"I know you all hate me because I've called you all into school on an early morning but please stop groaning and listen" Professor Green yelled with immediately shut us up. At midnight last night the short bald man sent out an email asking all his Psych students to report to his class room in the morning at 8.

Normally I wouldn't have a problem with this but I was on summer break I wasn't supposed to be in school I was supposed to be back in the city enjoying the next two months of my life. Instead I was in my freshman Psycho class and I didn't even know why.

"As you all know to continue my course you need to complete summer assignments and after months of planning I've come up with them" Professor said then pulled out a Manila folder out of his briefcase.

Professor Green is one of the best teachers on the east cost. I worked my ass off all throughout high school just to even be considered for his class. Only twenty five get in and that's only if you pass the exams and interview with Green himself. Luckily I'm a smart witty girl so getting in wasn't too hard but just because you got in doesn't mean you get a definite spot for the next for years.

"Since Psychology is about studying the mind and behavior and all of that I've come up with a project both of us will enjoy" He said, we all stared at him confused.

"For this whole summer you lucky twenty-five get to study they minds of bands" Green said."Like boy bands?" A girl asked.

"Any band, boy, girl, old men, lesbians" Green said, we laughed. "Do we get to pick?" The girl asked. "Nope because most of you will pick the most popular band in this pile, so with that being said I've chosen" he said then opened the folder.

He started calling out names one by one along with the band they were assigned. Most of the bands were small and not really known, I knew a few. For example the girl that asked the questions got little mix, this British girl group. This kid names Joe got Arctic Monkeys and this girl got Fifth Harmony. Odd choices for bands to study.

"Abigail my dear Abigail" Green sang, I looked up and met his eyes. "The 1975" he said, I nodded then wrote it down on my hand. I didn't know who they were, I didn't really want to know.

"Ab you're in luck" Green said. "How so?" I asked. "They're on tour" he said, my eyes got wide. "And that means?" I asked, he smiled. "Well my dear Abigail that means you'll also be on tour this summer" Professor said, I groaned then slid down in my seat.

"How exactly did you set all this up?" Joe asked. "I got my connections plus a lot of the bands were more then welcome to be guinea pigs" Professor Green said as he passed around out rubric.

"This project will decide whether you get invited to study with me next year" Green said."If your project sucks don't even bother dropping it off at my door" he added, we all nodded.

"What you're going to do for this project is easy. You will study the band and their members, I want to know everything about them. The good the bad and everything in between. For most of you you'll have to contact you band by email or skype I don't know what's best" he said.

"For people like my dear Abigail whose band is on tour you'll be living with them, I expect all your projects to be amazing, it shouldn't be less since you'll be with your band for the next two months" he said, we nodded.

"Treat this like an interview, ask them the easy questions first then dig deep. Also for all you people who think you'll finish this early you won't this will take all summer and if it doesn't you get points deducted. Take your time they won't open up until you warm up to them" He said, we nodded.

"Any questions?" he asked, nobody raised their hands thankfully. "Great now go, if you have any questions email me or call" Green said as we walked out.

"Professor?" I asked as everybody left. "Yes abbi?" he asked. "Can't I just email these people for the summer instead of going on tour with them?" I asked trying my hardest to enjoy this summer.

"No, Abigail I've read your papers and journal, what better way to see the world than to travel with a band" he said. "They're good people Abbi, I know their manager don't worry I put you in safe hands" he said, I nodded.

"So you picked them for me on purpose?" I asked. "Yes, you've said multiple times that you wanna see the world well this band is doing exactly that this summer and since you're not in the band you can go explore while they're performing" he said, I smiled.

"Thank you sir" I said, he smiled. "Enjoy your summer Abbi, make it memorable" He said, I nodded. "Oh I'm sure it will be" I chuckled then walked out.

When I got home to my parents house my mom was making lunch. I moved back in with my mom a few weeks ago after school finished. I was originally going to get an apartment after I finished my freshman year but my parents convinced to move back in. I don't mind, they give me my space plus I don't have to pay rent!

"How was Professor Greens meeting?" My mom asked as I sat down on a barstool. "Interesting, we got our summer assignments" I said. "Oo tell me" she said, I giggled.

"Uh we have to study these bands" I said. "Oh that's weird" she said, I nodded. "Yup and mines just so happens to be going on tour this summer" I said, her face got stift.

"Tour? For how long? Where?" she asked, I sighed. "Till December but I only have to stay till school starts up again and all around the word" I said, she frowned.

"Well I don't feel okay with this" she said. "I talked to Green about it and he said he's okay with it since he knows the manager" I said. "But all summer honey with strangers" she said.

"Yeah well I'm meeting them soon at their first show which is in the city" I said, she nodded. "Wow I can't believe this, do you want to do this?" She asked. "I don't know kinda, I'm nervous but it's my grade plus I get a free pass around the world" I said, she nodded then walked around the isle and pulled me into a hug.

"God I'll miss you" she said, I chuckled. "Oh god mom I'll be back when they get breaks and whenever else I can" I said, she sighed. "I know it's just you've been gone enough now you're leaving again" she said, I frowned.

"Awe please don't be sad this is going to be amazing watch" I said as I pulled away. "Well I'm happy for you" she said, I smiled. "I gotta to research these people but call me when foods done" I said, she nodded then kissed my cheek before I went upstairs.

After I left for college my parents turned my room into another guest room. They repainted my pink walls white then took down my bulletin board and replaced it with this ugly painting of a fish. My trippy bed sheet was now this white bed set from target.

Luckily the only thing they left was my computer desk with my desktop on it. I had a laptop for traveling but it was at my best friend Isis's house. The desk top was a present from my dad and the laptop I bought on my own. It was my first ever expensive purchase because we all know how much Apple Mac books cost.

I sat down on my desk and started researching this band. This summer would be crazy. Instead of going across the country with Isis like I planned I was now going to travel the world with five guys that I didn't even. I would be going to places I've dreamed of going too just not with the people I want to go with. Here's the The 1975!
