All the students at Table 7<br />
are now friends.<br />
Everyone at Table 7 gasped at the same time. All of us<br />
— <strong>Amira</strong> included — stared in wonder at Jack. Maybe he<br />
wasn’t such a rude guy after all. “What I don’t get, though,<br />
is how the month of fasting fits into the equation.” For the<br />
rest of lunch period, <strong>Amira</strong> answered Jack’s questions. She<br />
also explained her family’s religious practices. The rest of us<br />
listened to every word. Then, we all talked about our family<br />
cultures. Lunch period went too quickly.<br />
Looking around the table, I smiled. Table 7 had come<br />
together. We were all friends now. I think that Mrs. Grayson<br />
had the right idea after all.<br />
