"What was I supposed to ask?" Levi was shaking his head. His best friend was too good for the world. To make his mood better, he told him that he got him melons which he hoped didn't get crushed when he kicked his bicycle earlier. He was able to remember to bring them on his way there. "Where did you get splashed? What kind of car was it?” Levi asked.

I could just think about crying and the fountain is on. It’s just too much for me to handle. I quickly get out of bed and rush to the kitchen to microwave the cold pizza from yesterday or the day before? I wasn’t sure. But I put in anyways and I set the timer. I rush back to the bathroom taking a quick bath. The only a* pay is so good and I get an extra bonus cause I am pregnant. The shop owner was so nice and welcoming and so homey. I think that has to be the only friend in my life right now.

no spoon. “Yo!” called out Phil. “You forgot—” A spoon came whizzing through the air. Phil caught it and slid it across the table to me. I grabbed it and dug in. Phil continued to flash the cards between his hands. “You’re pretty good,” I said between mouthfuls. The chunks were crusty bread, the green was some kind of vegetable, maybe. It tasted good, whatever it was.

I pick up the spoon. Scoop. Hold it out. She looks at it like it insulted her. “I’m not eating that.” “You will.” “No, I won’t.” I don’t lower the spoon. We stay like that. Locked. Waiting. Her jaw tightens. “You’re unbelievable.” “And you’re stalling.” “I’m not—” “Eat.” She slaps my hand away. The spoon clatters against the bowl. Some of the contents spill over the edge. Silence. Sharp.

he cursed under his breath. "You know, I was thinking," Raven began, tapping the spoon against his chin, "and I thought 'If I'm gonna bring a spoon, why not also bring food to go in it?' I mean, that's what spoons are used for, after all. So I brought this. Thought you could have a bit of cereal… consider it my treat. Most of the others don't get fed, so you'd better enjoy this." As she dipped the spoon into the bag and pulled it out, piled high with silver shavings cloaked with wolfsbane.

I can't count how much she eats tuna, she loves it. I sighed everytime I remember Beverly. Everything I do in this house really reminds me of her. Every little thing.. everytime I eat breakfast.. I always look at the seat beside me. It used to be Bev's place but now it's empty. She loves to talk about how much she loves the green bowl everytime she eats soup. I always said that she's a weirdo for liking that bowl because that bowl is damn old. I took out a spoon from the drawer and unconsciously I took a spoon that Beverly really likes. She always asked me to take the blue spoon for her and now I'm using it to scoop the tuna onto my bread.

“Are you going to tell them you have another spoon?” I dig out the extra plastic spoon from the bag and sneak another bite of ice cream while Mark and Casper continue to fight.

the way it held just a fraction too long. “You need your strength, “she said quietly. “No one gets better without eating.” No one gets better. The words settled heavily in my chest. “I will eat.” I murmured, lowering my gaze, letting my hand move towards the bowl again. Slower this time. measure. I dipped the spoon, lifted it halfway, then let it hover, as if the effort alone had drained me.

"The adrenaline crash is vicious. But you have to force the fuel into your body. Four bites. That is all I am asking for." Staring at the bowl, she chewed nervously on her bottom lip. "Four bites," she finally agreed, sounding completely defeated. "But if I get sick, I am aiming directly for your boots." "Fair enough." Reaching out with a trembling hand, she picked up the silver spoon. Dipping it into the steaming golden broth, she scooped up a small amount of the liquid. She raised the spoon toward her mouth. A sharp, violent sting hit the back of my sinuses.
