Tuesday’s lunch is pizza or salad. I pick salad. My Lunch friend, Ryan Calkins, gets a pizza. It’s halfway finished before I even sit down. Ryan’s always hungry. He’s also always sleepy, I give him all the tomatoes from my salad. I hate tomatoes by themselves. The textures are too slimy and weird. Rayn hands me the crust of his pepperoni pizza. I take it. The garlic is kind of weird but I don't wanna be rude. Ryan starts drumming his fingers along the edge of the lunch table, annoying a girl across from us. She moves. Ryan keeps drumming. He gets bored real quick though and is asleep before I'm done eating. I don't finish my food. Mom says I shouldn't eat much because I'm getting too big. I think she's right. -Ethan
