So what if I fall in love with a wolf girl? (A Seton Academy Fanfiction)

Chapter 2: The (cooking) gang is back together!

"Yes, I would never," JIn confirmed.

Closing her eyes, Ranka turned and slowly walked away as her head drooped downwards, her ears for the first time that day becoming floppy.

The pavement started to get stained with a few of her tears as they rolled down her cheeks and onto the ground.

Sighing, Jin turned and started to make his way to the cafeteria, trying not to look back.

It hurt him that he had to see Ranka in this state, but she had grown too fond of him and he needed to set up clear boundaries.

"Besides," he thought to himself as he walked along the path, guided by the scent of food growing stronger the closer he got to his destination. "I did make it clear that I would never date an animal for years and she still didn't get the message. I needed to be harsh on her for her to understand it. But still....."

"Jin? Is that you?" Looking around, he noticed that he had made it to the cafeteria quicker than he had anticipated.

More importantly to him, he noticed that standing a few feet away from him was the one individual he was trying to see all this time, Hitomi Hino.

One of the very few humans that he ever saw and the only one that he had ever felt an attraction to.

Smiling, he waved to here and approached her. "Yes, it's me Hitomi!" He yelled out as the pair got closer.

He noticed that she was carrying a tray piled with food, human food.

Unlike the private academy that they had attended before, this school was more accommodating to its minority student population and apparently had many different choices for foods that people like Jin and Hitomi could eat and enjoy.

"Not raw leaves or raw meat, real human food. Perfect." He thought to himself as they both sat down next to each other on a cafeteria table.

They began to talk about each other, asking how they enjoyed their summer, which programs they were going into and what teachers they were going to have this semester.

Jin explained that he managed to find a part-time job on the university campus as a gym receptionist to earn a bit of money while he had some free time.

"That's great," Hitomi had said. "But will you have enough time to be able to lead the cooking club?"

"To be honest, I don't think we need the cooking club to be set up here," Jin replied, surprising Hitomi.

"But why?", Hitomi wondered. "He loves to cook for us and hang out with us, doesn't he?"

"Yes, I do still like to cook for you and the others," Jin followed up, reading the concern on her face.

"But I think that it would be too big if we added more people, making it harder to manage and more expensive to get the food. Plus, there are already cooking clubs here, and the administrators didn't want too many clubs of the same topic to be made."

"It's all fine," Jin continued. "We can still meet up at my place to cook and hang out, we can find other things to do."

"God this is so good!" He thought as he took a bite of her meatloaf.

It was fluffy with a delicate meaty flavor, with enough garlic in the sauce to leave a pleasant aftertaste in the mouth for a brief moment.

"Then how about a club on the history of food!" Hitomi exclaimed. "We can talk about old dishes that we found and make them appreciate history in a culinary manner! That way it's not exactly the same thing!"
