On a busy Monday noon, Vaughn struggles to find her best friend Rade to eat lunch with.

"Mico, have you seen Rade anywhere?" She asks one of her friends she came across with.

"Sorry, I haven't. I'm running late for class, see you later" The blue-eyed boy makes a run for it, in attempt to catch his class.

Vaughn felt her phone in her pocket. She took it out to call her missing best friend.

"Dude, where are you? I need someone to eat lunch with," After a couple of rings, the other line of the call picks up.

"Sorry, I can't join you for lunch today. Something came up," Rade hesitantly speaks from the other end.

"Is that so? Let me know where you are and I'll-"

"No, dude It's okay. I'm good," With that Rade cuts the call. Not even letting Vaughn respond.

Why is everyone in such a hurry? Well, I guess today I'm spending lunch time with myself.

With scattered thoughts, Vaughn walks her way to the cafeteria.
