After the students of Morrisons had familiarized themselves, a resonant bell echoed, accompanied by an announcement declaring dinner time.

"So, guess what? After my dad saw my brother counting the money, he was like, 'What goes on, son?'" Madelyn shared, prompting laughter from Nicole and Clara. Ashley, attempting to stifle her laughter, found it infectious.

"Come on, Ash, be fun, let out a little giggle," Madelyn encouraged, and Ashley complied, joining in the laughter.

"Okay, so I have this idea. After dinner, let's have a sleepover. Just stay awake and have some fun," Madelyn suggested, her smile radiating perpetual joy.

"Yes!" Nicole and Clara exclaimed in unison. Ashley already felt a sense of comfort with them, and Madelyn's infectious energy was genuinely enjoyable.

They all emerged outside, with Ashley locking the door. To her dismay, the proud "bastard" (Raphael) from earlier was also shutting his door. Her smile faded, the pleasant time with Madelyn and the girls interrupted by an encounter with him. She shot him a long, hard death glare, rolled her eyes, and turned to leave.

"Oh, look at that hot girl," Tranio whispered to Ralph.

"Dude, can't you talk about anything else? Besides, she's not 'hot'; she's irritating," Ralph replied, visibly disgusted by Tranio's words. Tranio grinned.

"Dude, is that the girl you got into a brawl with?" Tranio asked, surprised.

"Yeah, why?" Ralph inquired.

"You said she was ugly," Tranio pointed out, looking at Ralph, who nodded.

"No, so far, I think she's the hottest girl in Morrisons High," Tranio declared, smiling at Ralph.

"Pfft," Ralph scoffed, walking ahead of Tranio and entering the dining room, where he joined Bryan and Collins.

"Dude, check out that girl," Collins said, becoming more comfortable and less shy with his friends. They turned to see a stunning beauty entering the dining room.

"Dude, I think she's coming over here!" Bryan's deep voice echoed, and the girl walked up to their table.

"Hey, can I sit?" she asked, smiling at them.

"Um... yes," Collins replied nervously, and Tranio and Bryan nodded. She smiled at Ralph, who moved to make space for her.

"Thanks, I'm Bianca. You guys are?" she asked, still fixated on Ralph.

"I'm Tranio."

"I'm Bryan."

"I'm... I'm... I'm... Collins," Collins stammered.

"Okay, and you are?" she asked, turning to face Ralph completely.

"What?" Ralph asked, confused, dropping his cutlery as he had not been paying attention.

"What's your name?" Bianca inquired.

"Raphael," Ralph replied without looking at her.

"Wow, such a cute name," she commented, holding Ralph's hand. He quickly withdrew his hand, glaring at her, and resumed eating his dinner.

Dinner concluded, and Bianca continued chatting with them, though Ralph made an effort to ignore her most of the time.

"Hey, can I escort you guys to your room?" she proposed.

"Yeah, sure, why not?" Tranio replied as they all stood to leave. Ralph shoved his hands in his pockets, and to his irritation, Bianca interlocked her hand with his. They were walking out of the dining room when they collided with Ashley, and her milk spilled all over Ralph's clothes.

"Um, I'm..." Ashley stammered, unsure of what to say. Bianca stepped in front of Raphael.

"Bitch, don't you know that his entire outfit could buy you?" Bianca yelled, drawing attention from everyone in the hall.

"Oh, really? Tell me more," Ashley retorted. Madelyn and the girls surrounded her, and she took the carton of milk, pouring the remaining contents over Bianca's silk blonde hair.

"I think there's still some in here," Ashley remarked, grabbing the other carton from her tray and pouring it over Bianca's head. Bianca stood in shock, staring at her now milk-drenched, expensive gown.

Ralph couldn't help but stifle a laugh, and the hall echoed with laughter. Ralph left Bianca and departed with Tranio, Collins, and Bryan, leaving them all still staring at the milk-soaked scene.
