AIMANT'S POV

Hi, my name is Secret Aimant Adams, but people prefer to call me Aimant as it sound less weirder than my first name―which is Secret. Don't ask me, I didn't name myself. I never felt weird with my name, I find it pretty unique actually, don't you think so, too? But somehow, some other people did. Though I can understand them. Who would even want to hear someone say that their name's Secret? Like,

"Hi. Nice to meet you, what's your name?"

"Nice to meet you, too. The name's Secret by the way."

"Oh, you can tell me some other time, then."

See? Those types of conversations when you try to make some new friends.

Classes today ended pretty much quickly, it's as if it's trying not to make my day anymore infuriating. Which is just what I wanted since I'm pretty worn out from everything that happened in this hell hole.

And it's a good thing that all of my class every Monday ends at twelve in the noon, aka the lunch I'm waiting to have since I haven't had any food since yesterday because I just want to.

Gathering my things from the table, I went to the caféteria where there were very little students as the others have had lunch earlier than us. It's good for me, at least I don't have any classes later.

"So what should we get in this caféteria who serves an 'okay' food for today?" I asked myself in a sing-song voice while I make my way towards the line. "Let's just get some burger since that's easier to eat than that soup." I said and waited for my turn to order.

"Hello, what can I get you?" the lady in the counter said in a such cheerful voice, but her expression tells me otherwise. I mean, who would even want to serve kids who are rude as fuck and disrespect you all the time? All I know is that's not me. Uh-uh, never.

"Hi Clarisse," I said that made her turn to me and smile. "I'll just get a burger and a soda, thanks." I said and she proceeded to arrange my order in a tray.

Clarisse wasn't that old, just a few years older than me that makes me treat her as my older sister. Plus, I only have a troublemaker of a brother that doesn't even listen to me sometimes, but most of the times, he does.

It's hard to be the first born at times, too, you know.

"Here's your order," Clarisse said and pushed the tray towards me while I prepare my money to pay her. All of a sudden, she leaned in and whispered, "I saved some choco pie for you, people kinda like it today, so here." she said before pulling out a choco pie from below and slyly putting it in my tray.

"OMG, thank you!" I whisper-shouted back at Clarisse before handing her my money and leaving to find a seat. I happily hopped my ways towards a vacant seat, feeling my mood lift up because of Clarisse's choco pie. She's the best, I tell you.

Even if half of the foods here actually suck, half of their menus is also made by Clarisse that actually tastes like heaven which makes me buy food here. I only live for her food, especially after a very life-threatening exam, I always go to her to buy foods she cooked.
