josh and the mowing machine // joshler

first day differences

before i knew it, the first day of school had came. everyone was rushing around through the hallways, pushing along and tripping over eachother, sweaty palms and body heat radiated through the hallways. as uncomfortable as i was, I found a glimmer of light in Jenna and ashley standing near the cafeteria.

"hey ashley! hi sista from another mista!"

"hi my little bro. how was your morning?" Jenna asked in her natural calming tone.

"stressy." i frowned. "what if it's really hard this year?"

"aye, you're a little nerd right?" ashley pushed my shoulder. "you'll be fine! and I think we're in science together...lab partners?"

"a' course!" I jumped. "Jenna I'll be seeing you in....history, math and.....English......and that's it."

"hey, we've got three!" we high fived all smiles. "let's get to home room."

all three of us have different homeroom teachers but that's okay, we will be seeing eachother in other classes and at lunch. I walked into mr smiths classroom, and took a nice look at him. he was not too tall, with a black quiff sort of thing and scruff, with a serious face on and a suit.

"good morning, mr joseph." he said to me, taking me by suprise.

"you know my name?" i sat down and the class got quiet. his voice was deep and enthusiastic.

"well of course i know your name, tyler. I know all of your names!" he read the list of names and my eyes widened when i heard one. "....mr. urie...mr. dun.....mrs. williams....."

mr dun.

as in....josh dun? i looked around until i saw the flaming haired boy sitting in the back row, his body slouched and his arms crossed with an unamused expression.

i gave a smile and a quick wave as he returned it with a nod.

"welcome to your junior year, students. take a look around at your peers, you'll be with them all year long. we're going to play some ice breaker games and get to know eachother and then you'll be sent off to your next class, okay?" everyone nodded. "alright. so we're going to go around the classroom and everyone is going to say their name, hobbies, a little about yourself, favorite musical artist and favorite....let's say....food. let's start with you, mrs Martinez?"

"hi...I'm melanie martinez. my favorite food is gingerbread and cake...cookies..anything sweet really. I love singing and baking. my favorite artist would have to be Adam Levine."

soon enough it was my turn.

"uh hey...uh my name is tyler joseph." i saw josh scribble something down. "my favorite musical artist is fall out boy and im going to see them in september! i-i uh...like to uh listen to music and stuff. a fun fact is my parents own the sweet joseph tea company but that isn't really fun because they pay too much attention to that and talk like Winnie the Pooh." everyone laughed at that. i smiled. "i like pizza."

I was anxious to hear what josh had to say, but one caught my eye before him.

"im Brendon urie, i like singing which is lame but my inspiration is fall out boy, my favorite food would have to be Burger King and something fun about myself is that i am fun to be around, at least that's what my mom says." i laughed and decided that when class is over I'd talk to him.

now, the moment we've all been waiting for.

"im josh dun, you don't look me in the eyes. fall out boy rocks. i live for Chinese food and that's all you're going to know. nothing else to me." he mumbled. i raised my hand and mr smith called on me.

"mr smith, I'm sorry but I know a few things about josh i wanna share." he nodded and waved and arm. i looked back at josh who was banging his head on the desk. "josh, staaahhp. you like baking too. it's really cute. and you are going to see fall out boy in September with me. you own a lawn mowing business and you cut my grass every Monday. everyone should get their grass mowed by him because he does it good for 20 bucks."

"thank you, mr Joseph. and that concludes our class, you are dismissed."
