monday was already kicking tyler's ass, although this time it had less to do with it being, y'know, monday, and a bit more to do with the fact that he'd been lowkey turned down by the boy he had been crushing on for months.

the worst part was that it was after a damn good kiss, so he couldn't even savour that memory.

now he had to muster the willpower to be capable of making eye contact with josh, telling patrick the gritty details of what had happened, and being a living, functioning human being.

ugh. boys.

from the moment tyler woke up he was already dreading going to school, but it wasn't like his mom would let him skip, so he had to march on to the gallows.

the entire walk there he dragged his feet, and things decided to get even shittier the moment he stepped through the doors.

first, some asshole decided to trip him as he was walking down the hallway to his locker, making him drop everything.

then, after he got to the locker, he found somebody had decided to expand their artistic skill set on the small metal door by writing 'fag' in big block letters with a doodle of a cock and balls beside it.

those things were always fun. at least they knew how to spell.

tyler glared at the picture of mikey and pete taped to the locker next to his. why couldn't he just be happy like them? instead, he had to get his heart broken (okay, maybe he was being a bit dramatic) in the middle of the woods by a pretty boy with red hair.

"fuck this so much," he groaned, banging his head against his locker.

"rough weekend?" a voice that tyler found belonged to mikey after he whirled around making an embarrassing squealing noise asked.

after he calmed down, he sighed, "you have no idea."

mikey shrugged. "i'm guessing it had something to do with josh? like, maybe you had decided to confess how you felt but he turned you down or something so now you don't know how to face him today?"

tyler blinked at him for a second before responding dully, "that was uncanny."

"patrick sent me screenshots of you keyboard smashing josh's name over the weekend and filled me in on the plan you two came up with."

"of course he did," tyler said. that made a little more sense than mikey secretly being psychic, although it was still a possibility.

mikey walked up to his locker and opened it, continuing to talk. "so what happened?"

"i don't even know," tyler groaned. "everything was great, we kissed, and then he just ran off."

mikey furrowed his eyebrows, one of the most extreme reactions tyler had ever seen from him. "did he say anything before he left?"

tyler rolled his eyes. "yeah, he said that it wasn't what he had planned and told me not to worry about it. like, what the hell? in what universe would i not worry about something like this?"

mikey stared at him for a second before saying, "did you consider the fact that he had planned a way to make a move on you and that he freaked out when you kissed so he just left?"

tyler huffed, "or maybe he's just not into me and i freaked him out?"

at that, mikey actually burst out laughing, which was probably the most shocking and surprising thing that tyler had ever had happen to him.
