{Chapter 1}

Jeremy grinned, the food on his plate piled up in a mountain in front of him.

“Food, food, food,” he chanted, anticipating the food.

“Food, food, food,” Tim chanted joining him at the empty table Jeremy sat at. He placed his food in the exact same orientation as Jeremy. “I can't believe you still copy me, even the way you put your plate,” he shook his head, his pale green eyes flicking between the two plates. 

Jeremy smiled before stuffing his mouth with a chicken wing. His well muscled arms flexing as he cut through his abnormally large steak. 

“God, you're like an animal.”

“You two are still not meant to be in here! Will I have to bring Terrace's rolling pin out and beat it into you two,” Jane stepped out from behind the pillar, her skin still pale yet a tone of health lit up her cheeks.

“My rolling pin is not to be used for beating naughty children...” She stopped, an eerie grin spreading across her face. “That's is what my wooden spoon is for,” she revealed it from behind her back, brandishing it like a sword.

“I've finished my food. I'll go right now,” Jeremy said after he demolished his food and ate every last grain of rice.

“I haven't even finished half of mine,” Tim complained, looking down at his half eaten food which was in a much smaller portion then Jeremy's.

Jeremy stood up, revealing his height as he towered over the two woman who complained about where he ate. He took small steps, before snatching his plate and loading it up again with yet another mountain of food and running out of the cafeteria.

“Jeremy!” The two screeched at him, throwing objects at the door.

“I'm out of the cafeteria,” he shouted back, stuffing his face with more food as he ran.

His running slowed to a brisk walk, his face still stuffed with another mouthful of food.

“You stole food again?,” Rex asked, stepping out of a classroom filled with rowdy teens.

Jeremy smiled, pushing his plate of food towards him, “What do you think?”

“Dormitory?”

“I was kicked out of the cafeteria.”

He sighed, looking down at the large stack of books he carried, “Fine.”

Rex was was shorter then Jeremy, his head only reaching the end of Jeremy's nose. Still quite a height for someone who only just turned 18. His skin was more tanned, his black hair in a much neater state, combed back to some extent; parts of his fringe falling in front of his glasses. His muscles bulged, his extremely fit body hidden under the layers of formal teacher's clothing he wore. Their friendship since birth had accustomed Rex to Jeremy's behaviour, now even Rex couldn't hold anything against him for steal food.

“Hey, you. Bring this back to the cafeteria,” Jeremy said, yanking the arm of one of the students racing out of his classroom.

“What? Why the hell should I.”

Jeremy grinned, his emerald green eyes flashing to a pure black distorted star, a gust of wind filled the halls. A black mist surrounding the three before disappearing with his next blink. The student faltered, his head quickly lowering.

 “Yes of course,” he snatched the empty plate from Jeremy's hands,running off down the hallway towards the large oak wood door. Constantly swinging open and shut with students entering and leaving the cafeteria.
