NAME:  Penelope Archer<br/>ROLE IN SCHOOL:  Student<br/>TIME OF DAY:  Noon<br/>LOCATION:  Cafeteria<br/>TAGGING:  Jessica Reynolds<br/><br/>Paint stained her face and her clothes.  But it was never anything she'd minded before, and it wasn't something she minded now.  Even if other students were stopping and staring, she paid them no heed, didn't seem to notice the looks or murmurs at all.  She went through the line, looking at the selection, before spotting something definitely familiar to her palette.  Chicken and dumplings.  Hoping that it was flavorful, and not a pasty mess, Pen requested the meal and took the offered bowl, as well as a couple of rolls, then turned to find a table.<br/><br/>Most of the tables were crowded.  It seemed the school was quickly dividing into little cliques, people quickly filling into the niches of the social ladder.  Penelope had always been one to walk to the beat of her own drum; she didn't really fit with any one social group.  She looked around and, seeing a girl that appeared to be dozing off over a bowl of chili, she sat down across from her and a couple of seats down.  Her eyes were on the other girl as she began to eat her own food, concerned that the girl was going to tip forward and splatter into her chili any minute.  But soon the girl's eyes snapped open and Pen looked away, now minding her own business as she continued to eat.
