Lasagna was on the main course for today's lunch. Alder set out plates with everyone's name on them, except the plate labelled "Wayne" was purposely and blatantly empty.
This was Wayne's last day in the Training Caves. He was getting expelled today. His wasteful behavior was the last straw.
Alder rang the lunch bell, letting it ring throughout the entire cave system, before disappearing back into the kitchen to eat his own share.

Runt wasn't even embarrassed by the laughter. She rolled over onto her back as Xia approached her, putting up the pinky finger in a derogatory gesture.
"You tiny disgrace!!" She purposely ignored the very obvious fact that Xia was taller. Her friend had even reminded her. Of course, Runt pretended that it wasn't true.
She pretended to dramatically die when Xia poked her with the trident. Runt rolled sideways off the slab of debris, rolling to a stop at the bottom, where she lay sprawled out idiotically. She couldn't play dead for long though. The laughter started and then it started to hurt to maintain this position. Runt scrambled to her feet, shaking her head like a dog shaking off water.
"Oh my god!!" She exclaimed as the lunch bell rang. "Give me all the food, Alder!!!"
The idiot sprinted forward, but collided with the lieutenant. "Whoops! I'm sorry mom!"

Parlando noted that Lawrence was somewhat irritated. Maybe she had been sleeping in the supply closet, which explained the silence. There wasn't many other possibilities. It was far too dark to read in there, far too cramped to shoot a bow. They must have woken her up.
"We just came out of the washroom. I remembered hearing somewhere, 'only girls go to the washroom in groups.' I don't think that's true," He chuckled. "I was telling the story of the moss lamp."
The bell rung for lunch, and Pearl kept up a calm face, even though he wanted to sprint down the hallway. The unappetizing scene with Wayne led to an unsatisfying breakfast. Although the pancakes were delicious, he would have enjoyed them more without the rude boy's behavior. Lunch was bound to be much better.
"Come on. I hope there's salad." He kept walking down the hall at the same pace.
