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

I've Been There...

Third Person
*Later that evening*
Cyrus and Tj lounged in front of the T.V. In Cyrus' room. This was common place, especially after a long day at school. Which they both had.

"What exactly happened with this Zach dude?" Cyrus asked causing Tj to jump because they sat in silence for so long.

"Uh... he started flirting with me and I shot him down." Tj said. Cyrus sat up.

"Not that part! The part where you outed him to his dad."

"Oh... uh... I told his dad, the principal, that Zach started flirting with me. I didn't know he was closeted."

"Well... I employ you to apologize to him." Cyrus said.

"I'm stuck in detention with him for Three days anyway..."

*Meanwhile*
Jonah laid on his bed as he tried to tune out the muffled back and forward yelling of his parents. The fighting had been getting worse over the months, often spiking to the point where they wouldn't speak to each other for a day or two. Jonah used to stay a Bowie's house when the fighting got bad but since he moved in with Bex and Andi, Jonah could no longer do that without being awkward for Andi and himself.

"Why can't you just take the boy to school tomorrow?!" A voice yelled.

"Because I have to work! To support a family I love!"

"Bull! If you loved this family you wouldn't going gambling off your days earnings every weekend!"

Jonah covered his ears as the fighting got louder. It ended with several stomps down the stairs and a loud slam of the front door. Jonah let out a heavy sigh as he pulled his covers over his face trying to focus his thoughts on a song he was writing as he drifted to sleep.

Andi's pov
*Next day*
"Cyrus, it's not that hard..." I say. Cyrus just taps the table with his pencil. "Just draw what you see."

"I'm not as talented as you two." He says pointing at me and Daniel. "You two are literally holding hands under the table..."

"She's right handed, I'm left handed. Just works out." Daniel says. I hit him on the side.

"Daniel, not helping."

"Fine, a trick to drawing what you see is not to take your eyes off the image. Just trace the lines with your eyes."

"How am I supposed to do that if I have the worst hand eye coordination on a human." Cyrus says.

Where's Tj when you need him....

"Come on Cyrus! It's easy. Here." I say. I guide his hands, drawing a rough sketch of the image in front of him.

"You make it look easy..." Cyrus said.

"If you want me too I can teach you some of my tricks." Daniel offered. I raised an eyebrow.

"Doesn't Walker have a online forum?"

"He does doesn't he! I can give you the link." Daniel said. Cyrus just shook his head.

"I'll just take the inevitable C-..."

*later that day*
Tj and Zach sat in the detention room after school. A awkward feeling filled the air as the two did not say a word to each other since they got there. Tj remembered what Cyrus said and how he should apologize. Tj cursed under his breath before he mustered up the courage to speak.

"Hey dude." Tj whispered over at Zach causing him to look up from his work.

"Hey... what's up..."

"Uh... I just wanted to say I'm sorry... for outing you to your dad."

"You didn't out me. I have great skill in covering things, but I'm sure he's more suspicious then normal." Zach said.

"Oh... that's good."

"You know... I only did what I did because I-I was jealous... of... you..."

"Why are you jealous?" Tj asked. Zach chuckled.

"Is that not obvious. All I want to do is climb up to the top of my roof and scream how gay I am... something you could do at will..."

"If only I could get to the top of Cyrus' roof."

"Huh...?"

"You don't know? I got kicked out." Tj admitted. Zach put a look of shock on his face.

"No I didn't know... why would I?"

"Because Elijah basically yelled it through the hallways." Tj said. "The whole school basically knows."

"Was that the week after the tornado?" Zach asked. Tj nodded his head. "Oh... I was in the hospital. I had cuts from glass and a minor concussion."

"Dang... "

"Yeah... I'm fine now." Zach said. "But have you talked to you Dad since then? If you don't mind me asking."

"Uhh... no... we haven't talked for months and I have one of the best summers with Cyrus and with out his constant yelling. So I guess it's a win lose."

"It's a definite win when you can easily have alone time with your boyfriend." Zach said. Tj let out a silent laugh.

"With Cyrus, definitely not. The dudes too pure." Tj said. Him and Zach both laugh earning them a look from the detention teach who could care less about what they were saying.

"So... can we put this whole situation behind us and start fresh?" Zach asked. Tj smiled.

"Of course we can."

*Later that day*
Jonah walked into his house after a long day at school. Normally he would hear the sound of the Tv playing in the living room and smell the smell of food cooking in the oven or on the stove. Today however, he heard nor smelt nothing. Jonah knew his dad will be gone for awhile but his mom usually told him about her taking an extra shift.

Saddened Jonah trudged into the kitchen to find a note.

"Jonah, I've had to take the night shift tonight. Your free to stay home if you'd like, there's food in the fridge and freezer for you to cook. Please be careful with the stove. If you don't want to stay home you can stay with Mrs. Goodman or Bowie just call them first. Love, Mom."

Jonah sighed at the note. He had no desire to stay home by himself all night. He wanted to call Cyrus to see if he could stay over which he knew Cyrus would happily agree to, but Jonah wanted to talk to Bowie about what's going on. Decision made Jonah pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"Heyyy Jonah!" The voice on the other end said.

"Uh hey Bowie... do you mind if I stayed over tonight? There's no one home and I really don't want to be alone."

"Of course! I'll swing by on my way to pick up Andi. Make sure your ready by then."

"Cool. Thanks Bowie."

"No problem Jonah! Bye bye."

"Bye."

Jonah hung up the phone and marched upstairs to pack his bag and guitar. Once packed he sat on the front stairs as he waited for Bowie silently thinking "what now universe... what now..."
