My whole left side went cold at the loss of contact.

When Lana turned her head and saw that the two of them were in the lunch line, she leaned over at the table towards me and whispered "So?"

I sent her a puzzled look before suggesting "So…?"

"Do you think Brennan likes me?" She questioned with a hopeful smile "I know it's early days, but he is sitting with us."

"Of course, he likes you. You two are sickeningly sweet." I felt the need to assure her before I made a joke "I have only known him a day but I can tell he has a horrible taste in girls so you should be fine."

She broke a piece of her sandwich off and threw it at me. It did not touch me. It instead landed on the person behind me's head as I ducked in time to dodge it.

A few minutes later and the two new students returned with food. They came back with enough to feed a small village.

I peered between the two trays and seen every food served by the cafeteria on their plates.

I did not realise I was drooling over the fries until Brennan offered one out to me. I reached to take it from his hand, but he pulled it away and laughed at me. I frowned and glared at him until he gave it back.

"How can you manage to eat all of that?" I queried, trying to keep the impressiveness in my tone at a minimum "I have a massive appetite and I would struggle to finish a quarter of the food on your plate."

Brennan chuckled before informing "We are big guys, Ella."

"Yeah." I replied absentmindedly while peering at the giant next to me's arms and torso and his overall body "I noticed that."

My attention was still on the bulky arm at the side of my head when it moved to grab a plate of sweet chilli chicken and noodles from the lunch tray.

Stone set the plate of noodles in front of me.

I quickly looked up at him and tilted my head in confusion.

The large veiny hand belonging to Stone nudged the plate so that it was closer in front of me.

"For me?" I asked him, my voice struck with confusion.

His head cocked to the side and his obsidian eyes remained on my expression when he nudged the plate further towards me.

The smell of the food was mouth-watering, but I managed to retrain myself

I sent him a small grateful smile before I shook my head "I can't accept this."

"Eat." Stone growled.

"That means I owe you, Lurch." I pointed out the obvious while I began to move the plate back towards him.

"Eat, Medusa." He growled again, grabbing the plate and placing it in front of me.

Stone handed me a fork and stared at me. He did not move. He just waited for me to take the first bite.
