Gluttony

Welcome to fourth-period lunch. We hope you enjoy your stay. Hey, no worries. There aren’t any bullies waiting to snatch your money in the back of the line, no— all the bullies are in the front.
The Gluttony The Bible Mentions
If you don’t have fourth-period lunch, well then, bless your little heart. Fourth-period lunch at the Creative and Performing Arts school is a combination of ninth graders taking algebra two, tenth graders who have no choice but to be here, eleventh graders, and a few select twelfth graders. Mind you, there are three lunch periods. I will never know why there are only three lunch periods for a four-grade high school, but I will always question. (In silence)
You can imagine the chaos unraptured when four grades share one lunch period, but I’d prefer to show you.
The point is, it’s crowded! And not only is it crowded, but if your day was going bad, it was about to get a lot worse as you watched a group of friends join their ONE friend at the front of the line. And another group, then another group that knows that group, and it keeps going. Most days, I skip eating lunch just so I can avoid the gas lit flame boiling the veins in my brain at the wasteful time spent in line for a walking taco.
I hate to be that person, but I will be that person. Honestly, I think someone should be planted behind a pillar… watching… lurking. Someone to catch the line skippers', weirdos!
