still couldn't get a certain fact out of my head.
"...but what about your family, I'm sure your mom still hates me right?"
But Inna seemed to be not bothered at all.
"Oh, this not just an invite to the family house, this an invite to the real house."
I thought on my own for a while.
"Oh... The real house."
And then i finally grasped what just happened.
"No.... You not serious..."
this was one of those moments that describing it with words wouldn't do it justice.
....
Getting an invite to the Jueji's old household does a lot to a person, through the Jann¹ families history, it was a custom for a family member to invite people to that house, which meant that the family wants to further their relationship with that person, but recently, it became more about getting integrated with common people and the potential friends of the family who are kept close for their much needed services in the future.
The house is also used as a get away for family members who are at risk of getting disowned, maybe disowned is a stretch for those cases, it's just wealthy people problems which are hard for me to understand.
I couldn't take the news lightly, i was so happy i didn't even bother thinking what was her reason for giving such an invite to someone like me.
Inna continued explaining while i was still processing, acting like it was nothing to be excited about.
"... If you decided to come, I'll be expecting you this sunday, i got a word that the house would be empty so i took the opportunity reserved it for myself."
"HUH!? You have no idea how excited I am!"
For what it takes, i couldn't control myself, seeing her act all calm, i couldn't help it but jump on and give her an embracing hug, wrapping around her small frame and messing up her hair.
"YES, YES, YEEESSSSS."
"Ugh..."
Before giving her one big sloppy kiss.
"MMMMUAHHH"
That's when i realized she was getting flustered and uncomfortable. I was doing too much for someone like Inna who acts with decency and elegance.
"...hehe, this is the best news I've heard in a while, that why i... Thanks a lot Inna, i can't wait to see you next time!"
I left Inna with a wide smile on my face, that smile was hiding an excitement that i was struggling to hold in.
Outside school i catched up to the girls, they were all waiting for me.
"Hey Ruby, we just wanted to say, thanks a lot for setting these courses up with Inna, we are so grateful for you, we wouldn't know what we would do without you."
Faizya was nodding while Amira was talking.
"How sweet of you guys, that means a lot to me..."
Little did i know, they were setting something up.
"And to really show grateful we are, we're planning to have fun tonight, all of us like we used to, and Faiyza is promising to cover the expeses."
I stopped doing these nightouts for a while, i stopped since it's contradicts my path to better myself.
"Absolutely no-"
On second thought, i think it's best to take things slowly, like a little fun wouldn't hurt, plus desired to do this for a really long time.
"... I know you guys are going to use me... Fine, I'll accompany you."
"Really!! Oh Ruby, if you could only see how sexy you look right, please have my baby..."
We were departed on those high spirits, and i was left with Haime, who had somewhere to go, during our walk she told how she felt something different about me.
"... You look odd after you returned, did Inna tell you?"
"Yes, and my mind is still processing what happened, Inna told she's going to invite to her house."
"Huh! But she-"
"To the Jueji old household."
"HUH!"
"That right!"
Haime was searching for the words to say.
"Under what criteria did you get that invite, only people with high status can get in that house."
"Inna got a word that the house would be empty on Sunday, so i guess there would be no problems."
"They got cameras all over the place, they have maids working twenty four seven... Something shady is going on, or you're just lucky I can't tell."
You can't disregard a Jann household invite as a normal thing, that would speed up your way into understanding the elite class. And that's what i was doing.
"I should be scared, but i feel like with Inna I'm going to be fine, plus it just a visit, I'll not gonna do anything extra."
"Plus Haime, instead of getting me all worried, you should be informing me about what'll happen there, help me figure out how to act and present myself, your family knows this stuff right?..."
"You thinking of me too highly... You know, i know... Just go there with the costume, if you wanna live the tradition."
At our departing point, we dismissed each other and went our seprate ways, making the sun seem like it's cutting through our bodies.
