Alea was walking down the corridor to get to the portrait of the bowl of fruit that lead to the kitchens. Smiling, she tickled the pear and watched as the portrait swung open allowing her in. She saw one of her best mates, Isolde Green there, and a school friend Lyra Vera sitting at the table. "You two couldn't wait until dinner either?" she asked them with a knowing smile. Isolde was always hungry but she never gained a pound due to the fact she was always exercising and she knew that Lyra had skipped out on lunch and breakfast so she knew the girl had to be hungry.
