Kendra's POV
It's Wednesday afternoon and it's lunch. Mrs. Smith lost hers for the fourth time. She truly have to stop ordering food from outside the campus. Usually the security guards found it but today is their dayoff. Guess who's been send to seek ma'am's lunch. Me. 😩 Oh why?! Why?! WHY?! Graah!!! I'm straining on objecting it and she just disagree. I'm forced on doing this. I asked if she can simply go buy another yet she specified that she don't have to waste what she already bought. Yeah right. As I was about to go, Mrs. Grace noted me to work with someone since I cannot do this alone. "Dude, I'm way better working alone." I thought. It's true though. I'm a loner after all. And she don't care.

"How 'bout you work with Ruby Zaltafom?" Eh? Who the hell is that? I can't serve with somebody I do not know. Abruptly, I can sense breathing behind my back. Looking over, a red-haired pigtailed girl has her hand placed on my shoulder. Her expression is a bit scary cuz she seemed serious.

"I'm Ruby." she bluttered .....okay...... 😓

Throughout the halls, she's been sprinting all over with her magnifying glass. At least I'm just roaming, letting her do all the work. We're done with the 1st floor, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. We're in the 5th floor where came the vermin. What now?

"Whatcha doin?" Halia chirped. Then pointing at Ruby who's walking towards us. "And who's that?"

R: "Uh... My name's Ruby. We're classmates since 4th grade."
H: "...Oh...Ruby...yes. Hello."

"Seriously, who's this?" She mumbled at my ear. Why the heck are you asking me for crying out loud?!!!

"I have no idea!" I hissed.

"It's fine." R interrupted, turning around. "I liked being unknown."

The red-haired lady resumed on looking for the packed lunch of our teacher. Halia told me to search the last floor so she'll try to comfort Jane (R's second name). I listened because I wanna go to the roof anyway. Heh. Good luck for that, H.

About to went out when I saw someone there. I thought of sneaking through. I can't familiarize the person cuz he's wearing his hoodie. Yup. The person is a male.

*4 min. later*

I'm bored. I'll just walk up to him.

"Excuse me, mister." With that he didn't respond. Is he deaf like Halia? "Hello?..."

Likewise, nothing. A short glance at his side (he still didn't see me) and I caught sight of his earphones. I guess I'm turning blind. I tapped his back allowing him to face at me and taking one of his earphones. Oh it's my emo bud.

"Kendra? What are you doing here?" Dale uttered.

Me: "I'm asking you the same thing. Bet you're upset."
D: "Ya could say that. I'm tired of being an emo."
Me: "Make friends then! It's not tiring to have people on your side."

Oops... Did I just said that? Dang it. Friendship is ruling me.

D: "It is true that you have buddies."
Me: "Meh. Hey. What's inside there?"

I pointed at the plastic bag next to him.

"Must've been someone's lunch." That caught me. "I found it by the gate. I was about to deliver it to the principal's office after I take a taste of the small breeze."

"I might know who owns it." I spoke.

I retrieved Madam's special packed chop seuy. No wonder she don't wanna buy a different food. Halia helped Ruby out but her seriousness is still what I'm avoiding. Dale became one of us and Halia cheered. Forgot to mention that Mrs. Smith is surprised of how I did the lunch mission a success by myself. Told you I'm better working alone

Oops... Updated it too early.😛
