Cassie had decided that to avoid losing too much weight and becoming underweight, she really needed to eat something. She hadn't really ate a whole lot since the car crash, and it was starting to show. She didn't eat a whole lot anyway, since her parents didn't exactly treat her well. But it had gotten worse since the crash. Now, it was her not treating herself very well, instead of her parents. At least she didn't go down the path of drugs, smoking, and drinking like too many teenagers have done when they got into bad situations in life. Or sometimes, just getting into that. She wasn't that desperate to try to make herself feel better. She just embraced it, and dealt with how she would now be living likely the rest of her life. Sure, she thought of suicide a few times. But most of the time she didn't, and just dealt with how her life was now, hoping that maybe one day it would get better.
She stood up and went over to see what was cooking at the cook/teachers place, not expecting a whole lot out of it. Shyly, and quietly, she asked, "Do you have anything Vegan here?". Reading that it said "West Texas barbeque", she didn't expect much of anything to be on the Vegan level here. Even though she was from an island country far away from North America, she had done a fair amount of research on North America in her spare time of not being hit by a drunk dad. And when she researched Texas, their foods seemed to be heavily meat-based from what she saw. Corrian on the other hand banned everything BUT Veganism, but that wasn't why she was Vegan. She wanted to be Vegan anyway. If she didn't want to be, she could of easily asked for something else after all.
