Lunch

The outdoor lunchroom, COVID-19 style

### Location

The room you took your 3rd class in. If you that sounds unappealing, you can choose the luxury of the driveway outside. What a deal!

Lunch is the time of day when people take a break from work and remember what's important the most: a crunchy biscuit and a sour glass of lemonade. In the chicken coop, kids get to eat after the third period. They have from 12:00 to 12:30 to refresh themselves before the 4th class. However, kids also use this time to meet up with friends and chat. They spread throughout every classroom, including the driveway outside. This leaves the gym and hallway in much-needed peace!

## Lunchinationing Locations

### The Driveway

Ever since COVID-19, some people have started eating outside. In fact they will sit straight-out on the driveway next to PCCLEAH! This keeps them safe from catching COVID while giving the cool kids a chance to interact. And as a bonus, they get to enjoy a never-ending game of **Get Out of the Way Before You Get Hit By That Car**!

### The Dangerous Apex!

Right now, the **Apexes** are combined into one giant room. The teachers use it to set up classes, so don't even try eating in there! Before COVID, this is where the cool kids all ate. Be wary, though, if you have a reputation for missing the basket in gym class, the kids will bar your way. One time, an unwanted kid managed to sneak in. The cool kids couldn't lead him to the exit, so they tricked him into going through the window for a "surprise". When the outlaw crawled through the window, the cool kids closed and locked it! Please note that these kids have not yet matured and will show no mercy to newcomers.

### THE EXTRA COOL KID ZONE

**Room 4** is where the extra-cool kids eat. If you want to eat in there, you have to be 1. Cool enough and 2. Good at sports. If you're not then you will be blocked out. One time a kid snuck a camera in there and spied on the cool kids. But one of them found the camera and threw it in the garbage. It was terrifying!

### Other Rooms that you shouldn't eat in

I'm listing the most hated room first: **Room 9**. Most of the parents eat with their little kids in here. There's never any room to do anything and a baby is always crying. You're be better off eating next to the highway. Then Rooms **5 to 8** just sit there. These rooms are unpredictable. Sometimes they will be so quiet and empty you can hear the angels singing. Other times, you will find them completely packed with little kids. Well, there goes your plans of playing Stardew Valley in a quiet room with your friends. Then **Room 1** is combined with **Room 2**. This might seem interesting, but the whole thing is a little kid chamber. During all 5 hours of coop, every single class is for little kids. It's not the cleanest place for a meal. And **Room 3** is separate but no better.

### Room 10

The teenagers have made their nest in **Room 10**. You would expect it to be peaceful in there without cool kids making the rules. But since there are so many teens, the noise is unbearable. There isn't any room to stretch your legs after a long 3 hours of classes, and there are no empty seats. But even with all the chaos, ThornyFox decided to buy a projector so he and TapeFaceYT can play Switch games in front of 40 people for no reason. Galacta Knight Rules!

### Rooms 11-13

**Room 11** and **12** are also connected, but they are filled with parents who choose not to look after their kids. Good luck doing any funny pranks in there! The final room is **Room 13**. This is the quietest room in the whole building. The adults keep it in mint condition even though nobody ever goes in it. And that means no throwing pieces of ham on the floor, ya biscuits! One time a kid hooked his Switch to the TV in Room 13 and played Smash with a bunch of friends.

## Non-Lunchinationing Rooms

Don't. Eat. In. The. Gym. The. Librarby. Or. The. Carpeted. Foyer.

## Conclusion Paragraph (for extra credit)

Overall, lunch is a very valuable part of the chicken coop's weekly ritual, and the most respected. The freedom you experience just takes off all the weight you carried in the previous classes. However, when your break is up, you've still got 2 more classes to go through. Good luck out there students, and don't forget to watch lots of ThornyFox on YouTube!

## TRIVIA

* During a parent meeting in February of 2019, one (formerly 😭) Nintendo gamer hooked up his Nintendo Switch to the TV in Room 13. All the cool kids gathered together for a rickety radical Smash Bros. party.
* On April 1st of 2019, a student brought his whoopie cushion to the chicken coop. This resulted in hysteria from the unpleasant sounds and ultimately ended in the student jumping on the whoopie cushion thus popping it and releasing a large amount of white-colored dust.
* In the fall of 2019, a whole potato was discovered in Room 10 during lunch. Normally this wouldn't be a huge issue but because students had already been told previously by teachers and faculty not to leave food (due to a large influx of mess during that month) on the ground or on tables all heck broke loose. The teachers made all the students involved clean the WHOLE room till it was glistening and our eyes hurt from the sight of the unearthly white clean tables.
* Thanks to the many opportunities to prank people, lunch is ThornyFox's favorite period. You can normally find him out in the hall playing audios or running around in the gym drinking out of a dish soap container.
