"hey guess what!" josh jumped onto the couch next to me. it was the next day and I was reading a book called milk and honey. "what?" I put my book down. "well I'm giving you an option. you can either go to a public school or I can get a tutor to teach you at home" "if  I do home school I won't have any friends so I'll go with public" I say. "okay! you can start on Monday" "thanks" I picked my book up and continued to read. "when I first saw you I didn't think you would be so quiet" he says to me. "once you get to know me I'm the loudest person you'll ever meet"

I'd finished reading my book half an hour later and went to go put it away. after I did that josh called me. I ran downstairs and gasped. holy shit. it was brendon fucking urie. "hi I'm Brendon! you must be mariah" he extended his hand. "eh we're friends!" he hugged me. shit then.

"your so tall" I say. "how tall are you, short ass?" he asks me. "4"11..." I hung my head shamefully. "awww!" him and josh awed. "it's not cute" I folded my arms. "aw your cute!" brendon ruffled my hair. "stop!" I squeal. "we're best friends now" he says. "are we...?" I couldn't tell if he was joking or not.

"let's hang out" he pulled me and josh to the couch. "karaoke?" he suggests. "what song?" josh asks. "rose coloured boy by paramore" I say quietly. "yeah!"

"Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather
Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather

Rose-colored boy
I hear you making all that noise
About the world you want to see
And oh, I'm so annoyed
'Cause I just killed off what was left of the optimist in me

I had to break it, the wars are raging on
And I have taken my glasses off
You got me nervous
I'm right at the end of my rope
A half empty girl
Don't make me laugh, I'll choke

Just let me cry a little bit longer
I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to
Hey man, we all can't be like you
I wish we were all rose-colored too
My rose-colored boy

Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather

I want you to stop insisting that I'm not a lost cause
'Cause I've been through a lot
Really all I've got is just to stay pissed off
If it's all right by you

I had to break it, the wars are raging on
And I have taken my glasses off
You got me nervous
And you're turning it into a joke
A half empty girl
Don't make me laugh, I'll

Just let me cry a little bit longer
I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to
Hey, man, we all can't be like you
I wish we were all rose-colored too
My rose-colored boy

Leave me here a little bit longer
I think I wanna stay in the car
I don't want anybody seeing me cry now
You say "We gotta look on the bright side"
I say "Well maybe if you wanna go blind"
You say my eyes are getting too dark now
But boy, you ain't ever seen my mind

Just let me cry a little bit longer
I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to
Hey, man, we all can't be like you
I wish we were all rose-colored too
My rose-colored boy
Just let me cry a little bit longer
I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to
I know we all can't be like you
I wish we were all rose-colored too
My rose-colored boy

Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather
Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather"

"you can sing!" Brendon smiled at me. "I can't" I giggle. "yeah you can. don't say you can't" josh put an arm round me. "I can't" I say again. "oh you think your tough?" brendon joked. "bring it bitch" I got up. "language!" josh scolded me. "fight me!" I pretended to punch Brendon. "OW! she poked me" he pretended to cry and fell to the floor dramatically. "a 30 year old got his ass beaten by a 13 year old" josh clapped.

I laughed and flopped on the couch. "what if a 29 year old did to?"
