Josh's alarm went off, the boy jumping and cursing before turning it off. he grabbed his phone, the brightness of it blinding him. it was 6am on a Friday and he had to get up for school. Josh went to Worthington high, home of the warriors and it was the 7th week of school for his senior year and man was he tired of it.

Josh had very good grades, none under an 84 and is enrolled in all the ap classes he could take including ap calculus, ap us history, ap language, and ap biology. he doesnt play any sports but he goes to every football, baseball, and soccer game to watch brendon and dallon play. brendon urie plays goalie for soccer and he is the quarterback, and dallon is pitcher for baseball and reciever for football. Ryan is brendons boyfriend and also Josh's best friend since elementary school. Emma is dallons girlfriend.

that was their friend group, and Josh loved them all.

"Josh, you up?" he heard from the hall, a little knock on his door following.

"yeah, abi?" Josh mumbled, reaching out and turning the lamp on.

his door opened, his 7 year old little sister Abigail walking in with a brush and a pony tail.

"can you put my hair up again?" she asked. abi was in first grade.

"of course, come here." he smiled. she walked over there, letting him brush her hair and put it up in a pony tail.

"thank you." she said.

"no problem, I'll be down in a bit to make you some cereal." he said, Abigail nodding and shutting his door. Josh gets abi and Ashley ready and drives them to school in his white range rover every morning. Ashley is 15, almost 16, and will be able to drive when Josh graduates. jordan is only 3 and doesnt go to school yet.

he finally got up, grabbing a pair of black Nike joggers and sliding them over his boxer briefs. he paired that with a long sleeve pinkish Patagonia shirt and his brown birkanstocks over his white Nike socks.

he went in the bathroom and brushed his teeth before wetting his brush and brushing through his dark, long curly hair. his hair on the sides was shaved short and up top it was long and curly.

"shit!" josh gasped as his phone starting ringing, a facetime call from Ryan popping up. Josh answered, being met with Ryan's sweet face.

"hey ry, what's up?" josh groggily answered.

"fuck me in the ass josh I dont know what to fucking wear." Ryan said, josh laughing at his bestfriend.

"do you have options picked out?" he asked, holding his phone out as he walked down the stairs to make some breakfast.

"I have like 7 different outfits but I dont like them and I keep a switching them and fuck I dont know what to wear Josh this is serious call the fucking police!"

"ryan," josh said between laughs. "lay all your clothing items out and show me." he propped the phone up on a candle on the kitchen island, turning around to grab three bowls and the cereal and milk.

"how long have you been doing this for?" Josh asked, Abigail and Ashley appearing from the stair case.

"for fucking forever! I'm so stressed!" Ryan said.

"hey, watch your mouth. kids are in here." Josh said, taking a bite of his cereal and smiling at Ashley's mad face that she was just called a kid.

"sorry, I've been around brendon too much lately. HI ABI AND ASHLEY!"

"hey ryan." the girls mumbled out tiredly.

"okay Josh, these are my options. pick." Ryan turned the camera around, showing Josh all his laid out clothes. brendon was definitely the most fashionable person in the group, along with Emma, and it really has rubbed off on Ryan.

"okay uh. wear the darker wash jeans with the rips and uhm, the whitish yellow short sleeved button up, dont forget to roll the sleeves so people know your gay," Ryan and the girls laughed at this. "and your white Van's with bright socks with yellow in them. and dont forget a belt."

"this is why your my bestfriend. I love you." Ryan flipped the camera back over, a stupid smile on his tired face.

"love you too ryannnn. now get dressed and don't be late. we have lab today first period." Josh groaned.

"yes sir. see ya later."

"byeee." josh said, hanging up the phone.

"ya'll about ready?" Josh asked, pouring his extra milk down the sink drain and rinsing his bowl out.

the girls nodded, josh taking their bowls and doing the same before running his hand through his hair and grabbing his backpack.

they all loaded up in Josh's range rover, with Ashley in the front and headed off to abis school first. it's the same school except a different building for first through fifth grade. sixth and up is in the high school building, but sixth, seventh, and eight are in their own hallway for middle school.

once Josh arrived in his parking spot, Ashley went ahead and got out and Josh stayed in his car, waiting for Ryan.

he got his juul out and his phone, keeping himself occupied as he waited. their whole group was of course stoners, cause you cant be friends without brendon urie, and not smoke pot. though brendon nor Ryan will admit, the rest of the group is 99 percent sure he grows it, or knows someone who does.

he turned, after hearing a knock on his window, seeing Ryan smiling with brendon behind him.

"nice outfit," josh smiled, checking him out. "hey bren, looking fabulous today." Josh smiled.

"thanks Josh. you always know the right words to say." brendon joked. he was wearing some black casual dressy pants with white vertical small stripes on them and had a white t-shirt tucked into those with black suspenders on. he was also wearing a tan peter Grimm turu hat set on the more back of his head so his hair looks flawless. he paired that with some black oxfords and of course some beautiful socks. brendon always wears the best socks. today, they had pictures of Ryan's face on them.

"my socks! I love them!" Ryan said once he noticed. he got them for brendon the other day, just for a little surprise.

"wait, theres dal and Emma." Josh said, seeing the new couple get out of dallons truck.

"hey guys." he said, Emma copying him.

"look at my socks!" brendon immediately said, showing them his socks.

"those are so beautiful!" Emma said, giggling. she was wearing some ripped, light, cropped mom Jean's and had large holed, highwaisted fishnets on and a slightly cropped white graphic tshirt paired with a ripped light denim jacket. she paired this outfit with her solid black timberland boots.

"Ryan what do you have first period? i forgot." brendon said.

"ap bio with josh." Ryan replied, thanking dallon for holding the door open for all of them.

"oh yeahhh. alright well good luck baby. love you." he said, pecking Ryan's lips.

"love you too." he smiled, waiting for him to leave and saying bye to Emma and dallon.

"you wanna stay at brendons house tonight with me? we can all sleep on the floor in the living room." Ryan asked, stopping at Josh's locker with him.

"yeah sure. what about dallon and emma?" Josh grabbed his biology binder, closing his locker.

"there gonna go out tonight, I already asked."

"oh alright. yeah I'll go home first then come over." Josh followed Ryan into the class room, sitting down next to him. there were rows of chairs in this class and Josh and Ryan sat on the farthest from the door in back of the class. Josh sat closest to the wall and Ryan in the row next to him.

"you got our paper?" josh asked, Ryan nodding and pulling it out of his folder.

"alright class let's have the girls go to the library and do the work I gave you today and the guys go to the lab." mrs tucker said, the class following her orders. she has to split up the boys and girls cause 1-it's a pretty even split and 2-that class was so big, not everyone fit in the lab so the girls went yesterday.

"ryan." Josh giggled, tugging at the top of his shirt where it came down a bit. Ryan had a large hickey on his chest.

"sorry." Ryan laughed, fixing his shirt a bit.

"such a whore." Josh shook his head, Ryan laughing.

"josh I'm gonna get you a boyfriend. and not a trashy one like isaac." Ryan said, making conversation while him and Josh started their lab. isaac was Josh's ex boyfriend from sophomore year and he was just a dick. he didnt know how to be in a relationship and it was just trash.

"you say that like everyday." Josh laughed, rolling his eyes.

"but I am! come on, tell me who you would date in this class." Ryan said, looking around. "uh, max is gay, Tyler's bi, nathans gay, and I'm pretty sure Xander is at least bi."

"im not gonna pick who I would date." Josh said.

"come on." Ryan nudged him.

"uh fine. I guess for dating I would choose max. hes super sweet and pretty quiet. plus hes a snack." Josh said.

"I'll hook you up." Ryan said.

"Ryan dont, I'm fine!" he laughed.

"fine, but who else?"

"well um, Tyler and Nathan's group are all major fuck boys and assholes. and Xanders way outta my league." josh said.

"well you gotta admit they're hot. especially tyler. brendons kinda friends with him and oh my lord." Ryan said, fanning himself.

"well yeah. Tyler's extremely hot. but hes a dick. plus I've maybe talked to him like once in my entirety of high school with him." Josh said, looking over at the tall boy. he was wearing black Nike joggers paired with a sorta tight red sweatshirt that said worthington high on it. he was wearing that with of course Nike socks and his white Nike air maxs. his hair was brushed up and back but still messy. it was shaved on the sides and very long on top.

"you should suck his dick." Ryan said, josh laughing.

"oh my god I would never." Josh said, Ryan rolling his eyes. Ryan always nags on Josh that hes gonna get him a boyfriend, mostly because hes still a virgin. Josh is pretty innocent, having only given blowjobs to isaac and maybe two other people. he doesnt want to go around and do that kinda stuff with random people, and wants his first time to be special with a person he likes.

"mhm." Ryan said, laughing after.

"Tyler! what did I just say!" mrs tucker yelled after hearing a crash, everyone in the class turning their attention to her.

"uh not to run around?" Tyler said, trying to cover up his laughter. he was just roughing around with jaxon, his lab partner, and knocked over his beaker of substance. luckily it was just dish soap, but the glass broke on the floor.

"go get the mop and clean this up. next time you mess up in a lab your not gonna get to do it and I'll give you a zero! and this isnt funny!" she yelled.

"yes maam." Tyler nodded, turning around and laughing with his friends. he went and got the mop, cleaning up the mess while videoing to put it on his snapchat story.

"what an ass." josh mumbled.

"okay, head back to the class room. tomorrow Monday yall will go to the library and work on your lab reports." she said, everyone following her to the room.

"you gonna keep the paper?" josh asked, Ryan nodding and putting it in his folder and his backpack.

"tyler, see me after class. oh and you too josh." mrs tucker said, josh looking confused and nodding. he saw Tyler's head turn around to look for josh. he saw him, josh making accidental eye contact and seeing Tyler look him up and down before he quickly turned back to Ryan.

"what do you think that's about?" Ryan asked.

"I have no idea. I'll tell you later I guess." Josh said. the bell rang, Ryan saying bye to Josh and walking to his next class.

"boys have a seat please. I'll notify your teachers." she said, waiting for everyone to leave the classroom before she walked up to Tyler, standing in front of his desk.

"Tyler, I'm really concerned for your grade in here. you're doing so so good in all your other classes, so why not this one?" she said. Josh sat confused and uncomfortable.

"uh I don't know I guess this class is just super hard." he shrugged, sitting lower in his chair.

"I don't want you to fail this semester and right now that's the path you're taking." she said.

"really it's that bad?" he said, anxiously biting his lip. he really did care about his grades and everything and was surprisingly very smart though he may not act like it. Tyler had high Bs and As in all his classes except for this one.

"yes. it is. that's why I thought I'd bring Josh in." she said.

"what does he have to do with anything?" Tyler asked.

"I thought itd be good for you to have a tutor. and Josh is one of our top students and it'd be good for him too." she explained.

"a tutor? uh uh. no way." Tyler shook his head.

"you can meet up at one of yalls houses and study for an hour or so, maybe every to every other day. youd really benefit from it."

"so we could do it at my house, not at the school?" Tyler asked.

"yes of course." she nodded. "josh?"

"uh yeah I guess." he said. he really didnt wanna tutor this boy. though, Tyler really does care about his grade and Josh could help him. plus it would make a good impression for mrs tucker.

"alright fine. I'll try it out." Tyler nodded.

"thank you Tyler. you too Josh. all right, you can go." she said, waving them off.

"aye Josh wait up." Tyler said as Josh was walking out the room.

"you wanna come to my place Monday after school and start?" he asked, standing oddly close to the boy. God he smelled so good.

"u-uh yeah sure. thatd be fine." he nodded, watching Tyler run his hand through his visibly soft hair.

"can I get your snap?" Tyler said, holding his iPhone 8+ out.

"why?" Josh asked, mentally cursing at himself for being so nervous. this boy was just so tall and fit and so damn hot.

"so I can text you my address and stuff." he said, josh feeling stupid.

"oh yeah that's smart." Josh nodded, pulling his iPhone 8+ outta his pocket and opening snap. he went to his snap code, letting Tyler scan it and add him.

"ight sweet. see ya Monday." Tyler nodded, looking at Josh with a slight smirk.

"cool. see ya." josh nodded.  he could've sworn he saw Tyler wink.
