In the commons, things were disorganized to say the least. Considering there were so many students at the school, there were different lunch periods for the differing age groups. Aside from the preschool section, which was in their own sector, the elementary kids ate first, followed by the middle school section, and concluding with the high school kids. Normally, the staff member lunches correspond with the respective age bracket that the staff is associated with. However, with the staff room down for maintenance, the powers that be determined that all staff would share with the high school kids. This included Derek.
Walking into the commons, Derek was understandably nervous. With all the chaos of both staff and high school students wandering about, Derek's safety was unstable. Swerving around several pairs of feet, Derek barely managed to avoid getting stepped un before even getting his food. After managing to stand off from other people, the little guy got his food and made a break for an open spot at a table. Once again, he had to dodge feet like crazy as the commons continued to be a madhouse. Fortunately, Derek managed to get away okay and find an available seat. Masterfully, he climbed up the table with his food in tow and sit atop the table. A few students came and sat near him, but it didn't bother Derek. He got to work on his food, feeling as comfortable as he could be.
A few minutes later, as Derek was chowing down on his main course, a student came and took the seat in front of him. Derek looked up to find the student distracted on their phone. Shrugging it off, he returned to his meal. However, just a moment later, a thud behind him startled the little guy. He turned and saw another student, this one a rather tall and fit black girl, taking the seat he was at. "Excuse me," Derek called out as he turned to face the girl, "this seat is taken. If you could just move to the other- ah!"
*THUD*
*SMACK*
The student dropped her tray of food right on top of Derek. The plastic thud didn't register to either the girl or the student sitting across from her as anything unusual. Beneath the tray, the little assistant lay motionless as the food carrier pinned him firmly. "Come on," Derek thought, "First, a girl stepping on me, now this? Give me a break." A good break wasn't far away when the black student shifted her tray a touch, giving Derek enough space to maneuver out from underneath it. Sadly, he wasn't able to retrieve his own food, which had been flattened. Sighing, Derek turned to face the girl once again when he stood on his feet. He paused a moment when he saw the girl. "Is that Jess's sister?" Derek asked himself. He wasn't sure, but the tall and fit student looked familiar, as if she was one of Derek's friend's siblings. He called out to her. "Hey! Down here! Do you happen to know Jess Trubisky?" The high school girl paid no attention to Derek and ate her food. She had began chatting up the student in front of her, who appeared to be a friend. Derek shook his head and gave up, turning around to walk away. "Ew, a bug!" a voice suddenly shouted. In an instant, Derek was launched into the air, straight up. "What the hell?" he cried. "Where'd it go?" the voice spoke again. "I don't know, I didn't see it when you hit it," another voice responded. Derek paid little attention to the conversation going on about him. Instead, he was more concerned with his flight path.
*SPLAT*
"Ugh..." Derek moaned, dazed and confused. He sat up, the splurch of a substance calling his attention. "What the- where did I land?" Derek raised his arms to find himself covered in a red sauce. "Oh no..." The little guy looked up to see the athletic black girl looking down at her tray with a fork in hand. She then shrugged and spoke. "I don't know, I don't really care. As long as you hit that thing away, it makes no difference to me." Suddenly, the girl lowered her fork towards the tray. Derek, in a desperate attempt to save himself, tried calling to the girl to get her attention. He regretted it once the fork had arrived, having chosen to call for her attention instead of trying to get out of the slop he was in. The black student picked Derek up in a portion of the meal on her plate. "No, stop!" Derek cried again. Pinned inside the portion of the meal the girl picked up, crying for help was Derek's only option. Unfortunately, it didn't look like the black student noticed him. She opened her mouth wide, the smooth skin of her face growing larger as she pulled the fork closer. "No, no, no!" Derek cried. But it was too late. He was launched into the girl's mouth and slapped onto her tongue.
*SPLURCH*
*SLURP*
*CHEW*
Inside of the girl's mouth, all light vanished. Derek had no idea what was happening as he was constantly being tossed about. He hit the sides of the girl's cheeks, her saliva coating him and washing away bits of the sauce he was previously covered in. The little man struggled to find the way to the black girl's lips, but had no sense of direction. Instead, Derek stumbled onto the girl's tongue and choked down some of her spit. "*cough* *hack* Disgusting!" he yelled. But this cry did nothing to help his cause. Just a moment later, the girl's tongue flicked back, sending Derek flying. He landed with a splat inside the chewed up mush of food the girl had just sliced up. Derek called for help one last time. To no effect. He was dragged backwards and hit the girl's uvula. Desperately, he tried to grab on for dear life, but the hanging object was far too slippery. The high school student then forced Derek into her gullet.
*GLUCK*
*SPLASH*
*GURGLE*
In the span of a few seconds, Derek landed in the high school student's stomach, submerging in her stomach juices. He quickly resurfaced to hear the moans and groans of the organ at work. "Oh no..." Derek whispered. He quickly found a pile of chewed up food and climbed aboard. Because he was in shock, Derek gave little attention to the harsh conditions of this girl's belly. All he cared about was finding a way to survive, specifically finding a way for this student to yak him up. But as time passed and more food rained in from above, things looked slim. Derek sighed in resignation. "I can't believe this happened so early... or at all for that matter. A student ate me." That alarming thought rang in Derek's head as he sat and waited. Waited for either nature to take its course or for his miraculous rescue to come. But the only thing that happened was the passing of time.
