Cindy strolled into the cafeteria, with Miki and Shizuko with her. They chirped on and on about their favorite stuff, music, people, whatever and whatever. Of course, they spoke of this person without fail. Rukawa.
Of course.
"Know what? Have you seen Rukawa Kaede?" Miki squealed happily. Cindy stared at her (¬___¬) and asked, "Who?"
"Rukawa! He's the super rookie of the Basketball team and he's really cool and really, really handsome!" shrieked Shizuko.
Cindy covered her ears in shock, "Ok, ok," She sighed, "No, I haven't seen him."
"Then come with us! Let's go to the gym." Miki stood, trying to drag Cindy off.
"Eh…" She stood very still and refused to budge.
"Maybe you will be able to catch him doing his famous dunk!" Shizuko grinned, dragging Cindy along as well.
"NO!" Cindy grabbed the pillar closest to her and yelped, "I need to eat and…stop dragging!"
"Ah, sorry, sorry," Miki released her and patted Cindy's hair, "You need to eat more!"
"Or the wind will blow you away!" Laughed Shizuko, "Let's get something to eat."
The three girls went off chatting happily, not realizing that everyone in the cafeteria was staring at them.
"I say, did you see?"
"Yes."
"That girl, she's the new girl in 1-7 right?"
"She…"
"She just…"
"She just hugged a pillar."

Cindy POV
Rukawa? Who? Never mind, food is of utmost importance to me. Ah, food, food, food, and here I come!
These food definitely looked more interesting than the food we have in the school canteen back in Singapore, I said they looked interesting, but whether the food is nice…[flashes knives and forks mentally] Let Mdm Kwek try~
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakuragi POV
There goes my stomach, rumbling like the ground works. The 10sai is in need of food. FOOD.
Haven't been to this stall yet, maybe I should try it out. I stepped into the queue and whistled while waiting. Someone tapped me on the shoulder, and I turned. No one.
A girlish voice demanded, "You jumped queue."
I looked down. Hey, isn't it the girl who called me carrot-top? I grinned, "Sorry," and went behind her.
She looked just the bit appeased before I added, "I didn't see you." It was pretty amazing, how her complexion turned from a pretty shade of ivory-white to pink, then to the color of my hair. Red.
"I…I'm not that short!" She squeaked, her face flushing crimson.
"I already apologized! Hey!" I glared back at her as hard as possible, trying to stifle my laughter, "You should be honored, you know, the Tensai never apologizes. But I am a good guy and have a soft spot for little girls."

Cindy POV
Little.
He just called me little girl. He is tired of living.
"You…" I searched for some really great expletives, "…You stupid big fat…uh…carrot top!" I screamed without thinking. The moment the word 'carrot' got out of my mouth I already regretted it, but the 'top' just came out on its own.
He stared at me, his mahogany eyes flashing, "You called me fat?" He pointed at himself incredulously, "Do you realize what you just said? You said that the well-built Tensai is fat. For goodness' sake, fat."
For the first time in my 15 years of miserable living I felt like digging a tunnel right through the canteen floor and escape like a mole. But. The school might charge me for damage to the tiles.
I stammered, "Ah…who cares." And turned back into the queue and realized it was my turn. I shrugged and bought myself a bowl of steaming noodles. Hey, that looked quite a lot, I don't think I would be able to finish even a half of that.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakuragi POV
Hehe, just cute. Just so cute. This girl is really interesting, but the Tensai have better things to do than stay here to banter with this new girl. Haruko-chan is probably at the gym already. So…four bowls of noodles for me and off I go. Actually I was thinking of having another bowl, but alas, I don't have the time to finish them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cindy POV
To my terror, okay, maybe not terror, the word is…dismay. To my dismay, I realize I really could not finish the noodles. What possessed me to buy the noodles anyway? I don't eat anything during break even back in Singapore. I stared at the bowl of dough…eh…noodles and wondered what alternatives are there to dumping the noodles and wasting all of that. Maybe I can try stuffing the noodles down my stomach, but I'll probably choke and throw everything out. Besides, only my friend Fang can manage the feat of 'stuffing' and 'force-feeding' herself. I can't.
Help.
Think, Cindy, think of all the poor children starving in the famines in Africa. They are famine victims, and you are not going to waste this bowl of noodles.
I looked up.
Carrot top was sitting two tables away and he was talking very loudly to his friends while gobbling the noodles down like…like…a hog. I screwed up my nose in revulsion. Ugh, this is so disgusting, the way he was practically slobbering over the poor bowls of noodles. With a loud wham, he placed the bowl down and announced that he was done, and he looked /very/ proud of himself.
What was the big deal about finishing four bowls of noodles in a row? I can do that too, but I'm not a hog.
With refreshed determination I went back to working on the noodles.
