Lunch (Chpt. 6)

Time passes by and the clock rings 12. Your mother looks up and says "It's lunch time, what would you like to eat?" "Sandwiches?" says Ray. "Sure then." Your mother stands and goes to the kitchen. She starts preparing sandwiches for everyone while your siblings and you pick up the papers. "Lorely please call everyone down for lunch." "Okay." She stands and goes upstairs to call them down. Everyone goes to the kitchen once your mother finishes preparing the food. They're nice sandwiches, with ham, cheese, mayonnaise, avocado, lettuce, and tomatoes on top of cooked wheat bread. Everyone sits down at the table. Your mother places a stack of cups, plates and a jar of ice water down. Everyone picks up a plate and receives a sandwich and a cup. Once everyone has served their water and sits down does anyone start to eat. No one dares ask about the box nor the papers. Time slowly passes by and finally the awkward lunch is over. "Okay, Serran and Lucien please pick up the plates, Eadgyth and Maya please pick up the cups. Everett and Min please clean the table. Lorely please help Sherry pick out her clothes for her bath." "Okay." Is the response everyone gives and goes to their tasks as your mother takes the water jar and goes to wash the plates and cups. You and Lucien pick up the plates. While Eadgyth and Maya pick up the cups. Everett and Min arrange the chairs to their positions and clean the table once everything else is picked up. Once done everyone goes to their rooms. Your mother goes up to have Sherry take a bath. You go into your room and close the door. You lie down on the floor and close your eyes.
