It's Monday now. Time for Tyler, and now Josh to face Tim. Tyler was dreading coming to school even though he knew that Josh would have his back. Josh redyed his hair on Sunday. It was still red, but it seemed more vibrate, more flarey, more of a warning sign to all that tried to bully Tyler. Josh's mom had to go in for work early, so Josh asked Tyler for a ride. He said yes. Tyler approached Josh's house and came to a stop almost running over Josh's mail box since it was still dark out even though it was only seven in the morning. It's dark, the thick dark grey clouds filled the ominous sky around them.
"Geez, way to almost run into my mail box Ty. What did it ever do to you?" Josh gave his teasing smirk to Tyler as he hopped into the passenger side seat.
"It gives people bills." Tyler mumbled to Josh. He was still tired. Tyler hates the mornings, especially when people talk to him.
"Touché, Touché. Hey, sorry I had you pick me up. I know you still don't wanna talk to me face to face just in case I ask questions, but I will have you know that I won't ask for you to talk about that night unless you want too." Josh smiled at Tyler with a sincere look on his face.
Tyler glanced at Josh and half heartedly smiled at him before saying, "Thanks." softly.
They went on their way to school, with no more talking. Josh could tell Tyler didn't like talking in the morning so he didn't want to bother him anymore than he already was.
When they both entered the commons doors to the high school, they were greeted by their principal Dr. Inboden. He's a really nice principal, but after seeing him Tim's always somewhere near him. Tim is favored by him since he brings good rep on how their basketball team is.
They past Dr. Inboden, and then of course Tim was right there leaning against the other side of the wall so Josh and Tyler couldn't see him when they turned the corner. Almost as if it was natural for Tim's foot to be sticking out, he ended up tripping Tyler. Josh grabbed Tyler's right arm just in time before he face planted into the cold white floor of the musty school. Tim had a cold hearted smirk on his face, but became a frown when Josh caught Tyler.
"What the hell do you think you're doing Dun?" Tim hissed at Josh as he departed from the wall that he seemed to claim his.
"I'm saving your ass, again. The principal is right there, and there are plenty of witnesses" Josh pointed out. "You might be Dr. Inboden's pet, but if Tyler broke his nose because of your actions he wouldn't be to happy. And you wanna know who would pay for Tyler's broken nose?" Josh whispered harshly at Tim so he could hear it, but not the principal.
"Whatever." Tim rolled his eyes and give a scoff as he walked off to his class.
"Seems like your hair really is a warning sign." Tyler giggled as he slowly got up from his knees and brushed off the chalky cleaner from his pants that is used to clean the floors.
"Yeah." Josh said softly as he stared Tim down until he turned to go into his classroom.
