"So, is there any particular reason why she said that?" Says the section leader.
"Uh... how the f**k am I supposed to know? She's been sending me mixed signals this whole... Ugh, hold on... FIGHT!"
The fight song roars through the stadium as the conversation dissolves for the millionth time.
"Anyway, so she just sat me down and was like, 'Look, I don't like where this is going and neither should you' and I was like, 'Uhh, f**k yes I like where this is going. No restraints is the only way to go!"
The section leader laughs heartily and shoots him a high five before beginning the drum beat for the war chant. His comrade is tall, red haired and cocky. Beyond cocky.
"So she put an end to it after what, six months? That's stupid."
"Yeah it's stupid. What a dumb b***ch." He pauses for a moment, shaking his head. "Where's James?"
"You didn't see him get sick on the field?" A cymbal player turns at the sound of James' name.
"He puked EVERYWHERE. You didn't see it?" He manages through intense laughter, handling his cymbals like machetes.
"Naw, I was focused on not plowing over the other rooks. He's too big to knock over." Says the red head. At this, the cymbal player turns back around, still laughing. Another stands song pushes at the crowd's enthusiasm.
"Yeah, I think James is still sitting down below (meaning inside the stadium) with some water and stuff." Chimes in the section leader.
"Mhh." Mutters the red head.
Silence falls between them for quite a bit, songs coming and going.
"Do you watch Jersey Shore?"
"Um, no. Why, you gay?" Retorts the section leader. The red head punches him on the shoulder.
"No, I was just wondering! Apparently when we go down for Gives You Hell, people are doing a Jersey Shore thing. I've never seen it either, a**hole." Grumble.
None of this is intended to be offensive, so please forgive me if it is. I am merely quoting others. Thank you.
I really laughed when I read the ending! This assignment was really fun for me. Imagine if you had a conversation like this one and saw it the next day on this blog?
ReplyDeleteWell, your writing is really good; I liked reading it a lot. I could only point out that 'b***ch' is spelled with too many letters. And when you put things in caps, it usually means the person is yelling. When they put emphasis on the word—which could be sarcasm, disbelief, etc.—that's when you put italics. I think, don't take my word for it, but that would be a good question to ask actually...
And no, I wasn't offended, don't worry!
Haha, I just read this one and started literally laughing out loud. I found that sometimes out of context, conversation can seem really weird and other times it actually is just weird conversation! If I am ever in a situation where I end up having to be alone waiting somewhere for an extended period of time, I usually end up people watching and eavesdropping on accident and it really is entertaining!
