Going to a private high school with about 60 students isn't easy.
It's not easy socially, if we're being honest.
Spending five days a week, 6 1/2 to 8 hours a day with the same people
over and over and over again
you get close... like a family close.
And that can either be a great thing or it can be a bad thing.
As a family, we have arguments with each other, we share food, we borrow each other's calculators, we drink each other's Dr. Peppers(without asking haha)
and it's okay, because we're close.
But being this close is awkward for relationships.
In a school with 60 students aged 14-19
it gets weird, maturity levels are different, hormones are crazy,
being a teenager sucks. And we're all dealing with it together,
and us all being teenagers, everyone starts coupling up.
(but it's either super cute or hella awkward because there's only 60 of us)
When I was in freshman orientation, one of the teachers warned us not to date, because it was a bad idea and almost always ended badly.
(which i have noticed is the truth, Ruth)
See, I love my school though, I really do.
But homegirl over here also wants to get that real puppy-love high school romance.
And I kind of don't want to date anyone at my school,
mostly because it would make things awkward around the building
Let's be realistic here : me in a relationship setting?
oh you're asking for a brand new fox sitcom and a big bowl of awkward.
Buuuuuuut,
I've only got two more years to make my high school romance happen.
I've only got two more years of high school.
I wanna have one of those romances you see in the movies.
You know the ones I'm talking about, the ones with the staying up late just hanging out
going to wal-mart together at 3am, trying to make cupcakes and them ending up burned
or like hanging out in some park just chilling together i don't know
(i've watched too many rom-coms, seriously)
I just want one of those cute flirty relationships.
I just want that flittery fluttery feeling you get (or are supposed to get) from a high school relationship.

This being said, I'd also like to say, I personally think that in relationships you've got to like the other person, you can't just date them because it will be fun, or it's practice, because in the end someone will definitely get hurt, and hurt feelings are never ever fun.
oh p.s. if you're gonna date i'd like to say be cautious as to where you decide to play tongue hockey (props to saint c for the term)
because nobody, i repeat, nobody wants to see you getting all makey-outey in front of their locker while they're trying to get to class.
just saying'
P.P.S Sometimes with high school relationships, you never know what's gonna happen. My parents met when my mom was 16 and a junior in high school and my dad was 18 and recently graduated... they were married and had three kids, you seriously never know.
So, yeah...
