The bell ending the first half of the day rang. It was time to leave the frustrating mole-mole equations and take out your lunches, probably the best part of the school day. Class B's science teacher tidied up his things and left the room, leaving Mrs. Castro to come back and observe lunch. Normally, desks would have been shifted to form groups and there would be a buzz of chatter throughout the room, but in Class B, you could feel the frustrated tension in the room. Alex and Melanie, two people that evidently found themselves unfit to be class reps, had been given the jobs. 

Melanie was apparently not ready for the responsibility as she read the student handbook. Right now she was supposed to be helping bring in all of the hot lunches that the students had ordered this morning, but since it such a snowy first day, now one had ordered anything. Melanie thought for sure next time she would get all the adults she needed to on speed dial. Getting up from her desk Melanie hurried over to Mrs. Castro who had just walked in with a big smile on her face. The teenage girl couldn't exactly equal the teacher's enthusiasm though.

[color=0072bc][color=0072bc][color=f49ac2]"Can I help you, Miss Melanie?"[/color][/color][/color] She said joyfully, taking a seat at the desk and crossing her legs under the rolling chair.

[color=0072bc]"I need to know what to do about the hot lunches."[/color] 

Well yes let's see," She picked up the school phone and connected with good ol' Jerry again, [color=f49ac2]"What should we do about the students' lunches? ...Hmm? Yes... that will be fine~"[/color] She hung up the phone and looked over at the bespectacled girl,[color=f49ac2] "Seems that all the students who normally take hot lunches will have to have the same lunch. Think you can handle that?" [/color]

[i]No, no, no,[/i] and just one more tiny... [i]NO.[/i] Melanie did not find any of this okay. Planning and organization had become her strong suit ever since she had become so reclusive, but all of these unexpected circumstances were starting to give her a headache... [color=0072bc]"A-Alex?"[/color] She hesitantly called out, only to find that he was missing.
