Answer 1

It had been a typical school day, with four courses completed and lunchtime approaching. I'm hungry to the point that my stomach is growling like a washing machine. As I get closer to the front of the line, I glance at the menu and notice the worst meal of all: green bean casserole. There was no way I could go back now that I was in line and had my tray in hand. My eyes roll back in disdain as the lunch woman puts the dish onto the platter. I have no option but to consume it at this point when I sit down at the table. The smells from the horrible dish shoot up into my nostrils and almost make me throw up when my fork digs into it. Looking at the almost-brown, withered green beans.

Answer 2

It was a usual school day four classes are done with and finally lunchtime. My stomach by this point is rumbling like a washing machine I am so hungry. as I approach the line I lay my eyes on the menu and realize the worst lunch of all is being served, green bean casserole. I was in line and already had my tray in hand so there was no going back now. as the lunch lady slaps the casserole onto the plate my eyes look in disgust and question if it is edible. When I sit down at the table I have no choice but to eat it at this point. When my fork diggs in the fumes of the nasty casserole fly up into my nose and make me almost vomit. Looking at the green beans nearly brown and shriveled. I plug my nose and eat it in disgust, the meat and all the vegetables all dried and cold. As I scarf down the rest of the meal as quickly as I can chugging the milk faster than a cheetah to dampen the taste.

Once done with the meal I say to myself I will never eat that lunch again. I went to the student council and begged and pleaded for them to take the casserole off the menu, but they didn't seem to care. Finally, I decided if no one else would do it then I would just have to do it myself. So I ran for student council, somehow won. So I finally accomplished it and got green bean casserole off the menu.
