Irvine was sitting, squeezed in with a bunch of other students at one of the cafeterias tables. He had opted to not try the 'casserole surprise' for now and was simply observing the situations occurring. Note pad in hand, Irvine scrawled down notes and diagrams that only he was likely to understand.  As another student leaned in to try and see what he was doing, Irvine responded in kind leaning away to keep the pad from view as he made a few last points.  Flipping the pad shut Irvine gave the other student a small smile as he pocketed it once more and returned to sitting normally.

With a sigh Irvine dug his fork into the 'food' lifting it in the air to examine it.  What would normally be considered a surprise, was hardly that at all as the stubborn substance seemed to cling on.  [color=ed1c24]"What did they make this with, cement?"[/color] Irvine asked himself as he tried to shake the fork free.  Eventually deciding to give up the teenager placed the fork back on the tray.  [color=ed1c24]"I don't know what would cause more harm, someone ingesting this or having it thrown at them."[/color] The boy continued to mumble as he returned to his observations.  He was among the students that particular staff and teachers seemed to be hawk eyeing, as though expected to act up.  For now Irvine would need to remain in this unwanted situation, sat next to some nosy brat, what he needed was a distraction.

[i]"MR. BLACKWELL! GET DOWN FROM THAT TABLE THIS INSTANT OR YOU'LL HAVE DETENTION FOR A WEEK!"[/i] It was almost too perfectly time.
[color=ed1c24]"Well that's my cue, enjoy the pig slop."[/color] Irvine stated as he used the situation to move from his current table.  It occurred to him that he had not really given thought to where he was headed, and was now without a seat.  With a somewhat stressed sigh Irvine began to wonder around looking for a different vantage point for his observations, sticking closer to larger groups of students to avoid the eyes of staff and teachers.
