Delicious duo

I am back at the food area with Skillet 360 and newton bro’s. Right now it is slightly slow which is odd because it is currently 12:30, a good lunch time in my opinion. Behind me sits a very elderly man and woman. In front of me a middle aged woman with curly hair is doing her homework. She looks like she may be a little sick because she is blowing her nose every couple minutes. A guy with long hair goes to skillet 360 and orders a burrito,. He looks very relaxed and in my opinion looks like he may be under the influence of drugs. His eyes are half open and he goes to sit in a corner of the room. As he sits he opens his burrito and has a large grin. He smiles as he looks at his burrito and takes the first bite. He seems to enter a blissful state as he enjoys his burrito. After each bite he stares at it in with so much joy. He finishes it rather quickly and on his last bite closes his eyes and savors the flavor. He then gets up and leaves threw the door that leads outside. An old man who seems to be a professor talks to a student about the degree the student is seeking. There seems to be older people in here then there is usually. The usual age group is from about 18-28’ish. Today that seems extended to about 18-60 but the mean leaning to the higher end of the scale. The elderly ma talking with the student is eating fries while he talks. Another girl walks in with a bag of grocery store cookies and sites down. She eats a couple while reading a paper, she hears her name called at newton bros and goes to get her drink. When she returns she packs her things and leaves quickly. Before she left she took a picture of her drink, likely for social media or snap chat. The girl with the curly hair in front of me has a bagel from newton bro’s and a drink from skillet 360. She has slowly began to pick up her stuff now that it is about 1 o clock. Three people sit alone while everyone else in the room is in pairs or groups. A group of five woman sir together and laugh loudly. Everyone else in the room is relatively quiet except for two girls, one shows the other something on her phone and they both laugh every couple minutes. All woman in the room are wearing pants, probably do to the mornings freshness this morning. And all the men in the room are also wearing pants, except for 2 who are wearing denim shorts. The two girls who were laughing get up, go get a refill on their drinks and then leave the room.
