A queue can be an eventful place for those attempting to listen in on conversations. Friends, strangers, and mere acquaintances are confined in the same few square meters, almost being forced to find something to talk about to their peers.
On Sunday night, such a scenario unfolded in the cafeteria. 15-20 people were eagerly awaiting their turn to assemble their own perfect chicken sandwich. In this queue stood a group of soccer girls who began chatting away about the sunburn they had received on their faces from being outside the whole day. One girl asked her friends if her face was red to which she received the mocking answer that her face is always red.
A moment later, another soccer girl walked up to the group. Her face was as red as a lobster and the other soccer girls didn’t fail to notice. The one who had mocked the first girl, now reassured her that her face was at least not as red as the second girl’s. The whole group erupted in laughter.
Always think description, Emily. Remember back in COMM 208 when I had you describe food using as many senses as possible? We may do more of that in this class, but it’s something you can do in all of your writing.
