The next day I decided to find where he lived. I started walking down the road, trying every house, because that was the only way for me to do it. After about 20 houses, I was going to give up and just wait for him to come over again, but I wouldn’t know how long that would be.

I tried one more house. 

I rang the doorbell, took a deep breath and stepped back a bit. Then, a lady opened the door. She knew it probably wasn’t his house, so she sighed. 

“ Hi there can I help you?” she said.

“ Um does a boy with brown eyes and brown hair about my age live here?” I said, hoping it was the right house. 

“ Uh ya? Oh! You must be the new neighbor that Tyler was telling me about!” 

“ Tyler is his name?”

“ Yes. Why don’t you come in for a bit? I think Tyler is in his recording studio downstairs.” 

“ Recording studio?” 

“ Ya he writes his own music.” 

“ Oh cool!” 

I then step inside and Tyler’s mom shows me the way to the recording studio. 

“ I’ll be in the kitchen if you need anything Alex.” she says

“ Ok thank you.”  

 Tyler’s mom is so nice! And I am glad that I know his name now. I then start heading down a long flight of stairs that lead into a huge room. Woah. This is so cool! People don’t really know this about me but I love to sing, but I am too afraid to tell anyone about it, let alone sing to anyone. I look around to find him, but then I hear a guitar playing in a room. I follow the music and then I see him playing guitar. He looks like he is recording, so I softly tap him on the shoulder. 

“ Mom! I said I was coming-” he then turns stops recording and spins around in his chair. 

 “ Oh sorry” I say. 

“ Oh it’s you! No it’s ok I just thought you were my Mom. 

 “ Oh haha” 

 “ So ya this is what I do...” 

 “ This is a really cool place!” 

 “ Do you sing?” 

 “ Ya... no... I don’t know...I just never have sung to anyone before...” 

 “ Would you sing a bit to me?” *he smiles* 

 I then start to get butterflies in my stomach from his smile, just like the dream. 

 “ Um maybe later, when I get to know you better...” I say

 “ Ok I understand” he says, as he gets up out of his chair and sets the guitar on a stand in the wall. 

 He then turns back to face me. 

 “ So...” he says.

" Ya...” I say, knowing this just got really akward. 

“ Do you wanna hear a song that I am working on?” he says, stopping the akward moment. 

“ Sure.” I say.

He then clicks play and a melody fills my ears. Then, singing starts to go with the melody. It sounds a lot like his voice, so I am guessing he sings too. But oh wow he sings so good! The song then ends, and he stops it, and looks at me. 

“ What did you think?” he says.

“ I loved it!” I say, smiling. 

“ So ya pretty much what I do is record songs, originals and covers and post them on YouTube! You should watch some of my stuff when you get home.” 

 “ Oh speaking of home, I think I need to go! My mom just said she is going to pick me up, we are going out to dinner.” I say, looking at the clock on his computer. 

I start to head up the stairs, while he follows behind and we make our way to the door. 

Tyler’s mom then walks over and says goodbye to me, and Tyler and I walk out to the porch and he closes the front door. 

At the moment I felt nervous for some reason. I was thinking of all these things that could happen, but then I realized that we pretty much just met. So I take a deep breath as we both sit down on his porch swing.

“ I was thinking that we should hang out, and get to know each other better, and then I can hear that voice of yours.” *he winks* 

 “ Ya for sure.” I say, smiling. 

 “ Oh! Could I have your number?” 

“ Sure!” 

 We then exchange numbers, and when we finish, my parent’s car pulls up. 

“ Oh well I gotta go now, cya.” 

We then both get up, and for some reason we face each other, and stare into each other’s eyes. His chocolate brown eyes gaze into me and my heart starts to race. 

Then we brake the gaze by a sound of a car horn. And the voice of my mom calling my name.

“ Alex we gotta go!” 

We then shake out of it. 

“ Ok well I’ll call you later!” I say, heading to the car.

“ Ok!” he says, smiling. 

I get into the car, and we drive away, and he waves to me, and I smile.  

I then start to think that this dream is really meaning something to me.
