Finally after a few more periods droning on and on it was finally time for my favorite time of the day: lunch. Where I would reunite with Chip but also have a new special someone to enjoy it with. I promised Adam I would meet him outside the doors to the café so he wouldn't get lost trying to locate us in the incredibly large sized lunch room. I could spot his totally gorgeous smile from a mile away and it gave me this weird tingly feeling in my stomach.
"Belle, what's up chica?"
"Haha… what did you just come from Spanish or something?"
"As a matter of fact I did my lady." Adam opened on the door holding his hand out for me to go in first.
"Why thank you so much sir."
"Of course madam. Now where is this Chip you've been telling me so much about?"
My eyes scanned the café for the lunch table we've been occupying for the past four years when I noticed Chip waving with flailing arms in the air.
"I'm gonna guess she's the crazy chick making an embarrassment of herself over there."
"You would be guessing correctly then." I chuckled. "Come on before she embarrasses herself further."
We made our way over to Chip where she was munching on some Cheetos paired with a tuna sandwich. I cleared my throat to get her attention.
"Mhmmm. Chip, I would like you to meet Adam. He's gonna be joining us for lunch from now on. Cool?"
"Yeah, totally; nice to meet you Adam. The names Hope, but this loser over here calls me Chip." she says pointing towards me.
"Well I may have to change the name if you keep referring to me as loser." I laugh.
Adam takes the seat across from us and proceeds to unpack a brown bag from his knapsack.
"So, what's your poison?" I ask.
"Today's punishment is an expired fruit cup, a half-eaten bologna sandwich, and a carton of milk I'm pretty sure is chunky at this point."
"Yeah dude, no offense but that's disgusting."
Adam just laughs at the comment.
"Believe me, none taken. You see, my parent's just had another kid so their minds aren't exactly all there at the moment. They've been busy taking care of the baby so they haven't really been food shopping in a while."
"Well, today is your lucky day. It so happens to be pizza day and I just so happen to have enough money for two lunches. Come on cowboy, it's your lucky day."
Adam says more "thank yous" and "I'll pay you backs" than I think I've ever heard in my whole life. I just wave it off saying it's seriously not a big deal at all. As we get up to get on line Chip flashes her thousand watt smile at me as she continues to make kissy faces. I stick my tongue out and turn around just as a puddle of milk takes the floor out from underneath me.
