"Where should we sit?" Emerald asks as we walk around through the small room with only a few stools, which might I add, are already taken. "Does it matter? All the stools are taken, we'll have to sit on the floor wherever" I say looking around at the fifteen people here, if you don't have a lunch you usually go outside and sit on the grass so there are never many people here. Only the towns kids and teens who can afford lunches. Emerald doesn't have a lunch, she never does, she's just here to keep me company. "Ok, let's sit over there" she says pointing to an empty space in the right corner of the room. "Sure" I say walking over and sitting down. They should at least put down a cloth or something, ugh. As I pull out what my mom put in my bag, I see there is more than just a piece of stale bread, there's cheese! I will never understand my mom, she could have used this cheese for herself, or for a nice breakfast, not on my lunch. "Here, take this" I say to emerald as I hand her a piece of cheese and half a piece of my bread, "you can spread the cheese on your bread" "what? No! I can't take your food, you hardly ever get a lunch let alone cheese!" "I know, and you NEVER get a lunch, and I think I've seen you have cheese probably twice in your life" I say pushing it back into her hands "fine" she says pretending to feel defeated, but you can see in her eyes that she is genuinely happy that she can finally have a lunch, even if it is stale bread, the cheese will make it ten times better and you won't even remember that it's stale. "Mm, is this goat cheese?" Emerald asks finishing her last bite "I think so" I answer finishing mine, and even though I ate, I am starving, but to be fair I hardly ever eat and it was a really small lunch. "I want more, I'm still super hungry" Emerald says, and I can literally hear her stomach growling and I'm sure she can hear mine too. "Me too, but that's all I had" I answer sadly while looking through my empty bag, when looking up at the clock I realize that I really need to gain a better sense of time. We gotta get going! I wish they had the bells working. "Emerald! We gotta go!" I tell her as I point to the clock "oh, yeah let's go" she says walking off to class with me right next to her.
