I eagerly watched the clock as the minute hand ticked closer and closer to 11:39.

"Lunch time", Frau Rom announced.


Yes finally! I jumped out of my seat and scurried towards the exit struggling to

squeeze past my classmates. We were like a heard of animals pushing, shoving and racing to

obtain our prey, or in students' terms, lunch time. As I meandered through the crowded

hallway, my stomach growled so loud it could be heard from the end of D hall.

I quickly turned the dial of the locker, right, left then right again.

"Come on Lexi hurry up", my friend nagged as I shuffled through loose papers and

note books to find my backpack. I couldn't understand how I could possibly be this unorganized

already. I quickly pried my new American Eagle bag from the bottom of my locker, searching

the blue interior finding nothing but my math book. I began to panic; it couldn't be, no lunch on

the first day!

I gloomily dragged behind my friends, lunch less, to the cafeteria. The aroma of pizza

immediately filled the air as we approached the lunch room. We scanned the cafeteria searching

for open seats. Nothing was available, considering it was as crowded as Target on Black Friday.

After spending over half the lunchtime traveling back and forth from north cafeteria

to south cafeteria, we finally managed to squeeze myself and my four friends on only two seats.

I spent the rest of lunch mooching food off of my friends.

Even though this first day of lunch was somewhat terrible I learned from the experience

just like we will learn from the many mistakes that will be made in high school and the future.

That day I learned to always have a backup plan in case I ever forget my lunch again.
