I'm counting down the days to go (Joshler)

chapter 3

Tyler's pov

The rest of the day went by fast . I stood outside of the school with Patrick and Pete waiting for my mom to come. The familiar blue Honda came to view. I said "bye" to the couple and entered the car. "Hey honey how was your day" my mom asked. I don't even know if all that happened today was good. "It went alright" I answered. After that there wasn't really not much to talk about so the rest of the way home was silent...not that I mind.

I went straight to my room. My room was the only part in my house where I could be alone. The band posters that hung up on my wall just made it better. I sat on my desk doing homework when I heard a knock on my door. "Mom said dinner is ready" I heard Maddy from outside my room door. I was actually hungry. "Okey" I said and headed downstairs.

I sat at the kitchen table that was mostly silent with Maddy talking from time to time. "Tyler I go to work earlier tomorrow I don't think I can
take you to school."my mom said. "And you know your dad always leaves before us." She said before I could speak. "I can walk or maybe take the bus" I offered. My mom and dad looked at eachother then turned to me.

"I don't know Tyler." My dad said. "Mom I'm 17 I think I can walk or take a bus without getting lost." I said in an annoyed tone. "What if something happens to you and we're not there to help you" My dad said. "What if Josh takes you, you guys go to the same school." My mom said. I stared at her before speaking. "Mom I'm not gonna go to someone I barely talk to just to get a ride to go to a school that isn't even that far away."

"Mom really I can walk, there is nothing to be worried about."
"Mom he's 17 I think he's old enough to walk by himself." Zach said. "Yea it's not like he is still gonna fall for the old candy trick." Maddy said. Zach and Maddy giggled. "So can I walk? I asked. "Fine but be careful" mom said. "I will" I said a little annoyed.

-----------------------time skip----------------------

6:00 a.m My alarm woke me up. I went to take a quick shower loving the relaxing way the water felt when it hit my skin. When I got out I went to my closet to pick out my outfit. I put on a simple grey shirt with black skinny jeans and my black vans. I didn't really put much effort in my outfit...I mean I had no one to impress.

I was walking down the street when I saw Josh. He saw me. "Salutations" he said. I stood there trying to comprehend what that meant. "What does that mean? I asked. "Salutations? It means hello" he said. "Oh it makes me want like...crackers." crackers? Seriously Tyler what a better way to embarass yourself. "I never see you walking." Josh said. "Uh my mom had to work earlier than usual today so she couldn't drive me to school"

"Well it's kind of far for you to walk" he said. "Well I don't have a choice and I don't know how to take a public bus" I told him. He looked at me smiling. "I can give you a ride if you want" he said. "No it's fine I can walk, I don't wanna bother you" I said looking at the ground.

"Tyler come on, we're going to the same place anyways" he said still smiling. "Fine" I said. I got into his car and buckled my seatbelt. I thought the ride was going to be silent until Josh spoke. "So any hobbies?" he asked. "I like basketball" I answered. "Sick! We should play sometime and see who wins" he said. "Um the the thing is that I can't really play it anymore." I said.

"Why not? I remember you used to be hella good at it last year." Josh said. "Yeah but I guess times change and I lost interest." I wasn't looking at him... I couldn't, I used to love basketball but I had to give it all up because of cancer. Talking about this would always make me sad because I had to limit things that I loved because of cancer...and I hated that.

I guess Josh saw me staring off because he spoke again. "Hey man are you okey?"
"Yeah I'm fine" I answered. I wish that was true...I wish I was fine...I wish I was healthy...I wish I could be me again. But I just wasn't... "I just wanted to make sure" he said. "I am I was just starting off that's all." We arrived at school, I saw Patrick and Pete by the entrance doors.

"Bye Josh, thanks for driving me to school." I said once I got out the car. "No problem dude... hey um Tyler do you think we could um hang out after school...I know we don't talk much but I'd really like to change that." I was honestly surprised that he wanted to hang out.

"Yeah that'd be sick dude." I said. "Cool do you want to meet at my house or at yours?" he asked. "I think yours" I responded. "Okey then I'll see you later" and with that he walked away. I walked over to the doors where Patrick and Pete were.

They looked confused because they saw me get out of Josh's car. "Well what have I missed?" Pete asked me. "Nothing it's just that he saw me walking and offered me a ride." I told him. "That's it? Patrick asked. I smiled looking at the ground then looking back at them. "Well I am going to his house after school" Patrick and Pete's jaws dropped. "Seriously?" Patrick asked. "Yes" I answered.

"So who tops?" Pete asked. Patrick shoved Pete's shoulder playfully. "No none of that we're just gonna hang out, jeez Pete." I said. "Don't listen to this idiot and it's great that you're hanging out with Josh, you better tell me what you did." "And if he gets handsy just tell me cause he'll regret it" Pete said. Patrick hit the back of Pete's head playfully.

"We're just hanging out Pete and we should head to class, we're gonna be late there's only 10 minutes left till the bell rings." Patrick and Pete nodded and we headed into the school.

I went to history while Patrick and Pete headed seperate ways.

Josh's pov

I said bye to Tyler. I went to my first period class, when I walked in I noticed Brendon talking to Ryan and Dallon tapping his fingers repeatedly on the desk. He was staring at Brendon and Ryan...I guess he was jealous. He jumped when I tapped him on the shoulder. "oh my god Josh you scared me" he said. "What's got you so distracted?" I asked. "Nothing" he responded. "Is it because of Brendon and Ryan?" I asked another question.

"Doesn't Ryan like Brendon?" he asked. "I think so but-" I was cut off by Dallon whispering to me "the thing is that I like Brendon." I stared at him with a smile. "Everyone knows that" I told him. "Do I really make it that obvious?" he asked. "Both of you make it obvious" he stared at me confused. Before he could say anything Brendon walked over.

"Hey Josh, Brendon said. "Hey Dallon" he said before I could say hi back. "Hey Brendon how have you been?" Dallon asked. "I've been good how have you been?" Gosh would you two just kiss. I've been good as well" Dallon answered. "Hey um Dallon how come you sit alone in lunch? Brendon asked.

"Well I-uh-none of my friends have lunch with me so I just sit alone." I could tell he was nervous. "Do you wanna sit with me and Josh? Brendon asked. "You really want me to sit with you guys? he asked. "Of course dude we don't mind" I said. "Yeah man now we actually can have somewhere to talk more besides in class." Brendon said.

"Well then I guess I'll be sitting with you guys" Dallon said. "And um one more question" Brendon started "can I get y-your phone n-number?" he stuttered. I could see Dallon's blush. "Yeah um do I type it in your phone? Dallon asked. "Yeah" Brendon said as he passed Dallon his phone. And with that he typed his phone number in.

The rest of that period was just Brendon an Dallon talking. Brendon didn't talk to me the whole period but I didn't mind because I know Brendon and Dallon liked eachother.
