Food Field Trips, Friday 12/6, 2nd Period

[stykera]

Stark had just had something of a time in Summer’s class. Stark was regretting some life choices. Namely today’s choice of trip for his class in light of where they’d just gone.

“Today,” he said, “I arranged for us to visit The Taco Museum in Los Angeles even if it doesn’t really open until tomorrow shhhh.”

Yes, he avoiding eye contact with Summer while he spoke. Having only one eye did make that somewhat easier.

“This is a new ‘pop-up’ museum so I’m not entirely sure what to expect there. Tacos, of course. The museum invites us to join them ‘in celebrating the art, culture, and joy of tacos.’ So…I assume there will be tacos for eating and enjoying in other ways as well. And hopefully we can all learn something about tacos as well.”

He looked around at the assembled students. “I hope everyone is hungry. Shall we go and enjoy some tacos?”

He winced a little even as the words left his mouth.

"Oh, it was for my benefit?" Stark asked. "Not so you could watch me and others squirm?"

He turned his head to offer a slight grin. "It was very... educational. Enlightening."

And he'd gone to the gift shop. Of course he had.

"Did you learn anything?"

"Did you learn anything?"

"The squirming," Summer stated, "was just an added benefit. And you know what?"

She seemed to take a moment to consider it legitimately, which ended up knocking her smirk down slightly and causing her to shake her head because maybe she learned some things she rather wished she hadn't, but overall?

"I did. A lot of it was just confirming some things I already knew, but there were a few new things in there, too."

For better or for worse.

"Admit it, though," she then continued, "it may have been uncomfortable, but it was pretty cool, right?"

"It was definitely interesting," Stark agreed. "But I wouldn't have come here today if I'd known your plan!"

"Really?" Summer asked, eyes wide, head tilted, lips slightly pursed against the urge to spoil the attempted cluelessness with another smirk. "Why not?"

"Because I wouldn't have combined the trips on purpose."

It was much funnier if it was accidental! Also he wouldn't have set himself up like that.

"But...it's fine that I did, I think. Gives me things to think about."
