You suddenly feel uneasy. You're thinking about Kate, your closest friend in the world, like she were nothing more than a cheeseburger!
"Kate...um....I need to tell you about something. I'm really...REALLY...hungry."
She giggles, resting her hands on her knees.
"Geez, so what's new? Greedyguts."
You shake your head urgently. If you ate her, you probably couldn't have her back. And you don't want that, no matter how hungry you are.
"No, you don't understand! I mean....I wanted to eat you alive. I don't know how, but I know I could."
She blinks a few times, her smile twitching. You've never really lied to her, but this truth is a little hard to swallow. (Yes. Bad pun.)
"Um....okay....uh....please don't? I'd rather not end up lunch, y'know."
You nod, breathing a sigh of belief. She does believe you, even if a little incredulously.
"I'm not gonna. You're my best friend. But I'm starving, and I think I need...a person. but I don't know who! I can't just grab some stranger and eat them in the street, the cops would shoot me!"
She looks thoughtful now, tilting her head.
"Well....I don't think I'd mind if you got rid of Sam for me."
Her boyfriend of a year, it's no secret that they've had problems of late. She caught him cheating, and has been deciding whether to forgive him. Sounds like she's decided not to.
