Tyler looked over at Josh. He was so cute when he was asleep. His closed eyes. His eyelashes resting on his cheeks. His slight pink cheeks. And his cute nose. His mouth was slightly open and his teeth was showing, his white shining teeth protected by soft, pink lips. Tyler got out of bed and walked to his desk. He sat down and found a pencil.

Josh woke up and looked over at Tyler, who was at the desk. Wrighting something. Tyler was playing music. A dark voice with calmb music in the background saying.
"Maybe I just wanna be yours, I wanna be yours."

"Morning sleepy." He said and looked over at Josh. "Good morning." Josh answered, his voice was hoarse. Josh was sitting in the bed. "Good morning Josh." Tyler said and smiled. "Uhm, I just sa-" Josh looked at Josh and petted him. "Dude, you need to name your cat something else, you're starting to comfuce me."
"Okay, what is his name going to be then?" Tyler said and laughed. "Mr.Fluffle, or fluff for short!" Josh said exited. "Okay, Mr.Fluffle it is!" Tyler said and laughed. "Are you hungry?" Tyler said and stood up. "A little." Josh said and rubbed his eyes. "Taco bell?" Tyler smiled to Josh. "Yeah." Josh laughed at Tyler. Josh had never had Taco Bell for breakfast before.

They walked to Taco Bell. It was only a ten minute walk, but ten minutes is enough for Tyler to freeze. September is a could month. Or at least for Tyler.

Tyler sat down and Josh ordred. "What do you want?" Josh asked Tyler. "The chilli cheese burrito." He said. "Okay." Josh said and stepped into the line of five people. There was a man in front of him in line with black leather jacket and black and white tapers in his ears. Josh thought he was cool. He had a sleeve tattoo. But josh couldn't quite see what it was.josh wated to be like him one day.

Josh came back with the burrito to Tyler and a cheesy gordita crunch to himself. "Dude! That lookes so good!" Tyler said and looked at him with annoyed eyes. Josh took a big bite of it. And rolled his eyes to make the expression of the taco to be super good. "Oh, it is!" He said to annoy Tyler even more.

A song Josh recognized came on the speakers.
Tyler sang along and when he took a bite he danced. " Maybe I just wanna be yours, I wanna be yours, I wanna be yours, wanna be yours, wanna be yours!" Tyler sang and Josh looked at him. "Tyler." He said and laughed at his dance moves. "Serets I have held in my heart, are harder to hide than I thought. Maybe I just wanna be yours." Tyler sang and took another bite. Josh just laughed at him.

Josh's eyes widend as another song came on.
"Do I look lonely? I see the shadows on my face people have told me I don't look the same
Maby I lost weight. I'm playing hooky, with the best of the best. Put my heart on my chest, so that you can see it too." Josh sang and headbanged to the song. "Josh!" Tyler yelled.
"That was so good!" Tyler yelled louder. "Tyler, shhhh!" Josh laughed and tried to calmb down his friend.

On the walk home they decided to go to the forest. They wanted to relax before going back, they had school eight o'clock and it was seven now. So they had enough time.

They climbed up in the treehouse and sat down. Josh sat crossed legged and fiddled with a pocketknife. He opened it, and closed it. Then he opened another part and closed it. Then he opened both parts and span it on his thumb and then he closed them. Tyler laid down. "Whats up?" Josh said quietly. "Listen." Tyler said. Josh didn't quite understand what to listen to. But he laid down besides Tyler. Then he heard. Birds chirping, the trees squeek as the wind blew. The sound the leafs on the trees made when the wind blew through them. They both closed their eyes. It was so calmb. There was nothing that could ruin this moment.

Or so they thought. Tyler sat up in a panic and looked at his phone. It was 07.56 "Shit!" Tyler said and hurried down the ladder. "What?" Josh said as he didn't understand what was going on. He just followed Tyler "It's allmost eight." Tyler said and started to walk fast.

They saw champus and they started to run. They did not want to be the dudes that came late the first day of school. They hurried to their dorms and checked where their classes were going to be. Tyler was room 107. "Where are you going?" Josh asked Tyler as soon as he had closed the door. "107, you?" Tyler said while walking twords the classroom.
"203." Josh said in a disappointed tune.
"Oh." Tyler said and looked down. His anxiety started to build up.

Where are you going to sit?

No one wants to sit with a loser like you!

Are you just going to sit alone?

I mean, it's not like anyone wants to sit with you!

"Tyler?" Josh said in a worried tone. "Tyler?" Tyler heard what he said, he just couldn't speak. Tyler started to panic. He couldn't speak. It sounded like he was in a bubble. He couldn't breathe. His lungs started to burn. He can't breathe. His mouth were wide open but he couldn't breathe. Everyone was looking at him. Like he was a dumb loser who no one wants to talk to. Tyler just wanted to get out. Everybody already hated him. He was starting to get pins and needles in his fingers. He knew what was next. And he knew he was having a panic attack but he couldn't do anything about it. The walls were starting to shrink, the people started to surround him, the noises started to get louder. And his vision started to blur and he faded into sleep.
