Lunch at the school cafeteria- Part 2

Vietnamese spring rolls with a golden , crunchy texture. Pad Thai Prawn Noodles that glistened and had a fragrant aroma.Orange chicken with mango fried rice.Vegetable egg rolls and a spicy chilli dipping sauce.Wonton soup perfect for a cold day.Some sweet and sour fish that looked appealing.

Countless spectators drooled at the delicious food that Shen Xue placed on the table.

" Shen Xue, can you eat all of this?"Jin Yu asked in shock.

" No silly, I brought this much food for us to share."

Shen Xue stated handing over two empty lunch boxes that also had it's own small bowl to Song Xia and Jin Yu before passing them some chopsticks and a spoon.

" Take whatever you feel like having!"Shen Xue grinned before attacking the spring rolls.

Soon Song Xia and Jin Yu dug in as well.

Moving on from the drama this morning they decided to speak about more enjoyable thing.

"Xue Er, how was your holiday?"Jin Yu queried curiously.After all Shen Xue went on an overseas shopping trip and visited countries in Europe.

" Paris was beautiful. The clothes absolutely to die for! I even managed to take some amazing pictures of the Eiffel. By the way I got you'll gifts that I thought would suit you. Come over this weekend and we can also go out for lunch?"

Song Xia and Jin Yu were struck at how generous and thoughtful Shen Xue was so they thanked her and promised to treat her to lunch during the weekend as a thank you gift.

" The Fashion Shows in Milan we're amazing! The Bellissimo Fashion show was epic!"

Shen Xue's father had actually really struggled and paid a small fortune for to get an invitation to the fashion show.

Bellissimo was an absolute fashion industry giant. They were known a top tier brand for over a century and dominated the fashion world. It wasn't only a Fashion House but a Top tier Fashion Magazine and had a fashion Agency as well. It was said that that it even had ties to Huxia through Lai Qiang Fashion House and White Jade Magazine.

Bellissimo didn't not only have couture and high end clothing. It also had one of the worlds most sought after jewelry, shoes and handbag collections.

They also had a unspoken policy of hiring only supermodels and the most famous actors to walk for them . One might say they were arrogant but so what? They had the power to be so arrogant!

" There were many supermodels on the catwalk even Andrea Willams and Bianca Cocci were there! Who do you'll like more ? I personally like Andrea! Her hair is so awesome it's short and a brilliant red . Her personality is so edgy and cool!" Shen Xue divulged.

English Supermodel Andrea Williams was on the cover of many first tier magazines and some top tier magazine. Yet, her strength lay on the catwalk . Her walk was edgy not graceful or even sexy. It was the version of her truest self- playful and fiery. Although she was striking she wasn't a conventional beauty but her personality and height had allowed her make a unique mark in the fashion industry. Now at the age of 25 years old there are few people in the entertainment industry that do not know her name!

" I also like Andrea. Her eyes tell a story and she can adapt in any settings." Song Xia replied.

Jin Yu pouted," Well I like Bianca! Everything about her is so sweet and ladylike."Bianca Cocci was the girl next door with almost a babyish face. Pretty and cute . Cosmetic companies as well as feminine clothing ranges absolutely adore her. Bianca although a sought after French supermodel had also branched into the acting industry.

Shen Xue and Song Xia laughed. " Bianca is also really amazing in person as well! On the catwalk she wore a yellow and white lady's suit but didn't give off any masculinity. It was purely feminine beauty!"Shen Xue added.

"I wore the the Little Violette dress you got me ,Xiao Xia!Some people were so jealous..."

Shen Xue recalled that annoying girl in a cream gown that called her dress fake before being slapped in the face by a prominent designer from France after he asked to take a photo of Shen Xue's dress.

"Thanks to you , I got to meet the designer Felix Rodier at the fashion show and he gave me a tour of ViVi Dee !I managed to buy this ViVi Dee backpack from the Head quarters in Paris."

The three of them had just had a taste of the delicate red velvet macaroons that Shen Xue's chef had prepared when they where interrupted.

Maybe it was the friendly way that the interacted or the fact that Song Xia and Jin Yu weren't in what you would call the 'rich' clique that somebody found unbearable.

" Uhhmm, excuse me . You must be Shen Xue. I'm Qin Chunhua a Senior." The girl had her hair pulled back in a fishtail braid with a navy blue silk ribbon. Qin Chunhua was friendly towards Shen Xue so she smiled at her . " Hello , Senior, what can I do for you?"

" Well, Shen Xue there's no easy way to say this so let me be direct. " She gave a dirty glance in Song Xia 's and Jin Yu 's direction as if she had smelt something bad. With a wrinkled nose she spoke words that instantly made Shen Xue displeasured and angry.

" Well these two are not suitable in any way to be friends with someone with your status. I in fact suggest that you forget about them and join another group. My group of friends will always become you !" Her sincere tone served to piss of Shen Xue even more.

Shen Xue took a deep breath and decided to put this nonsense behind her once and for all.

" Ah, well Senior Qin, thank you for your well-meaning advice." Maybe Qin Chunhua was so self- absorbed that she couldn't hear Shen Xue's sarcastic tone so she shot Jin Yu and Song Xia a triumphant smile.

" However, I know which people to associate with and which people to ignore. So in the future, please don't show up in front of me Senior Qin. My friends and I will be happy without your help."

By the time Qin Chunhua could process what had happened Shen Xue, Song Xia and Jin Yu had left the cafeteria. The laughter , giggles and titters surrounding Chunhua mad her feel waves of unyielding embarrassment.
