"what are you doing?" brendon asked, dragging the o a little. i was sitting at the piano playing random keys.
"being bored" i replied.
"why don't you call someone up?" he suggested.
"i don't have friends" i pointed out. my voice cracked a tiny bit - i felt really upset.
"don't be sad. i'll be your friend. we can hang out" he said, sitting next to me.
"and do what?" i asked him.
"we could go see a movie" he suggested.
"okay"
"but first you gotta get dressed" he laughed at my pyjamas.

i got dressed into a black wide jeans and a black dodie party tatoos sweater (brendons mom got it for me). i brushed my hair, put on a lil bit of perfume and ran downstairs.
i slipped my boots on and then followed brendon to the car.
"you got a new playlist?" he asked. i nodded and plugged my phone in. i pressed shuffle and in the middle by dodie played.
"nice!" he'd met dodie before.

What are you doing Friday?
Wanna help my worlds collide? Let's make a bow with old cut ties
Do you want his number?
Or shall I be the one to call? I haven't seen him much at all
It could be weird, but I think I'm into it
You know I'm one for the overly passionate
I like you, and I loved him
We could all be the best kind of friends
You said you're into closure
Shake hands like you're supposed to
I'll be in the middle
While you two get along
You've got so much in common
Talk about your taste in women
I'll be in the middle
While you two get along
Hey!
Does he smile like I do?
Oh, it was shared, despite our flaws, I held his hand like I hold yours
Thanks for understanding
Oh, this could be a lot of fun, so break the awkward, come undone
It could be weird, but I think I'm into it

Hey!

two more songs played (you and party tattoos) then we made it to the theatre. brendon asked what i wanted to watch so i selected To All The Boys I've Loved Before. he sent me to go get some snacks. i waited in line and typed away on my phone.

hi! unfortunately i've lost my voice today so i will be typing. may i have two large pop corns, two tango ice blasts and two bags of m&ms?

i was getting really anxious and shaky. what if i messed up? would they laugh at me? would they get annoyed?

"are you okay?" i looked over to see a boy behind me. i pointed to my throat.
"ah. lost your voice?" i nodded. i felt bad for lying. he seemed pretty nice.
"here, i'll order for you. don't worry" he said kindly.
omg thank you so much i typed.
"no problem" he smiled. he took the money from me and helped me order. while the lady prepared the food he talked.

"im justin. my aunt works here so im pretty much here 24/7" he said.
im dylan. im here w my dad. he's getting us ticks to tatbilb i typed.
"thats an awesome movie" he helped me take the food to a bench so i could wait for brendon and he nattered on. i listened, really interested.

brendon spotted us and laughed.
my dads laughing at us :( i typed.
"he's your dad. thats his job" i smiled when he said that. "you got a mom?"
im adopted i replied.
"well your dad made the right choice"
you're sweet :')
"thanks" he said shyly.

"could i get your number?" he asked. i went a bit awkward when he said that causing him
to laugh. "okay. i'll give you mine and you can text me whenever" i passed him my phone and he typed away. "well...i should go. your movie starts soon. see you soon" he smiled at me and walked off.

brendon walked over and sat down.
"who was that?" he giggled. i whispered the whole thing to him.
"well you made a new friend!" he smiled.
"yeah..."
"you gonna text him?" he asked.
"maybe" we got up and went to sit at our screen.

the movie was amazing and we drove home talking about it. brendon went outside to do work so i went to my room to listen to music. i got my phone out and decided to text justin.

me: hi
justin: dylan?
me: yup ;)
justin: HELLO HOW WAS THE MOVIE?
me; REALLY GOOD
jusin: did we just...click?
