Lunch 2

There was alot of new people in the cafe, they were much younger maybe high school aged. Different groups seemed to to stick together, partly separated by age and separated by gender. It is interesting how in high school the gender difference is very prominent, the guys sit with guys and the girls sit with girls. The interaction between them is far more awkward, the younger boys and girls were the most isolated. As the age of the kids increased mixed groups were more common, until with the college age kids mixed groups are the norm. There was a group of younger guys sitting near me, maybe in the 10th grade. They seemed nervous and kept glancing around. I suspect this is because of the college age girls sitting near them, these girls are quite attractive and the young guys talk very quietly. The group of boys seem very interested in the blonde girl, and the dark haired girl, constantly looking over and giggling and blushing whenever the girls look there way. The group sitting at the bar stool area is clearly older, Im guessing seniors, this is a mixed group with I suspect a few couples. This group looks mostly Hispanic, with a one Caucasian girl. This group was much louder than the younger boys and much more confident. Instead of moving as a group they would break off and get food by themselves, and would look around actively and make eye contact with others. Some of the tables are taken by older people, mostly women who seem to be in charge of the high school kids, They talk among themselves and seem to be parents to some of the kids. Every once in a while a kid would come up and ask for some money, the older woman would give them the money and the kid would sometimes say "thank you mom" or call her a Ms. More than likely the kid asking for money is the son or daughter of the older woman, with the other kids being their kids friends or a kid of one of their friends. The maturity difference between the age groups is very apparent, with the things they talk about and how they act.
