At half-past noon, Skyler woke up to an empty stomach with desperation to satisfy the inner foodie in him. It was twenty minutes to 1 pm. Lunch was served at this time in the school. All kinds of foods were served to the students unless it's junk food.
Tim unknowingly woke up to see Skyler waking up Raynard.
The three buddies got plates from their suitcases and walked out of the dormitory with sudden red eyes as if they were in deep sorrow.
On the way, Tim kept on banging his fork on the plate he was carrying as he let out, "guys we should quicken our footsteps. Am in despair. Anytime from now, get ready to lift me to the sickbay."
"Dude, relax. I bet there are few students at dinner." as Skyler chuckled. Raynard was silent. His thoughts were all about home. This made his tummy hurt.
They lined up for food, got a table to sit on. Weirdly, most students who were present glanced at the three friends all the time. In the eyes of the innocent girls and old comers, these boys sparkled. This made them eat in silence until they left for the dormitory.
"Guys, why we're many girls looking at us?" Raynard asked doubtfully. "Or am just overwhelmed by this new lifestyle!"
"Ah! Isn't it obvious, Tim..." "What about Tim?"
"He's so elegant that he made us the target of most horny girls." Skyler cackled hard as he explained with his arms intertwined.
He said all this with consideration to the chitchat he had with an old comer student leader. She told him how striding together gave rise to perfect gentlemen a girl would fall for. As Skyler walked behind Tim and Raynard, she entered the dinner past muttering to herself. "If only I get a chance to eat one of them. Am willing to give my all. Predominantly that dude with glasses."
Just now Skyler is teasing Tim because he heard what she said but said nothing.
Raynard analyzed the situation and kept shut. Tim nodded as he reddened.
"Gentlemen, let's wash our plates and hurry back to the dormitory. look at the eyes around as." Raynard exclaimed.
Reaching their cubicle, Tim took off his shirt and stretched out on his bed in a vest and a "five-star" underpants. Raynard laid on his bed calmly as he closed his eyes to meditate. During this period, his eyes could get wet as little tears fell off his cheeks.
Skyler left the room after placing his plate in his suitcase for entertainment. During weekends, the school had a cinema room where students could go watch different shows. These shows were selected according to votes.
Boys and girls were not allowed to mix so the cinema rooms were each put in boys' and girls' dormitories respectively. (letting teenagers watch movies together... some scenes tend to be 18+. You know the drill)
At 4 pm, Raynard had woken up, put on his shirt as he left their room. He walked towards the upper section of the school where he spotted the basketball court. He loves basketball dearly ever since.
He found a ball rested on the court by a weary player, he looked at her as he gave out a look of a request. She nodded in agreement.
By her looks, she seemed to be younger and far below his class level. He didn't mind. As Raynard signed, he grabbed the ball at took a three-pointer like a pro. The students around glimpsed at him in wonder.
Some could be heard whispering, "The newcomers of this year seem to be very super talented."
As Raynard felt a bit out of place, he had decided to let go of the desire for ball. Just as he was about to flee, a short, babyface like boy came up to him and requested a match. Raynard was surprised and happy too.
