Health Kick

Alex's pov

I was trying so hard to stay awake in this class. My head was slowly going onto the table and all I heard were slow motion words about fruit and vegetables.

Slowly,slowly... 'Alex wake up!' Mason whisper shouted. I quickly lifted my head up trying to cover up my snoozing.

'I'm sorry, this class is sooo boring. All this video is about is keeping healthy and this is the same kind of vides we watch all the time.' I said.

He gave me a small smile and shook his head. 'Shhhhhh.' Kylie said next to me.

'Kylie how are you even still watching this.' I said

'Because, Alex,' she started 'We always need to keep healthy, and we all want to hit triple digits in our age.' She said knowingly

I rolled my eyes and turned to Mason who was talking to Levi.

'I'm really excited for Foody Fridays Alex.' Levi said with a huge grin on his face.

'Oh yeah!' I suddenly remembered as my head shot up from the table. 'Me too.'

'Ummm, anyone wanna tell me what that is?' Mason said with a confused look on his face.

I laughed at his reaction and started to explain. 'Foody Fridays is when the caterers bring in food from restaurants all around the country. We only have it twice a and it's soooo cool. Oh and did I forget to mention that everything is free.' I took a big breath after all of that.

'The look on Mason's face was priceless. 'Where has this school been all my life.' He said looking up at the ceiling.

I Laughed and turned to Kylie. Her eyes were wide as she watched the clip of someone trying to lose weight.

Ring ring!!

'Yeeeessss!' I shouted as I jumped off my seat.

The clip turned off and Kylie jumped up. 'Noooo! Now we'll never find out if he lost the weight.'

I rolled my eyes and told everyone to follow me. We ran as fast as lightning to the cafeteria line. It was a bit crowded but nothing too bad.

As we went into the cafeteria my eyes widened as I saw the amount of food that was laid out.

'Heeelloooo.' I heard a voice say 'Earth to Alex.' I snapped out of my trance as soon as I heard Levi's voice.

'Oh, sorry.' I apologised 'The food just looks so good.'

Kylie looked weird. She was giving the food a stare that she would normally give to Veronica.

'Uhh Kylie, are you okay?' I asked looking at her.

She finally snapped out of her trance when we got to the front of the line. 'Not. At. All.' She said.

'Wow, look at all this food.' Mason said with his eyes wide open.

'Yeah, I can't wait to dig in.' I said

'I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.' Kylie muttered

'What was that Kylie?' I asked confused 'Oh nothing.' She said crossing her arms.

When we got to our table I was so excited to eat. I had many things on my plate (too many to list)

Kylie sat next to me while Mason and Levi sat opposite us. Me, Mason and Levi started to eat while Kylie just sat there staring at us. Then I saw I hand grab my burger as I was about to take a bite out of it.

'Wha-hey Kylie give me back my burger.' Right after I said that she tossed it in the bin.

'Wha-you just-did she just- you put my burger in the bin.' I said getting ticked off.

'I had to, since this morning in science it opened my mind for me to realise-.' She started 'Short answer.' I said cutting her off.

'We need to be healthy.' She said and with that she wondered off into the lunch line again.

'I turned to the boys with my mouth open in shock. 'Did that just happen?' I asked

Levi let out a snicker. I got up a smacked him upside the head.

'Ow what was that for?' He asked with a confused look on his face.

'For laughing at my food misfortunes, you're lucky I won't just snatch your burger right now.' I said with a grin on my face.

Levi pulled his plate towards him protecting his burger while eyeing me cautiously.

A few minutes later Kylie came back with what looked like a garden on her plate. 'Here have this.' She said pushing the plate toward me.

'Umm, this looks like my back garden. Too much green.' I said.

Mason sniggered a bit. 'I'm not eating lunch if I can't eat what I want.' I declared getting up. I walked towards the vending machine in the corner.

I grabbed a bag of crisps and a chocolate bar and set off for my next class.

Kylie:meet at my house after school guys

Mason:Sure, why tho?

Kylie:Just come over I'll explain

Alex:Will you try and take my food again?!

Kylie:No

Levi:See u guys there.

I put my phone in my pocket and walked off to maths.

After school

I rang the doorbell at Kylie's house. I was greeted by Mason. 'Hey,' I said 'hey, Kylie and Levi are upstairs. He said.

We both went upstairs to find them both sitting on chairs.

'Guys, you know in science, when we saw that video I totally freaked out and started being all health conscious. That's why I took your burger Alex, because your my best friend and I care about you. I'm really sorry.' She explained

'You took my burger... to protect my health?' I said.

She nodded.

I got up and went to hug her. 'Look, I get how you care about me, and trust me I'm thankful, but the next time you take my precious food away from me, well let's just say it won't be pleasant.

We all laughed and did a group hug.

I really do have great friends
