I lost my number. Can I borrow yours?

Though the smitten atmosphere associated with Valentine’s Day is now over, that doesn’t mean the fun has to end. Whether they’re funny, cheesy, ridiculous or just plain bad, pick-up lines can serve as jokes to share with friends or punny phrases to woo that special someone.

There may only be one Valentine’s Day every year, but these MVHS students show us that pick-up lines can be great all year long.
