Usually high school romance is frankly just annoying and gross. The drama that goes along with high schoolers' dating is ridiculous and I have seen WAY more PDA in our hallways than I have ever wanted to see in a lifetime and I am only 29!
BUT... cupid's arrow has hit two sweet little girls this past week and I have to admit I am enjoying watching the innocence that these girls still have!
One freshmen girl is very quiet. She seldom talks to anyone besides me and two other shy girls in her class. But, I have recently noticed her being a bit giggly when one boy talks in class. (Now, he is freaking HILARIOUS and I have complimented him on several occasions on his humor, but she has never shown her appreciation for this until about a week ago.) And then today, she was in the middle of a game of Mancala (they are allowed to play this when they are done with their classwork) and as soon as the boy asked for help on directions for his activity she stopped her game and said she would help. She then proceeded to stand back by him and his buddies to "help" them as needed giggling the entire time!! SOOOOOOOOOOO cute!! I think I have just witnessed this girl with her first crush and it just brings me back to the George Salloum and Kirk Oswald days... oh to be 14 again :-P
And then, in my second period I assigned new partners and one girl came out to me during my hall duty upset because I "put her with the cutest guy in the class." When I looked astonished she further explained that he was so cute she got shy and couldn't talk or focus on her math work. Again... SO CUTE!! Especially because this girl is 17 and is still so innocent that a cute boy makes her nervous!
I LOVE the naivety of these girls! I love to think that there is still some innocence in the teenagers of today and these two girls have given me hope!
So here's to these girls and all the others out there! May they stay sweet and innocent as long as possible :)
