he'd been here for a while now, just looking through the vinyls. every now and then he'd ask for a recommendation from brendon, but that was really it.

i don't know who he was, and i've never seen him anywhere before, but he seemed... nice.

i saw him looking at mostly the old classic punk rock albums, if that's what you want to call them. he was holding a metallica and a sum 41 album, two bands that i've never really taken an interest in, but i guess it's an acquired taste.

i took my phone out and went on twitter, just scrolling through peoples tweets to pass the time.

i don't know why i have twitter to be honest, i don't have any followers, and when i'm on it i'm just wasting my time looking at what other people are doing with their lives.

i stopped scrolling when a family photo caught my eye. everyone was smiling and happy looking.

my family was never like that.

i got pushed out of my thoughts when i heard someone clear their throat.

"oh, sorry, i'm in my own world right now. are you all set to che-" i stopped, quickly putting my phone in my pocket when i looked up at the person standing in front of me. it was the guy brendon was talking to earlier.

of course it was you dumbass, there's no one else in the store.

i shook the thoughts out of my head and realized i was staring at him.

"uh, i'm sorry, again." i blinked a couple times, looking down, my face starting to heat up and i could tell it was already red.

"it's okay, and yeah, i'm all set." the guy with vibrant pink hair said while putting the records down on the counter. i picked them up and started to scan them while looking at which ones he ended up choosing.

the albums said metallica and blink-182. i guess that was a no on the sum 41 album.

"blink-182 huh? good band." i said while putting them into bags, trying to redeem myself from the horrible first impression i had just seconds earlier.

"yeah, probably my all time favorite. do you listen to them?"

"if i didn't i'd be out of my mind." i said looking down, smiling. "my favorite by them is probably adam's song. either that or all the small things." i wasn't sure if this conversation was leading anywhere, but that was okay with me.

"you have a very good ear for music..." he paused, waiting for my name.

"oh, yeah, i'm tyler, sorry." i told him, realizing i hadn't said anything earlier.

"tyler, that's a nice name." he said, then i felt a blush rising to my face. he quickly changed the subject.

"anyways," he continued. "i love those songs. the only one i think could top those is after midnight. i've been listening to that track since they first released it, and at least once a day, everyday." he laughed.

"it is a pretty good song, but... i'd have to debate on whether it's the best or not." i said smirking slightly, while grabbing the receipt and putting it into the bag.

"alright, whatever you say." he said smiling.

this was the first person, besides brendon, that i've had an actual conversation with in a long time.

and it was nice.

i handed him his bag and we gave each other one last smile before he walked towards the door.

"oh wait!" i yelled before he walked out the door. he turned around.

"what's your name?" it hit me that i hadn't asked for his name earlier.

"josh." he said.

then he walked out the door, leaving me with the thought that i might never see him again.
