Hungry anyone?

[monica]

A boy with deep maroon eyes and black spiky haired entered the cafeteria. He sigh he could finally take a break and get some food into his empty stomach. The day has been rough but he'd get used to it. It was only his second week in school and so far it was going quite smoothly.

Cairo got in the long line of students who were ready to get some food. He really should just go out to eat but he didn't exactly know his was around Riverside so he wouldn't take his chance and get lost.

He was glad that the line had started moving a bit faster then before.
There were only eight people in front of him , he glance at the food they were serving and grinned . They were serving pepperoni pizza, one of his favorite foods. When it was his turn he reach for the pizza.

Roxann moved her long hair to one side as she waited in the long line at the cafeteria. Her stomach growled as she thought about what might be for lunch today. She was hopping for the thing she liked to call mystery meat. She only called it that because it was this strange fried patty thing that tasted like turkey, but no one really knew what it was. It usually came with mashed potatoes and gravy and everything usually tasted surprisingly amazing.

Her stomach growling a second time the line finally started moving and she could see what they were having. She sighed, "Pizza." She said out loud in a sad, disappointed voice. Today wasn't her best of days she had already tripped a couple times and one of the times was over her own foot. She had always thought the pizza at their school wasn't very good. "I guess it could be worse." She said quietly continually talking to her self ... again. She covered her mouth realizing she probably sounded crazy talking to her self and hopped no one herd her. She blushed as she looked around making sure no one was paying attention. Then someone further in the line yelled at her and she realized she was holding up the line. "Oops." She continued filling the empty space in front of her.

Once he had everything on his tray he started to walk way.
Until he heard someone yell out , he turn to look behind him only to see that a girl around his age was holding up the line. He let out a chuckle and shook his head, she must have been day dreaming. He shrugged and walked away not wanting to hold up the line either.

He spotted a place to sit , it was just close enough to the windows and he could see just how perfect it was outside. It was a bit warm for spring , but he didn't mind at all it meant not staying inside the house all day because of the horrible whether they recently had.

Cairo picked up his pizza and took a decent bite out of it and started to chew.
After lunch he had gym and seeing how warm it was meant that they were going outside.
He just hoped it doesn't rain, he really couldn't stand the rain.

[Melanie]

Getting her pizza she grabbed a chocolate milk really fast making sure she didn't hold up any lines this time. Now she only had to make it to a table with out falling on her face by simply tripping over her own feet. Sadly it's happened before to Roxann, it was almost like each of her feet had a mind of their own. Actually that same concept went for her hands too, she was the clumsiest member of her family.

She managed making it to a table near a window where someone else was already sitting. Before sitting down she figured she should at least ask, "Excuse me. Is it alright if I sit here?" She pointed to the seat in front of the stranger. Before letting the person answer she set her trey down and made her self comfortable on the bench. "It's such a nice day today. Oh I'm Roxann by the way." She said hopping she wasn't being to rude but she was starving. She took a small bite of her pizza and opened up her milk carton.

[monica]

Cairo turned towards the voice that startled him out of his thoughts.
It was the same girl he saw awhile ago, who was holding up the line.
Now that he got a good look at her, she wasn't that bad looking, she was quite a pretty girl.

He shrugged and nodded " Sure"
He smirked seeing that she sat down before he could finish his sentence, she must have been starving not that he blamed her, he was still indulge in his own food at the moment.

"Cairo" he said smiling at her, the taking a bite out of his pizza.

[Melanie]

She smiled, "Cairo, that's a pretty cool name. "She took another small bite of her pizza and a gulp of her milk. Her stomach had finally stopped growling, she was so embarrassed when it did growl. "So how's your day going?" She asked tying to make conversation. "I heard it's supposed to rain tomorrow, I hope it does." She smiled taking another bite of her pizza. "Just curious what grade are you in?" She asked randomly and realized she was talking to much like usual and should give him a chance to talk. She took another bite of her pizza this time a little bit larger then the last one to keep herself from talking more.

[monica]

"Thanks, I was named after the capital of Egypt I believe" he said shrugging.
He remembers that his mother told him that where they got his name from, 'Cairo' he really did like it though.

He was about to reply to her question, but she kept interrupting him though he would have found this annoying, the girl just seem to amuse him by doing so.
He looks at her and lets her talk taking a swig of his water.

When she finally decided to give him a chance to talk, he decided to answer her question.
"I'm a senior, how about you?" he asked curiously, she did seem around his age so perhaps she was in his grade.

[Melanie]

She smiled, "That's pretty cool I'm not sure if I was named after anything cool like that." She thought for a second, "Actually I'm not even sure if I was named after anything." After finally letting him talk smiled, "I'm a senior too. So you excited to graduate and what not?" She asked trying to get him to talk more so she didn't start rambling again. She wasn't sure what to talk about she wasn't really used to talking to someone who wasn't as talkative as she was.

[monica]

" Doesn't matter if you have or haven't, you make the meaning to your name " Cairo said shrugging.
So she was a senior he knew she was an upperclassmen, either junior or a senior.

He was indeed excited to graduate, it mean't that he was closer to becoming an astronomer. Though he was really eager to graduate he didn't want to let it show.
"I guess you can say I am" He said and gave her a small smile.

He looked down at his pizza and took one last bite out of it, for some reason he just needed a few bites of food and a second later he would already be full.

[Melanie]

Roxann nodded, "I guess that does make sense." She smiled what he said sounded so poetic, she liked it and couldn't stop smiling. "That's cool. I'm definitely excited to graduate, but I'm a little nervous too. " She had just started making friends at this knew school and she didn't really want to switch schools already, but she knew most of her friends she would probably see in college or hang out with them a lot. "Do you know what you want to major in when you get to college?" She asked curiously. Cairo didn't talk to much, but that was ok with Roxann since she did enough talking for both of them. She took two more bites of her pizza almost finishing it and another swig of her milk. "You know I never really liked the pizza here, but today it tastes pretty good." She smiled randomly commenting on her pizza. She took one last bite of her pizza leaving the crust. She never really liked the crust to much unless it was stuffed with cheese. "So what do you like to do?" She asked realizing that his answer would probably be similar to her last question about what he wanted to major in. That is if he was majoring in something he enjoyed.

[monica]

"Don't be nervous you knew the day will come either way just confront it straight on" Cairo said he took another swig of his water. He will most definitely major in astronomy , he has been planning this out for over years.

"Probably in astronomy , nothing else really grasps my attention" he said honestly.
He knew he had to take in a minor but nothing really caught his eye other the the stars, he'll probably decide when he gets to college.

He smiled and nodded showing that he agreed with her, he would probably eat anything one his plate.

Even though he always acted mischievously he never was much of a talker.
" I'll probably be an astronomer, how about you?" he asked her

[Melanie]

She thought about what Cairo said for a few seconds, "Yeah I guess your right. I'm going to miss the people I've met here though, like what if I don't see them in the future anymore." She sighed, "I guess there's not much I can do about that though. People move and then they change and then they turn into completely different people sometime. I wonder what it would be like if no one ever changed. I guess life would get boring after a while if that happened." She caught her self realizing she was starting to ramble again.

She smiled as she listened to him talk about his passion for astronomy. She managed to listen the whole time with out adding her own ramble to the topic. "That's a cool field to go into. I've always liked looking at the stars, maybe when you become an astronomer you can teach me a little bit about them." She smiled hopping that one day she would get to hang out with Cairo again. He was pretty quiet but he seemed like a nice guy so far. "Hm," She thought about his question, "I'm not sure what I want to major in I like doing to many things. I do know I love taking pictures, but I don't think I would want to make it a career it's more of just a hobby." She smiled and finished off her milk, which she placed on her plate. "So um ... what else do you like to do?"

[monica]

He smiled and leaned against the chair with his arms crossed.
She was sure a talkative person, not that he minded, she was pretty entertaining.
People did change sometimes for the good of it and sometimes for the bad.
Though life wouldn't be the same if people would just stay the stay it would be a bit disorganized and chaotic.

"Yeah, if people didn't change we probably have more criminal running loose" he said

"Sure why not" Cairo said smiling, he would like to take the girl a show all he knew about starts and he would probably know more by the time he becomes an astronomer.

So she liked photographing, to bad she only saw it as a hobby.
He wasn't interested in much, other the cars and motorcycles he was quite a mechanic for his age.
"I guess it would probably be cars"
