The High School Experience

☁️music☁️

Around 12:00 my dad called me saying that he was coming home for lunch and then going back go work.

"Josh, my dad is coming home for lunch. Do you want to come with me to get my piano?" I asked hesitantly. "Yes. I don't want you to 'forget' about the conversation we had earlier." He said with a big cheesy smile. "Awe such a good person you are." I said sarcastically. He just smiled and rolled his eyes.

The walk to my house was short(for obvious reasons). When we got there we had to wait outside because my dad wasn't there yet.

He finally got home about 10 minutes later. Once we got inside me and josh we up to my room. "Why are we in your room, Tyler?" Josh asked. "My piano is in here...why else? I asked. "I'm not sure." He said. I walked over to my closet, pushes a few things then handed something to Josh. "Umm...what's this Ty?" He asked. "It's the stand for my piano. Or keyboard. Whatever. Same thing." I said pulling the piano out of my closet.

"Alright. Shall we take it back to your house?" I asked Josh. "Yeah sure. Just don't forget your keys this time." He said. "Oh yeah. Thanks for reminding me. If you wouldn't have I would have totally forgotten." I said. "Yeah. I know Ty." He said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I said laughing. "Tyler, you forgot your keys before you came over after school yesterday. That's what I mean." He said smiling. "Oh. Yeah. Well let me go get those then we can head back." I said.
As I went to grab my keys my dad and we headed for the foo my dad stopped me. "Tyler. Are you staying over again or are you coming home. Because I'm not sure if the pipe at the school will be fixed." My dad said. "Um I'm probably gonna come home. But I'm not sure yet." I said. "Okay we'll have fun." He said. "That's dad. Bye. See ya later" I said while closing the door behind me.

"So what are you gonna play, Tyler?" Josh asked me. "I have a couple in mind." I said walking back to his house. "Oh yeah? Like what?" He said. "You'll see." I said smiling.

The walk back to his house was pretty much silence. I mean the walk is like two minutes. Can't really say much in two minutes.

When we got back to His house he told me I could set up my piano in his basement because that's where his drums were.

"Do you want to go first or should I?" I asked. "Um I'll go first if you want." He said. "Um yeah. Okay." I said while sitting in the biggest bean bag I've ever seen.

Once Josh was done drumming, I was in utter shock. I was amazed with what just happened. "That was absolutely amazing. I've never seen anyone our age do something like that." I said still in shock. "Thanks. It's really that good?" He asked. "It's really that good." I said

"Alright I think it's time for me to head home." I said faking a yawn. I tried heading up the stairs before Josh pulled be back down. "Tyler. It's literally like 1:43." He said. "Is that not late for you?" I said. "Nope not really." He said. "Oh yeah it must be because on from Florida and I'm not used to the time change." I said hall smiling. "Tyler you've lived here for five months. How is it possible that your not used to the hour time difference?" He asked trying not to laugh. "So should I just play now?" I asked "good idea." He said laughing. "Okay this would sound better if I had some kind of string instrument. Like a guitar or ukulele or if I knew how to play either of them. But this is all I've go so here we go.

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand,
Take my whole life, too
Cuase I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand,
Take my whole life, too
Cause I can't help falling in love with you
Cause I can't help falling in love with you
But I can't help falling in love with you.

When I was finished playing Josh started clapping. "Oh my gosh, Tyler. That was absolutely amazingly perfect." He said with a 'wow' expression on his face. "Geez. I didn't even think I was good. Let alone 'absolutely amazingly perfect." I said smiling. "It was Ty. You're really talented." He said. "Thanks. But you are too." I said. "Oh. Thank you Tyler." He said running a hand through his hair.

"Do you want to play Mario Kart? Or watch a movie on Netflix? He asked. "His about we play Mario Kart then watch something on Netflix." I said. "See. I know we hung out all the time for a reason." He said laughing

We played Mario Kart for about three hours then we got hungry so we decided to order a pizza. We got a large incase we were to get hungry later on. An hour later of eating pizza and playing Mario Kart some more  we finally decided to turn on Netflix.

We chose to watch How I Met Your Mother instead of watching a movie. About four episodes in I was starting to get tired.

"Hey Josh?" I said with sleep in my voice. "Yeah Ty?" He asked. "I think I'm gonna head home. Is it okay if I leave my piano here?" I asked. "Yeah sure. I'll walk you out." He said

Josh walk with me outside and made sure I got home safely. But I still texted him to tell him I got there okay. As soon as my head touched my pillow I was out for the night.
