Chapter 6: The Sleepless and The Broken Part 4

I finally made my way into the cafeteria, and just as she had claimed previously, Mia was still in there, eating some more food and looking down to the ground. I made my way over to her, and sat down across from her, before starting to talk.

“Sooo, what have you been up to?” I asked, trying to start a decent conversation with her.

“Sitting here.” She responded, a hint of wit and sarcasm in her tone.

“You know what I mean. Why didn’t you go with us?” I continued, trying to get her full attention.

“I did not find any value in looking into new areas here. I’m content with what we had before.” Mia explained, taking a sip of her drink, “Besides, I have more interesting things to watch,”

I took a moment to look at her eyes, and looked in the direction that she was, seeing Risa sitting at a table, by herself.

“Why are you watching her?” I whispered, leaning in to ask Mia.
