Via had warned me about lunch in middle school, so I guess I should have known it would be hard.
I just hadn’t expected it to be this hard. Basically, all the kids from all the fifth-grade classes poured into the cafeteria at the same time,
talking loudly and bumping into one another while they ran to different tables.
One of the lunchroom teachers said something about no seat-saving allowed, but I didn’t know what she meant
and maybe no one else did, either, because just about everybody was saving seats for their friends.
I tried to sit down at one table, but the kid in the next chair said, “Oh, sorry, but somebody else is sitting here.”
So I moved to an empty table and just waited for everyone to finish stampeding and the lunchroom teacher to tell us what to do next.
As she started telling us the cafeteria rules, I looked around to see where Jack Will was sitting,
but I didn’t see him on my side of the room.
Kids were still coming in as the teachers started calling the first few tables to get their trays and stand on line at the counter.
Julian, Henry, and Miles were sitting at a table toward the back of the room.
Mom had packed me a cheese sandwich, graham crackers, and a juice box, so I didn’t need to stand on line when my table was called.
