Josh

I woke up in my boxers. I checked the alarm clock by my bed
7:30
I had fifteen minutes to get ready for school. I grabbed some skinny jeans and slipped on a sweatshirt. Who cares if I don't have a shirt on underneath. I ran out the door after grabbing my keys.

I saw Tyler and went up to him, "Hey Ty-"

"Go away fag." His friends started laughing.

"I-I- uh s-sorry." I stuttered and ran off to class. Ding!

Notification: BlurrryFace sent you a message.

BlurrryFace: I'm sorry Josh.

SpookyJim: Don't talk to me.

BlurrryFace: Josh! I'm so sorry! It's just my friends, and Jenna. Call me after school.

I didn't respond. I couldn't. To think I had a chance with him. He was two-faced. I went straight to class. Jess was there.

"Josh, what's wrong?" She questioned.

"Did they tell you about last night?"

"Yeah, Brendon told Killer and she told me. What does that have to do with it."

"He called me a fag when I went up to him. Then, he messaged me saying he was sorry and to call me after school." I tear slipped down my cheek.

"Are you going to?"

"I don't know. Should I?"

"If he apologized maybe you should, there was probably a reason behind it." Jess gave some good advice.

"Thanks Jess."

"Please call me EggPlant. It's what Killer calls me."

"Okay Je-EggPlant." It had a nice ring to it. Just then Brendon walked in with his hand intertwined with Killers. She was laughing at something he said.

"Hey guys?"

"Oh hey Josh." Brendon answered

"What's happening here?"

This time it was Killer, "He asked me out after school yesterday." Jess looked stunned.

"So what you lack in height he makes up for in forehead?" Jess responded. I couldn't hold in the laugh. Brendon punched my arm.

"Stick up for you best friend!"

"I can't stick up for you, because it is true." He rolled his eyes.

"Oh Jess, I know someone who likes you."

"Who!?" She looked genuinely surprised.

"I'm not gonna tell you, you said my forehead was big."

"Wow that's just rude Brendon, leading her on then dropping it." I said. Then the bell rang and the teacher told us to take our seats.

At lunch seats were rearranged so Bren and Egg could sit next to each other. Really all that happened was that Mel and Egg switched seats. Mel and Jess really hit it off. They talked the whole time.

Meanwhile, I was thinking about Tyler. What was he going to say? How would he explain himself? All of the questions would be answered if I called him.

Tyler

He still hasn't called me. What if I ruined my chances with him because I was trying to keep my reputation up. What if he ne-Mad Hatter started to play. He was actually calling me.

Stop talking and answer the phone then.

"Hey Josh."

"Explain your self."

"My friends. If they saw me hanging out with you, they would try to kick me off the team. Basketball is my life Josh. I'm really sorry for what I said. But like I said last night. 'I could never hate you.'" He was silent. Did he accept?

Probably not. You ruined your chances. He hates you. You will never talk to Jo-

"I accept your apology Tyler. I could never hate you either. Do you want to come over to my house?"

"Be there in ten." He accepted. I was in my pajamas so I had to change. I put on black skinny jeans, a black tee and grabbed my pride and joy, my floral kimono. Lastly I grabbed my ukulele and keys, and headed out the door.

So long
