Food on the Brain
WHO: Aktamun Semesses and Mani Clarke
WHEN: Tuesday, May 15th
WHERE: between classes
Mani followed the herd of students out the classroom door and into the hallway. He headed toward the main hallway, navigating through classmates going in a variety of directions, then up the stairs and down another hall and around the corner, where a row of lockers lined one wall. He’d been given a locker there to use and was making ample use of it so far. He still didn’t know what he needed to bring to classes, so Mani was erring on the side of caution, bringing everything he might possibly need. He couldn’t carry all of that for all of his classes at once, so he needed to make locker stops to switch out the contents of his bag.
Stopping in front of his locker, Mani set his bag on the ground. He spun the combination to the locker and tugged on the lock, opening the space up. Though it was new to him, it already appeared fairly cluttered and not terribly well organized. He’d deal with that when he had more time. Mani quickly emptied his bag and filled it again, getting what he needed for English class. He was about to close his locker door when he caught a whiff of a scent, za’atar, an appetizingly fragrant spice blend that was familiar to him. Mani grown up smelling it at many a mealtime back home in India. His brow furrowed in curiosity. Was there a cooking class in this hall? Or a teacher lounge? Some place that had some very tasty smelling food? It wasn’t yet lunchtime, but Mani was distracted by this, he wanted to investigate. He slowly shut his locker door and stepped away from it, not really paying attention to any other students around him.
