There was one thing that Gabriel forgot to check as he headed out the school doors. If he actually had any money or not. He checked his wallet hoping to find a good amount of money there, but only came up with three dollars. What would that buy him? A McDouble and a Small Fries? That wouldn't be filling enough for lunch..."... I am poor..."Gabriel sighed in frustration, but smirked at his own comment soon after as he headed back into the school. The Cafeteria, if he remembered correctly, was somewhere in the eastern direction from his current position. The smell of food might make the place easier to find as well.When he got there, Gabriel was pleased to see that the food selection wasn't all that bad. If he had been at a food place some of the item selections would have been worth the three dollars he had, but thankfully, this was free food. He grabbed a tray and grabbed three sandwiches, a couple of bags of chips, and a drink. No use being modest about how much he ate, he was hungry! Walking to the tables, he looked for a place to sit. Most places were booked or had a bit too many people around for his liking. There was one table with a lone girl reading a book. That place shouldn't be too much trouble eating and relaxing in peace so long as no more people came and the girl kept to herself."Better than most places I guess..."He headed over there and sat down to eat. Gabriel watched as the other students went about conversations and other minor antics. Typical jokes, spoon bendings, bla bla bla.

Kijani looked up from her dime-store mystery novel (she always had a book tucked away somewhere) to realize that someone had sat down near her. She recognized him, vaguely. He was the one who'd melted a hole in the obstacle course. She met his eyes, smiled briefly, and then returned to her reading and her sandwich. Acknowledging him, but leaving the actual conversation up to him. If he didn't want to talk, she wouldn't blame him. He'd probably taken a seat here for a reason. It wasn't entirely quiet, but it was better than being in the throng of noise from the other students. Maybe he too, was seeking peace and quiet, and she could respect that.
