The preps, jocks, average joes, nerds, punks, and goths; you don’t exactly need a tour to figure out which table falls into what category. When you enter the lunch room you are entering the center of all gossip in the making. Lunch is the only extended period of time during the day where you are allowed to talk and in high schoo,l 90% of the time that means gossip.
Some people say the most critical part of the first day of school is where you decide to sit in the lunchroom, because that decides your social standards for the rest of the year. Standards which often are mistaken as the most important thing in high school. I would disagree. It doesn’t matter where you sit on the first day, in most cases you end up at multiple tables before choosing one.
Where you end up sitting in the end is often where you sit on the social scale, and what you are labeled. It could mean nothing to you or everything to you but regardless it is who you are known as.
The people that it means everything to are the ones that are probably at their peak, the best part of there lives. As for the people for whom it doesn’t mean anything, their time will come they just have to wait.
The gossiping that goes on in the lunch room travels with people, but not past graduation day, when real life starts.
