The Worst Locker Ever

I have the worst locker ever.

This isn’t because it’s all the way down the end of a random hallway or because it doesn’t open unless I kick it - which makes me look very stupid, let me say.

No, it’s because it is also right next to a certain someone’s locker. Now don’t get me wrong, my locker … neighbor, I suppose you could call it, is so nice. But here’s the thing — she and her boyfriend have officially claimed it as their spot.

Every morning, all I want to do is get rid of three books I lugged to school and in order to do that, I must separate two people who seem like they could be permanently attached! Once you’ve managed to detach them, you start small talk to be polite. While you are talking to them, though, he finds it necessary to wrap his arms around her like she is about to run away. He might as well put her on a leash!

They especially show this PDA when I am with my boyfriend. Honestly. They’ll kiss and stare at us and then repeat this step until we finally walk off. When will they realize we won’t fight them to claim victory of the PDA championship?

Anyway, it’s on my locker and enough to make me sick!
