As our character and Nathan descended into the cafeteria, Nathan's enthusiasm was palpable.
Nathan: "I'm sure you're going to love this school."
****: "I hope I will."
Nathan: "You will, you will! Anyway, what do you want from me this time?"
****: "I don't need anything, thanks."
Nathan: "Don't take it the wrong way; you can tell me."
****: "Alright then, I'll have a lemon soda."
Nathan: "I'll order us both some toast. Is that okay?"
****: "Sure, go ahead. No problem."
Nathan quickly gathered the necessary items.
Nathan: "Let's sit over there and chat while we eat."
****: "Sounds good."
They settled down at a table and began their meal.
****: "Thanks again for everything."
Nathan: "No problem, I appreciate it."
****: "So, how are you with computers?"
Nathan: "To be honest, my main reason for coming here wasn't to learn hacking or improve my cybersecurity skills. I just wanted to play games on these computers, and I've succeeded."
****: "Wait, you mean you don't know anything?"
Nathan: "I know a little, but not much."
****: "How do you play games here without the teacher noticing?"
Nathan: "It's hard to play during class, but it's super easy during breaks. That's what makes it fun."
****: "What university are you planning to attend after high school?"
Nathan: "I have no idea; we'll figure something out."
****: "Alright."
Nathan: "Why did you come here? Was your previous school that bad, or was it just a casual switch?"
****: "My old school was terrible. I hated the classes, and the school hours were ridiculously long—almost from 8 AM to 4 PM. It felt like the day never ended; it was too much."
Nathan: "What the hell? That's an insane amount of time."
****: "Exactly! Plus, you had to sit through classes you didn't want to take. It was such a drag. This school is great; the class durations are short, and classes end around 1 PM. It's amazing; my time isn't wasted."
Nathan: "I'm glad you came here. We're going to have a blast."
****: "Definitely."
Nathan: "After school, we're going to a party with the guys. Do you want to come?"
****: "I don't know; I'll think about it. It might be good for me; I haven't had a proper fun time in ages."
Nathan: "Come on, it'll be good for you."
****: "I don't know, we'll see."
Nathan: "Alright, but let me know."
****: "Alright, don't worry."
Nathan: "Let's head to class; it's about to start."
Our character and Nathan made their way to class.
