One day I went to school to find that all of my friends were absent that day because there had been a virus going around. Luckily I didn't get it, but I was still upset because that forced me to be myself the entire day. When lunch came around, I felt even lonelier because I was eating alone. Just when I thought that I couldn't take it any longer, the hottest guy in my grade came and sat down next to me. At first I was really nervous but then I loosened up a bit; maybe a bit too much because as we were really getting a good conversation going food came flying out of my mouth and landed right on his face. My mother always told me to never talk with my mouth full but I thought that was a rule strictly for the dinner table.
