every school has its own version of lover's ville. typically, it is a long stretch of land area, preferrably grassy and lined with trees (for maximum comfortability). whether it is secluded or not does not matter to the citizens of lover's ville (no, i dont care if you're studying for midterms, i need this place to snuggle up with my cuddly-wuggly, rolly-polly, candy-dandy sugar plum! Xp), for as long as they can touch, gaze, kiss (!),grope (!!!) with each other. this is the place where lovers display their love to the whole exasparated studentry, find a partner for themselves, flirt, show off and God forbid, break up. almost always, lover's ville is a public domain, despite the displayed intimacy meant for private moments. this is usually the school's center of attention, where 'mirons' and 'tambays' get to peep and push their noses in other people's smooching, i-wuv-u-wuv-me-too sessions. some even bet on the outcome of so-and-so's love life.
in my school, lover's ville is located in the kiosks, under the sprawling acacia trees. in other schools, lover's ville means the canteen, the library, the parking lot in front of the hospital (good diversional activities for recuperating patients), the backfield, the pathways (dual purpose: snuggle and judge)...in short, anywhere that is obviously public meant to be used for something essential by the public (the better to annoy mortals like you, my sweet).
never has blatant show of affection ever been so ambivalent...entertaining and grossly hilarious (oh joe! you love me!! you really love me!!) at the same time, sickening and oh so annoying.
get a room.
