Eavsdropping

*At my brother's frat house
(two kids yelling at eachother from their balcony rooms)

>Bro, I just thought of a great idea?
>>Bro, what?
>We should build a zip line from your room to our room.
>>Would that even work?
>Yeah, we'd just have to start your line at the roof of your balcony and have it slope down towards ours and then we'd be golden.
>>Should we go to walmart now or later?


*In the check out line of walmart
(mom and young boy who grabs a piece of candy from shelf)

>Nicholas! Put that back!
>>But Mom!!
>You just had ice cream and we're about to go home and eat dinner. Not today!
>> MOM! Please?!!
> I said no! Now go help your sister put the items on the counter and don't you ever yell at me like that again.


*At the football game this Saturday
(two girls standing in the row in front of me)

>It's so hot outside.
>>Oh my god, I know. Like could it get any hotter?
>Seriously, this is not okay.
>>Seriously, I'm so ready to leave.
>Me too, we should go.
>>Yeah.


*At the mall
(two girls shopping in the store)

>What do you think of this shirt?
>>It's really cute but what would you wear it with?
>I don't know, I just think it's really cute.
>>I mean, you have that one black skirt you could probably wear it with....
>Oh my god, yeah! You're totally right, I forgot about that. I think I'm gonna try it on.


*Laundry Room
-a guy and a girl(girl1) waiting for their laundry while another girl(girl2) sits beside them

(guy)My roommate just got a bid from a frat last night.
(girl1)Trueee, I don't understand the whole frat and sorority thing. I mean, those kids just pay to have friends. People who join them are so stupid.
(girl2)Um, i'm in a sorority....
~awkwardness for the rest of the time in the laundry room

  1. I definitely like your eavesdropping skills. You seemed to capture some really interesting moments. I really liked the one that’s at your brother’s frat house, and the two people are talking about making a zip line from one room to another. I can’t say that that’s the smartest thing to do, but it was definitely amusing. Those girls were definitely right though. It was way to hot at the football game. I think your dialogue would have been better if you added some more details about the surroundings or the atmosphere of the situation. You may also want to add a description about how this conversation caught your attention, and why you decided to focus on it.
