"um, excuse me, tyler joseph?" tyler heard someone from behind him say his name in order to get his attention. he turned around to see a not so familiar face.

"hi, uh, you okay?" tyler asked the person.

"yeah it's just that, well, i'm new here and i have no idea what the answer to any of these are. i've never learnt it"

tyler stood up and sat next to the stranger who must've been new, as he just said.

"honestly, i don't know half the answers either, but i'm sure we'll figure it out together" tyler shot a smile at the new guy. "first off, what's your name?"

the new boy looked down avoiding eye contact with the brunette.

"um, my names mikey" the stranger, who's name was mikey, smiled at the floor and chuckled.

"that's a nice name, i'm pretty sure you know, but i'm tyler. tyler joseph" the taller boy smiled at mikey who was biting his lip and rubbing his eye.

"mikey way" mikey put his hand out inviting tyler to shake it. tyler accepted the invitation.

"so, uh, what do you have next? as in, what class?"

"music, and you?"

"same" mikeys face lit up at the words.

"so, mikey, do you have kik?" tyler asked.

"yeah, it's mikey.way1997"

"okay, i'll add you later"

the siren pierced the ears of the drowsy teens in the halls. mikes ad tyler walked to music, meeting up with josh.

"hey tyler, who's the new kid?" josh looked at the new kid and smiled, his eyes squinting.

"this is mikey, he's my new friend" tyler introduced mikey to josh.

as they walked into class, they're teacher assigned them a project.

"in groups of up to four, you have to write AND perform a piece infront of the class. rules are, you need atleast three different instruments and the song needs to be atleast 3 minutes long"

"too many rules" josh exclaimed, putting his head on the desk in confusion.

"mikey, what instrument do you play?" tyler asked the blonde haired boy who was staring into space.

"oh, um, i play bass guitar"

"that's perfect! i can write music, i think" tyler trailed off a bit.

"tyler, baby, you're the best song writer ever. i've heard one of your songs"

"how?"

"well, you were singing a song that i've never heard before when i was sitting outside of your house wondering if i should come in or not. i heard you singing and just assumed you wrote it. it was the prettiest thing ever"

tyler blushed at the statement and gave josh a hug.

"you're the prettiest thing ever" tyler cuddled in closer to josh.

"so mikey, would you like the be in our group?"

"Yes please" mikey flicked his hair out of his face and bit his lip again. must be a nervous tick.

after music, the end of school siren went. tyler decided to go home and write the song as best as he could, and then they could all meet at josh's house because josh plays the drums. and i'm sure it would be hard to carry a drum kit anywhere. bass and keyboard, not as much.

tyler's brain was dead. he had absolutely no idea what to write.

he was so not motivated for this.
