A conversation that happened tonight before my class at school (keep in mind these are college boys in southern New Jersey, and they have only spoken to me once before when they needed help on an assignment)
Me: *scrolling through tumblr looking at pics of 1D
Boy 1: hey isn't that One Direction?
Boy 2: I heard one of them quit the band yesterday.
Me: yeah that's true, his name is Zayn.
Boy 3: he really just left?
Boy 4: I read somewhere that he wasn't happy and that he was stressed and stuff. Sucks that that has to happen to people.
Boy 2: well I mean, they're still a band right? Just one less?
Me: yeah the other four are still together.
Boy 4: oh well that's okay then I guess.
Boy 1: I don't know I still think that's really sad. Like, I get upset when my favorite sports teams trade good players, you know? It's never the same after that but you still love them.
Boy 4: yeah that shit sucks. *to me* are you like, a big fan of them?
Me: yeah. Really really big fan.
Boy 3: that's gotta be tough on you then. I'm really sorry.
Boy 2: yeah me too. I'm not a fan myself, but it's still sad to think about.
Me: yeah, it is. I gotta admit I did cry a few times. *nervous laughter*
Boy 1: that's cool. I cry nearly every time the Phillies lose a game, it's like the same thing.
Boy 2: yeah don't sweat it. It's normal to be upset when something you like gets shaken up.
Boy 3: yeah and if you want, we can do this assignment for you so you don't have to?
*me thinking to my self 'YES PLEASE'*
