"Tyler. Tyler. Helloooooooo"
I hear a voice say. I stop daydreaming and look up. It's Patrick.
"Did you not hear my story about performing at the talent show?" I take a sip of water and act like I'm interested.
"Tyler what are you always staring at? This is lunch time, not daydream time."
He looks behind him at where I was looking. Then he turns back to me and smiles.
"You like Josh dun, don't you?" He starts laughing.
"No I don't don't shut up Patrick."
"Tyler likes who?" Pete says as he sets his lunch tray down. He ruffles my hair and sits down.
"Wait let me guess, Josh dun?" I smack his leg and put my hood on.
"Shut up. you guys talk too loud."
Then Pete whispers something in Patrick's ear.
"Tyler loves josh. Tyler loves josh. Tyler loves Josh." They start chanting.
"Shut up! I don't like Josh dun!" I say slamming my fist on the book next to me. Pete chuckles and Patrick is looking directly behind me, with wide eyes. Is he behind me?
"Well that stinks. I was just gonna give you my number."
I turn around and look up. It's Josh. Josh dun. The hottest guy to walk the face of the earth and I want to swallow his face. Why did he hear me. What do I do. Oh god.
"Um. I-I-I've got a migraine."
What the hell did I just say oh my god. I mean I did have a migraine but why did I say that out loud. What is happening my body is weak and I feel like I'm going to throw up all over josh duns black doc martens.
"What he means to say is that I'm having a party tonight and he wants you to be there." I hear Pete say from behind me. This mother fucker.
"Well that sounds great." He gives me a small smile and oh how I want to kiss those smiling lips of his. Wait did he say yes? My head hurts.
"See ya around Tyler." He waves. He drops something and I grab it.
'Please call me :) 905-778-327.'
I smile widely and put the note in my pocket.
"Oooooo what's the note?"
Pete tackles me and grabs the note out of my pocket. He reads it out loud and makes kissy faces at me. Gosh. He's such a dick. But he's my best friend.
"Your welcome Tyler. I totally hooked you up with your lover." Pete says and Patrick laughs and kisses Petes cheek. They are so gay. Well I mean so am I but whatever it's a figure of speech.
"I hate you. you embarrassed me." I say
"You don't hate me. You love me. Also I'm pretty sure he was digging how embarrassed you were." He laughs again and I flip him off.
The bell rings and I throw my food in the trash. Oh god I have chemistry with josh next.... Fuck my life.
"I'll see you at 8 Tyler!" Patrick and Pete scream and we walk our different ways.
• • • •
I sit down in my seat and wait for the teacher to take role.
"Okay class. We are going to dissect a frog today." Oh god. Why. I am going to throw up. I hate this class so much.
"Also we will be partnering up. You can choose your partners but if you don't get it done by the end of the period you will get a letter grade marked down."
Fuck of course the time we can choose our partners and I don't have a friend in the class. I look down at the ground. Everyone is finding their friends and I'm just sitting here. Then I hear a voice. A familiar voice. Oh god is it.
"Hey is this seat taken?" I look up. Of course it's josh. The hottest guy ever wants to work with me when I actually might throw up on him. I hate my life.
"Um no it's not." I say and look back down at the desk. My teacher puts a frog and many tools right in front of me on the desk. God. So sad. Poor frog.
"aw it's so sad. I don't get why we have to do this. I love animals." I smile at josh. That's exactly what I was thinking.
"Me too. It's disgusting. At least we don't have to dissect a cat. They dissect cats in anatomy." I say with a very sad look on my face. Just thinking about that makes me want to throw up.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" I hear josh say. Then he starts to cry.
"Josh are you okay?" I say worried
"I love cats. how could anyone dissect a cat?!" He yells. This is so sad but really adorable seeing him talk about cats. He's crying but he also looks angry.
"I hate our world." He says as he picks up one of the tools and directs it into the frogs stomach.
"Me too." He splits down the middle of the frogs stomach and I see all of Its organs and insides. I'm starting to feel light headed. Oh god. Am I gonna?

"Tyler?" I hear Josh's voice. my eyes open.
"What the hell happened?" I look around a huge crowd of kids are staring at me.
"You passed out." He said. He looked very worried and it gave me chills.
"How long have I been passed out?"
I say as josh helps me up back in my seat. My head hurts all of a sudden. I hold my head. There's a bump.
"Like two minutes. I'm gonna take you to the nurse. I think you hit your head when you fell."
The teacher gives josh a pass and josh picks me up and walks out of the room.
"You don't have to carry me." I say
"You may have a concussion though." He says, still carrying me.
"You have pretty eyes. Can I touch your hair?" I pull off his beanie and place it on my own head and start playing with his hair.
"You definitely have a concussion." He says and laughs.
"How would you know? You also have a cute butt by the way. Woo are we spinning?"
"Because you are normally shy and now you are talking about my butt. And no we are not spinning." He says and smiles.
"Okay then pretty boy."
He puts me down in the nurses chair and she gives me an ice pack for my head. He stays there and writes something on a sticky note and hands it to me.
"I'm gonna go finish our project so we don't fail." He walks out and I look at the note.
'You also have a cute butt. Please call me when you aren't crazy. Don't go to the party when you have a concussion, I'm worried about you. :)'
I smile and put the note in my pocket. He says I have a cute butt. Wait did he call me crazy?
•••••
It's been two days since josh gave me his number and I'm debating wether or not I should call. He told me to call him when I'm not crazy so I'm guessing that means when my concussion is gone. Fuck it, I'm just gonna do it.
I typed in his number and the phone starts to ring. After about three rings I hear his voice.
"Hello?"
"Hey Josh, it's Tyler." I say very nervously
"Tyler! I've been waiting for you to call! You feeling better?" He says into the phone and I almost squeal when he says it.
"Yeah I'm feeling a lot better. Thanks so much for helping me. Sorry if I said anything weird."
"Oh not it's totally fine. I like helping you." He says and I smile so wide.
"Did you want to hangout or something today?"
"Of course! Do you like Taco Bell? Or is that not a good 'first date' place?"
I almost drop my phone when he says this. A date?
"This is a date?"
"Can it be?" He says and I smile.
"Of course. And yes I think Taco Bell is very appropriate."
we both laugh and I swear I might squeal.
"Pick you up at 12? Cause I mean that's lunch time." He says and he sounds nervous.
"That's perfect. I'll text you my address."
"Okay see you then Tyler!
"Okay bye!"
"Wait!"
"Yes?"
"You have a cute butt."
He says quickly and then phone call is over. I giggle and throw my phone on my bed. Wow. I have a date. I have a date with cutest boy in the entire world. The boy that cries about cats. Wow. This means I have to look perfect. I go in my closet and pick out some things. My black, shear, flowy button up and some black jeans. Too much black? Oh well. I put on my red shoes and comb through my hair.
•••••
'Ding dong'
I hear the door and get up and slowly open it. Josh dun. Wow he looks beautiful. He's wearing a floral long sleeved button up and some black skinny jeans. Also black converse.
"Joshua dun." I say
"Tyler Joseph." he says back and laughs
"You um. You look great." I say with a small smile and he kisses my cheek.
"Thanks, so do you. Are you ready to go?" I nod my head and we walk to the car.
••••
"You literally like everything I like!" Josh says and it was true. We are very similar. We have been at this Taco Bell for two hours talking about things we like to do, our favorite music, we have just talked about everything. And wow I really like Joshua dun. Josh dun. Joshua dun. It sounds prettier every time I say it in my head. And I think he likes me back. He grabs my hand and holds it. And he smiles at me. Then he slowly comes closer to me and kisses me. The kiss is beautiful. Long and soft. I've been dying to feel his lips forever and now I finally am and it's better than I thought it would be. Wow.
"Joshua dun?"
He laughs and looks at me.
"Yes tyler Joseph?"
I honestly don't know why I call him by his full name. It just sounds beautiful.
"I really like you."
He's smiles and kisses my forehead.
"I really like you too."
Ugh. Wow. Joshua dun.
