"MY FOOD!" Jason yelled out as he rushed to where Christy dropped the tray.

He knelt down on the cafeteria floor and picked up the morsels of chicken wings. Jason then began eating it. The kids in the cafeteria were watching the fight between Christy and Samantha as well as Jason eating the chicken wings on the floor. Jerry saw the dismay of his friend and quickly ran to his aide.

He crouched down on the floor next to Jason and put his hands under his armpits and tried to pick him up.

"It's over bro! Just let it go." Jerry said as he struggled to pick his friend up.

Jason began to sniffle. Bits of chicken wing were all over his face, as well as barbeque sauce.

"It can't be!" Jason yelled out. He was in total disbelief.

The whole cafeteria was in an uproar. Some of the kids were looking at the fight between Christy and Samantha, and others were watching Jason on the floor as Jerry tried to pick him up. Synquetta also flew from her seat to the fight, but the guards were already there holding Samantha up by her shirt collar, the two girls were on the floor.

"SHE'S PREGNANT!" Synquetta yelled out as the guards lifted Christy off Samantha. Shay ran to the scene and grabbed Synquetta and hugged her. Since she was an upperclassman, this was not her lunch period. She was just going to the bathroom when she saw the bedlam in the cafeteria.

"It's okay!" She said as she held onto Synquetta.

The other guard ran to where Jason was on the cafeteria floor. They bended down and began helping Jerry lift Jason up off the floor. Jason began struggling and kicking his feet, he did not want to be picked up.

"ALLAH IS THE RESTORER!" He yelled out as he prostrated in front of the chicken wings on the floor and began praying.

One of the guards extended his hand to grab Jason's shoulder to stop him from praying.

"NOO!" Jerry yelled out to the guard.

"Just let him finish."

The guard stopped, after about half a minute Jason finished. He got up off the floor and walked to a cafeteria table to sit down.

The other guards and the staff took Samantha and Christy out of the cafeteria into Ms. Mickens office. Jason had his head down on the table, he was contemplating on how hungry he was and how Christy just dropped the tray like that.

Shay came up to Jason at the table and stood over him, she had her hands on her hips.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU JASON?" She said.

"CHRISTY BOUTA GET SUSPENDED BECAUSE OF YOU!" Shay continued to yell at Jason.

Jason still had his head down, and his eyes were closed.

"I miss my chicken wings." He calmly said.

"That's all you're thinking about?" She asked him.

"Your wife just got into a fight because of you, and you're over here thinking about some damn chicken wings!"

"Them jawns were barbequed." Jason calmly said.

Shay reached over to grab Jason by his neck to stand him up.

"Go in there right now and check if she's alright!" She said.

"WHY SHOULD I?" Jason retorted.

"Because she's YOUR WIFE JASON!" Shay said.

Jason turned his head in denial, he was still angry about the chicken wings. He finally agreed and turned around and began walking to Ms. Mickens office, where Christy was at.
