Adrian stared at the vegan section and his eyes grazed each item until he found some fried rice with different vegetables with tofu. He pointed to the item in silence looking up at the others.
 
"I'm not quite sure what I would like actually, most definitely something with steak". He said still an obvious expression of embarrassment. It was rare to see such a face on him.
 
"ah.. don't you ever have to worry about leftovers spoiling quickly?" She picked up her bag and rummaged through it. "I cant find it..." she mumbled. Her hands rechecked pockets one more time before finally giving up. She "ticked" a few more times. It was always worse when she thought about it, so she went back to looking at the menu, even though there was nothing else that interested her.
 
Cady slid Ritas notebook across the table, smiling faintly.


"Dropped." she muttered, chewing her sleeve again.
 
Adrian folded his menu closed and set it on top of his notebook and pen, he reached into his pocket and brought out his phone setting it on the table screen up next to his other items quietly, not liking the weight in his pocket. He stared at the tables surface his black hair falling over his eyes.
 
The waiter walked to the table, and asked if they were prepared to order Apollo looked up and said "I'll have a steak medium rare, that's all" the wait her then said "it's uncanny how much you look like Apollo Barrett , do you get that often?" Apollo simply replied "Sometimes."
 
"Ill have the Sun dried tomato sandwich.." Rita looked at the Note pad, then ticked one more time, a large one that moved her shoulders. Her face went red and she grabbed the book, smiling more nervously than anything else. "Thanks for picking it up.. excuse me." She got up calmly and walked into the girls bathroom. She felt her heart drop into her stomach as she flipped it open and looked inside.
 
Adrian watched Rita leave before re-opening his menu, his palms where clammy as he lifted the menu to the waitress and pointed to the Tofu Fried Rice. After she nodded and wrote it down Adrian set it onto the table and tapped Apollos leg wondering if he knew what was up with Rita.
 
Cady looked up at the waiter "S-s-s-s-s" The lump in her throat prevented her from speaking. She could feel herself go bright red. Tears forming in her eyes. The waiter was judging her. She could tell.
 
"A salad" Apollo finished for her. The waiter left, and Apollo looked to Cady "You should go check and see if Rita's alright".
 
Cady smiled in thanks at Apollo. She glanced over at Adrian briefly before leaving the table, walking to the bathroom. She opened the door slowly, placing a hand on Ritas shoulder.


"yyyyou okaaaay?"
 
Rita leaned against the wall, flipping through it. How could she slip up like that? Ticking in front of somebody who she made friends with, she didn't want to be made fun of. She hated how people would judge her for such a stupid thing. She didn't want to be looked at funny.
 
Once Cady left Adrian fumbled with his notebook pages before finding an empty one and wrote to Apollo 'what's with this whole Apollo Barrett deal?' Adrian slid the paper towards Apollo quietly.
 
As she left, a man approached the table. He stood tall at about 6'5, broad shoulders, a burly large man with a shaved head and a beard. He wore a nice tuxedo,that seemed out of place. He then spoke in a thick English accent "Master Barrett, I saw you through the window while I was out here picking up a few things. And I see you've met a friend". Apollo introduced the stranger "Adrian, this is Zedric"<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_01/image.jpg.39b7f99d90a2d4d52527b244be9ac2c7.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="12461" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_01/image.jpg.39b7f99d90a2d4d52527b244be9ac2c7.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>

She nodded hands twitching, expression helpless. "Please return to dinner.. it's not important." She didn't bother looking up.
 
Adrian's heart began to race at the sudden man, he looked odd and didn't blend in with this cozy themed restaurant. Adrian slid his palms down his jeans and nodded to the man nervously his fingers tapping his thigh. Adrian looked from the man to Apollo with a fearful look full of confusion as if asking master?
 
Cady stood there awkwardly "I-I-I didn't read it." She still felt humiliated by the waiter and now her inability to help Rita. She slinked out of the bathroom and back into the booth, feeling her insides crush. She just wanted to curl up.
 
Rita felt horrible. She meant no harm. She just didn't like being looked at. "Im horrible.. aren't I..?" She said out loud to herself.
 
Zedric greeted both Cady and Adrian warmly "I'm Zedric Williams" he said with a bow. "I am Master Barrett's legal guardian, it's a pleasure to meet friends, and your name is Madame?" He asked Cady with a gentle smile.
 
Cady looked up at him,mouthing wordlessly. She looked over at Adrian. "Cady." She managed to say a little too loudly. Not taking her eyes off of the boy opposite her.
 
Adrian placed his hands back in between his lower thighs his hands shaking nervously. The man looked nothing like Apollo so it made sense that he wasn't his father or grandfather, Adrian had wanted an answer for the whole Apollo Barrett ordeal but he didn't imagine something like this. He felt Cadys eyes on him and looked over at her his bangs falling over his eyes once again.
 
Rita decided that she wasn't going to leave until they were gone. It wasn't about what was inside the note pad. All she did was draw in it anyways. Soon they would find out she's weird, then they would stop wanting to be around her. Cady already doesn't want to, because she was mean to her. She started furiously sketching inside the book, knees infront of her and back on the wall. She would wait it out.
 
"Pleasure to make your acquaintance" Zedric said as he pulled up a chair. Apollo then said "I guess I'll tell you guys the story after dinner. In the meantime we need to see if Rita's alright" to which Zedric replied with eyebrows raised looking at Barrett with a smile "One would assume this Rita you're concerned about is a girl". Apollo looked back with an embarrassed expression.
 
'This man is strange' Cady signed to Adrian. She wanted to lean across the table and brush his hair out of his face. She looked around, wondering when Rita would come back.
