There weren't many options to take when it was summer at Lunar Academy. Mostly, friends just were with each other content of just having a day without classes and work. Some of the students that misbehaved still had to work for maintenance or else in the cafeteria. in fact Jessica Webb was working behind the counter that day, washing the counters before the staff served food to the students. Patiently, Synyster waited alone at a table in the farthest corner of the lunch room. Typical. He was usually found alone anyways. The cafeteria was just a place that he would not normally be seen. The blank walls, the blank table set, the typically blank expression on the people's face; it was just something that wasn't very Synyster.

It was almost as if he was waiting for someone, or something. Constantly darting he was darting his head and eyes around. When someone walked past him, his gaze made it seem like he was waiting for them to sit down. But when they walked by oblivious he seemed relieved. It was a pattern. Truthfully, Synyster was in the cafeteria because he knew that it would be the last place his sister would expect him to be. Partly, he suspected she was stalking him and had actually followed him into the lunch room, but so much time had passed by it seemed like he was actually safe. Finally his back unarched itself and his head collapsed into his hands. He started rubbing his temples until the sound of someone sitting down caught his attention. It was frightening at first, so he immediately looked up to see who sat down with him.
