expectations unexpected `open

[/justie]

Seth walked into the cafeteria dreading what he would find - the usual nasty school lunches that were always served. He was surprised to find that that was not the case. However, he had planned ahead and packed his own lunch and bought a drink from the cooler there. He scanned the area, searching for anyone he would know, which didn't include very many people. He'd managed to sort of meet three other people in the library, and talk to one of them, Liza, again online. There were simply too many people already in the cafeteria to check for any of the three. He carried his brown bag lunch and bottle of Dr. Pepper to the table nearest the salad bar thinger and sat down.

Seth sighed and opened his lunch. The first thing he pulled out was a ham and cheese sandwich on one slice of wheat bread. This reminded him of home, and he tried to have at least one of them a week. It was just a plain sandwich, but to him it reminded him of his mom, his old school lunches with his friends, and everything that used to be. He took a bite of his sandwich and scanned the cafeteria again. No one bothered him. He enjoyed that, but didn't like it at the same time. It was sort of lonely. Some people walked by and gave him a smile or a nod, but no one bothered to sit down and introduce themselves. He rummaged through the bag and pulled out a pouch of scooby-doo fruit snacks. Heck yeah, fruit snacks! he said to himself with a childish grin. He tore open the small pouch and pulled out the blue head of scooby-doo, devouring it quickly, along with the whole package.

Taking another bite of his sandwich, Seth decided it was time for the doctor. Doctor Pepper, that is. It was one of his favourite sodas, and he didn't have soda all that often. He put his sandwich down on his paper bag and pulled his soda to him. He twisted the cap open. In retrospect, he should've been more observant. While he was eating, a guy walked by and gave him a small nod. Seth watched him walk by and gave him a polite smile and nod back. What he didn't see that the passerby had an accomplice shake up Seth's drink. The sticky liquid spewed all over his favourite Beatles shirt, and some of it all over his faded jeans. He sat there stunned for a moment, staring at his food in front of him. Soda was all over the table and Seth was embarrassed. No one there to laugh it off with him, but he saw several people laughing at him. He mentall shrugged it off and pulled a paper towel from his bag and began wiping off his arms and face. There was nothing he could do about his shirt. All he could do was eat his lunch in silence
