Hidden Lunches
To avoid the hustle and bustle of
the lunch room, a few students
have taken to eating their lunch
elsewhere. They're the ones that
eat in a family friend's room and
ones who enjoy lunch with a
favorite teacher. It's not exactly
quiet sometimes, but there are
less people. Everyone gets a
seat, and the longest line is for
the microwave (even then there
is only about 5 students). It's a
more relaxed atmosphere and no
one gets in trouble from walking
around. The students that eat in
these "hidden lunch rooms" like
to think of themselves as doing a
good deed: the cafeteria would be
even more crowded without these
escape rooms.
