I kinda got humbled yesterday

I was in a part of town that is often talked about in a derogatory way by people that I know. It’s a place where no one from my side of town would want to live, its houses are small and horrid and the people thought of as rough.
I was nervous walking through, some girls asked me the time and I thought they were going to ask for money or try to steal my phone. Instead they said I had a nice accent and asked where I’m from. When I told them, they said that it was a really nice part of town but they liked the friendliness and community of where they lived.
I kind of expected them to be jealous of us in the nicer part.
