Can They Compete, By Cindy Johnson The lunch bell rings, students dash to form lines, my stomach was growling, with a burrito in mind. Hunger pangs begged me, to cut and be first. One method was muscles, the other was flirt. I hit the boy and kissed the girl, was ready for a fight. Anything to get that combo, before the others might. The girl at the counter, said, $1.54 I layed down $1.50, but had no more. I turned to friends to loan me the money, I looked around twice but couldn ' t find any. I begged the lady to let me slide. She grabbed back my burrito and hid it inside. She hustled me, to get out of the way, She said the line, was for people who could pay. Sulking but hungry, I looked for a seat. Hoping to find someone who ' d give me things to eat. I squeezed in at a table knocking three people off. The chubby girl had a lot of food, but also a bad cough. She handed me a sandwich, almost half gone, it tasted O.K. but it didn ' t last long. Two twinkles were next, I shoved one down; the fat girl coughed, and put the second on the ground. I thanked her politely, wiping spit from my shirt, and headed towards class to be there first. Tomorrow I ' d remember to bring four cents to wait my turn, and give other ' s a chance. -4 ▲ LUNCH TIME BLUES are shared as a group of friends gather round the lunch table.
