Felix | Anyone else | Girl

Felix navigated his way around Trinity Hall, longingly gazing at all the food that was set out on tables but he wouldn't let himself nibble on a Pickled Onion and Chicken wrap or sip on an Iced Cinnamon Dolce Latte. He had a mission. A mission to find out who the girl was - and to try her food. However, he had signed up to register all the competitors for the contest and had to make his way over to Room 4 before it had even begun.

After minutes (that felt like hours) of staring at the food and a truck load of self-control, Felix entered Room 4 and made his way over to Nadiah, one of the organisers of the event and a judge.

"Hey, Felix! You came!" she said as she spotted him.

"Yeah, I know. I'm surprised too. How could you not tell me that I would pass through the place of my dreams?"

"A place full of people?"

"Food! A place full of food! It was never on the job description!"

"Ah, right. I'll keep that in mind for next year. Anyway, enjoy yourself and don't fall into a food coma. But, before we begin, I would like you to sit here and register all the contestants and their dishes. It's pretty simple. Can you do it?"

"Do I get to eat the good stuff in the end?"

"Yes."

"Alright, I'm in!"

"Thanks a lot! I'll see you during the competition. Bye!"

"Bye!"

After half an hour or so, people started to walk in holding their food. They began to register and Felix had a fanboy episode over a bunch of cookies shaped like Doctor Who objects like the Sonic Screwdriver and TARDIS.

During all of this, Alana had walked in and was watching Felix in the corner with a small grin, playing on the corners of her mouth and once the owner of the cookies walked away, looking immensely proud of themselves, she walked over to him with a man in tow.

"You are way more hilarious than I remember," she said as Felix looked up.

"Yeah, I'm hardcore about my Doctor Who."

"Haha. George, I can see this happening!" she squealed, referring to the man in tow. "This is George and he's my moral support! Anyway, you know the drill : I'm Alana Keats and I'm entering my.... chocolate orange soufflé with a hint of cinnamon!"

"Yeah, that's done! Go forth into the land of food!" he half-yelled, almost facepalming himself in the process.

They thanked him and walked off, talking about folding-in as Felix felt slightly confused. Why didn't she enter her food-around-the-world flavoured sweets and why did she not recognise him?

But, before he could continue, he was interrupted by the loud clunk of a plate on the table followed by an embarrassed 'Sorry'.

"Hi, am I late? I think I'm late. I accidentally got sidetracked by this lady who was selling some flowers 'for the children' and because I wasn't listening and absent-mindedly accidentally moved out  to her and held the flower, I had to end up paying her because it was awkward and ugh. I lost fifty pence and now I'm dying from the awkwardness and stupidity." she waffled and Felix couldn't help but slightly open his mouth in surprise.

"Anyway, here I am. I'm entering my Around the World flavoured bonbons and oh, I'm Carrie Johannes-Mei."

Felix was usually a socially awkward human being, especially around her but he didn't know what made him reply.

"Sure thing, Bonbon."

And he watched her almond eyes widen slightly as her pink full lips parted.

He had met her and she was Bonbon.
