The halls of a high school are the most destructive and obnoixous place to be but also the most peaceful and soul searching place to be
Every teenager in the building is in the halls in the exact moment everyone is in one clump loud, messy, and thought provoking
you can hear bits of every passing conversation fleeting gossip disruptive insults blaring music
all the bits gather and swirl in each others heads weaving into our thoughts and popping up in small talk making your sentence a pop culture reference before your own eyes
If you walk a certain way head down unless you see your locker a few steps behind the last person in the middle of the right side you just disappear people don't recognize your existance
You melt into the routine of your daily walk in the hallways you're always walking near the same people each passing period
you don't know their names but they are your friends when you drop your books, the two soccer players that hate their coach help you because they always walk behind you and need you to walk so they can blend in too
the girl in front of you that seems to have self esteem issues because shes wearing XXL shirts when she's only a Large whenever she sneezes you acknowledge her when no one else has or even would
we've all fallen into the trap of the hallways vacant yet totally cramped feeling we've been molded by it we are part of the hallways
