Somehow, I still can't seem to figure out what to wear today. Today I'm meeting up with Tyler, and I'm glad to have someone near here that I can be friends with.

I also have to get a job around here. I left California because it was just too crowded and hot for me. I thought that a small town would be better.

I've decided that I'll wear what I usually wear on a casual day. I don't want Tyler to think that I'm dressing up for him or trying too hard.

I'm wearing a blink-182 t-shirt and black skinny jeans.

Up at Tyler's front door, I knock twice.

"Come in! It's unlocked!"

I step into the familiar hallway, once again noticing his amazing interior design.

"Alright so first we're going to go into the downtown area. I'll show you around a few shops and the park and then we can sit down at one of my favorite places for lunch."

"Sounds great!"
--
I step out of Tyler's car, and I notice that we are at a record store. The outside is a dark grey color, and has lighter grey trim around the edges. There are two big windows next to the door which is placed right in the center of the building. Through the two huge windows I notice shelves of records, and in the corner a bunch of record players.

"Ok so we're at a record store, if you couldn't tell."

He gets out of his side of the car and comes to stand next to me. Together we look at the building, inspecting every bit of it.

Tyler is standing close to me, when I start to walk again, I feel his hand rub up against mine.

"Wow this is a cool place! The record store back in California was far away from my house, and didn't have nearly as many records as this one does!"

"Well lets go inside! I love this place. I've been going here for a long time now."

//TYLER//

I'm walking next to josh into the record store. I move close to him, to the point that if I move, my hand brushes his.

He's cute, and I'm so glad that I get to spend an entire day with Josh.
--
We walk into the record store, and Josh immediately runs to the left of the store. He must've seen something that caught his eye in the two huge windows out front.

"TYLER!! LOOK!!" Josh says, a lot louder than expected. The man at the register looks up at me, as if I should go calm down a child that's screaming.

Josh is holding up Enema of the State by Blink-182. Matches his shirt today.

//JOSH//

When going through all the records, I noticed Enema of the State by blink-182. Possibly one of the best albums.

"TYLER LOOK!" I scream, not realizing how loud I actually was. Whoops.

He looks at me in a way that tells me I should be quiet, and the man at the register gives me the exact same look.
--
I head over to the register, pulling out my wallet and setting down enema of the state onto the counter.

"That will be $18.95"

I pull out a twenty, get my change, and leave the store with Tyler.

The ride to the next stop is long. We sit in a comfortable silence, until Tyler decides to break that with some music.

He plays music from a band that I've heard of, I think they're called panic... at, uh, I can't remember the rest of the name. But it has to do with a frightened emotion and a location. Ok, I've only heard one song.

"This is panic! At the disco. I love this band. Especially because I was great friends with Brendon, the lead singer, in high school. He would always talk about his dreams to become a singer, and now that he pursued it, I'm so proud of him."

So I got the name a little bit off...
--
We pull up to the next stop. A cute little coffee shop.

When Tyler parks the car, neither of us get out. Instead, we just sit in our seat of the car, looking contently into each other's eyes. It is a calm feeling, one that makes me feel safe.

For some reason, every time I look into those brown eyes, everything around us stops, and we're in our own little world.
