During the Night

School

¨Worthington Christian High School" it read on its front entrance. The name of the school almost making Tyler gag at the thought of going. He used to play for their basketball team, but was cut out after Tyler was considered unstable for playing. All of the guys make fun of him now for it. They don't know the real reason to why he was considered unstable, but knowing he was kicked off the team for that kind of reason was enough for them. Tyler was their star player, so it was hard for coach to let him go. The players didn't seem to care much for the fact that Tyler was leaving, because they then knew they could have the chance of stealing the spot light.

"Hey Tyler! How was your night sleep? Did you get your mommy to help you fall asleep again?" Tim teased Tyler with a snarl to his voice. Tim was the new star of the basketball team, so he thought he was the toughest of them all.

"Shut up. At least I have a mom who cares about me." Tyler shot back putting a shocked look on Tim's face.

"You wanna repeat that again you fucker?" Tim questioned in a daring manner.

"Nah, I think I'll pass. Rather not get into a fight with an asshole like you." Tyler responded back almost sounding like it was a casual thing for him to say.

Tim slowly approached Tyler followed by Tim shoving him a little bit so he would move a few steps back. "What? You to scared to fight? Is it because of how unstable you are?" Tim continued taunting Tyler with his words as he kept shoving Tyler back until he reached the wall.

Tim is the same exact height as Tyler, but naturally had a taller form from basketball, while Tyler had formed a little hunch since he was cut out of basketball. Tim was about to throw a punch at Tyler until he heard a deep growling voice behind him to stop the fight that was about to happen. It was Josh Dun. He is on the basketball team too, he's the smallest of the players, but when you make him mad all hell breaks loose. He was Tim's best friend until he started to bully Tyler. Josh has anger issues, most likely very severe ones, he doesn't like to talk about them though. His red flaring hair sure did remind everyone that he had them though.   He has said that playing basketball helps keep him in check, but today Josh's wrath was finally put onto Tim.

"What the hell do you think you're doing Tim?" Josh said with the most fierce sounding voice he could make at him. "Might I remind you that if couch hears about this you can be kicked off the team?" He said almost in a administrative like tone, "I would think that that since you are the star player that you would acknowledge that more than you are right now." Josh glared at Tim with a furrowed brow.

"You little-" Tim started to say before he was cut off by Josh for the second time.

 "No, no, no Tim. You will take your ass to class right now, before I get the administrator or even better, coach." Josh gave Tim a grin hoping him would try something, so Josh could get an administrator or coach. Tim was about to say something, but Josh started to talk again before he could say anything. "Get to class, now Tim." 

Tim hesitantly walked to his class, and acted as if he wasn't just told off by Josh Dun; the shortest of the basketball players with the wildest hair.

"A thank you would suffice." Josh furrowed his brow at Tyler waiting for a response.

"T-thank you Josh." Tyler quickly said before heading into his classroom and not looking back to see if Josh was watching him.

"Tyler! Wait up!" Josh yelled across the student parking lot to Tyler as he saw him walking shyly to his car but in a fast motion.

Tyler scrambled for his keys that were in his backpack. He ended up putting them in the wrong pocket, which prevented him from being able to escape Josh.

When Josh had finally made it over, he paused. He noticed how scared and and nervous Tyler was at the sight of him. "Sup Tyler. Look, I know that you might be scared of me, considering what happened today wi-" Tyler cut Josh off a little to quickly.

"L-listen I have to go, I don't have time to chat. Sorry Josh, maybe next time."

"Oh okay. Well um, I was also hoping I could catch a ride." Josh said hopefully.

"You're 17, shouldn't you have a car or something?" Tyler questioned in annoyance.

"Yeah, but it's in the shop right now, and I've asked everybody I feel comfortable riding with if they could take me home. They all said no. I haven't asked you yet, so I was kind of hoping you could take me home." Josh responded back noticing Tyler's annoyance of the older boy.

"Fine, I guess I can take you home." Tyler said having a little bit of a groan since he knew Josh would talk to him in the car ride there.

"Really? Oh my gosh, thank you so much!" Josh replied happily almost sounding like a little girl who just got her dolly she asked for, for Christmas. Josh hopped into the passenger side, and Tyler plopped into the drivers side. The engine started and so it began; talking.
