Joshua Bliss

Chapter 3: He's At My House

"Kat!" I heard my name being yelled by my brother from downstairs.

"What?" I called back, not making any attempt to move from my bed. It was pretty comfortable in my bed right now, just like my bed always is, and I really didn't want to have to get up from it. I was watching reruns of Friends on my laptop, because I was super bored and Friends is pretty awesome. I spend a lot of my time watching a lot of shows.

"Come downstairs, we have company over!"

I groaned, and paused the episode it was on. I was watching the one when Phoebe wanted to sing at the coffee shop where Rachel worked, but she couldn't get to because she wasn't really good and there was already someone to sing. She sang Smelly Cat in it, and I really like the song - even though it made no sense. I opened my door, making my way to the stairs and then downstairs. There I saw a girl, who I assumed to be Taylor, and Josh - as in Josh Bliss from my school. "Who are these people and why are they here?" I asked, already wanting to go back upstairs in my room. I didn't want to show that I was irritated or anything, because I didn't want Kendrick to feel bad, but I was just a little bit irritated by the fact that Josh was at my house. There was something different about him though, he didn't look the way he did in school. He had a pair of nerdy glasses on, and his hair all messy and in front of his face. And surprisingly, he didn't have that grin on his face that he always had. But then when he looked and saw me, it came back. I mentally groaned at just the sight of seeing him here, and seeing that smile.

"This is Taylor and Joshua," He told me, pointing to them. Taylor was really pretty; she had long blonde hair, with bright green eyes - almost like Josh's.

"Oh, hi," I said glumly. "Nice to meet you, now I shall be going back to my room."

"Can Joshua go with you? I don't think he wants to be here, but I don't trust him to be home alone in my house." Taylor said to me, with a teasing smile on her face - the same smile Kendrick had.

"Whatever," I grumbled with an eye roll. They couldn't see me though, because I was turned away. But I think Kendrick knows that I would, because I was mad now - and he found it hilarious. "Come on Josh,"

"Right behind you Kathy," He responded, walking up to me with the smile on his face. He cheered up quite fast from just seeing me.

I rolled my eyes and then turned around and made my way upstairs. I figured he was following me, so I didn't look back to make sure or anything. It's not I cared anyway, because I didn't want him to be with me at all right now. It would've been so much better if I just got to watch Friends in peace without disturbance. Kendrick could've had Taylor over, and the two of them could hang out or whatever, but they didn't have to bring me into it. It would've been nice if it was anyone but Josh though, I think. But I guess I kind of deserve it for always bothering Kendrick when he's on the phone with a girl. It's not like I'm going to stop, if that's what he expected, because I'm just going to do it more now. That is if him and Taylor don't work out, which I think will happen, because they seem good together.

"Why do I have the feeling they know each other?" Kendrick wondered, but he was most likely talking to Taylor. I didn't hear her reply though, because I was already in my room. I closed the door behind Josh, and then plopped down on my bed. I pressed play on my laptop and continued to watch the episode of Friends, ignoring Josh's existence in my room right now.

"Well I get I'm invisible here," Josh announced, sitting down on the bed where I was now lying down on, on my side with my laptop in front of me.

"Apparently," I shrugged, not looking at him. I was too focused in my show anyway, and even though I've watched the episode already, my eyes will still be glued to it when I watch it.
