What A School Year (A continuation of 'What A Summer')

Waste of Time

Third Person
*Later that day*
Cyrus walked around the corner to see Tj with his head in his hands. Cyrus immediately dropped his stuff and attacked Tj with a kiss.

"What even happened Tj?" Cyrus asked. Tj let out a heavy sigh.

"I honestly don't... know..." Tj said. He closed his hand which was shaking.

"Well I cant help you feel better if you don't tell me what's wrong."

"Cyrus..." Tj said. "Anytime someone mentions my dad I just go numb... I'm not mad or sad... just numb..."

"You still miss him don't you?" Cyrus asked. Tj sighed again.

"Of course I do... he's my only biological family besides my supposed sister who left before I was born..."

"Well then we can call her!" Cyrus said.

"No we can't. She's been off the grid for years."

"Well we have to tell someone. Why don't we call-"

"NO Cyrus! We... are not calling anybody!" Tj yells.

"I'm... I'm sorry to suggest that." Cyrus apologized. "Just tell me what you need to feel better?"

"What I need right now is... some fresh air." Tj said.

"Yeah... ok..." Cyrus says. "I can come with if you want."

"No, I think I'll go this one alone." Tj says walking out of the living room and out the door. Leaving Cyrus on the couch to think.

'Why'd I even suggest that...?'

Andi's Pov
"How's Andi's shack coming along?" Walker asked. Andi refocused her attention from her laptop to her phone.

"Slowly but surely. We haven't worked on it much because of school and having to pack."

"Man, I wish I could help... but I can't go anywhere."

"Why?" I asked.

"I'm grounded for forgetting to put the trash can back in the garage, which allowed it be be blown away." Walker said slightly annoyed. "My mom kurked out screaming 'TRASH CANS ARE EXPENSIVE!" Walker mocked. I laughed at the voice he made.

"That sucks, Daniel and I were going to invite you to come bowling with us after school tomorrow."

"Aw... and be a third wheel..."

"Well... I can see if Buffy or Cyrus would risk staying away from their boyfriends for a couple of hours." I say.

"Your going to need some real glue remover to accomplish that."

"AAAAHHHHH" A voice that sounded like Bex rang from the kitchen.

"Hold on Walker... sounds like Bex found Oscar in a awkward place again."

"Ha... ok." Walker says with a chuckle. I get up from off my bed and walk my way into the kitchen.

"Ok who died!?" I ask.

"No one! Just this flower just opened." Bex said eyeing the red flower.

"And why is this flower so important?"

"No reason..."

"Really? You screamed because a flower opened?" I ask trying to probe.

"Yeah, I was awaiting the this for some time now. Bowie said any week when he put it in the window."

"Alright... I'll just give you and your plant some space." I say backing out of the kitchen and back into my room. I pick up my phone to start talking to Walker again... that's until I caught him changing in front of the camera.

"You know there's this great thing called... PAUSING THE CALL!"

Walker snaps around and covers his screen.

"Sorry! Sorry! Uh... I'm gonna go... see ya tomorrow maybe..." He says with awkward clear in is voice.

"Bye Walker..." I say before hanging up...

Great... now I can't unsee that...

Buffy's pov
"Mhm... this is the best doughnut I've had in weeks!"

"Same here." Marty said. "We should go food hunting more often."

"I definitely have to tell Andi and Cyrus about this."

"Yeah... but in speaking of Cyrus... has he said anything about Tj?" Marty asked.

"Uh... no he hasn't actually." I say. "What even happened."

"First this a-hole 11th grader walked by wacking him in the head with his trey in the process. When he confronted the kid he mentioned his father causing him to storm out. When me and Kip tried to talk to Tj, he kinda flipped out on us and disappeared. I couldn't get a hold of him for the rest of the day."

"Wow... I'm surprised he didn't pummel the kid in the spot."

"It look like he was about to but something stopped him." Marty said. "Well... one thing we've learned from this is don't mention Tj's father."

"Yeah..."

Third person
Cyrus ran for the door when it rang. Looking through the peep hole he saw Tj with a bag in his hand. Cyrus quickly opened the door.

"Some walk huh? Did you go straight to the spoon?" Cyrus asked. Tj shrugged.

"All this emotional Armageddon made me hungry. So yes I did." Tj said. He took off his shoes and walked into the house greeting Mrs. Goodman who was in the office. He sat the bag of food on the table and sat down. Cyrus joined him.

"So Buffy found this doughnut place that we have to check out."

"Really?" Tj said unpacking the food. "Marty actually took her food hunting. What a interesting human."

"When he said that a over Jonah's, I honestly thought it was the caffeine talking." Cyrus said taking a bit into the baby tater he was now holding.

"Same here. I actually ran into Jonah and Daniel on the way to the spoon. They we're planing Andi's birthday party, which is a surprise by the way."

"I love surprises! Remember that about me."

"How am I supposed to surprise someone who's always asking to be surprised." Tj said.

"Hmph..."

"Anyway, do not mention the party to Andi."

"My lips are sealed!"

Cyrus and Tj went on to enjoy their food, talking about any topic that came up other then what happened at school hours previous. That was until they heard the sound of metal moving in the living room. They walk into the living room to see Cyrus' snake out of its cage.

"Seriously! Again!" Tj said. "I got bit once trying to get it back in its cage I won't get but again."

"Well luckily I'm here." Cyrus said. He placed the snake back in his cage no problem. "If got out only because the latch wasn't down Mr. 'don't worry I'll feed him'."

"It tried to bite me yesterday..."

"Really? What you do? Feed it by hand?"

"Yeah... I thought that's what your supposed to do."

"Yes... But we have tongs for a reason..." Cyrus said holding the tongs.

"Alright Steve Erwin.."
