The Raven's POV-Chapter 25: FOOD FIGHT!
"I said get up, this seat is mine", said a boy loudly, standing in front of the table of the chubby boy
"i dont want to"
"Do you have any idea who we are? You trash"
"Dont you think we should help?", Ariel elbowed Rowayne
"he looks fine", Rowayne continued "look he is calm, what do you think shen?"
She( female form) turned her head to see
Shen asleep.
"How did he fall asleep in like 2 seconds?"
Ariel shrugged.
"Fine, but gimme that donut", she points at Ariel’s plate
"ok...."
"lets see, the watches, red, blue , green, yellow, ours is yellow, red is for incursus, blue’s Custodia and green’s omnitas,
The table slams is red, the girl who sat before is green, and blues are gathering
around like vultures,
Safe to assume everyone’s in on it or atleast they arrived at a mutual conclusion to route out the weak, that means us
Following that Rowayne took out a pen from her pocket, "here take it, on my signal throw it on shen, from the front, remember that’s the important bit"
Rowayne however did not get a chance to interfere in the ongoing shuffle as luck would have it.
The screaming girl (i never told you her name, probably never will) from the bus, walked up to the group
And started spewing curses at the wannabe bullies (haven’t actually bullied the fat one yet, were trying to)
’Am I witnessing a redemption arc’, Rowayne wondered to herself
But what about my perfect plan, Rowayne asked quietly to no one
When she was the commotion she had no plans of interfering but after Ariel’s jab, she looked at sleeping face of shen and thought
’A food fight would have been nice’
The quiet kid has joined the verbal fight as the students of class A-R witnessed the redemption of screaming girl, whose first impression screamed entitlement(to best service available) , demand (mostly whining) and racism( against common workers)
Into a someone akin to a hot headed freedom fighter
But that was not Rowayne’s concern as she focused on the donut resting on her fingers the curses and background noise faded into obscurity
The world turned white, and only she and the donut existed in that moment, then she heard a voice, her innermost thoughts surfacing
As single melodic voice whispering, "do it"
The cruel yet sweet temptation of the voice started overtaking as she searched into her inner depths for a voice of reason, just to realize that.... She didn’t have one
So she obeyed, the world appeared to be slowing down as she threw the donut to the nearest green
It was no tactical decision, but an impulsive one, the girl’s face looked every slap worthy in Rowayne’s eyes
Rowayne turned towards the kitchen and said
"Grenn, A baguette please, IT’S AN EMERGENCY"
Grenn, a kitchen staff who has been working in the castle for 16 years, didn’t have time to comprehend
As his hands were already in action, a skill honed through serving countless rush hours, a practice that is now engraved in his bones, Even if called asleep, He shall throw
A hidden talent, now exploited by Rowayne
As Rowayne caught the baguette, He rushed towards the nearest blue, to throw hands (well, breads)
Meanwhile the girl wearing the green watch was hit in the back of her head by the donut, she did not know who, but the humiliation and rage made her move
And she threw her plate full of food towards the front to vent
That sent up a chain reaction.
The food fight has begun.
Rowayne fought her way towards the vending machine wielding the bread as a sword
Rowayne looked back at Ariel and said,"now"
On his signal she threw the pen at shen,
Who promptly caught but his expression told that he was not happy about it
But he didn’t have time to express it with words as he was hit with a piece of pie, he could not dodge a pie with single hand
Rowayne fought her way to the vending machine and chose soda as a victor’s reward,though it cost credits, it was worth it she reassured herself
Back at the surveillance room, Ben, a guard looked at Han, another guard
"Do you want to report them, or do I?
"I don’t want to write report all day about who threw what food"
"but someone has to do it"
Han looked around and asked, "where did the chief go?"
"he went to smoke, said they wouldnt fight on the first day"
Han looked at the screen and muttered, "right"
Then his gaze focused on the screen, one of the camera, showed the image of a girl holding a tray, the tray had pastas arranged neatly
They spelled– Music?
Han and Ben looked at each other and shrugged
Back in the cafeteria,
Rowayne threw away the plate at music started playing through the speakers
With soda can in one hand, she danced through the chaos, dodging clumsily, and throughout it all, there was a satisfied smile on her face
She got up on the table, making herself a prime target, threw the can at the head of a nearby boy,his house didn’t matter to her now, it was just about the feels
The can flew back, she opened it, letting the carbonated drink fly out, as she bowed towards the incoming professors
All while smiling
