15. Eavesdropping:

Sit in a place and listen to the conversations around you. Choose one and create a story using the actual dialogue you overheard.

“ Why don’t you eat lunch?”

“ Oh, no. Dining Hall is disgusting!”

“ I agree, but you need to eat something anyway. You will be hungry!”

“ Don’t worry. I only have two periods left.”

A slim girl is drinking apple juice, and she totally ignores the concern in her friend’s eyes.

“ It is one thirty now. I have to go! See you guys.” The girl catches her bag, and rush out of the Dining Hall.

The first class after lunch is math. She is sleepy and tired. It seems the apple juice did not give her much energy. She wants to focus on what her teacher wrote on the white board, but the only thing she can do is close her eyes and fall in sleep. She dreams of Turkey. Thanksgiving is coming! In her dream, everyone in her family sits near a long rectangle table. A huge, and sweet-smelling turkey is lying in the middle. Beef just came out from her mother’s kitchen, and some good-looking desserts are waiting to be welcome. “ Oh, mom. You are the best cook ever! ” She smiles.

“ What are you talking about!” She is pulled back by a small and nervous voice, “ Wake up! Teacher is coming!” She opens her eyes. “ Is the class over? ” “Nope, we have ten minutes left.” The girl has a sigh. She feels hungry and sad because of the missing Thanksgiving meal.

The next class is biology. The girl has a test today. She has prepared for it since last week. “ It is not hard.” she thinks. Suddenly, she feels dizzy, and the whole world starts twisting in front of her eyes. Finally, she faints away.

The white wall of health centre is the first thing shows up after she regain consciousness.

“Oh, crap!” she recalls her biology test.

“I should aways eat lunch no matter how disgusting the food is!”
