In a small town with small neighborhoods, nothing really exciting happens. Especially at Foley High School. Foley high school is just like every other high school, the same bare walls, the same boring classes, and the same time. Although, there is two exceptional things about the high school that makes it weird. Make that three things. One is that the school only serves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The second is that the school doesn't let you bring your own lunch; you must eat the lunch that they have there. Then the third thing is that there is a locked door near the kitchens. It is always locked, and always will be locked.
Yepp, Foley High School is a pretty boring place, and Hannah Lox thinks so. She always fells bored in that school. Always had, and always will continue to be. The school doesn't really have the much of a dress code.
But, all of the students seem to dress accordingly, like they were forced to. Hannah is wearing a sleeve-less shirt, a skirt, and sandals. Her dark blonde hair is down. She isn't the type to complain about anything, or even break the rules.
Hannah walks down the corridors slowly, like having no life. She walks into the cafeteria and buys her sandwich automatically. She goes and sits down. Now, normally, she would just eat it, but she doesn't, she looks at it, something that she never has done. She takes apart the sandwich, also something that she never has done. She sees the peanut butter and the jelly bubbling. "EW!" She throws it across the table. She had never been able to do that. A few seconds afterward, she suddenly feels more alive. "hm?" She wonders why suddenly that she feels like she has energy...
Good start....
This sound like the start to an interesting short story. However, JUST the start. There is no middle (in fact, the middle just begin as she chucks away her sandwich) and most certainly no end.
Perhaps you were attempting to 'leave the ending open for interpretation' but for that to happen, you at least need to take the story fully through the Beginning stage, the Middle stage and even start heading into the Ending stage, before ending on the cliffhanger or equivocal final sentence.
Cute set up though. Shame it doesn't follow though.
