Cafeteria | Valhalla High SchoolIt didn't take long at all for Nicholas to finish his meal. As if he were a man that had been starving for days, Nicholas ate his food with great haste, all while taking care not to make a mess. If anyone had been watching, they would have only seen that the fork he had was constantly moving into the food, then into his mouth, constantly alternating between the two. Meanwhile, in the time it would take for the fork to reach the food and back to his mouth, he had already quickly chewed his food up into rather small pieces with his front teeth, only to move it back to his molars as the next chunk of food entered his mouth. When the fork made a third trip, he would swallow what was chewed by his back teeth, cycle the food in the front to the back, and begin chewing what he had just put into his mouth. This cycle of eating allowed him to finish his entire meal within close to five minutes, leaving him with little else to do but sit there with his empty tray.
Nicholas quietly looked down at his tray as he contemplated how quickly he ate this time. It was close to some odd personal record, but he had eaten faster before. Some people may have considered this particular eating habit to be odd, but Nicholas found it to be a rather helpful skill to know, especially if one was hard-pressed for time. Besides, now that Nicholas had already eaten his food, he could now spend the rest of the period listening to music. It was a relaxing way to pass the time, and it was something he could do without ever getting bored.
With that in mind, Nicholas stood up from the table he was at, took his tray, and placed it into the return receptacle. After that, Nicholas returned to his solitary spot at the empty table and sat down before pulling out what appeared to be a portable music player, putting his earbuds in his ears, and tuning the rest of the world out.
