"Whispers of the Enchanted Forest: Rita's Mysterious Odyssey"

Chapter 7

The kitchen area of the cafeteria was an impressive and bustling space. It was well-lit with warm, inviting lighting that created a cozy atmosphere despite its size. The kitchen was equipped with stainless steel appliances that gleamed under the bright lights. It had an open design, allowing students to catch glimpses of the chefs and kitchen staff at work.

The large, spacious kitchen had multiple stations, each dedicated to a different type of cuisine. There was a dedicated area for grilling and frying, complete with sizzling pans and griddles. Another section was designated for baking, where ovens and a variety of baked goods were prepared. In the center of the kitchen, there was a massive island with a sleek marble countertop, where chefs were busy chopping, slicing, and preparing ingredients.

The aroma of delicious food wafted through the air, making your stomach rumble with hunger. It was a well-organized and efficient kitchen, designed to cater to the diverse tastes and appetites of the students at the school.

It was 8 o'clock in the night and Rachel, Anika and Alexa took me to the cafeteria while Dominic was in a meeting with the principal. "I'll go buy dinner. What do you guys want?" Ask Rachel.

"I'll take lamb meat please." Alexa uttered.

"Just bring me some seeds please." Replied Anika.

"And you you?" She looked at me.

"Um.. a veggie burger please.." i stated with an awkward smile,

"Okay, be right back." Rachel walked away.

As Rachel headed off to order dinner, Anika, Alexa, and you waited in the cafeteria. The bustling cafeteria atmosphere continued around you, with students chatting, enjoying their meals, and creating a lively ambiance. Tables were filled with groups of friends, and the aroma of various dishes wafted through the air.

You found yourself feeling grateful for the company of your new friends. Anika's request for seeds piqued your curiosity, and you wondered if there were any special dietary preferences or reasons behind her choice. Alexa's choice of lamb meat seemed more conventional, but you were intrigued by the different tastes and preferences of your fellow students.

As you sat there, you reflected on the events of the day. It had been a whirlwind of introductions, surprises, and kindness from the people you had met so far. While you were still adjusting to this new and unfamiliar environment, the camaraderie of your newfound friends made you feel a bit more at ease, like you were slowly finding your place in this extraordinary school.

Sitting at the table with Anika and Alexa, you couldn't help but feel a mix of anxiety and gratitude. The cafeteria was indeed filled with students, each engrossed in their own conversations and meals. While you initially felt like you were under the spotlight, you soon realized that most of the students were wrapped up in their own world, paying little attention to newcomers.

The warmth of Anika and Alexa's gestures, holding your hand, provided you with a sense of comfort in this unfamiliar environment. It was as if they were silently reassuring you that you weren't alone and that they were there to support you. Alexa's gentle smile spoke volumes, conveying a message of friendship and understanding.

As you awaited Rachel's return with your food, you began to appreciate the bonds forming with your new friends, recognizing that their kindness was helping you navigate the challenges of your first day at the school.

"So.. what's your favorite hobby you?" Alexa intergate me.

"UM.. I like to read? I'm not sure I don't have a hobby." Alexa gasped.

"You poor dear." Alexa hugged me tightly. "Don't worry, mommy is here, mommy will help you find a hobby."

"When did you become my mother?" I asked nicely.
