The blue substance quickly soaked into the bread, turning it a slight shade of blue that was almost entirely unnoticable. It was placed on a plate surrounded by other types of sandwiches and kids were grabbing them left and right. Jaden grabbed a sandwich that was to the left of the infected food item, while Tyranno grabbed one from the other side. Syrus, however, reached out and took the infected sandwich, putting it on his tray next to his other selections. The three friends looked around for a table and saw one near the back of the cafeteria. Jaden sat down near the end of it and Syrus sat down next to him. Before he could start eating, however, Tyranno pushed him over onto the floor in order to sit next to Jaden. With a loud, "Oof!" Syrus hit the ground hard, his glasses nearly jounced from his face. He angrily stood up and said, "What did you do that for?"

Tyranno grinned at him and said, "Sorry, but shouldn't best friends close as brothers sit next to each other?"

Syrus growled at this, but wasn't fool enough to pick a fight with Tyranno. Not only was he a lot taller than Syrus, he was also a lot stronger and buffer. Picking a fight with him would be suicide. He just took his tray and moved it to sit across from the other two. He sighed and picked up his sandwich, taking a bite of it. He was so tired of constantly getting pushed around by everyone. It didn't help he had a poor self image of himself, but he was also short for his age and pathetic when it came to fighting in an actual fight. Ever since Tyranno had come into the picture, he had constantly gotten into verbal brawls with him but never took it far enough to actually fist fight with him. Sometimes, he wished he was bigger and stronger, able to defend himself and his friends not only in duels but also in reality.

It didn't take long to finish the breakfast sandwich and after it was gone, Syrus felt a strange uplifting of his spirits. He felt like he had more energy and was also hungrier. He happily ate the rest of his breakfast, eating and listening rather than joining in with his friend's conversations. After awhile, they noticed how much and how fast he was eating and Jaden said, "Ah, Syrus? Are you feeling okay?"

Syrus nodded and said, "Sure, why do you ask?"

"Well, you never usually eat so much. I was just wondering if you were sick or something."

Syrus shook his head and said, "I just feel really hungry this morning, that's all."

Jaden shrugged and didn't press the subject. Everyone had days when they felt like they were starving. They finished breakfast and dropped their trays and dishes off before heading for their first class.
