I got dressed and found some shoes. I tied my shoes and sat on the couch and waited.

While I waited I got a bottle of water and played a game on my phone. Then the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." I said yelling throughout the house thinking that nobody heard me because it was 8:30 on a Saturday morning and my family was probably sleeping. "Morning." he said. "Good morning." I said smiling. "I've been looking forward to this all week or for as long as we planed it. Still though." He said chuckling. "Yeah me too. This will be the first thing I do outside of school so I want to remember it." I went to my room and grabbed my camera and walked back down stairs. Then we were walking down the street.

We were walking for about 20 minutes until we stopped at a park. "Josh this is a park?" I said confused. "Tyler. I know it a park." He said. "Is this the park you were talking about the the other day. The one with tree you sit under to relax and escape the world?" I asked. "Yep. This is the one. And right here..."he said walking. "Is the famous tree I was talking about. I've come here to relax so many times that I've lost count." He said. "I can see why. It looks so relaxing when you're here by yourself." I said. "It really is. Especially when you have a good book or music and a blanket." Josh said smiling. "But what do you do when there are other people here?" I asked. "Well normally i bring a book and my phone and headphones just in case and if there are other people here I listen to my book on audiobook or something like that. Just so I can be alone and if I'm lucky the other people do leave me alone but sometimes a kid or something like that with come up to me but most of the time the go away after a while to go to their families or to go home." He said. "Makes since." I said. "Tyler, if you want...you could use it to if you want. I wouldn't mind." He said. "Thanks josh. Maybe I will sometime. " I said.

"Okay. Do you want to stay here for a little bit or go somewhere else?" He asked. "I want to stay here for a little while." Me and Josh stayed at the park for probably about 3 hours just talking. I've never had a really good and long conversation with anybody, and it feels like me and Josh are starting to get close. But after a while I got hungry because I missed breakfast.

"Hey Josh?" I asked. "Yeah Tyler?" He said. "I'm hungry." I said. "What do you want to eat?" He asked. "I'm kinda in the mood for taco bell right now." I said. "I love taco bell" he said happily. "Me too." I said. "Let's go before lunch starts" he said. "Okay Josh" I said. After we had been walking for a while we started to get tired so I decided to call my brother so ask him o give us a ride.

"Hey Zack? Can you come pick me and my friend up from 5th street  and broadway avenue and take us to taco bell please? ...great. Thanks." Then I hung up my phone. "What did he say?" Josh asked me. "He said that he'll be here soon, he just has to get dressed" I said. "Okay. Should we just wait here?" He asked. "Um yeah. I guess" I said.

After several minutes of silence, Josh said something. "Hey Tyler?" Josh asked me. "Um yeah Josh?" I said back. "What's your favorite color?" He asked curiously. "Why?" I asked. "Well because i know somewhat a lot about you and you don't know much me about ..."I said. "Fair enough....what was the question again?" I says. "What's your favorite color?" He ask. "It's red. What about yours?" I asked him. "Mine is blue?" He answered. "Umm...what...your middle name?" I ask curiously. "It's William...." he said. "That sounds sophisticate" I said laughing a little. "I guess Tyler." He says laughing as well "what's yours?" he asks. "My middle name is Robert..." I said. "NICE" he said loudly. Just as I answered the question that was returned to me, I saw Zack's car pull up in front of us.
The whole ride to Taco Bell was quiet. As soon as we got there me and josh hopped out of the car, I Thanked Zack for the ride and we both walked in.
