Chapter 4: Food, Food, and More Food
The next day was Black Friday. I got up and stretched. Sarah also got up with me. "Good morning, Sarah!" I greeted my best friend. "Good morning, Angel!" Sarah greeted back. "How would you like to share some leftover turkey and cranberry sauce with me?" I then asked. "Maybe later," Sarah told me. "James is going to take us all out for breakfast at the Original Pancake House on McKnight Road." "Mmm, I love pancakes!" I then exclaimed. "They are one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast." We then got dressed and met James and Henri outside. "Are you sure you know where you are going this time?" I asked James. "Yes, Angel," James told me. "I looked up this place myself and they have lots of good things to eat for breakfast. Pancakes, waffles, French toast, even crepes!" "What are you going to have to eat, James?" Sarah then asked. "I don't know yet," he replied. "But, let's drive up and I will decide when we get there." We then drove up to the Pancake House and got our menus. I then showed my friends what I typically like to get for breakfast. "I like pancakes with blueberries and strawberries, bacon, and a glass of milk," I then ordered. "I like s'more pancakes best," Henri then told me. "S'more pancakes?" I then asked. "You mean, with graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows?" Sarah asked. "Yum," James remarked. "I like those types of pancakes, too." The waitress then came to take our orders. I got my glass of milk, however, I waited until my breakfast came to drink it. "Ooh, your pancakes look very yummy, Angel!" James remarked. "Thanks, James," I then replied. "Yours do, too." I then began to eat my breakfast. I even offered to share some of my berries with Sarah, since she liked all those types of fruits, too. "Thanks for breakfast!" I then thanked my friends.
A few hours later, after I went shopping at the Monroeville Mall with Erica and her friends, I went out to eat with Sarah, James, and Henri again- only this time it was for dinner at the El Campesino in Monroeville, which served really good Mexican food. My mom also joined us, since she loved Mexican food, too. "I got you a present at the mall today for your birthday, Sarah," I then told my best friend. "But, I can't tell you what it is, because I want it to be a surprise!" "Okay, Angel," Sarah commented, "but still, that's very nice of you." "Since we know what you like for breakfast, Angel, what types of Mexican food do you like to eat?" James asked me. "That's easy," I told him. "Chicken fajitas, of course." "I just like the tortilla chips," Henri stated. "Just don't eat too many or you will get sick," my mom warned. I told my friends how my mom and I typically go to the Rey Azteca in New Kensington for Mexican food, and how I went to El Campesino once my sophomore year of high school for a field trip in Spanish class. Again, that year was partially what 2016 was like, particularly during the summer months. My mom warned me not to talk about my theories about the weather around Sarah, James, and Henri. We then got a basket of tortilla chips, but Sarah and I didn't eat too many, since we wanted to save room for leftover turkey and cranberry sauce. After dinner, we then headed back to Sarah, James, and Henri's apartment, and Sarah cooked some turkey and cranberry sauce in the microwave. She even heated up some of James's favorite foods to eat, as well: mashed potatoes and green bean casserole. "I don't think James will mind if we eat the leftover potatoes and beans," Sarah told me. "That was yummy," I told my friend. "But, it's time for us to go to bed, now! Good night!" Sarah then turned out the light and I got under my covers. "Good night!"
