In The Day
You quickly walk in the restaurant, finding an empty black table in the corner to sit at. You usually wait outside for your friend, but you didn't feel like waiting today. It was too cold out.
Your eyes scan the menu intently as you wait for your friend to arrive. You always say that you'll look at the menu and try something other than your usual order, but you never change your mind.
"What can I get you to drink?" a waitress asked as she approached the table.
"I'll have a water and I think my friend will be fine with the same," you smile at them.
As the waitress walks away to get the drinks, you spot your friend enter through the front doors.
"Hey," you smile as they sit down on the seat across from you.
"Hey, sorry I'm late," your friend apologizes.
"You're fine," you smile as you look down at the menu, "I've already ordered our drinks, but I think she'll be back to take our orders soon."
"Cool," your friend smiled, "I already know what I'm going to get."
"Monster tots?"
"Yes, but the vegetarian version."
"I didn't know that there was such a thing," you say.
"Yeah, I started researching on more things that I can do to help reduce my impact on the environment and they said that reducing meat consumption was something easy that people could do."
"I think the Earth would be fine if you still ate meat."
"The United Nations said that we only have until 2030 to change what we're doing in order to not cause a lot of global warming and stuff."
"Oh, wow," you say, glancing up from the menu.
"Yeah, it's-" your friend gets cut off by the waitress.
"Do you two know what you want to order?" they smiled.
