There is this couple that, for at least the last month or two, has been spending most of the day sitting outside the international office. The office is on the fourth floor of the main building of the university, kind of off in a corner. I suppose they feel like it's private there. Or something.
Every time I go into or walk out of the office they are in various states of happiness, sadness, love, anger, etc. The girl lies with her head in the boy's lap, talking talking talking, while he stares longingly at her. They stand and look into each others' eyes, arms around each other, while the girl talks and the boy stares longingly at her. The boy sits, staring longingly, the girl walks around talking more angrily, with more energy. Now they are just sitting, holding hands, staring, and not talking.
I'm kind of fascinated by them, and kind of deeply annoyed. They have such a weird dramatic little thing going on, and I love to watch it. On the other hand their relationship makes me a little nauseous.
But I can't decide whether I would be sad or not if they suddenly disappeared. The ladies in the office and I have discussed rigging up some kind of hidden camera and starting a web reality series. We've also discussed strategically giving them unpleasant glances every time we walk by so maybe they realize that our little corner of hallway isn't their bedroom. But probably they don't care. They are pretty deep in their feelings and each others' faces.
And my guess is they like to be watched, or they wouldn't be there.
But don't they have other stuff to do? Like classes? Jobs?
