text me, maybe?

tylers lunch squad

"Tyler has a girlfriend!"

Patrick yells obnoxiously as him and Tyler plop down at the lunch table. His three other friends look up from their conversations and Jenna squeals.

"Oh my god!" Her eyes bounce straight to Tyler and she grins at him ecstatically. "Who is it? Why haven't you told me?"

Tyler rolls his eyes. Jenna may in fact be his best female friend (maybe best friend in general?) but she more often than not resembled a small excited puppy.

"I don't have a girlfriend." Tyler says pointedly, aiming a glare at Patrick.

"Mhm." Patrick gives his friend a sly look. "Then why are you always on your phone texting someone? And smiling?"

"I always just thought when he was smiling down at his phone it's because he's watching gay porn." Troye interjects. Melanie giggles, but stops at the icy stare Tyler gives her.

The brunette sighs. "He's not my boyfriend-"

"Ooh! It's a he!" Jenna squeals.

Tyler rolls his eyes. Again. "He's just some random kid from this school. I...kinda found his number in the bathroom." He admits sheepishly.

Melanie tilts her head back and laughs. "And you texted it? Wow, that's definitely the Romeo and Juliet love story of the century."

"Tyler would be Juliet."

"I would not!"

Jish: what's your favorite color?

Tyler looks down from the TV playing reruns at the text alert on his phone. Grateful for the distraction, he quickly replies.

Tyjo: why?

Jish: because I'm a stalker and trying to collect as much information on you as possible before I sneak into your room at night and kidnap you.

Tyjo: oh.

Tyjo: well in that case green

Jish: mines orange :)

Jish: I'm asking because I realized we've been texting for like 3 weeks now and I don't even know your real name or anything about you.

Tyjo: I'm mysterious

Jish: so sexy

Jish: grade?

Tyler contemplates lying, but lying is hard.

Tyjo: sophomore, you?

Jish: hA pip squeak I'm a junior

Tyjo: wow relatable. But anyways I like music too, and basketball.

Jish: oh double threat. Are you on the basketball team here?

Tyjo: won't say. Remember? The whole mystery guy thing.

Jish: damn you and your damn secrets, Tyjo.

Tyjo: I'll give you one. My name is Tyler.

Jish: could've swore the 'ty' in Tyjo stood for Tyra.

Tyjo: I get that a lot, actually.
