Lunch Time
This story starts at a high school. This high school was special in the fact that it is a completely average high school. The school it self was old but through the years had gotten remodeled to fill in more students as the small town had grown over the past many years. The school was not without its social clicks; jocks, nerds, the darks, the artist, the cowboys, and the normal crowd of those who where from the wrong side of town. This story talks of a group that was something else. This group was a group of dreamers.
They had somehow, by luck of showing off there love of there favorite shows and stories in either key chains, t-shirts, and folder covers found each other. Lunch time was the best time, as it was when these girls could gather with each other. The girls gathered at a large circle table that was usually the center most table in the commons room. The schools cafeteria and lunch room where next to the commons room. The school had so many students, the commons room acted like a second dinning area. Together they would talk movies and cartoons, trade comics, and in the right mood and with enough time play a game.
This was a normal day at the table. And as like most days Katie, the oldest yet smallest arrived last. Katie didn’t rush to the lunch room like the others as she didn’t eat lunch at school as it made her sick. She would maybe buy a drink but would go home quickly after school and have lunch then. Katie also had her advance art class right before lunch so cleaning up usually took a bit of time. As Katie got to the table Alicia, her own best friend from junior high was just sitting down with a bowl of rice and chicken. Alicia with her multi-color hair that never seem to be in the same style twice in a row sat next to the girl with long blond hair eating a slice of pizza. The pizza was missing its cheese and the girl would now slowly eating off the tomato sauce, this was normal for Crystal. Across from Crystal at the table where two more girls; one with strawberry blond hair and the other with plum purple hair. The one with strawberry blond hair was eating nachos whose name was Krista. The one with purple hair was half way through her own bowl of chicken and rice whose name was Jen. This was the group of dreamers.
Katie sat down and Krista looked up with a little bit of sadness in her eyes.
“No new comics?” Krista asked the now seated Katie.
“Didn’t have time to go to the comic store this past weekend, I got called into work. But I do have this weekend off and now will have more money to spend. So I was thinking of going to the mall. Anyone want to join me?”
“I’ll have to ask my mom, but I’d love to.” Krista said with a glee-full smile.
“I’m good to go.” Jen said.
Jen was now done with her chicken and rice and stared to make her bowl and chop sticks into a flying saucer.
Crystal nodded to Katie as a yes to going to the mall and finch off the bread of her pizza and added her paper plate to the now forming paper city in the middle of the table.
“I don’t know…” Alicia rolling her eyes.
“What, got a date?” Crystal said.
“No. Fine, I’m in.” Alicia said, kind of disappointed not to have a date but ok as long as she was with friends.
The warning bell then rang, noting that the girls needed to get ready for there last class of the day. It was Monday, and through out the week the girls then planned that they would meet in the commons after school on Friday and Katie would drive them all to the mall. Things had popped up in the week making it so the girls would only be able to gather together on Friday. But they planned that after they go to the mall, they go back to Katie’s to watch some anime and have ice cream. It was going to be a very fun Friday.
