Rubik's Cube (Joshler)

Josh's POV ~

I just finished unpacking the last box of my stuff when my mom came down to my room (Josh's room is in the basement) and told me to go to bed early tonight and to set my alarm for the morning. I groan in frustration and collapse on my bed realizing I start at my new school tomorrow.

"But mo-" I try to protest but she cuts me off. "no buts, sleep and up early...I'll drive you tomorrow but tomorrow only cause I start work the day after."

"Okay" I sigh and get up to give my mom a kiss and say goodnight. After she leaves I go brush my teeth and get ready for bed, but before dosing off I remembered to set my alarm.

°~°

I kept waking up at various times during the night going over everything that could go wrong tomorrow in my head. It felt as though I had just fallen back to sleep when my alarm rung through my bedroom. I groan and bury my head in my pillow not wanting to get up.

After about 30 more seconds of my alarm annoyingly going off I force myself out of bed to turn it off and get ready for the day.

I got dressed, ate breakfast, and started to brush my teeth. Half way through brushing my teeth mom walks by the bathroom and tells me to hurry up and get my shoes on before I'm late. So I do just that and hop in the car already feeling anxiety coursing through my veins.

When we pull up to the school I just sit in the car and stare at the door handle hoping if I stare at it long enough I wont have to get out, which obviously failed. Soon enough mom started talking "everything's going to be okay just go get your schedule and go to your classes, try to make some new friends. I'll see you after school have a good day" and with that I got out and waved goodbye.

I walked through the main doors feeling a few gazes on me. Swallowing hard I continue walking down the main corridor until I find the door that reads 'office' and walk in.

Almost right after I walk in and shut the door behind me, the secretary notices my presence and walks to the desk. "Can I help you with anything?" her voice was kind and soft which made me feel a little more at ease.

"I-I'm new here. I-I n-need my schedule." I try my best not to stutter but end up failing. "Of course sweetheart. Whats your name?" I stare at her blankly for a few seconds before realizing she asked me a question "J-Josh. Josh Dun."

After getting my schedule I only had to wait about 2 minutes before the bell signalled for first class to start.

My classes for the day consisted of math first followed by chemistry, English and band last. There's only 4 classes because I have double classes which means 2 hours a day in the same class. I happen to have double English today.

I went about my classes for the day and I was doing pretty okay if I do say so myself, I haven't broke down and cried yet which I consider to be good.

I was doing pretty good until the first half of English class. The teacher made me stand up and introduce myself which I didn't appreciate.(none of the other teachers made him introduce himself)

I sigh before standing up to introduce myself as I was told "H-hi.. My name is J-Josh." a few kids snickered in the class before one kid who looked like he was on some sort of sports team commented on my stuttering, which only made more people laugh. So I just sunk into my seat keeping my head down.

The whole class kids around me would pass me notes with mean things written on them or throw things at me. I was feeling very self conscious and anxious. I felt tears threatening to fall. That's when I abruptly stood up, grabbed my things and left instantly regretting my action but I kept going. Soon enough tears were streaking down my cheeks as I ran down the hall trying to get out of the school and home where I could lay in bed and regret ever waking up today.

As I'm not paying attention I run into something or someone I should say who seemed to be in just as much of a rush to get out of the school as I was, both of us fell to the ground with a thud.

A/N ~ 779 words not counting a/n I'm so proud of myself. Not gonna lie this is the most I've ever written. Anyway I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading.... Also I'm going try to do the story alternating the POVs between Tyler and Josh so next chapter will be in Tyler's POV.
