Hello again, fellow readers, writers, and those who are bored! I am back and writing better again! Yay! It was mostly due to writers block, confusion on which point of view it should be, and overall no idea what to write. I am very sorry. However, last chapter was MUCH better and LONG. I was really happy with that turnout. Anyway, lets get on with the story, shall we?

Chapter 3: Lunch Battle

Briiiiiing!

Brittany lifted her sleeping head at the sound of the bell. She looked around. People were already packing their stuff from Prof. Kafei's class. She hastily packed hers too, making sure that she brought everything with her. She stood, and with everyone else, walked out of the class.

"You were sleeping again." Victoria said to her. Brittany glared at her, but it had no effect.

"Yeah. So?" Brittany replied.

"...Nothing." Victoria answered solemnly. She checked her schedule, and Brittany gave it a peek as well.

Lunch. The one thing that made her come to school.

"Finally!" Brittany exclaimed, already smelling the rich, academy food served outside. When Victoria and Brittany opened the doors, they were instantly hit with the almost gourmet smell of the food. Not always did students enjoy such delicacies.

"Smells wonderful! I wonder how it actually tastes." Victoria commented, taking a whiff of the smells of the seasoned foods and desserts. However, she noticed that Brittany was already in the line. She sweatdropped, but eventually went after her.

"Come on! Such a long line..." Brittany complained. Victoria smirked, knowing exactly how she felt.

"Hey girls!"

Brittany and Victoria turned to the voice calling out to them. It was Green. He ran over to us, waving his hand to us. The rest of the group was also following Green, shouting for him to wait up.

"'Sup, Green?" Brittany asked, waving to him. Green smiled, allowing Grace and the others to trail behind him.

However, Grace did not look so pleased.

"What seems to be the matter, Grace?" Victoria asked. Grace sighed, obviously not wanting to tell her now. Victoria understood, dropping the subject and looking forward. She then saw Brittany piling food onto her tray. She noticed it was her turn, so she grabbed a tray and followed her friend.

Soon, after they got their lunches, they looked for a seat. Which was extremely difficult. They seemed to be separated in cliques: The jocks, the popular people, the nerds and geeks, and many other groups. Finally, they found an empty table.

"Lets sit there!" Shadow suggested, pointing to the empty table. They all followed him there, seating themselves. However, Grace did not seem so comfortable sitting next to Green.

"Grace." Victoria whispered. Grace's emerald eyes were lain upon Victoria, giving her full attention. "Come with me. I want to know what's bothering you."

Grace nodded, following her to the corner of the lunchroom. Victoria turned around, facing the green eyed girl. "What is going on? I want to know, and don't leave anything out."

Grace's face saddened, remembering what happened during the second break period. She sighed... then explained what happened.

"Hey Green." Grace said. She walked up to him during the second break they had. He turned to her, waving to her as well.

"Hey." He said. Grace smiled at him, happy as ever to be around him. Since, of course, she did have a slight crush on him.

"Hey Greenie~!" A voice was heard. 'Oh Nayru, not her...' Grace thought to herself. It was Zelda... again.

"Uh, hey Zelda." Green responded. Zelda hugged him, but he didn't hug her back. Then, she turned to face Grace.

"Umm, why are you still here?" Zelda asked. Green looked at her, shocked that she would say that. Grace was really upset, but she did not respond.

"Because she's my friend." Green responded, somewhat angry. However, Zelda ignored him. She smiled at Grace, then pulled her in to get to her ear.

"Get out of here. He's mine." Zelda whispered into her ear. Grace glared at her, but then left the area. But she did not leave entirely. Instead, she stayed at a corner, watching them.

"Now that we're alone..." Zelda said, twirling her blonde hair. Green's face turned pink again, but before he could say anything...

...They had already begun kissing.

Grace gasped softly, feeling as if a knife had just stabbed her in the heart. She felt tears well up, and then she ran off. She didn't want to deal with it anymore.

Victoria did not budge, nor did her facade. She understood why Grace felt this way, but if it was her, she wouldn't have reacted in such a way.

Maybe because she was much stronger than her in that way. She had suffered more, of course.

"...Sorry." Grace said. Victoria shook her head, understanding how Grace felt.

"It wasn't your fault. Green was angry, wasn't he?" Victoria asked. Grace nodded, putting gears into place. "And you didn't see what happened after, no?" Grace shook her head, and the gears began to turn slowly. "So, do you think Green wanted to get kissed by her?" Grace shook her head, more gears. "So..."

"...Does it mean he likes...?" Grace began, but Victoria knew what she was going to say. However, Victoria shrugged.

"I may be intelligent, but I cannot read minds." Victoria said. She did know someone who could, however. But that would be dealt with later.

"Hey!" Victoria and Grace turned. They saw Green running over, his face concerned. "Why are you two standing here alone? Come join us!"

Victoria looked at Grace, smirking. She walked back calmly to the table. However, Green extended his hand to Grace. Grace turned a small shade of pink, but took it anyway. Green grasped it firmly, feeling her hand's softness under his hand. He led her back to the table, not noticing her flushing face.

"Look who's back. What were you doing over there?" Blue asked. Grace looked at Victoria, who nodded to her. Grace nodded back, then turned her head back to Blue.

"Nothing." Grace answered. She then proceeded to eat her food, tasting the savory goodness of the high quality food. The others had started, but were not too far... Most of them, at least.

"Ugh, I can't eat another bite..." Rosie muttered, rubbing her full tummy. It had been only a few minutes after Victoria's and Grace's return to the table. Rosie's tray was empty, but her stomach was the complete opposite of that. She didn't look sick, but she did look like she couldn't eat anymore or else she would explode. Red was in the same condition.

"Then don't." Brittany commented, continuing to eat what little she had left on her tray. Surprisingly, due to the amount of hunger she said she was in earlier, she had eaten everything with a slow pace.

"Yeah." Blue agreed, doing the same.

Soon, they all heard footsteps coming towards them. Lo' and behold, Zelda had arrived again. However, she was angry.

"Hi Zelda." Red said, waving to her. However, she paid no attention to him. She hid something behind her back.

Victoria watched her closely, watching her edge towards Grace slowly. Soon, she could see what was behind her back.

A bowl full of burning hot soup.

"Grace!" Victoria warned, sitting up. Grace turned her head to Victoria, and saw her pointing behind her. She turned behind her, and her eyes went wide when she saw Zelda.

"Boo." Zelda said. She poured the entire bowl of hot soup on Grace. She gasped loudly, standing up abruptly.

"W-What the hell?-!" Grace gasped. Green stood up as well, running to get paper towels. The people around turned, and the whole lunchroom quieted. Even the lunchroom chefs were interested. Of course, for some reason, no staff was present.

"That's what you get for stealing my man." Zelda said. She threw the porcelain bowl at Grace, landing a hit right in the center of her forehead. When it made contact, some shards flew around, scraping Grace's hands and legs. Her skirt, shirt, tie, and blazer were covered in boiling soup. Even her hair was not spared.

"Grace!" Victoria shouted. She caught her from falling, and examined her head. One huge, bulging bump was found bleeding on her forehead. People around the area seemed to be... cheering. It was sick.

"I-Is she...?" Green asked as he rushed over. He felt his face get boiling hot with anger, and he turned his face to Zelda. "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?-!" He exclaimed.

However, Zelda didn't react. She just shot a glare at him, Grace, and Victoria. Then, she left, heading back to her table. When she got there, some people high-fived her, congratulated her, even told her to do something worse.

"Those sick f-" Blue was cut off by Green.

"We have to take her to the nurse, now!" Green said. The others nodded, following him to the nurse's office. Blue and Green both carried Grace, while Shadow led them through the crowding people. Once they made it out of the lunch room, they rushed down the hallways into the nurse's office.

"Mrs. Anju! We are in need of your assistance!" Vio said. The nurse, Mrs. Anju, turned. She gasped, absolutely horrified of the sight in front of her.

"I'll do what I can, I am only a nurse." Mrs. Anju said. She ushered Grace onto a bed, beginning her treatments for burns and a badly bumped head.

"...You guys can go to next period. I'll wait here." Green said. The others hesitated, but nodded, leaving the area. Victoria paused, looking back at them. However, she smiled, knowing that Grace would be fine afterward. She continued on, putting herself next to Vio.

For a few minutes, Green waited in the nurse's office. He began to get worried... Until Mrs. Anju came out of the room.

"She's fine. You didn't have to wait here, you know." Mrs. Anju said. Green smiled, nodding.

"I didn't. But I wanted to. It was sorta my fault..." Green said.

"You did this?" Mrs. Anju asked, appalled. Green shook his head, then began to "explain" what happened.

"Someone spilled hot soup on her when she was tying her shoes, and then the bowl fell and hit her really hard." Green said. Mrs. Anju hesitated... But then let it go. She left the area, doing some paperwork in the other room.

"Green? Why'd you wait for me?" Grace asked, walking out of the area. She was given a new blazer, skirt, shirt, and tie. However, her cute bow wasn't to be replaced.

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay." Green said. Grace turned slightly pink, but smiled in response.

"T-Thanks." Grace responded, rubbing the back of her head lightly. She smiled.

"Lets get to class." Green said, walking with her to her class. She smiled again, following him.

When they eventually got there, Green stopped in front of her, turning to face her. Grace looked at him, wondering what he was gonna do.

"Before we leave... I just wanna say something." Green said, his face pink again. Grace's face matched his, but what happened next made her face turn bright red.

Green gave her a soft, small, and short kiss on the cheek. He then walked off to his class, leaving her in shock. She had her mouth agape, her hand over her cheek.

"...I'll never wash this cheek again..." Grace muttered to herself, walking to her classroom.

Third chapter and already fluffy? What are you doing?-! Well, I'm doing what I want, that's what. Yeah, already fluffy. Anyway, that's one off the list. But I won't let their fluffiness end. Not now, not ever. And it will just get better from there. But for now, I need sleep. Where I am, it's, like, 1:57 AM or something. I need to check. Anyway, I hope you liked the chapter! I bid you awesome people adieu!
