Time: 12:34 pm. Lunch time.
Setting: Starbucks Coffee.

Calum: It's white and gold.

Ashton: (clearly frustrated, holding phone out and shaking it) No! It's blue and black!

Calum: (squints) All I'm seeing is white and gold.

Ashton: (frowns, turns to Michael) Blue and black or white and gold?

Michael: (rolls eyes, leans towards Ashton's phone) I see a white dress with gold trimmings.

Ashton: (huffs) It's blue and black!

Michael: I heard that if you see black and blue then it means you have, like, emotional issues. Something like that.

Ashton: (pauses) So...I'm...sad? But, I feel happy. (grins for emphasis) Maybe it's just my eyes.

Michael: (shrugs) I don't get why everyone is so obsessed with this stupid dress.

Ashton: Because it's so confusing! (groans) It's blue and black! I see blue and black!

Calum: Ashton, chill out. It's just a dress.

Ashton: (sees Luke walk in, runs toward him despite Calum's protests and shows him his phone) What colors do you see?

Luke: (confused) What?

Ashton: The dress! What color is the dress?!

Luke: (frowns, squints at the screen) Blue and black.

Ashton: (points at Calum) HA! In your face, Calum! (turns to Luke, holds up hand) High five!

Luke: (stared at hand, after several seconds finally returns the high five awkwardly)

Ashton: (beams, heads toward the doors) Later, suckas!

Calum: (sees Luke's confused face) Don't mind him.

Michael: Yeah. Ashton's a weird guy. Awesome but really weird.

Luke: (rolls his eyes) Like I care.

QOTD: #blackandblue or #whiteandgold?

AOTD: The dress is blue and black but due to our perceptions based on the environment we are in (natural or artificial light), we see different colors. This is called color constancy.
