Highschool Memories Vol.1

I remember lunchtime in the school cafeteria, and searching the crowd for a friend to eat with.
As I wandered around, I could always hear the other kids whispering or talking in hushed tones.
“There goes Billy, probably the nicest and smartest kid in school!”
From the jocks I could hear them exclaim to each other “That Billy, if he only tried out for football our team would be SO much better!”
As I passed pockets of girls huddled together, in-between their giggles I could hear them whisper “I hope Billy asks ME to the prom this year.”
This happened almost every time I made my way through the cafeteria.

I never did find out which kid was Billy.

Why is it that it was always ANOTHER kid who was most popular, or at good at everything? It was all a myth, though. Everyone else probably felt the same.
@FreddieUK Thankfully I became comfortable early on with who I was…the second most popular kid among the second tier of popularity 😁

i remember smoking cigs outside and the teachers smoked inside..

@markinkansas If you had to go to the staff room for any reason when I was at school, as the door opened a blue fug of ciggie smoke wafted out from the fog within. How anyone survived that without getting a serious disease is beyond me. Actually, thinking about it, a number of those old servicemen who taught us didn't last as long as they might have.
