working a double with no break?

Hi all! I got scheduled for a double in a couple weeks. I work 8am-1pm and then 1-6:30pm with no break in between. I’ve never had a double where I didn’t have at least 30 mins in between shifts so I’m not sure how to go about this. Am I supposed to be given a lunch break? I wasn’t sure about the legal side of meal periods since it’s technically two separate shifts and not a continuous 8+ hour shift, but I won’t be leaving at all. I’m in Virginia. If I am supposed to have one and my boss says no, what should I do? Any help is appreciated! I’m just not sure how to go about it. Thank you!
