WADE'S POV

 Hector grabs my hand and leads me out into the hallway. It kinda feels weird to have his hand grab my since he's a skeleton...

We walk for a while until we come into the dining room, the table is made out of polished wood and it's EXTREMELY long. I see that they already have all of plates and utensils set up. Plus, all of the skeletons are there now.

Hector grabs the nearest chair when we reach the table and does a jokingly bow while indicating me to sit down. I turn red of embarrassment whenever he bowed because now all of the skeletons are staring at us now. I sit down and look around to see what kind of food they're serving.

A skeleton chef called out from the kitchen that it would be about 30 minutes until the food is ready. Great.

I fiddle with my fingers and I pretend I don't notice the stares from most of the skeletons. The silence is making me uncomfortable, I wanted to talk so badly but I don't even know what skeletons talk about. So to save me from the skeletons being weirded out by my questions I just stay silent. 

Hector keeps glancing over at me, I'm guessing he kinda wants me to talk to them. He elbows me in my arm and whispers to me in a volume that I can barley hear, "Don't be shy! They won't bite." I nod and shyly wave at the skeletons across from me. They look shocked but do the same thing.

What felt like forever in silence the food was finally ready. And it looked... okay?

It kinda looked like this

I wasn't sure if it was food coloring or if it was LITERALLY green. I wanted to puke if it wasn't food dye. It had icing? Is that icing? I hope it is. And whipped cream on it. And.. hearts? Why hearts? Is it supposed to be lovey-dovey or creepy hearts? 

I glance over at Hector to see if he was going to eat his already or if we had to do something before we ate. He just started eating and so did the rest of the skeletons. Great. I didn't want to be impolite but I also didn't want to eat it. I didn't want to seem ungrateful in front of the other skeletons so I just ate it.

The green....It was.... food dye.. thank gosh. Overall, I guess it was pretty good. I grab another piece with my fork and eat it. I didn't know if there was a "proper" way to eat like a skeleton. Heck, I just found out that they eat!

After I finish eating I stay in my seat but look for a sink or anywhere to put the plate. Since I'm the first one done I don't know what to do. So, I just sit there awkwardly in my chair. 

This was going to be fun...

Splitting this up into two parts because I've kept this in my drafts for too long and I need to post it. I ran out of ideas for this chapter, also where I live it's getting late so I needed to finish this chapter. Sorry it's been a few days. I know I promised this chapter a few days ago but I was busy. I had to do a parade/float that my school was doing, and we got first place but we got demoted because we had a little Baby Jesus manger with a doll in it (they literally told us that lol) and other floats had Nativity scenes and other stuff but we got disqualified. I don't really care since we still got a trophy(it's like 5 inches) and it was freezing but they told us to wear pajamas to the float. And I literally have no long sleeve pajamas so I got even more sick. And I'm still sick
