We asked this group, all students at Marymount Manhattan, to choose one person to be the subject of the questions. Everyone immediately pointed at Hailey (even Hailey).

ANAHEED Were you guys somewhere before this?

DESTINY Yeah, we were at a…where were we?

KEIRA We were in Brooklyn.

DESTINY At a concert. We were at a concert.

ANAHEED What concert?

KEIRA I don’t even know.

DESTINY It was for this band that we go to a lot. They’re called the End Men. They’re really cool. It was just like really, really cool. It was cheap.

LOLA Is there something special about the show?

DESTINY It was like a 420 show.

LOLA How do you all know this band?

JAHMANE We just randomly went to a show once and they were there.

DESTINY And we got really cool with them, so we go all the time now.

ANAHEED How come?
