Self-Titled

Chapter 10

Josh's POV
Well, who knew I wouldn't be single for life? I then look down at my phone as I hold Tyler's soft hands against mine. My mom texted me 4 times

Mom: Josh, Honey are you able to text?

Mom: Are you ignoring me Josh?

Mom: I know you are having fun, but I'm your mother and you need to answer me.

Mom: Honey, please text me. I don't like sounding needy.

Tyler looks over my shoulder and at my phone and says "You need to text her, she's worried about you."

  I frown a bit "I know, it's just, I wanted this to yeah..play the drums, but also to kinda get away from the pressure of my family. If I answer, then she'll tell me everything that's going on and I will feel guilty!"

He leans on me "Josh, if you don't answer, how do you think that makes her feel?-" I start to talk and he interrupts and says "No no, I'M not finished! Your dad is at work, and you have to be her favorite kid. I mean, look at you! You need to text her back, or I will." He reached for my phone but I swing it back, I finally conform to his wishes and text my mom

Josh: Hey Mom! No, I wasn't ignoring you! Bad reception and the SD card didn't have the right circulation for the humidity so the function of the phone was weird!

Mom: Okay..... So how's Camp?

Josh: It's great! I made a really really good friend, Tyler.

I hit Tyler because he took my phone and wrote that text.

Mom: How about any girls? 😏

I blush, and Tyler winks at me.

Josh: Nope, I don't like any of the girls.

I mean it wasn't a lie...

Mom: Okay.... Don't have too much fun! And I would love to meet Tyler sometime!

Josh: Sure, Bye Mom.

Mom: Bye Honey!

I then put my phone away and smile at Tyler "I didn't lie."

    Tyler then laughs "Sure you didn't, so all that crap at the beginning of your text wasn't a lie? "The SD card didn't have enough circulation for the humidity...." I punch him in the shoulder. We both laugh.

Then what do you know, Cassandra walks by, giving us a death look. Tyler then yells "Cassandra!!" She turns around and crosses her arms. He then pulls out a couple of those small salt packets from McDonald's and throws them at her, while saying "Stop being so salty!" She then stomps her foot on the ground and walks over to me and tips my hat off my head "Your boyfriend thinks he's so tough-" I then cut her off and say "I'mma bean." We then turn around and I pick up my hat, putting it back on my head.

I then turn my head, and then I see my sister, Abby. I look over at Tyler and say "Oh shit!" As she sees us holding hands.
