7- My Taste In Music

The short walk to the part is filled with Josh complaining about Tyler leaving him for the day. Their friendship is goals, for a friendship and a relationship. "Actually I'm glad he was busy, now I can hang out with you" He adds. "I just hope he doesn't kick me out of the bands for getting a new friend" He jokes.

A few minutes later we arrive at the nearest park from my apartment. I quietly lead Josh to a tree away from the majority of people. I don't really enjoy large groups of people anymore.

Instead of writing out everything on a notepad I decide it's easier to type. But I keep out the notepad in case I feel like drawing.

"So I'm not much of a nerd, but your outfit looks cool" He compliments awkwardly. I smile and type quickly. 'Thanks but I prefer superwholockian over nerd' I reply somehow trying to sound sassy. Well as sassy as possible as you can with typing. He laughs."That's sarcastic right?" He asks double checking with me. I nod and smile. I haven't smiled this much around one single person since I first meet Clara.

"You mind if I play some music quickly, just to stop any awkwardness?" Josh asks random when there's a short silence for a while. I nod but not before I type out a message. 'Only if I pick the music' He agrees eventually and hands me his phone after unlocking it.

Without even thinking about it I play Blink. I know that Josh loves them and I actually don't mind them. "Good choice" He smiles, proud of my taste in music. "So what other bands do you listen to?" Josh asks since we're on the topic of music.

I start to make a list.
'Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, My Chemical Romance, The All- American Rejects, Green Day, The Brobecks, Paramore, New Politics... Etc" I type out and hand over the phone. He quickly skims over the list and looks offended.

"What about me?" He pouts. I smile and add that to the list, purposely forgetting to keep it off there in the first place. "Better" He smiles slightly.

"So you're going to come to the concert?" Josh asks, going off-topic. I don't reply straight away. I still haven't decided, Clara really wants me to go and by the sound of it so does Josh. But being in large crowds and somehow having to communicate with others is not my thing. I would rather stay at home and read, even if it means missing seeing them live. Well maybe.

'I'm not sure yet' I eventually reply simply. "I would make sure you don't have to talk to anyone and be in any awkward situations" He explains like he could read my mind. 'I'll think about it' I type which makes him smile excitedly.

That makes me feel happy that he's that excited for me to go, but sad because I don't want to break his little drummer heart if I don't end up going. I guess I'm going to have to go.
