Marcus : what the flipping heck is on my plate!?!

Sam : it's squid.

Marcus : are you sure!?

Sydney : it's actually really nice, I tried it in Spain once.

Marcus : why's it so....slimy!?

Sam : stop touching it!

Marcus : what are these things?

Harper : the tentacles.

Marcus : why did you make me order this!?!

Sam : cause I wanted to see your face.

I began laughing hysterically as the tops of his lips raised in disgust.

Marcus : I am NOT eating that!

Martinus : ugh stop being such a sissy and just eat it!

Marcus : I'm not eating it! I don't care what any of you say!

He folded his arms and sat back in his chair like a stroppy teenager.

Sam : ugh come on!

Marcus : ok.

He suddenly sat up in his chair and picked up his fork.

Sam : well that was easy.

Martinus, who was sitting to my right, suddenly leaned over to me and whispered in my ear.

Martinus : he wants to impress you.

I looked round at him and shook my head as he raised his eyebrows, smirking. Marcus began picking the squid to pieces, trying to find the perfect part to eat as everyone else's lunch arrived in front of them. He eventually got a bit and picked it up on his fork as we all watched in excitement.

Marcus : don't watch me!

He began giggling nervously as we all suddenly stared at him with even more enthusiasm. He then took a deep breath before shovelling the fork-full in his mouth. Everyone was silent, waiting for his reaction. He chewed away, his eyebrows moving up and down.

Sam : so?

Marcus : I-It's good!

He eventually swallowed it with great struggle before baulking, making us all laugh at his attempt at lying.

We continued to eat our lunch. chatting, when a little girl, around the age of 6, arrived at our table. She had gorgeous long blond hair with a cute little princess hairband in. Her face was beaming as she smiled down at Marcus and Martinus sitting at our table.

Marcus : oh hello there!

Little girl : c-can I get a picture with you please?

Marcus : of course, Martinus come on.

They both got up from their seats as Martinus took the phone off of the little girl to take a selfie. The little girl looked so happy as she grinned at the camera, marcus making a silly face, making her giggle.

Little girl : thank you.

Marcus : no problem.

Martinus : nice to meet you!

She waved, skipping back to her mother at another table and showing her the picture. They both sat back down at the table and continued to eat their lunch, like that extremely adorable moment didn't just happen.

Marcus stopped eating and looked over at me smiling at me.

Marcus : what?

Sam : nothing.
