5. Food: What's for breakfast? Dinner? Lunch? Or maybe you could write a poem about that time you met a friend at a cafe.
"Hey Monty." Andrea took the seat across from me at the lunch table. She had become a lot more outgoing since we danced at the party a few days ago. Well, with Jasper, Maya, and me anyway. "Good day so far?"
"Pretty good. I'm going in for another 'treatment' this afternoon." I couldn't look her in the eyes. I still hadn't managed to tell her the only reason we were going through with the treatments was so we wouldn't get locked up like the grounders.
"Do you want me to stop by after?" A look of concern flashed over her face. In the few days I had known her she had seen how sick and miserable we all got after going through a treatment. "Should I bring you anything?"
"You don't have to bring anything; some company would be nice though." Sitting alone in the sterile hospital always creeped me out.
"Great! So how are you enjoying your breakfast?" For some reason, talking about my breakfast gave her a mysterious twinkle in her eye.
"Um, it's pretty good I guess. Pretty normal." I looked at my plate filled with scrambled eggs, toast, and an apple.
"Then you didn't try the bacon." She held up a long, thin, wavy piece of meat.
"Uh, no. I kinda thought it looked like a worm."
"A worm?" She laughed. "No, it's pig! And it's delicious! You have to try some!" She handed me one of her pieces to try. I took a small bite, and my mouth was filled with the rich smoky flavor. It was slightly crispy, seemingly the perfect texture. I let out a low moan. "It's good, isn't it?"
"So good!" I quickly ate another bite, wanting to eat as much as I could.
"I thought you'd like it." She took a bite of her own bacon. "It's probably my favorite thing to eat, but we rarely have it. This might be the first time we've had it since you arrived. Want some more?"
"Please!" My mouth was still full with my first piece, but I couldn't wait for more.
"Hey guys!" Jasper set his plate down on the table next to me.
"Jasper!" My mouth still full, "Did you try the bacon?"
"Bacon?" I held up a piece so he could know what I was talking about.
"Nah, I thought it looked like a worm." I looked to Andrea.
"I told you!" I turned back to Jasper. "Don't sit down! Go get some!"
"Just give me some of yours!" He reached for my plate and I quickly guarded it from his reach.
"No, mine."
"Fine, what a friend you are!" He walked back to the buffet with a mock look of hurt on his face, leaving me and my bacon in piece.
AN: So I'm liking this Monty/Andrea thing, what are your opinions? Should I keep exploring their relationship? I have at least one more fun idea for them, but it'll help to know if people like it to know how much more I want to explore this. Have a great day!
