Tyler woke up to the sun splitting his eyelids open. He was so, so tired. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, looking down on his floor where music sheets lay, scattered, reminding him how late he had stayed up writing. In the corner, his keyboard was on. He flicked the switch off.
Tyler pulled on a fresh shirt from his closet and wiped the sleep out of his eyes.
"Tyler! Breakfast!" Screamed his mom from downstairs.
He ran down and grabbed an Eggo, swung his backpack onto his shoulder, and dashed out the door.
"Bye mom!" He yelled, shutting the front door. He walked across his yard and saw Amee waiting in her convertible, reading a magazine.
She smiled when she saw him.
He lept into the seat and buckled the belt.
"Forward!" He yelled, kissing Amee on the cheek. She rolled her eyes and floored the pedal into the car.

They screeched to a stop in front of school, and they hopped out simultaneously. Amee snatched his hand and gave him death grip, giving any girls that stared a dirty look.
Tyler didn't care that much, he was just focusing on eating his Eggo, a happy smile on his face as he walked through the halls.

In science, Tyler sketched a drawing of a beautiful flower into his paper. He could feel the eyes of Josh on him, as he so often did.
Tyler stayed focused on his papers.
"I will now announce your science partners." Droned the teacher. "You will each work on a passion project together. This requires you find a common interest between the both of you and construct a presentation on it. What a surprise, your partner will be the person sitting across from you." The teacher shuffled back over to his desk slowly and opened up a magazine.
Tyler looked at Josh.
"I guess we're partners then." He said.
Although Josh was staring intently at Tyler, Tyler could tell that Josh was not paying attention.
"Josh?" Tyler asked.
"Hmm.. Oh? What? Oh! Hi Tyler."
"We're partners." Tyler laughed nervously and ran his hand through his hair.
A smile split Josh's face. His eyes crinkled.
"Great! When do we start working on it?"
"How about after school? I have basketball every other day of the week."
"That works. Wanna come to my house?"
Tyler nodded.

All through lunch, Tyler couldn't stop thinking about Josh and his dark black hair. His strong arms and his cute smile. He was going over to Josh's after school! Every time Tyler thought about Josh, his heart did a little dance.
Whenever Josh popped up in his brain, a warm feeling flooded Tyler's chest. Tyler couldn't wait to hang out with him. But he couldn't figure out why. He was confused. He liked Amee. Amee was his hot girlfriend. Tyler was on the basketball team. Why did he want to spend time with Josh? Guys like Tyler didn't usually hang out with guys like Josh.
Oh well. Tyler thought, shrugging the thought off. I'm probably just excited because we're going to be really good friends.

And right after school, Tyler rushed to the parking lot to find Josh.
