Shiori sat back in the booth, looking out the window while she waited for her food to arrive.
'Sigh, well this has been a lovely first day hasn't it? I think I just want to get this food into me and go to bed. Hopefully I don't have that messed up dream again. That was not cool.
What am I gonna do now though? I mean, I don't know how I can build myself up in this school, and in nowhere near the amount of time to perfect where I was back home. I mean, I'm sitting by myself in a noodle shop, that just screams loser. Ugh, where is my food?'
She saw the waitress coming down, almost swinging into the table behind her before stopping at her own. "OK, and you had the spicy beef udon and the iced tea?"
"Yeah, thank you." Shiori accepted the food, drink and chopsticks from the woman. The waitress departed quickly, onto the next order.
"Hmmmmmmmmm," Shiori said, preparing for an exploratory taste. She scooped up a couple of the noodles and a small strip of beef and popped it in her mouth. 'Hmmmmm, not bad. Different kind of spice they're using on this then back home. I like it though. It works well with the beef.' Satisfied, she continued digging into her meal.
