THIRTEEN

josh walked into science and sat down next to darren who was sound asleep.

"God I have the urge to punch him" he whispered to mia.

"awe don't. he such a little puppy when he sleeps" mia cooed at her boyfriend.

josh scrunched his face up in disgust. "disgusting. he snores"

hayley walked in with sunglasses on and groaned as she sat down. mia and josh shared a look. "what the hell is wrong with you?" he asked. hayley winced at the noise. "hungover" she simply replied.

mia snorted. "it's friday morning"

"your point?" josh held in his chuckles as the bell rung. all the kids rushed into class including tyler. he thought about what his therapist had said. could tyler be going through something? is there a reason why he acts the way he does?

the two made eye contact and josh gave a nod to the basketball star. he swear he saw a faint blush appear on his cheeks but he shook his head, not believing that was true. tyler sighed and rubbed his eyes, running his fingers through his hair. he was so tired.

"alright class first off someone wake darren and second of all we have a quiz!" he said excitedly. the whole classroom filled with groans as they got out their pencils. josh took his notebook and hit darren upside the head with it and giggled at his reaction.

"dude" he said sitting up and stretching.

"we have a quiz c'mon wake up" josh said to him.

darren scrunched his face. "what the fuck?" mr. brocks eyes widened. "mr. criss language!" darren rolled his eyes as he got out his pencil and waiting for the quizzes to be passed around.

after school josh walked into the detention room and sat down. he pulled out his phone and played on it. he looked at his work schedule for the weekend and saw that he had 12 hour shifts all weekend. he groaned as he locked his phone and sat it down on the desk. josh didn't have anything better to do since he was grounded but that doesn't mean he wanted to be at his job all weekend.

tyler walked in and sat down two seats in front of josh. josh was about to open his mouth and say something but the principal walked in.

"okay your detention starts now"

once detention was over josh gently shook tyler who was sleeping.

"hey wake up" he said softly. tyler's eyes fluttered open and he saw josh leaned over, his curls laid on top of his head and smiled. he yawned and stretched and wiped the slober off of his mouth.

"you still snore" josh joked and tyler flipped him off.

"shut up. what are we supposed to do today? one of these days I will stop falling asleep."

josh dismissed it. "it's fine. you looked tired. we are supposed to clean all of the classroom desks and take the trash out"

tyler rolled his eyes. "I didn't know we became the new janitors" josh laughed and grabbed the clorox wipes and paper towels. they cleaned off the desks of the room they were already in and made their way to the classrooms.

"what are your plans for this weekend?" tyler asked breaking the silence.

josh wiped the table and looked at tyler. "just working. i'm grounded so I can't really do anything"

tyler frowned. "i'm sorry about that"

"it's-it's alright. how good do you think on mr. brocks quiz today?" josh asked. tyler thought for a moment. "hmm decent I guess. what about you?" he said wincing when he chewed his gum that he had just put in, on the side where his jaw was bruised. josh noticed and immediately got concerned, ignoring his question.

"there's something wrong isn't there?" he asked sincerely, walking over and examining the bruise he left from monday.

"no it's okay" tyler said dismissing it.

josh shook his head. "let me see, please?" tyler melted while looking into his brown eyes and nodded. josh told him to open his mouth and he did wincing at the pain.

josh frowned. "It doesn't looked cracked. have you treated it at all? ice? pain killers?" tyler shook his head. "it's fine josh don't worry about it"

"no I did this to you so let me fix it. i'll be back" tyler smiled and nodded. he pulled out his juul and hit it, inhaling the smoke before blowing it back out. he heard footsteps and quickly wiped away the smoke that lingered in the air.

"okay so the nurses office was locked so I had to get ice and put it in a paper towel I hope that is- are you juuling?" josh asked with a smile. tyler laughed and nodded before offering it to him. josh took it and inhaling the smoke before blowing it out.

"mm what flavor is that?" he asked.

"mango. it's my favorite." josh hit it again before giving it back to tyler. he gave the homemade ice pack to him and Ibuprofen he got from his bag.

"here the swelling should go down. you need to apply more ice when you get home and take medicine until it doesn't hurt anymore. i'm sorry for doing this to you" josh said sadly and that made tyler's heart hurt.

"it's fine I promise. thank you. where did you learn how to do all of this?" he asked josh curiously.

"when you are as clumsy as me you tend to pick up on a lot of things. what did your parents say about it?"

tyler looked down. "nothing" he said.

"oh i'm sorry" tyler smiled. "it's fine" it was silent and the two looked at eachother for a bit, neither one of them breaking eye contact, until josh's phone rang.

"it's my sister" he said accepting the facetime call. ashley's face appeared and began talking.

"mom wants to know when you will be done" she said. josh looked over at tyler who shrugged.

"um I don't know yet i'll text her" ashley nodded and was about to hang up when abbie grabbed her phone.

"bubby! jimmy ate my nuggets" tyler saw josh's eyes lit up when he saw his baby sister and he got jealous. he wished his family was close.

josh pouted. "oh no! i'll yell at him when I get home I promise" he said holding up his pinky.

"mkay. where you at?" she asked. josh turned the camera and showed the school.

"i'm at school abbie. do you remember tyler?" he asked before turning the camera towards him. she nodded happily.

"hi tywer!" tyler smiled and waved back. "hello abbie, I like your pigtails" she thanked him and got bored so she gave the phone back to her sister.

"oh yeah before I go, mom said you were getting a car and I get my permit soonish so you need to teach me"

josh scrunched up his face. "no thank you bye" he laughed before hanging up.

"you're getting a car? what kind?" josh shrugged. "I don't know yet we havent looked"

tyler hummed. "you should get a jeep" josh shook his head. "jeeps are douche and too small"

tyler fake pouted. "are you calling me a douche them?" josh laughed and nodded his head.

"obviously. let's finish up. I don't want to be here anymore"

after the boys finished up they left the school and got into tyler's car, tyler convincing josh that his mom didn't need to waste gas to come pick him up, but in reality he wanted to spend more time with him.

he pulled into josh's driveway and josh took his seatbelt off.

"thank you for taking me home"

"and thank you for helping me with my jaw. and thank you for not yelling at me today" tyler joked. josh rolled his eyes and got out the car.

he was only pretending to be nice to the basketball star, right?
