Sylvia's POV:

Flora pulled me anxiously. "Keep your voice down!"

"God! There are so many snacks!" I exclaimed in a low voice.

Flora was holding a variety of junk foods in her arms, including fried chicken and chips. "Are these worms?" I asked while picking up a kebab -like thing.

"Yes, roasted silkworm pupae." Flora picked up another kebab, put it into her mouth, and closed her eyes dramatically as she slowly chewed it. "Yummy! Sylvia, give it a try!"

"No, no, no." I quickly returned the kebab to her. "Is there anything you don't eat?"

Flora sucked the residue on the bamboo skewer, pursed her lips, and thought for a moment. "I don't know yet."

Since she couldn't balance all the snacks in her arms, I took some for her. "Our school forbids us from eating junk food because they want us to become stronger. If someone finds you with these junk foods, all your credit points will get deducted."

Flora protectively hugged all the snacks in her arms and pouted. "I can't help it. What's the point in living without eating the food we like? I'd rather die." "Stop overacting!" I didn't know whether to cry or laugh. " didn't say that you can't eat junk food, but you better restrain yourself as much as possible."
