"Yeah, last year was my first year here. It was crazy exciting to get accepted in here, ya know?" Megan responded, beginning to unwrap yet another fruit pie. "You really have a lot to look forward to!" She exclaimed before beginning to devour the second pie. After a few minutes of less than quiet chewing, she flipped upwards into a seated position, her prodigious chest bouncing slightly. "You really SHOULD try one of these suckers..." Megan stated, breaking off a portion of the unbitten end and extending it to Alice.
"Uh... No thanks, I um..." Alice stuttered, attempting to find an excuse to latch on to in order to refuse the delicious looking pie.
"No, I insist! Trust me, NewBee, you're gonna wanna start trying the food here, it's amazing!" Megan exclaimed, thrusting her hand towards Alice once again. Alice, realizing she was in a pickle, hesitantly accepted. And besides, she was hungry...
"MMMMMMM!Oh, my God! What's in those things!" Alice exclaimed a little more loudly than she intended, comically slapping her hands over her mouth in an overly shy manner.
Megan just laughed, popping the rest of the pastry into her mouth and swallowing rather quickly. "Heck if I know! All I know is that they're one of my favorite things here. But! You said I could have them all, no take-backsies!" Megan giggled loudly. "Although there's plenty of other things in here! Here, I'll find you something good..." She declared, rummaging through the pack yet again. "They usually throw in these really good chocolate caramel things... Hey, here they are!" Megan proclaimed, thrusting the pack triumphantly into the air. Of course, she had no way of knowing that Alice had already opened and sampled the goodies, and a few of them flew through the air, landing around the room. "Hey... It's already opened! Hmm..." Megan said aloud, as Alice fell to her hands and knees, scrambling around the room to pick up the flung candies.
Megan, of course, was easily able to put two and two together, and proclaimed rather loudly, "Ah-HA! So the Freshman was snacking before I even showed up! That's why you were acting so nervous!" She laughed loudly at the thought of someone actually being embarrassed about eating at Buttercombe. "Jeeze, you're going to stick out like a sore thumb if you don't relax a little, Alice." Megan said kindly, helping the distraught freshman up to her feet, the thrown candies clutched in Alice's other hand.
"Yeah... I know, it's just... Well, my sister went here, and she ended up as big as a house! And my Mom, she's this super strict health nut... Candy is kinda banned at our house." Alice responded, realizing as she spoke how incredibly silly it all sounded.
"Ah... I see. We get a lot of girls like that here. Well, I'm going to be the first to tell you this, but definitely not the last- the food here is top-notch. There simply isn't food like it elsewhere. Granted, I gained a few pounds my freshman year, but I'm not 'Big as a house'! Just don't worry about it. You deserve to ease up a little!" Megan said, giving Alice a big smile. "Trust me, this time next week, you'll be as lax about eating as everyone else here!"
