Chapter 158 Plans (2/2)
”The first years are at the outer edges, while those closest are the final years,” Kyle explained.
Kyle would always recon the area out of habit and he had recognised all of the students around. After determining that no one meant any harm, he let it be even though it meant being on display whenever they had breakfast.
”Where's Kay and Sarah?” Xing Han asked, ”Doesn't Kay always get your breakfast for you?”
”She does?! You make our Angel Kay serve you like that?!” Ali gasped, staring at Kyle.
”I do not make her,” Kyle protested, ”She always comes before I do and she gets the food for me. What can I say? She just loves me too much.”
Ali rolled his eyes.
”She's coming in later, Xing Han,” Kyle said, ”She said since Ali and Sam are here, I wouldn't have any trouble getting food by myself.”
”Oh,” Sam said, ”You get mobbed even in the cafeteria?”
”You have no idea,” Kyle muttered, biting on a piece of toast.
”And seriously, Kyle,” Ali stared at Kyle again, ”Just where do you put all of that food in that tiny body of yours? And how do you eat so fast? Are you even chewing?”
Kyle had already finished two meals (pancakes and potato gratin) and was finishing up his third (scrambled eggs and toast).
”First, yes. I do chew. Secondly, it all goes to muscle,” Kyle said with a smirk, ”Something you may not be familiar with.”
”Oh, you did not say that,” Ali replied with a bigger smirk.
”I believe I just did,” Kyle retorted, an eyebrow raised and his smirk becoming a lopsided grin.
Ali was just about to get up when Kyle said nonchalantly, popping the last piece of toast in his mouth, ”Do anything and I'll slap you with a demerit point so fast your head will spin.”
Kyle was referring to the power that Student Council members (and prefects) had to ensure order. There were prefects, but overall, the Student Council members had the same power (and more). Accumulate enough demerit points and you'll be sent to detention, which would include cleaning duties (normally, the toilets).
Ali gasped, putting a hand over his heart as he said, ”You'd do that to a friend!?”
”No,” Kyle replied, ”I'd do it to you.”
His mouth was twitching by now, trying hard not to laugh while Ali was barely able to keep himself from launching over at Kyle. If this had been outside, they would have been engaged in one of their usual fights but it was the cafeteria. Rules were rules. No fighting.
Ali sat back down, then grinned, ”There's always Sage Class.”
Kyle smiled and leaned his head back as Kay came over. She kissed him on the forehead and sat next to him. He passed her the plate of pancakes that he had gotten for her.
”Thanks,” Kay said as she started eating.
Kyle handed Sarah another plate of pancakes, saying, ”I know you usually have cereal but here. You should have something different once in a while.”
Sarah was surprised and took the pancakes while thanking him. She looked at the pancakes and thought they looked more enticing than usual. Upon the first bite, it tasted even better than she remembered.
”So how was the first class of Wing Chun?” Kyle asked Kay as he drank his milk.
”So far, so good,” Kay replied, ”Even Sarah joined the class.”
”Really? That's interesting. Did you enjoy it, Sarah?”
”Yes, it was hard but fun,” Sarah said, ”The exercises were tiring but I think I'll get the hang of it soon. Kay picked up the moves so easily and she didn't even look tired at the end of the class.”
”Don't compare yourself to Kay,” Kyle said, ”Everyone is different and has their own pace.”
”Yes, that, and the fact that I do have my own exercise routine,” Kay replied, ”So technically, I'm not a beginner like you.”
”Yeah, you'll catch up pretty quickly,” Kyle agreed.
Sarah listened to them encouraging her and she smiled to herself. She wanted to improve herself and not just take the comfortable route. She decided to use Kay as someone to emulate and hopefully, she would be able to stand next to Kyle properly.
She chewed on her pancakes happily, giving some glances at Kyle who was now talking animatedly with Ali and the rest.
