lunch

Regina's pov

When I get to our lunch table lee is already sitting there. She pulls out six sushi rolls, well run roll cut into six pieces, a container of broccoli for lunch and whichever Naked drink is purple.

" Hello little lee." I say as while giving a lee a hug and sit down.
Lee's is wearing beautiful short long sleeve blue dress and loads blue jewelry you can't really see her muscles, other than her thigh muscles but she still looks great.

" Hey gina, miss body positive intuitive eating queen I must know do you approve of my simple sushi lunch today ?" Lee inquires while giving my left arm a pinch.

" Oh hush, I'd never judge anyone for what they choose to eat, if your happy I'm happy. " I smile and un pack my chicken strips and potatoe salad.

" Ohhhh myyy gosh not this again." Cate dramatically groans while setting down her light green bento box.

" I love you Regina but please I can not take anymore constant body positivity crap from you right not. I swear food weight, scales and eating is all we ever talk abou! Whatever happened to shopping and new movies to watch. " Cate angrily explains while throwing her body down on the bench.

Dang that's a bit rude, I know she's going through it but shut up. Like Regina only said one thing and I asked.

" Whatever Cate, what did you bring for lunch? Little Miss soup. "

" Mushroom soup, dried tomatoes and chia seed water with lemon. It's actually not that bad the texture doesn't get to me. But I just try not to look at it. " Cate remarks before taking a sip.

Emma and Rebecca walk up together just in time to hear Cate talking about her, probably disgusting seed water.

" Oh I've heard about that and 100 other things on TikTok, should I give it a try?I mean gosh you guys avoid junk food like it's a sport. " Rebecca immediately questions.

" I like it, makes me feel awake , and I've noticed my stomach is a bit flatter maybe just water weight. " Cate responds

" My lunch today is 3 lovely veggie and pork rolls. An apricot, and a beet juice, does our queen Regina approve?" Emma asks while taking her first bite.

" Yes of course my love." Emma looks great today we have on mmwcthing red and black skirts and white tub tops. She has on a one Alhambra van Cleef necklace but I went with an initial necklace from Francesca's.

" Well guys, all of your diet tips have been helping me out a bit, in the last three weeks I've lost about 11 pounds in the grand scheme of things it's not a lot of weight but it's still a large step for me!"

" Congrats babe!" Lee says reaching over to give Rebecca a high five she happily returns.

" I knew you would." Cate claims while calmly scooping up some of her soup.

I swallow a piece of my chicken and give Rebecca a quick high five. I smile at Emma who the says.

" That's a lot of weight, if you like yourself that's good but make sure your being careful love."

That's surprising coming from Emma, maybe it has something to do with her jealousy, or recent, very slight weight gain. Which by the way is definitely muscle.

" Thank you guys I appreciate it, I've been using all your tips, and brought chicken samosas for lunch today along with a cucumber avocado salad, but I won't deny myself a sweet treat SI I had to add in my sprite zero" Rebecca says with pride and giggles.

Before I can say anything lee rapidly interjects.

" I feel you girl. Diet soda used to be my life, but all those chemicals and caffeine mess me up. now I drink these naked juices so I can mix in my creatine without seriously tasting it."

" Good for both of you honestly, eat what makes you happy!" I exclaim while I bite into another chicken strip.

" I totally agree" Cate says it's only been about ten minutes but she powered through that soup and is chugging more water.

" You all now I'm in adult living, maybe I could suggest to my teacher that we make on of the hundreds of TikTok recipes? Maybe cloud bread or that cheesy tomatoes pasta ?" Emma gently asks while biting into her finale role.

" Great idea! " Rebecca says, as she stacks cheese on top of her cracker.

" Maybe try Bella Hadids pasta recipe." I tenderly suggest, I'll loose it if she blows up on me again.

" That's actually a great idea Regina, I'll bring it up to my teacher." She says calmly for once.

" Ugh, speaking of classes my biology class stresses me out I swear I'm inches away from skipping the class for the rest of the year. Not only is the class boring but two of the boys are still beyond butt hurt I beat them in arm wrestles. " Lee says as she finishes her last piece of broccoli.

" That is so relatable, I hate my chemistry class it's incredibly boring. " Emma says. Science has always been her least favorite subject though so I take it with a grain of salt.

" I know right science is absolutely not my thing. I love history and creative writing though." Lee remarks as she begins to pack up her Tupperware from lunch.

" I get that, I'm still rocking my straight A's but I feel so distracted and foggy during class. " Rebecca interjects.

" Drink more water during class" Cate provides as a solution just as our lunch bell rings.

Once again we all quickly hug and rush off on our separate ways.
