The salmon, eggplant parmesan, and steamed vegetables were so delicious! Amanda ate her food with gusto, enjoying every bite, alternating between bites of the three dishes and sips of her water from her bottle. Beside her, Flora seemed also to be enjoying her food, in fact so much so that she did not answer her question of how her food was. But it was clear from watching her between bites that her food was delicious as well.

Finally, they finished their dinners. "I'm so glad we were able to get dinner together," Amanda said to her friend cheerily. She helped Flora pick up and carry all the trash to the nearby bins, which were divided into slots for garbage, composting, and recycling. "I love that our school is environmentally conscious," Amanda commented, tossing their used napkins and biodegradable trays into the composting bin. She refilled her bottle of water before putting that back into her bag for later.
