Thursday

Xiao has been hanging out with Aether some more, they've been getting closer, he sits with Aether and some of his friends during lunch now. Xiao's mostly sits there quietly listening to them talk.


Lunch

"Hey give that back!" Bennett yells at Razor as Razor grabs some meat from Bennett's plate.

Razor says nothing, popping the piece of stolen meat right into his mouth in response.

"Here you can have this, I don't like it." Xiangling says placing some broccoli onto Bennett's plate.

"I don't want that! The broccoli here taste horrible." Bennett whined.

"That's why I'm giving it to you." Xiangling teases Bennett.

Suddenly, Xingqiu walks up to our table and sits down, Chongyun who usually just hangs around Xingqiu sits down beside him.

"Finally, what took you so long?" Xiangling says whining.

"Sorry, Chongyun forgot to get milk so we had to go back in line." Xingqiu replied.

"How come you guys couldn't just go back and grab it? Why'd you have to go to the back of the line?" Xiangling asked munching on some beef.

"That new lady is so stingy, she yelled at us and forced us into the line, just for some stupid milk." Xingqiu complained.

"Oh, that new one? She yelled at me for grabbing extra fruit. It's not like anyone's going to care." Xiangling complained.

"Aether?" Xiangling asks looking over to a tired Aether.

"Aether, are you alright?" Xiangling asks as Aether zones off, tiredly.

"Aether!" Xiangling says louder, shaking Aether around.

"Ack! What!" Aether replies grumpily.

"Are you okay? I called you name three times!" Xiangling asks concerned.

"Yea.. I just haven't been getting some good sleep." Aether says in a tired tone.

"You should go to the library, it's nice and quiet." Xingqiu says randomly pulling out a book from underneath the table.

"Uh.."

"You should go to the nurses office to lie down." Bennett tells Aether."Barbara is always there, she's super nice! She takes care of my wounds whenever I go."

"Maybe later.." Aether replies laying his head down onto the table.

"Aether." Xiao says coldly.

"Hm?.." Aether groans tiredly.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the nurses office." Xiao says grabbing Aether's wrist standing up.

Aether stands up as Xiao pulls his wrist, "Ack!-"

"Where are you guys going!" Xiangling screams.

"Where are we going?" Aether asks following behind Xiao, as Xiao pulls him by the wrist.

"The nurses office." Xiao replies still walking.

"Why?-" Aether says ask Xiao fastens his pace, pulling Aether faster unexpectedly.
