[i]”Why don’t you just go up and ask?”[/i]

Kathy shrugged a little, attempting to seem indifferent but the slight blush on her cheeks obviously showed that she was embarrassed. After a small pause she admitted, “I feel a little bad. No matter how similar they are, it probably doesn’t feel good to be mistaken for someone else right?”

Rubbing her hands together in anticipation, she started breakfast with a warm biscuit smothered with blueberry jam and a few pieces of crispy bacon. Between bites she continued her conversation with Crash, being careful to talk only after she had swallowed the contents in her mouth. “Yup. This is my second year here. So I'm nowhere near a veteran, but I can help you with a few directions at least if you need it."

[i]’Swooning type?’[/i] Almost choking on her food from laughing, she quickly downed a glass of milk to help it pass. “Ahem. No, not a fan of that at all. Rather than a ‘must know’ I’d say more like a person that’s ‘good to recognize’? You saw him just a while ago giving a speech about the party right? Basically he’s the head of the student government and son of the principal, so a little higher up than most of us on the power ladder.”

Listening to snippets of the conversation going on beside them she noted, [i]’Aah, so Criston’s the one that’s a little more tanned and the twin is a new face around here.’[/i] Satisfied that the initial curiosity that brought them to the table in the first place was sated, she stopped eavesdropping and returned to enjoying the food.

[i]"Who are you guys?"[/i]

“Me? I’m…” She glanced around a bit at the faces around the table, wondering what sort of answer the guy was expecting. Names perhaps? She wasn’t well-known at all in the school. [i]’Hmm… Maybe he’s actually asking why we joined them at the table?’[/i] “I’m Kathy, just a randomly passing Pedestrian A taking a meal break. Uh, don’t mind me and please just continue with your fun conversation.” Giving him a small wave and sheepish grin, she pretended to be intensely interested in a plate of waffles covered in syrup, chocolate, and fruits. False fascination aside, the waffles were delicious. Leaving half of it, she pushed the plate towards Crash. “This is really good by the way, you should try it.”
