Salem High School Cafeteria
Open: Freeform(Look Down at note on bottom)


The cafeteria at Salem High School was nothing to write home about, at least according to Emma Frost. It looked more like a soup kitchen for the dirt poor. Inspirational posters hung on pale blue walls. The floor was normally a light brown color but currently had black footprints all over. Nearly seventy or so tables filled the spacious room, some smaller than the others. Along the walls were large, rectangular tables that could sit over a dozen. More towards the middle were circular tables ranging in sizes that could fight anywhere from 6-10.

Sitting at the smaller of the tables was Emma, eating a Sesame Salad which her own personal chef had prepared for her. She, of course, would never eat the disgusting and greasy cafeteria food her fellow students ate.

She eyed the the line of students to her far right, all seemingly eager to eat today’s meals of Sloppy Joes, pasta or Vegetable Ravioli.

She took a small bit of her salad and continued to look around the room, taking note at who sat where and with whom. The lunch room was always very telling. Like all schools Salem High School was filled with cliques. The beautiful and rich sat with their brethren while the ugly and the misfortunate sat with their fellow poor souls. The jocks sat with the jocks, the Asians with the asians. The fatties gorged together while those with eating disorders picked at their small portion of food and then rushed to the bathroom. The brains had intelligent conversations, while in the slow classes goofed around and threw food at each other. Every table had their own thing, their own conversation and their own insular rituals. Of course on occasion one person from another clique would move over to different table to say hello but those crossovers were usually between like minded cliques. You’d really see some AV Dungeon Dragon Nerd come over to say hello to Emma’s table of the rich and popular.

Emma and her clique had one of the nicest tables at Salem High School. It was clean with very little graffiti and was in a position which allowed them to overlook other tables and allowed over tables to stare and look at them. It was the perfect judgement spot.

And what was a high school cafeteria for if not for judging and ridiculing your peers?

Tag: JP

Note: This thread is a free form thread, but in terms of table. So Emma is sitting at one table with JP, so the posting order will be Emma/JP/Emma/JP. If someone is sitting a table with three people it will be Person1/Person2/Person3. If you want to join a table that already has people in it, you’ll have to ask permission from one of those people, just like in a real high school! Of course if you want to be rude and cause drama, you can do that too but still at least PM the person.

And don’t just have your character sit anywhere, think about how it would be in a real cafeteria. Who is your character? What type of person is he/she? Who would they say with?

Another important note, if you post here you are basically confirming that this is your character’s lunch period so if you do another lunch thread with your character, it should be at this time unless you note that they changed their lunch period.

Also I'm tagging JP but anyone can post at a different table. If you want to tag someone who'd you like to sit with you, let them know over PM.

High School was truly one of the most irritating inventions ever created. Everything was about fitting in and coexisting with those beneath and above oneself. In fact it seemed to jive well with Xavier's dream he spouted at all the inhabitants of his spacious mansion. Sure Jean-Paul lived there and learned from them and did agree that mutants should be accepted by humans much like the fight to get straights to accept gays, but the man's speechifying was annoying. There was acceptance sure, but forced mingling was just disgusting. There were so many at the school that were not even worth the time.

Jean-Paul's fork thumped against the tray, pushing around the Ravioli absentmindedly. Far as the young man was concerned the school might as well start serving prison gruel. At least it might have some more flavor than the pure crap they shoveled onto students trays every day. Pushing it aside, eyes fell upon one of the football players a few tables away. Names weren't important as the brainless dolt was far from a good conversationalist one would assume. No they were just eye candy. That was their place in the world besides to run around homo-erotically slapping each other on the ass and grabbing on each other in tight uniforms while denying they were gay.

"Shame all the pretty one's are so dumb." Eyes returned from the eye candy reluctantly, as the Canadian youth sighed and rested his chin upon an upturned hand. "I tire of these proceedings. Where is a stumbling nerd to mock when one needs one."

Cassia was unfortunately running a little late for lunch that day. She had gotten delayed discussing the days lesson with her history teacher before realizing the bell had rung and dashing off with a quick wave. On the plus side however she had packed her own lunch, having learned her lesson about trying to eat the not-food the cafeteria served, so she had no need to bother with lines and waiting.

She glanced around for a moment as she entered before spotting her friend and making her way towards the other girl. Her choice of clothing for the day had been inspired by the older girl-she figured Nic would like it. She had chosen to wear a japanese school uniform, opping for the male version as opposed to the female. She set her bag on the table before waving to Nic in rapid greeting. She sat down beside her, hooking an arm around Nicolet in a friendly embrace. 'How are you?' she signed after a moment.

A squeal came from Nicole’s’ lips as her friend appeared, honestly Cas was an eyesore at the table filled of cheerleaders and jocks the girl stuck out like a sore technicolored thumb. But the woman greeted the girl warmly. The cheerleader paused in the conversation she was having with another girl in identical uniform to nod her head at that moving hands.

“Yeah, I’m fine, had to go do an extra practice because bitches don’t know what upper body strength is. I miss anything in study?” The Asian girl turned her head slightly to stare pointedly at a girl not far from the pair before turning her attention back to Cas and the girl before her.

When it came to the cheerleaders, Nicole was top of the top of the heap, a position for the most part she seemed oblivious to when pleased. Or her neck wasn’t at the risk of being broken. Something in a girls personality having been alive longer than most the people that taught in the institution, that had a certain charm and force to it.

Nicole didn’t feel the compulsion to look for her sisters on their own, their thoughts brushed against hear, so truly no distance of consequence. Identical faces elsewhere in worlds of their own, projects, even of their own, but call Nicole old fashion, she liked to keep hers close.

Smiling Nicole passed Cassia a fruit cup of mandarin oranges.

Emma smiled at JP. She saw loved having a bitchy, gay friend. It seemed natural for her! Her brother was a downright bore at times with his pity me attitude, but JP was constant fun. He was downright rude and enjoyed poking fun at others, what wasn't there to love about him?"

When he asked for his stumbling nerd, Emma gave it to him. Her eyes fell onto a skinny, lanky boy passing them and she entered his mind, toying with it just enough that the boy find himself confused and tripped over his own legs.

"Hmm can you believe that?" she asked looking down at the fallen boy with disinterest, "I guess if there was God he would prefer us over a thing like that, so I guess he'd want to amuse us."

She took a bit of her salad and looked back to JP, "Let's make up stories about people and than spread them as nasty rumors!"

Her eyes fell onto Cassia and Nicole and a smile crossed her lips.

"Oh a lesbian a cheerleader," she cooed, "No one knows the shame she feels when she enters the girl's locker room, seeing her fellow bulimic, retarded whores in their bras and panties, almost as much shame as her friends feels every time she puts on that outfit. This is why those Salvation Army stores should not exist. If you can't afford good clothes, you should't be able to wear any clothes. Someone get her a burlap sack. I'm not picky what we have to cover."

Kat was mildly annoyed when she wandered into the cafeteria. It was too cold to be able to eat outside, and the library...where she usually spent her lunch period...had a class using it today. As a result, she had to eat in the cafeteria...a rare thing for her.

Rare or not, Kat had quickly learned not to eat the cafeteria food. At least not on certain days. Some days the food was reasonably edible, but today was not one of them. She'd brought her own lunch, and a book.

She saw a few people she got along well with, and paused here and there to exchange a few words with people. Though she was tempted to go to one of the empty tables for a bit of quiet, Kat instead ended up sitting at a table with a few other people who tended to spend their lunch period in the library as well. She noted that most of them had brought their own lunches as well.

Disinterested eyes followed the falling path of the nerd before flicking away. While it had been what was asked for it didn't fill the void of entertainment that had been sought. Nerds only provided momentary pause from the doldrums of high school life. There had to be something better to pass the time. The cafeteria was quickly filling up with students for the lunch period as the weather discouraged sitting outside or elsewhere. No doubt a group of them would dare to sit at the table as the room became fuller and then soon there would be no room left. As soon as they began to crowd in JP would be gone in a flash. Rubbing shoulders with the lower classes of students was not his preferred lunchtime activity.


"Yawn. Spreading rumors is getting so cliche. These people wouldn't know how to spread a rumor the right way if their very lives depended on it. So many vapid brainless infants running around. It's a wonder this country even still exists. It's a pity, so many attractive shells just devoid of personality and wit and intellect. Almost enough to turn me off men forever. Shame.

Falling forward, JP laid his head on the table in boredom. "Perhaps picking out a ripe target to bring down before the others with our superior wit would be enough to soothe the boredom within. Lord willing.I'm truly almost bored enough to go back to class...that thought alone frightens me."

Cas grinned as Nic turned to her and spoke of extra practice. That explained why she hadn't seen her earlier. She made a mental note to keep an eye on when games and such were. It would be fun to watch Nicole displaying her skills. Besides, there was always the chance the games themselves would be entertaining. Or at the very least a good place to enjoy the company of people.

"There was a moth," she signed. "It kept flying around the light. One of the guys in the back tried to throw his pencil at it, but missed, and the pencil stuck in the ceiling. He and a few others kept trying to knock it down by throwing paper balls at it, but none of them had good aim and finally the teacher told them to knock it off. It's probably still there."

It was not the sort of thing most people would find worth taking note of, but it was the type of thing that caught Cassia's eye. Something out of the ordinary, a break in monotony. Plus it had been pretty funny to watch.

She took the fruit cup that Nicole passed, returning the smile. "Thanks."

Alex smiled as he sneaked back into the school and acted as if he got a big brown paper bag from his locker but came from underneath his shirt. The teachers always suspected him from causing trouble and from time to time they would search him for no reason then he acted ‘to normal.’ He went through the cafeteria door and looked for a spot to sit which was easy if you towered over everybody out.

He could see one of the Brotherhood, Nicole, but he saw her more than enough at the home, further away he saw the bitch Emma for who he had a surprise later on but eating first before business and then he noticed the girl from the prom Kat. He had a good laugh with her so he had went to her table.

Arriving at the table he smiled as he gave a wave before sitting down. “Haven’t seen you here before. Are you lost stranger?” He joked as he put down his paper bag and started to pull out junk food from it. He had more than enough food for three though he could eat it all alone and not feel stuffed or gain weight.

Kat and the others at the table were in the middle of making fun of Twilight when she noticed her companions' attention had been diverted. She looked over as Alex joined them at the table. A few of the others looked at him funny...or...more accurately, at his hair...but scooted over to make room for him. "Hey, Alex" she said with a grin. "Long time no see. How've ya been?" she asked.

She looked to the food he'd brought with him and raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure that's going to be enough?" she teased, a small smile playing at the corners of her mouth. "Won't you be hungry again soon?"

Alex didn’t even react to the people who stared at his hair for it was a common thing that almost everybody did who saw him for the first time. He took a fast bite from a burger and had it disappear in the back of his throat in a matter of seconds.

“I have been doing good and soon I will be even better.” All you had to do was imagine some lightning effects and the evil plan scene would be complete. “And you’re probably right I might get hungry soon again but if you’re hungry as well you can grab a burger from the pile because I have fruit in my locker just in case. I am still a growing boy you know. So how have you been?” The first burger was gone not soon after as he grabbed some fries to make those disappear as well.

"That's good" Kat replied, wondering a little about the 'being better soon' part. She said nothing more on the matter though.

When he offered to share, she grinned. "I think I'm good, but thanks" she replied. Kat raised an eyebrow slightly at how fast he was eating, but again said nothing on the matter.

"I'm good. Keeping busy...trying to not fail chemistry. There's more math than I'd have thought, and I suck at it" she said in answer to his question. She made a face at the mention of math and chemistry. "Also trying to not fail math" she added with a grin.
