So picture this, it’s 7:45 Monday morning and you’re walking through those double doors leading into the glass hallway.
You take a right and start heading towards the office and pass a girl saying “Do you ever have the urge to yell ‘Nobody cares about your opinion’ at the top of your lungs?” You decide to hold back any and all of your smart-aleck remarks and just continue to your locker.
As you’re collecting all the books you need for your morning classes you overhear some guy talking about how he hasn’t brushed his teeth in two days. Fun fact: if you don’t brush your teeth at least twice a day we cannot be friends.
So now you have two choices, you can either stand at your locker or go for a walk. You look across the hallway and see a couple making out and choose the walk.
So you walk down to the freshman hallway, quickly realize that was a bad idea, and head back towards the H hallway.
As you walk through the hallway you hear a girl yell “Since when is New Jersey a state?” Actually, New Jersey became a state on December 18, 1787. You think to yourself, “How about that history class, huh?”
You pass a few friends say “hi” and then you see those girls that see each other every day yet still choose to yell each other’s names super excitedly when they see each other and run towards each other every morning. Just stop.
Then you walk past a couple of girls yelling at each other. “Girl, I will slice!”
Slice what? Turkey? Ham? A turkey sandwich sounds pretty good right now. I wonder if she works at Port of Subs or Subway. Make me a sammich, por favor.
Although it was a long day, you did manage to make it through the whole day. I mean, you may have fallen asleep in the third hour, but who doesn’t?
The hall is a weird place. Some days you hear things like the stuff I put in this story. Other days you hear things that can make you stop and think.
Either way, if you take the time to stop and listen you won’t be sorry. So keep talking, Lowry.
