Keep Me Warm

02

I gently closed my locker carefully not making anymore damages that I've done. We then went to Hugo's locker. I leaned next to his locker while he picked up his music sheets and math notebook. My eyes traveled to all the other students who were making their way to the dining hall. I looked at a group of girls who was pressed up against somebody's locker and a really tall guy was there, Darius Madeira.

Darius Madeira was one of the top good looking students at our school. He's currently the team captain of our swim team. He's also part of the top 10 intellectual students in the academy ranking at 7.

Hugo nudged me with his elbow bringing me back to what I was doing. He looked over to what I was staring at and the corner of his lips pulled upwards.

"Darius huh? He can almost do anything and that guy has it all. He doesn't need to ask anything, everything is given to him already" he said while staring at the Filipino boy.

"Hugo, don't assume things. Its not like I'm going to associate with him or something. Come on let's go get some good lunch. I didn't eat anything for breakfast"

I held onto Hugo's hand and guided our way to the dining hall. As we entered the hall, the five star gourmet food made my mouth water. We got into line with all the other students and my eyes gazed at all the varieties of food they were serving.

After getting our lunch we walked towards to our table since freshman year. It was located next to the 30ft window that gave us a scenery of the sea and all the other buildings in Manhattan. We put our food down first and I pulled out the red velvet cushion chair.

I stared at my delicious plate which consisted of a seasoned smoked juicy salmon, four perfect sliced cheese and ham triangular sandwiches on the side, and some carrot and chicken egg rolls. I grabbed my metal chopsticks and began eating the food.

I looked over at Hugo's plate and we both had completely different palates. He had jajangmyeon, black bean noodles, as his main plate. In a separate bowl he had creamy clam chowder. Next to the clam chowder he had 6 pieces of sushi, 3 of them were ungai (eel) and the other 3 were tako (octopus).

I picked up the perfect sandwich delicately with the chopstick and stuffed it in my mouth. I moaned at the taste of food and glanced at Hugo when I heard slurping sounds.

I choked at my sandwich and quickly grabbed water to ease it down. I took my phone out from my Kensington LV bag and took a photo of Hugo.

"Oh gosh Hugo you're such a mess" as I showed him the photo I took. He had black sauce all over his mouth and some on his collar.

He quickly took out his red handkerchief from his uniform pocket and lightly dabbed his face. He did the same with the collar he had sauce on.

"Geez Venice, a growing boy needs his food, I don't care what I look like, I'm happiest when I'm eating" he mumbled while he still had noodles in his mouth.

We then heard a loud clatter fifteen feet away from us. The whole hall was dead silent, the forks and spoons making contact with the plate stopped. We looked over to what the source that made the annoying sound stopped.

An Asian guy stood in the middle with his hand occupied with food. He turned around and horror replaced my smile. Many gasps were heard throughout the hall. The Asian guy turned out to be Seiji Minamoto. Seiji had a thing for bags, he collected all different types from spending up to $90k and as low as $2k. His perfectly soft hair and his $5000 Armand backpack was covered in tomato sauce. His expression held no emotion whatsoever and its been like that since he was a freshman.

He gently put down the tray he was holding at his table which was occupied with all the higher social ranking people. Seiji removed his bag and a brunette girl, who I think it was Briar, took it.

Seiji then put his arm around the poor boy's neck and walked towards the exit.

I kept my eyes glued at the perfect ruin bag. Having the same bag as his and his looking like that made me uncomfortable. Thinking of what could happen to the poor boy gave me shivers all over my body.

I then looked up and I was met with intense green eyes that was staring right back at me.
