Jared was fast to dig into the pasta not because he was driven by the contest's drive but rather because a part of him was scared Ariana would kill him if they lost the game so he ate with gusto.
What surprised him the most was that the lady sitting beside who looked like she could barely eat more than two spoons in a go had already eaten a huge gap in her side, making him wonder where all the food she ate went because it was barely invisible in her body.
He slid his eyes to the opponents to see how they were doing as he continued to stuff pasta into his face. The other team was going really badly as the woman was coughing probably because the food went down the wrong pipe.
As for their real enemy who was next to them, he and his friend were almost done with their pasta as though their servings were much smaller than the others.
