Chapter 17 - Noodles

The next day they met at school. Once they met they questioned Lissa whether she had informed her mom to pick all 4 of them up. Fortunately, she replied positively. They spent the day normally and happily for today the special at canteen was Lissa's signature main course that seemed to be light but actually heavy. Since it was one of her signature dish it meant the four of them could enter the kitchen and help make it hence they were excused from class where the reason was confidential and was known only to staff and none of the kids excluding the student council who were sworn to secrecy.

She calls it 'Black Noodles' where they boiled the noodles from packets they get with Masala. While the noodles were being boiled, in a wok garlic had been burnt using ghee then along with the masala packets that came with noodles they added a lot of dried parsley and less dried basil when compared to parsley then some salt and Indian red chili powder. Once these spices were added a heartful amount of dark soy sauce was added following about a few dollops of ghee. This mixture in the wok was mixed thoroughly then, the boiled and strained noodles were added to the wok accompanying some finely sliced or diced vegetables were added in so picky eaters couldn't take them out. The burnt garlic enhances the flavourful taste of this noodles.

Every time this dish was made the staff always kept some aside for the quad till they tidied themselves and came to eat like normal students. This dish was wantedly made enough for only 50 students each period of lunch (each class had different timings hence it was divided to batches and only 50 students were able to obtain it for no student could get more than 1 serving) so it was always a competition for those who preferred the noodles. Although the noodles looked as if they were dead and were attracting death it was quite delicious. Hence another way to prove that looks can be deceiving.

During lunch period for ninth the students rushed out of class quicker than usual but the girls needn't worry. Usually they waited for 10 minutes in class this time they left in 5 andby the time they went down all were already in their places and the noodles were already done.

They talked happily to the staff then took their share of noodles along with other stuff on their tray and went to their usual table as usual they had many eyes to which they were oblivious. As they almost started to dig in to their food Ophelia let out a little "Eep!". For someone had sneakily patted her shoulder catching her off guard.

They turned around to see Geoffrey there. "How come you people always get some of the noodles although you are late?" he asked. Tessa had moved Adora a little by pushing her chair.Noticing Tessa and Lissa had ignored him and started eating Adora and Ophelia did the same. Tessa had moved Adora's chair that is how they communicated when they came across someone they found who was stubborn and made them blab. Since they ignoreed him Geoffrey was starting to grow that's when Yi put his palm on his shoulder and took him away in order to keep him from bursting on spot.
