No issues here

I could use the ring to make Regina a student here. Then she would have an ID no problem and be able to get in. But, that was like bringing a lake to quench a campfire. As soon as I had thought about using the ring to change that, there was a stinging sensation in my hand. Not a flaring sensation like what happened when I would use the ring, but a sharp sting, like the ring was warning me not to do what I was thinking. This only raised further questions about the ring, but before I could do anything, I was at the front of the line already.

"ID?" a gruff looking security worker asked, standing behind a register. I am very thankful this school takes security seriously, but it was a pain sometimes. I fished for my ID, trying to come up with some solution to get Regina in.

"Ah, Vanessa, Maria, and I presume this is the cute someone that you mentioned?" Standing there at the entrance, waiting to greet us, was Summer, still in her very nice dark blue business suit with a white button-up underneath. Though, she was also wearing some white half-gloves, the kind that covered the fingers and a bit of the palms, but now all the way down to the wrists. I never understood their purpose, but she did look really nice wearing them. She bowed to us as I showed my student ID to the man, then noticed Regina hesitate and looking confused. "Your friend, she is not a student, is she?"

"No, she's not," I said. I looked down at the ring, thankful that Summer was here so I didn't have to use it. '...Dammit Maria. Now the whole night is going to be Regina missing out on this...'

"Here you are, sir," Summer said, breaking me out of my thoughts. She handed the man a couple of bills, which he put into the register. The man nodded, and Summer gently dragged Regina through by the hand. "What? Non-students can eat here too. They just have to pay money."

"I didn't know that," I said, blushing. "I'll make sure to pay you back somehow."

Summer chuckled at me and gave me a gentle pat on the head. "Relax, Maria. It was only $10." Right. Summer works for Danna, who is bourgeoisie. "Now then, Danna is waiting patiently. Shall we head to the table?" The three of us nodded and Summer led the way.

Now, there were three dining places on campus. The first was Dining Hall A. It was like a restaurant where you went in, you sat down, and ordered your food. It took the longest to get your food, but it was ran by the culinary branch, so it had the best food. Then there was Dining Hall C, which was just our fancy name for the campus food court. Quickest food for the quickest quality. Finally, Dining Hall B, where we were, which was a buffet style place. There were tables all through out the place. You just claimed a table, then went up and got your food and came back. This was the place to go for people with a medium amount of time, and those who really liked the food here.

Danna was the latter. When we got to the circular table, she already had a plate with some mashed potatoes, a small mountain of broiled chicken, and fries. How did this girl keep her figure so well!? As soon as she saw us, she got up from her chair and rushed over, wrapping her arms around my neck. She was wearing a beautiful yellow sleeveless dress that had an adorable bee pattern all over. It had a nice deep V and the dress reached down to her knees. She had on a pair of black leather boots that nearly went up to her knees. Her hair was wavy and she smelled like peaches. She smiled at me, then looked and smiled at Vanessa and Regina.

"Oh, I'm so glad that you all came," Summer said, translating Danna's hand gestures.

"Of course," Vanessa said, coming over and giving Danna a kiss on the cheek. "Like we'd turn down a date invitation from someone as awesome as you." Danna blushed before giving me a kiss on the lips, then going to sit down. "Oh, right," Vanessa said, gesturing to Regina. "This is Regina. Regina, this is Danna and this is Summer." They both waved at Regina.

"Oh, hey, nice to meet you, beautiful," Regina said, giving Summer a wink. She turned her attention over to Danna and began to speak back to her in sign language. Danna's eyes went wide as she signed back.

"You know sign language?" Summer asked as we took our seats around the table. I sat between Danna and Vanessa, with Regina on Vanessa's right and Summer on Danna's left.

"Yep, I'm fluent in a lot of things," Regina said as she continued to have a silent conversation with Danna. Danna's wide eyes and happy expression; I'll admit, I was a little jealous of Regina.

Still, it was nice to have the five of us together, just having a dinner date. But, was that all we'd do? I mean, we were in a more secluded area of the dining hall.
