Arielle's outfit
This was shaping up to be an interesting senior year for Arielle. Aside from not having the time to hang out with Cleo and catch up about their summers like she hoped, Arielle was going to be putting in a lot of extra hours at the high school. Fortunately she was able to choose a different history teacher to work with this year so it wasn't the same strict Mr. Zorkowvky that she had her junior year. The only downside was how her schedule had to change. Now instead of being at the high school by nine she had to be there at eleven, which meant one of her classes at Metric had to be the early class, before then. Arielle HATED getting up early! So it was no surprise that even though she was able to munch on something before the history class started and didn't technically eat lunch, she just wanted some candy.
Whizzing down the main street, Arielle made the final turn to make it onto Metric's campus. She made her way towards the dining hall, quickly letting out a loud "sorry" to anyone she raced past. She only had two hours before her only other class of the day and Arielle was determined to get in as much snackage time as possible! When she finally approached the building, Arielle hopped off her bike and set it at the rack. "Thanks for the ride, Harvey," she said. She pulled off her cardigan (which didn't really match the rest of her outfit, but Arielle had really only needed it to cover her t-shirt during class) and tied it around her bike before locking it up."Be back in two hours, Harv. You be a good bike to all the other bikes, kay?" Arielle smiled at her wheeled companion before running in towards the cafeteria. Maybe she looked weird talking to an inanimate object, but she was a senior. And if she didn't care every other year what people thought why would she care now? "Snacktimesnacktimesnacktimesnacktimesnacktime..." she hummed rapidly to herself, speeding through the crowds of students who were looking for actual lunches - as opposed to fake lunches like Arielle was getting - and getting right to the area where all the snacks where. All she had to do was decide what to get! There were so many choices! "Reeses...Hershey's...m&ms...kit-kats...almond joys...no, not almond joys...twix...nah, that's got bits of caramel...." she said to herself. With so many options, Arielle couldn't help but groan. "Why's it so hard to decide?" Ugh, where was Cleo her mini conscience sister-like best friend person when she needed someone? At least she'd tell Arielle to get something like Reeses Pieces with whatever else she was getting.... Ooooh actually Reeses Pieces was a good start! She picked up a bag, which then made her think of getting that dessert pizza she had that one time...the piece of chocolate cake with little m&ms on top and some whipped cream...Arielle went to the nearby fridge and grabbed one of those. Ugh, but that didn't feel like enough! Juggling the two snacks in one hand, Arielle reached into her backpack and pulled out her wallet, just to have her student card ready. It was freshly loaded for the new year, but odds were her mom was still going to ask what she was spending it on. But Arielle didn't want any real food! She wanted snack foods! She could already hear how the conversation with her mom would play out. "Danglenuts, mom!" she groaned. Then a lightbulb went off. "Ooooh I'll just tell her I was getting some snacks for Bad Movie Monday with Cleo! No way she could say no to that!" she grinned. although her mother would find a way.
But for the moment Arielle didn't care. She grabbed some m&ms, an extra large Hershey bar, a snack pack of snickers, a smaller Hershey bar...but something was missing. Arielle paused to think about it for a minute. She gasped when she realized what she was missing. "I forgot about the cookie!" How could she go through fake lunch without some sort of cookie? Running to the other side where bakery items such as bagels, rolls and cookies were located, Arielle held onto her precious candies hard as she debated what kind of cookie to get. Oh well! Maybe there'd be more of one cookie than another! That'd help her decide!
Except it didn't. When she reached the table, it looked like the cookies were all about the same! Sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies and black and white cookies! Arielle eyed the cookies carefully. "Ok cookies, listen up. You gotta help a girl out. Oe of you please tell me to take you so I can eat you and you can have a little snack party in my tummy with all the other snacks! So start talking if you wanna belly disco!" She narrowed her gaze at the treats, for whatever reason expecting one of them to answer her.
