There’s always that one couple in the hallway that are constantly making out and have their hands all over each other.
Everyone can see them.
Everyone tries to ignore them.
No one says anything.
Or at least, not to them.
Let’s break the ice and recognize that this is school. No one wants to see that.
There’s also always the poor freshman who just wants to get their Geometry book, but his locker is unfortunately placed — right in the middle of the two lovebirds.
Honestly, if you and your “soulmate” are seriously “in love,” good for you. You don’t need to show it to the rest of the student body.
Most students have just gotten out of bed in the morning, and the last thing they want to see is people being all lovey-dovey.
We just ate breakfast, for goodness sake.
Some people are so enamored with each other they are walking down the hallway while still holding on to each other for dear life.
First off, that doesn’t look easy or comfortable.
Second, most likely you are causing a bit of a traffic jam. So, please, kindly walk normally.
Now, there is a difference between holding each others’ hands and holding each others’ bodies.
If you want to hold hands, go for it. That is not a problem, but please keep up the pace. We thank you for keeping it PG for the sake of everyone around you.
It’s not about whether or not you like each other — we understand you’re fond of each other.
It’s just common courtesy.
Something that intimate doesn’t have a place in Blue Valley’s hallways, or at least not where people are trying to receive an education. It makes everyone around you feel awkward.
There’s probably a rule about keeping it clean in the hallways somewhere, otherwise known as a purple-free zone. Boys are blue, and girls are red. Mix the two together, and what do you get? Purple.
So let’s keep it purple-free, shall we?
And for all of you who feel the need to do this in between every class: you will see each other in 50 minutes.
The world is not going to end in that time. It will be OK. You can’t possibly miss them that much.
