Hi Guys! thanks for the reviews! I'm glad that you're liking my story!
Chapter 11
"So..the type of flour to make pasta is the double 0 flour. " Luna said reading a cookbook. "But it says here to use all purpose flour."
Luna and Isami managed to meet up in their class break, the two of them were sitting on the bench casually talking. Isami had been kind enough to lend Luna a cook book on basic Italian cooking. While Luna just told Isami a few ingredients that most latino's use in their cuisine.
"Yes, I personally like that flour because if the texture it gives, you can use the regular flour but if you can find that flour use it you'll know the difference."Isami explained
"Can you add anything in the pasta like changing the color?" Luna asked "I've been to a restaurant that had a ravioli with two colors on it."
"Yes, but you have to know the right ratio when making it, too much liquid than its no good." Isami said
Luna nodded her head listening to every word that he's saying. Isami kept explaining to Luna a few helpful tips after he was done Luna smiled.
There was just something in her smile that he couldn't explain it but he just want to keep seeing her smile like that.
"Thanks, Isami-kun."Luna said with a smile.
"You're welcome."Isami said. "If you want we can talk more after school."
Luna shook her head apologetically. "I can't Soma-kun invited me to meet some people in his dorm after school." Luna said "But we can hang out tomorrow."
"It's alright, tomorrow then."Isami said softly
"Great so don't forget!" Luna cheerfully said
After school….
When Soma invited Luna to the dorm everyone welcomed her in. She learned their names and some she recognized at a few classes. They even decided to throw a small party welcoming her since they haven't had a chance to do it sooner. Luna felt happy that they did this.
"Why do you guys decide to throw a party in my room?!" Marui exclaimed "Go have your party in some other room! "
"What choice do we have? Luna-chan have a seat." Yoshino said casually sitting on his bed patting the empty space. "You have the biggest room."
"Who said you two could sit there?!" Marui exclaimed
"Your room's always clean so it's perfect to throw a small party."Ryoko simply said "Here Luna have some." Ryoko poured some liquid into a cup handing it to Luna. "It's rice juice."
'Its cloudy.. I guess it's homemade.' Luna thought taking a sip being polite. 'There's just something that's been bugging me since i got to this school.'
"Guys, do you know anything about the Elite ten?" Luna asked
"You're the second person to ask that, since you're still new Marui will explain it."Yuki said
"Why me?!" He asked
"Quit whining, it's for the new girl."Ryoko simply said
"Fine." Marui said fixing his glasses. "The Elite ten is a committee composed of the top ten students within the academy. Students are allowed to decide many of the academy's affairs, a wide variety of issues are settled by the council. They are second to the directors and not even the instructors can disobey their decisions."
"So basically their the higher ups second in command to the one that owns the academy." Luna summed it up.
'Do that blond girl...Erina is part of that council, i wonder what do you have to do to be part of that Elite ten, if i get in that council will i find what i'm looking for there?' she thought glancing at her cup.
"Rosario Luna." An older student politely said Wearing a white shirt and light blue jeans, with a bear apron and white bandana. "Welcome to our dorm! Call me Isshiki -Senpai."
"Hi Senpai." Luna said taking his hand giving it a shake.
"It's so nice to have another person here, i do hope that you'll visit the dorm." Isshiki said
Hours later everyone's smiling and having a good time. Luna excused herself for a minute to use the bathroom. When she was done she walked back to a room.
'These guys are nice, Yuki is an expert at wild game i wonder if she won't mind if i ask her about a few questions about it.' Luna thought she opened the door and saw Isshiki wearing only apron.
"Pervertido Desgraciado!" Luna exclaimed freaking out and literally roundhouse kicked Isshiki. (Wicked pervert!)
Before Luna could do more the girls and a few of the guys had to hold her and explained that he always does that, She quickly apologized to Isshiki running to get some ice on his bruises.
Again apologizing to him, he shrugged it off and continued to have fun through the rest of the night, even asking Luna for a quick dance lesson.
"The way that you danced in your Shokugeki made me want to leap in and have fun too!" Isshiki beamed "Will you teach me?"
"Sure!" Luna said getting up from her comfy seat. "This is a very simple dance, it's all in the hips and following the beat. "
Luna showed Isshiki a few dance steps while a few of the polar star joined in laughing and having fun, some stumbled while others just added moves of their own.
Luna couldn't help but laugh and then her smile grew wide hearing one of her favorite songs on the radio that she started to sing along to it.
The party ended until very late in the night that there was no way Luna was going back home so she bunked with Yuki for the two girls talked about anything they could think off until they fell asleep. Luna smiled since it was the most fun she ever had.
A few days passed since then…
"Reo, I found this in my mailbox." Luna said shoeing Reo a blue booklet with a happy chef in the front. "Something about a camp."
"It's that time already…"Reo muttered. "All first years will go to the camp and we'll be tasked with grueling cooking projects. If you don't earn a passing grade...you'll be expelled."
"QUE?!" Luna shouted completely shocked at the news. (What?!) "What do you mean expelled?!"
"It's just like I said, this school is build to shape and mold students to be in the top if you can't handle it then you don't belong here."Reo explained "A handful of people are expelled every day if they don't qualify sometimes its half or more than half."
"More than half?" Luna muttered to herself feeling a dry lump form in her throat.
"Yes." Reo said he glanced at Luna.
'More than half? I don't want to get expelled...if i get expelled then...' Luna hooked her head trying to calm her nerves. 'I can't give up, i at least have to try!'
Luna felt a light pat on her back.
"Rosario-chan, don't worry." Reo said softly. "Just do your best to survive, I'll try my best too." He smiled.
'Reo…' Luna nodded her head and opened the blue book. 'We can take a few things with us but no video games..i can take my speakers and mp3 but no other devices.' She thought mentally reading the list. ' I won't back down! I won't give up! I just hope there's no surprises along the way..'
Days passed and it's the day they go to camp. Students were in line placing their belongings to the bus others were inside taking their seats.
Luna felt nervous the whole bus ride, she gripped her pendant trying to calm down. 'You just have to survive...just make sure you're not the first they kick out.' Luna thought.
All of the busses stopped when the students got off Luna's jaw dropped seeing all of the beautiful buildings and scenery.
"This is the camp." Reo said
"That's a camp?! It's a hotel!" Luna exclaimed
"It is, well be doing all of our task in there." Reo said "Let's drop our stuff then go to the assembly."
The two hurried to leave their stuff in the rooms going to the assembly room seeing a large crowd of students there waiting quietly.
"It's quiet...too quiet." Luna said softly
"Yes." Reo replied seeing the crowd.
"Hey Luna-chan!" A voice shouted
Luna turned her head seeing a very relaxed Soma waving at her, her eyes shifted seeing Ikumi there next to him with the rest of the polar star students .
'He's so relaxed.' Luna thought waving at him.
"Good morning students! I will now give a summary of the camp."
There Luna learned that they'll be staying for almost a week in the camp giving daily cooking tasks. Those who give a low review in the instructors evaluation will fail.
"We've also invited guests. They're Totsuki alumni who have graciously agreed to join us, despite their busy schedule."
Luna just stared at the handful of adults walking towards the stage. One of them, a man with glasses and light cherry blossom hair pointed at the crowd.
"Hmm, you over there." He spoke." Nine rows back, the boy with a scar on his eyebrow."
'Soma? What does he want with him?' She thought
"My bad, i mean the boy next to him." He said "You can go home, you're expelled."
"What?!" The boy said
"Your shampoo has a citrus aroma, it interferes with aroma of food." He explained "We do need to pay attention to our sense of style. If the chefs have no sense of style , their dishes will lose appeal. But you should choose an unscented hair product from now on."
"H-he just got expelled for that?!" Luna squeaked
"Just for that you'll lose customers." He said then gave out a very scary and intimidating persona. "Are you trying to destroy my restaurant?"
He turned and switched back to a friendly vibe. Luna felt her legs slightly shaking. But remained firm secretly glad that she always uses unscented shampoo.
"Who's that guy?" Luna asked Reo.
"He's Chef Shinomiya. And there's Head chef Sekimori! Those people are featured in magazines!" Reo said in awe seeing all of the Chefs.
"Wow...these guys are a big deal." Luna muttered.
"An Exotic beauty. " a voice said
Luna turned her head seeing a tall blonde with dark blue eyes giving her a charming smile.
"He's Donato Gotoda of the Auberge, Tesoro!" Reo said
"You maybe be the reason for my Existence." he muttered firmly taking Luna's hands. "Why don't we talk through the night till dawn at my auberge?"
"Uh? Wait what? Que te pasa contigo? Yo no voy pa ningun lado contigo! estas loco?!" Luna spoke up. (What's wrong with you?! I'm not going anywhere with you! Are you crazy?!)
"Chef Gotoda, let go of her hand." Kojiro said "You've already tried that on the other girl."
"Kojiro, you have to admit that she's an Exotic beauty!" Gotoda said
"Let's go, there's no time to waste."Kojiro said he glanced at Luna for a second.
After the assembly the large crowd were split off into small groups.
'I can do this...i can survive this...i can't forget why i'm here.' Luna thought. 'I just have to make it..'
