I'm still left with some time in lunch so it's not as if I'm completely without hope.

*if (nolucy =false)
	Lucy appears to have left somewhere, which I suppose is natural as she was obviously in a hurry, but
*if (notoby =false)
	Toby and his allies still remain at his table.
*if (nojessy =false)
	*if (jessy_name ="Jessy Stewart")
		Jessy remains, continuing to talk the hour away with her fellow social creatures, their food untouched.
	*if (jessy_name ="Classified")
		I still see the girl from third hour talking the feeding time away with her fellow social creatures, their food untouched.
*if (novi =false)
	*if (vi_name ="Vi Myrtal")
		Vi remains in the trance-like state I saw her in from the beginning, playfully smiling at her food as if it were talking to her.
	*if (vi_name ="Classified")
		I suppose I can still consider the girl from my art class who mysteriously ran off in the middle and is now playfully smiling at her food with seemingly little reguard for the world around her.
I do not fail to notice the gang remaining off to the side, headed by
*if (junior_name ="Junior Beach")
	Junior, the boy from the beginning of the day.
*if (junior_name ="Classified")
	a boy who appears to be in his third year.

Of course, I may just decide to sit by myself for now. It cannot be said that I did not put in the effort, and the encounter alone was draining. I would probably benefit from some time to myself.
