     If there was one thing that Orion Mikaelson hate more than someone leaving their cereals in the milk for too long to the point where it becomes too mushy to eat, is someone who eats their cereal with any liquid other than milk, and Marietta Edgecomb was the queen of mixing weird combination to her food.

     Orion almost gagged when she saw Marietta pouring a glass of apple juice on her bowl of cereal with the biggest grin on her face while jolting her eyebrows up and down to Orion, she knew what she was doing to Orion.

     "Marietta, seriously, cut it out," Orion immediately put her silverware down, losing her appetite the moment Marietta poured her apple juice.

     "Do you want some?" Marietta passed the bowl to Orion's face who immediately scrunched her nose. "Don't knock it until you try it."

     "Marietta, at this point the only thing I'm going to knock is your bowl of crap," Orion said as she pushed Marietta's hand away from her.

     "Your loss," she laughed as she spooned her cereal to her mouth and Orion coughed immediately over the view, couldn't even voice how gross it was.

     "Orion, stop that," Cho immediately patted her back slowly while also rubbing it.

     "Tell Marietta to stop whatever is that," Orion rolled her eyes, taking a few sips of water to help swallow down her sandwich.

     "Let her be," Cho said softly. "You know how she is."

     "Honestly, Marietta, I'm on Orion's side, it's gross," Padma nudged her elbow to Marietta's right hand, causing her to spill some of her cereal.

     "You guys are bullying me over cereal," Marietta said, her tone was so dramatic that it made Padma and Orion once again roll their eyes.

     "Okay, okay," she surrendered, putting her cereal bowl aside as she looked at both Orion and Padma. "I'm going to be honest, it doesn't even taste good, I just like messing with you."

     Orion immediately widened her eyes when she heard Marietta's confession, kicking her foot jokingly from under the table.

     "Don't look immediately," Marietta said, her voice changed into a whisper immediately. "But, why is Hadria Shafiq kept looking at me?"

     Orion immediately frowned, furrowing her eyebrows as she immediately snapped her head to Marietta's left, looking at the direction of Hadria where he was sitting with his friends, and she was right, he was looking right at her–or maybe her direction?–but, Orion did not like it. She has been getting close with Hadria, and the idea of him getting close to her just because he wanted to get with Marietta boiled her blood.

     "Now he's smiling at me, why is he smiling at me?" Marietta said once again, she immediately smacked Orion's hand when she realised Orion was looking in their direction. "I said don't look!"

     "Sorry," Orion grinned while she smacked Marietta's hand. "Don't smack me."

     "Oh God," Marietta sighed immediately. "He broke up with Kim, right?" she immediately snapped her head to face Cho.

     "That's what I heard," Cho nodded softly.

     "Oh no, what if he wanted to ask me to the ball?" Marietta immediately put both her palms to cover her face.

     Orion did not like the idea of it.

     "I already said yes to Anthony," she grunted before she finally dropped her hands, looking to both Cho and Orion alternatively.
