A growl comes from deep within his stomach as he glances up at the clock. Time seems to be moving at a sluggish pace as he watches the hands tick. Only five more minutes until the school bell will pierce his longing ears that signals the long awaited lunch break. The smashed peanut butter and jelly sandwich lying at the bottom of his overflowing backpack now sounds like a gourmet meal to his impatient appetite. He can no longer focus on his ancient teachers nagging voice, as he doodles a picture of a juicy cheeseburger on his algebra worksheet. Nothing seems to matter anymore to the growing boy who is struggling to keep composure in his wobbly desk.
