16 School Days 3 (2/2)

The majority of the people who got the more luxurious lunches were scholarship students who hadn't spent their entire lives around such food and wanted to take the opportunity to eat it for free.

Their good luck ran out when it came time to sit somewhere as every table had somebody sitting at it and they had to return to their dorm to eat without sitting down next to strangers.

”Is the cafeteria usually that full?”

”No, usually I have an entire table to myself in the corner.”

Aria thought back on the situation she had seen going on at her usual table. There had been nearly the entire student news club hovering around it and a number of well known gossip bloggers were sitting at it directly. Even when the sugaring rumor had been floating around, no one had reacted like this.

She figured that it must have to do with how large scale the events this time were in comparison.

With a sigh, she decided to explain the situation fully.

”All of the students who were around the table in the back were from either the news club or were gossip bloggers.”

”Ohh. Fun.”

After they finished eating their lunches, there was still nearly 30 minutes left of the lunch break and Aria decided to check and see if the school forums had calmed down. When she logged on, she saw that she had received several messages but they were only from students who wanted to ask how she felt and a couple of them were even cheers of support from other scholarship students.

Moving on from checking her personal messages, she looked at the forum itself and saw that it had gone back to normal and the threads that had incited the day before's incident had been deleted by the school staff.

The rest of the day passed rather smoothly with only a small bump occurring when one of the boys in the last period was overly interested in finding out more about the new student.

As the day ended, they were both relieved that the day went as smoothly as it did. In all honestly, Aria had expected to be harassed by the more curious students during class when they got the opportunity, but the teachers had kept the classes reigned in and no one had even spoken to her.
