can’t! Emma cried inside.

      She hastily took another bite of potatoes.

      “Try your meat,” Karen said pleasantly, with another tap on Emma’s shoulder.

      Regina stood and lifted her tray to bus it. “It’s hard the first time,” she said quietly, nodded and left.

      Summer left a few minutes later, too, and one by one so did just about everyone else. Only one other girl was left at another table, gazing down in dismay at her plate. Emma saw that her glass of milk was still mostly full, too.

      Three hours and thirty-four minutes later, tears in her eyes, Emma cut her cold pork chop, put a bite in her mouth and grimly began to chew.
