She knew that Kevin was picky and only liked to eat a particular food, and he had become a good cook because of that. If it were a choice between bad food and no food at all, he would choose the latter.
Sophia waited a little longer before heading to lunch. By this time, most of the first group of students had finished eating, and there were only a few people in line before the meal windows. Casually, she got some food and then, having finished, headed back to the classroom.
Lunch break was nice and long, and so Sophia continued to read when she got back.
A moment later, Louie came in. He sat in his seat and handed Sophia a plastic box.
Sophia was surprised. She didn't take it immediately but asked him, "What's this?"
"It's… I baked a few cupcakes myself." Louie said, with a hint of red in his cheeks, "Here you go."
"No, no. Keep it for yourself."
