The unexpected friend

One day a kid sat next to me and started eating lunch 
He did not say hello to me, he sat and ate his lunch
So then I introduced myself, and he just ate his lunch
I tried to talk to him a little, but he was rude and ate his lunch.

The next day I didn't want to see that kid who ate his lunch.
However he sat next to me and ate there for a month. 
I talked to him each day, you know, told stories as he munched
And he never said anything, he sat and ate his lunch.

One day I didn't see the kid who sat and ate his lunch
I should have been relieved for that, but I missed him and his munch.
The seat on my left side was bare, there was no slurp or crunch.
This got me very mad because I missed him very much.

The next day the kid sat next to me and began to eat his lunch.
I asked him why he sits with me as he sat and ate his lunch.
He looked me in the face and smiled, he gave a playful punch. 
Because you are my friend, he said, then we sat and ate our lunch.
