| College lunchroom, afternoon.
Bernadetta thought, sweatily, 'It is too bad for myself, that I forgot my lunch today... So that means, my lunch is just rice with the sesame I brought. *Awkward chuckle*.
Now, where should I sit? *Scans around* Herhh? That girl, the one over there- Does she not look familiar... '
*Plat, clutter.
"*Brreh!* Oh? Pleasant`t days, Bernadetta." The shivering girl greeted. "It had`d been a while, since`e we last`t spoke."
Bernadetta replied with awe, "I guess it really has... So Sachi? I got to ask. Are you really eating alone at this table, or, am I just missing something here?"
With a glum smile, Sachi said, "No, you haven't missed`d a thing. *Breheh!* Because`e of my Anemia, I've never become close`e to anyone. Well, no one but you.
So, I'd become`e used to eating all by`y myself. With a book I've chosen, and some staple food in my mouth. I've been perfectly fine."
*SLU-rp!!
*Shake, sha-shake!
Puzzled, Sachi asked, "Also, why`y are you still seasoning your rice like that`t? Won't that`t mountain overpower the rice as it is`s?
*Scrape! -cru-Crunch!
"No, n`no! I really like it LIKE this, okay!" Bernadetta embarrassly shouted, as she thought, 'What th`the? What was ALL of that?
Everything she just said, how could she make it all sound so good and happy, when everything should have been sad and not good?!?'
Concerned, Sachi asked, "Bernadetta`a??? I'm`m so lost`t-"
| The next day afternoon, at Juice N` Snacks.
"Wow, wowee`e! This is where you work, Bernadetta?!" Sachi asked, her voice beaming.
Bernadetta replied, awkwardly, "When you were talking about eating alone, I just felt like... like I had to, help you some way."
Attentively, Sachi responded, "Are you`u serious? You`u want to help me`e?"
As she inhaled, Bernadetta said, "Yeah, really I do. So while I work for a while. Could you try to make actual friends just for me, please?"
Intensely, she thought, 'Why- How can this girl be just so much like I was! Like I still kinda am, actually.. Maybe, just maybe. I can get her out of the same place that I was in!'
| A few hours of cringe interactions later~
'With that rush over with, I can see if she made friends with somebody.' Bernadetta thought, as she gasped.
"Good, great. Tell me`e please, is there`e any category of breakfast you like?" Sachi asked her table friend.
The girl said with a yawn, "All breakfast is in my comfort zone.. But the one that usually knocks me out of my slumber..... Egg omelets. Got to be! egg omelets!"
Bernadetta asked with surprise, "Eleanor?! *Swallows* Sachi? You two ar-are, really talking?"
They both pleasantly nodded.
With a look of shock, Sachi asked, "Bernadetta! Are the the both of you familiar with each-other?!?"
She said to herself, "The way me and her met- Where and what do I start with?"
