I was sitting at the lunch table with a few friends, I grab my lunch box from within the deep depths of my school bag. There it lay, winking at me, ready for me to open and eat the contents of it. 

My friends all had their own lunch boxes but mine was different, mine was special. I did not know what made it special perhaps it was the contents or perhaps it was the lunch box itself. I did not know. 

I grabbed the lid of my lunch box and threw it to one side, I was ready to eat the contents. The first thing I picked up was my wrap, which had a creamy sour cream with chicken, bacon and lettuce. I took one look at it and my mouth was salivating for England, I took a slow bite. The creaminess hit me like a ton of bricks, I was so close to being in heaven. After I had consumed the entire wrap my eyes gazed to the packet of crisps, a packet of pom bears. The salty eloquence of the singular crisp when it hit my tongue it tingled along me. The crunch was next, I bit down and the crunchy snap of the crisp hit my ear drum and it rattled through my brain.  

There was a creamy yoghurt my second to last item to eat. It was a muller light Greek style yoghurt and it was fat free!

"Fat free!" Lily yelled and we got to eating our lunches with no more communication happening between us. 

It took me 4 spoonful's for me to finish the creamy yoghurt which slid down my throat and made me realise that I am missing something. :(

I looked into the lunch box and I saw it, my cheese string. How could I forget about it?
I unwrapped the cheese string slowly opening it and sniffing the cheese string. The aroma it gave off waffed up my nose, the spinal column tingled making me move in the strangest of ways. It seemed to whisper to me,

"Don't eat me please... You love me and my kind."

I listened to the cheese string and I had a change of thought, originally I was going to eat it no questions asked but now, I am questioning everything. I also felt so guilty for eating all those other cheese strings and I promised myself and the new cheese string that I would never eat another cheese string ever and I would pledge to repopulate the cheese string kind.
