Alex pulled out his green and gray striped lunch box, rather boring if you asked him. He pulled ot his turkey and mayo sandwich on wheat bread, his baggie of cherry tomatoes, and orange and a small container of vanilla pudding. It all seemed boring.
He glanced around his table to all his friend lunches as he took a big bite of his extremely boring sandwich.
Eliza's box was pinked and gold with a pony on it. She had a chocolate chip cookie, a grilled cheese and chocolate milk. Along with a yummy apple. She bit into it with a glorious smile on her face.
Hercules' lunch bag was actually just a potato sack, but it was a bit interesting. And he always had the fanciest lunches. Today he had duck confit, chocolate dipper strawberries, and a decaf cappuccino, which he sipped cautiously out of a thermos.
Burr had a dark brown lunch box, with bronze stars all over it. He had potato chips and goldfish, oreos and a PB+J sandwich, all handed to him on a silver platter by a butler hired to work for Burr during Lunch.
Peggy, who couldn't even eat solid foods, had a yummy lunch. Her box was purple with her name hand sewed into it by Angelica. She had peach yogurt with strawberry jam, and then chocolate caramel pudding.
"What's wrong?" Angelica asked as she opened her plain black lunchbox. Alex grinned in delight at the sight of another boring box, but groaned when he saw the My Little Pony logo printed onto it.
"That." He hissed as she picked up her french bread and cheese sandwich with a white doilie napkin and mustard drizzled on top.
Angelica furrowed her eyebrows. "Are you allergic to my lunch? I can move."
"No."  Alex spat when she pulled out a delicious looking chocolate frosted brownie covered in sprinkles.
Angelica nodded. "I see what's happening here."
Alex lifted an eyebrow.
"You're jealous of everyone's lunch."
Alex was surprised that Angelica got it right. "Yea... how'd you know?"
"Same thing happens to me." She explained.
"But you have the most delicious, fantastic meal of everyone here! You simply cannot know what it feels like to have a crappy lunch." Alex muttered.
Angelica scoffed. "Yours was made by your mom. She puts little notes in the boxes for you to read." She pointed out. "Mine was made by a butler that doesn't even know how to spell my name I'm sure. And your mother took you to the store to get your box?"
Alex shifted uncomfortably. "Well... yea."
"My dad barely even had the time to order this online. I only found out I was getting a new one when it came in the mail. And I don't even like My Little Pony."
"Oh. I'm sorry Angie."

Angelica shrugged. "Everyone has their reasons to be unhappy, but I think you've got the least... I mean. Hercules' dad left them, Laf's parents are in prison for abusing him. My mom is dead and my dad never talks to me. Burr's dad is dead and his mom is so sad about it she has gone to the hospital a lot for depression. Maria's dad leaves them for the war like all the time, and her mom is very strict and not the nicest- shall I continue?"
"No-no. I got it. Thank Angie, I guess you're right." Alex murmured. "Everyone has reasons to be unhappy."
