Sarah, Aiden, and Hong went to the cafeteria for breakfast.
The cafeteria is massive and there were several hundreds of people present.
"Doesn't this remind you of our days at the school?", Sarah almost sang as she leaned on Aiden while they waited in line to get their food.
Aiden smiled as memories from the Tesla University came to his mind. "The first time I joined you at the table, I was in such a rush that I grabbed a random tray. I remember that mac and cheese was horrible, but I swallowed it so that you don't figure out how desperate I was to get close to you."
Sarah smiled goofily. "If you knew how fast my heart was beating, you would be more confident."
"It took me a long time to confirm that you are interested in me."
Sarah giggled. "I will take that as a compliment for my acting skills."
