Statera *Chosen At Birth*

Chapter Fifty-One

    When Sydney opened the door, they were all greeted by the warm scents of chicken and spices. Daniel's stomach growled painfully for the first time. Kristen turned around after hearing the savage sound and then laughed. Perfectly cleaned and tidy, there were three long tables attached to both sides of the shop with a walkway through the middle. Each table had a booth that easily sat three in each booth. With the three girls on one side and the two boys on the other, they slid into the booth.

    "It smells heavenly in here." Sydney sighed taking a giant whiff of the aromatic air.

    "What can I get y'all to drink?" All three of the girls blushed to see a tall handsome man with short spiked hair, too bad David wasn't here.

    "Wait what?" Sydney asked before the three of them looked down at a small drink menu that was already on the table.

    "I'll have a blue raspberry cream soda." Daniel stated.

    "Orange cream soda." Arthur answered looking at Kristen as she eyed the menu and just sighed.

    "I'll just have a water." She said eventually giving up.

    "Make that three." Bestienna added with a nod from Sydney.

    "Alright coming right up." He snapped a finger and then the menus got larger with more pages inside with pictures of exotics soups. There was a few samples from almost every nationality on earth that Daniel would have known. Sydney and Kristen he wasn't too sure. When he walked off all three of them looked over the top of the booth and watched as he disappeared into the kitchen.   

    "Do you think he works out?" Kristen asked, Arthur rolled his eyes.

    "Who cares?" Arthur asked, Daniel scoffed a laugh before the three of them snapped their heads to look at him.

    "What's so funny?" Sydney asked and the two boys got tense for a moment.

    "Nothing." They both answered in unison.

    "Good." Sydney replied.

    "So how do you two know Isabel?" Arthur asked, seemingly more towards Kristen but Daniel couldn't be sure.

    "All three of us met in the Atlantic City Magic Academy or A.C.M.A for short. I knew Kristen longer then Isabel though. We didn't meet her until our fifth year?" Sydney asked looking at Kristen, who confirmed.

    "Sydney met her first and kind of incorporated her into the group. I and Isabel didn't really get close until our second to last year at the academy." Kristen stated as the waiter placed the drinks on the table as two round black trays floated on either side of him.

    "So what did you do at the academy?" Arthur asked Kristen, trying to keep her from looking at the waiter.

    "What's your name?" Sydney asked him and then he blushed, when everyone looked at. Arthur gave him a glare. Daniel tried to hide the grin that attempted to show on his face so he just engrossed himself in the menu again.

    "Abenr." He replied. Arthur looked down at his menu uninterested, umm are you ready to order or do you need a moment." He asked.

    "Oh shit. I haven't even looked." Bestienna quickly grabbed the menu off the table.

    "I'll take that as you need a moment." He laughed before walking away, "I'll be back." Arthur mocked him behind his menu causing Daniel to snort with laughter almost spitting his drink all over Bestienna.

    "Boy I swear. You spit on me we're going outside." Daniel tried not to laugh at the threat, but he looked at Arthur again and couldn't help but laugh, "What is wrong with you two?" Bestienna tried to look at them seriously containing her own urge to laugh.
