Ice shoved him with her shoulder.

_You're going to scare them, stop being so dramatic you gossip king!

_If I'm the king, you're the queen. Should we reign together? - He lifted an eyebrow to her.

_Please, just stop it. - She said, letting out a sigh.

When we were about to enter the dining hall, Waan stopped.

_Waan? - I called her, who seemed spaced out.

_Ah! I just remembered I was supposed to call my father, you guys go ahead and take the seats. - She turned away and left.

_Okay, now your true instruction will start. - Ford said. _I'll start with the food.

_Oh! I'm a buddhist, so I'll need to know about the best vegetarian options.

_You're truly amazing, you must be part of that one percent that are truly buddhists among all the fake ones like us. - He pointed to him and Ice.

_She must just be from a different line. - Ice complained to him. _I'm also truly a buddhist!

After that, they told me everything I needed to know about how to get the food - it was automatized, and we finally sat down.

_Where's Waan? - I asked even though they would know this less than me. I then sent a message to her, but got no reply.

"Maybe she's still on the phone with her father." But they weren't really talkative to each other.

_We should start digging! - Ford exclaimed looking at the food in front of him.

_Maybe I should go look for her. - I said standing up, but then I received a message.

You should eat first. I'll have something later.

_She's not coming. - I said sitting down again with my eyebrows frowned.

_You two seem really close. - Ice said before taking a sip of her juice.

_We're childhood friends. - I answered. _Our mothers were friends and it happened naturally.

Ice and Ford shared a glance at each other, but seemed to decide not to say anything.

_You can pass to her everything we tell you, anyway. - Ford said, leaning forward.

_Oh, yes! Please enlighten me. - I said with a smile.

_So now, your lesson about the social life of the kids of Alta Scientia is starting.

They started to discreetly point to people at the huge cafeteria and explain who they were and about the people in their courses. Ford then indicated a blonde girl and a few other girls that were with her.

_Tey're from the Business Administration. Now listen carefully Dara, we might joke a lot but this is serious. - Ice said. _Don't ever involve yourself with anyone from that department. Just keep your distance.

I gave the group they indicated just one more glance and then my eyes made the way back to Ford and Ice.

_Why? - I asked.

_Because of Naree. - Ford answered.

Ice shook her head.

_They're the heirs, they are from the richest and most influential families. And, of course, just as Ford said, because of Naree.

_Who's Naree? - I asked them while my eyes scanned throughout the dining hall .

_You're not gonna spot her here. She has her own room in the Business Administration Department building. She might be just a freshman like you, but she's certainly the most influential student here. Her family owns a conglomerate and she's the only heir. You certainly heard of them, the Adulyadej Group. And her aunt is the current President of the University. - Ford answered.
