The smell of grease and dough is always welcome to a Valkyrie Falcon's nose.
Probably because Valkyrie Falcons, mostly, had enough money to never worry about having bad skin. They could have that pimple gotten rid of in seconds, for a price, and most were willing to pay.
A prominent Valkyrie Falcon stood at the counter, ordering his usual lunch; a single-slice pineapple cheese pizza with a large Italian black cherry soda. He smiled, paying the cashier and taking a seat at the funky green and red booths, cheesy vinyl wrap over the bumpy cushions of the seats. He loved it here; it was the most down-to-earth place on campus. He was absentmindedly playing with his little tab, reading '32', and wishing someone he knew would come so they could talk during lunch.
He jumped slightly when his phone rang, his brunette hair falling slightly over his green-brown eyes as he glanced at the phone on his lap.
A text message;
"Hey, Antony,
I've got the project for Photography done. You?
-KK"
He smiled, replying with a quick "No" and putting his phone away.

Ashley opened the doors and walked in. It felt so good to be inside. The smell of freshly made pizza smelt really good considering she hadnt had it in ages.
Suddenly she noticed Antony. "Hey! It's you again!" She said while walking over to him. She plobbed down next to him.
"What did you order?" she asked looking at his food with a slight hunger. She looked back at him waiting for his answer. She crossed one leg over the other in a lady like manner.

Antony smiled and waved a polite 'Hello' to the girl, snapping up from a daze.
"Cheese and pineapple single." He said, simply, trying to blink the distraction from his eye. Suddenly, as if he had just realized she was there, he grinned widely, "Heyy. So, what are you doing here? Grabbing a bite? Or are you an arcade junkie like half the other people?" He asked, pointing his thumb towards a line-up of arcade machines, which only took student credit, and smiled. His freshmen friends, which he had very few of, loved coming here for the arcade games.
"How are your classes going?" He cocked his head to the side, his eyes bright, "Good, I hope."

Ashley giggle "I am here to get a small bite to eat" She said with a wide smile. "I am not much of an arcade junkie" she said with a little laugh. "I'm not that good at arcade games" she said with a straight face as she looked over at all of the people having fun playing the arcade games.
She took a moment to think about her classes before answering, "Ok, I guess" she said while looking down "I mean of course there are like one or two classes that I hate but otherwise they are great" she said her face turning into a smile.
She looked up at himand giggled. There was something about him that interested her but she didnt yet know what it was.

Antony opened his mouth to reply, but then shut it suddenly.
"Holy shit." He whispered, eyes wide, "There is music playing here." He laughed, shaking his head, "I've been coming here for lunch every day, ever since I can remember, and I never noticed that they have music playing." He suddenly burst out in laughter, shaking his head.
He blinked rapidly, shaking his head, "So, I'm going to go order some breadsticks. Want anything?" He asked, nodding towards the counter.

Ashley laughed "Ill have some breadsticks too thank you!" She started to hum to the lovely music. It was the one thing that she loved in life. She watched Antony good up and order the food, she smiled.
"Thanks Again" she said to him. She was about to go over there and order for herself but didnt. She couldnt help but feel rude for making him go up and order. She looked down in shame while waiting for him to come back.

Antony came back with a plate piled high with breadsticks, sticking his money back in his pocket.
"They didn't charge me," He laughed, "The cook likes me. They're on the house. Enjoy." He said, a smile gracing his face, "The ones on the left are cheesey-bread, the ones on the right are crazy bread."
He looking around the restaurant, remarking about how empty it seemed when a game hadn't just ended. A few kids resided in a corner booth, studying because Starbucks was too crowded, and some were playing arcade games, but other than that it was empty. With the exception of Antony and Ashley, of course.

"Sweet" She said hearing that it was free. She took money out of her pocket any way and handed hm two dollars. "Thanks for going up and getting this" she said with a laugh. Gosh, I am so weird, she thought to her self.
She bit her tounge, not knowing what to say! She hated the feeling of being speechless and it didnt happen to her ofter. She looked around at the few people amongst them then make at Antony. She took a peice of cheesy bread and bit into it. slowly she chewed it. She was never a fast eater. It tasted so good, mainly because she hadnt had it in so long.
She smiled and took another bite.

Antony laughed, pushing the money to her, "It was no big." He said, taking a generous bite of his cheesy bread.
He chewed, swallowed, took a sip of his drink, then spoke, "So, tell me more about yourself. Favorite band? Color?" He laughed, "Any embarassing childhood secrets? Like, you slept with a blankey until you were ten, or something?" He rolled his eyes, thinking of the gave of I Never his friends had been playing the other day.
It was always fun to watch, but Antony had never played. He didn't drink, so he didn't involve himself with drinking games.

Ashley rolled her eyes taking the money back and stuffing it into her pocket. "Childhood secerets" she repeated to herself "Thats a hard one" she laughed when she came up with one.
"Ok, well first of all I didnt know how to ride a bike until I was about 10 years old, and yes I have slept with my little baby blanket until about the age of 10 too" she laughed. "What a childhood I had" she laughed to herself.
"What about you?" she asked "What are your childhood secerets?" she asked raising one eyebrow. She took another bite of her cheesy bread.

Antony grinned, "I kept my binkie until I was eight." He said with a laugh, "I'm still amazed I never needed braces." He smiled, flashing his pearly-whites, "Oh! I still can't color inside the lines." He blushed, looking away. He failed coloring-101 as a child because he was incapable of coloring inside the the damn coloring sheet lines.
He was just that special; he couldn't stay inside the preset lines, he had to make lines of his own.

Ashley grinned "I always wanted braces but I never really needed them" she looked down "I dont know I have always been weird like that, I always wanted glassed, braces, and I always wanted to have chubby cheek!' She laughed
"I to this day stink at coloring" she laughed "I am good at all art except for coloring" she said under her breath.
"If you could describe yourself with one sentance what would it be?" she asked out of nowhere. She gave him a little smirk and took a sip of water from her water bottle.

Antony pretended to think, then said, in a very professional voice, "Antony Bastian is an amazing man, 'Nuff said."
He laughed, "No, uh. I don't know, I'd have to say something along the lines of..." He paused, thinking for real, "I'm the kind of person you only meet once in a lifetime; enjoy your time with me."
He smiled, looking away, "What about you?"

She thought about his coment "I like that one she said looking at is eyes. "Well, I guess I would say..." Ashley paused, she had asked so many people this question but no one has ever asked her back
"Um..." She was thinking deep now "I am a rollercoaster,yes I have my ups and downs but no matter how hard you try you cant help but have fun with me" She shrugged.
"I like your better but I guess mine pretty much sums me up," She looked down. Wow that was lame she thought to herself. She looked at the arcade games again. then at the group of people walking out the door.

He laughed, then followed her gaze to the arcade games.
He stood, motioning towards them, "Want me to teach you how to play?" He asked with a grin, pulling a Valkyrie Student Credit pass from his pocket. He always kept it with him.
"I will bet you ten dollars that I'll get you on the High Score list before we leave today." He said, confidently.
