"So where do you guys eat lunch?" Jessica asks as she and Shelly are walking towards the cafeteria.

"Out in the stadium," Shelly answers. "The royal court table is not for you huh?"

"Ugh, no," Jessica answers her. "All they did was throw things at people, called them names or made unwanted advances to every girl that passed by."

"Or sat with them," Shelly asks.

"I didn't want to say it but yeah, it was pretty blatant. I think I tried saying 'No' in three different languages."

"That why you brought your lunch today?"

"Exactly," Jessica answers.

"Well if you go out that side door there, you can skip the cafeteria and head right to stadium." Shelly tells her pointing towards the door where the buses let out each morning.

"Okay, cool but how will I know where you guys sit?"

"Jake and Bobby will already be out there just look for them. They usually bring their own too so they can skip the cafeteria. Jake says it's too loud."

"I agree with him there. See you out there."

"I've got a turkey, ham and cheese sandwich, Cheetos and Little Debbie Brownie, Bobby," I ask laying out my lunch on the metal bench.

"Dibs on that brownie," Roxie calls out before Bobby can begin.

"I see that stammer of yours cleared up nicely." She shoots back as she takes a seat.

"Nothing that a little time melting my brain in Geometry couldn't cure," I tell her then turn to Roxie. "Rox, this is Jessica. Jessica, this is Roxie."

"Nice to meet you Roxie," Jessica says.

"Don't try and take my brownie Tall Girl." Roxie tells her.

"Okay... what's happening?" Jessica asks.

"Us brown baggers run a system of trade," Bobby explains as he starts to pull out his lunch. "For example, I have a ham and cheese sandwich, a bag of regular chips and a chocolate chip cookie."

"Any item that I want," Roxie picks up, "Say that brownie, that I will get by the way, I have to trade for. My trade items are a chicken salad sandwich, a bag of barbecue chips and grapes."

"Ah I gotcha," Jessica says. "Am I allowed to join the trade group?"

"Let's see what you got and then we'll decide." Roxie tells her.

"Um, sure," She says opening her bag. "I've got a Pimento Cheese sandwich, a bag of Salt
