The bell rings for lunch so i swiftly swipe my stuff up and walk through the long halls, tuning out the pointless chatter of the other students. Dont their voices ever get sore from talking all the time? I reach my locker, unlock it and shove my belongings into it as i replace them with my five dollars for lunch.
" Turkey or ham?" The lunch lady asks. I point to the turkey as she plops it on my tray. She also adds a water and bowl of fruit. I nod my head in thanks and pay then walk to a small table in the back. Only three or four people could fit but i usually sit alone. I take a bite into the turkey sandwich when another tray is placed down infront of me. I look up and see joel sitting across from me. I glare at him but he just grins.
" so addison, yes i learned your name, why is it that you dont talk?" He questions. I roll my eyes and keep eating. He looks at me skeptically.
" that chic hannah says its because you're mentally challenged. I mean there's nothin wrong with that but i dont think that's it. i know thats not it." He states. I stay unresponsive and i think he knows im not going to talk but he continues anyway. I tune him out and finish my lunch then get up abruptly , leaving him with a shocked stare on is face.
