Small talk

I find your analysis of the (assumed) teenage mind quite underwhelming. Perhaps you would like to elaborate more on how these two are so oblivious to each other's inner thoughts when supposedly everyone else knows about them. Furthermore, if everyone knows it, why do they not guide this pre-relationship to fruition? Do the boy and girl lack friends? Or are their friends not actually knowledgeable about these feelings? If such is the case, then not "everyone" would know about their feelings, rendering your statement false. I suppose an argument against this could be made with the assumption that "everyone" is lazy/indifferent to the cause. However, I find it hard to believe that nobody would be willing to step up to ignite this relationship. Another flaw: How did everyone aquire the knowledge of these feelings when not even the boy and girl know about it? Is someone a mind reader? Are they all mind readers? I've never met someone who could accurately read minds, but for your sake lets say there is someone out there who can, and lets say they did find out these feelings through this power. How did the others aquire this knowledge? Unless the boy and girl are hard-of-hearing, use absolutely no communications media, and tend to avoid human contact, surely they must have heard something about the other's feelings. I find this vague assumption that "Everyone knows it, everyone but them" incredibly flawed. It mentions absolutely nothing of who "everyone" includes. It is lacking in important details needed to understand the background between the two (again we can only assume at this point because of the lack of details). And there is no logical reason that everyone could know about these feelings if the boy and the girl don't even know in the first place. Small talk is not an appropriate title for this blog either. It mentions nothing of them talking to each other. HOW INFURIATING!!!
