Music Nerds

There was never a time where I would figure out the song before you. By the time I had figured out the genre you had the entire bass chord progression analysed. A constant competition, one that drove everyone else insane. Maybe, at the time if I had really looked around right then I would have seen just how bigoted we were being. Showoffs. Music nerds. Competitive. Inconsiderate. Maybe I would have seen her laugh nervously then erase her answer and start writing again; furiously. I never wanted there to be a time where this would end. A time where we no longer competed. Loudly. Showing off. I used to think that this was good, me and you. Plus John whenever he bothered showed up to class. We were always more competitive though. Always trying to one up the other. Showoffs. Music nerds. Competitive. Inconsiderate. Some might say oblivious.

    I shouldn’t be quarantined. That wasn’t the plan.
