"same stuff"

He likes me, he likes me not

Cyrus's P.O.V.

I lay awake, just thinking about how T.J. looked back. Amber's words ringing in my head. "If they look back at you that is a sure sign that they like you way more than a friend." She was telling me this because a boy she had been flirting with at the spoon looked back at her before he left. I just can't shake this weird feeling in my stomach, was it me he looked back at? I could swear it was...but he's not gay. So he must have been looking at Buffy. I sighed and rolled over, my clock read 3:07 a.m. why am I even up this late thinking about T.J. looking back at me or Buffy? Well I guess I can't lie to myself anymore I obviously like him, and he obviously looked back at Buffy, and once again I have a crush on a straight boy who likes my best friend. I decide I needed to get some sleep for school tomorrow, and when I have to face him.

T.J.'s P.O.V.

"Cool, I'll see you around then." I smiled at Buffy, but glanced at Cyrus right before I turned to leave he still had the cutest wow look on his face, I guess I impressed him with my rapping. As I walked away I felt so happy, Buffy finally forgave me which means she doesn't hate me or the fact that Cyrus and I are friends. Cyrus, without even thinking about it I turn around to see if he is still looking at me. He is... they both are watching me, I gave Cyrus a small smile. He looks like he is gawking at me or like he's kinda under a spell, but he's not gay...right?

Cyrus's P.O.V.

"Hey Underdog there you are!" T.J. walks over to me with that gorgeous smile planted on his face.

"He-hey T.J." my eyes flicker to the ground. Now that I'm fully admitting my feelings for a boy that may or may not like my best friend, I am finding it hard to act normal around him. He seemed to pick up that something was wrong.

"You all good?" He looked... concerned? But duh why wouldn't he be. We are friends. Just friends. I started trying to make an excuse of why I needed to go to class when-

"Hey gays!" Buffy walks over,

"What did you just call us?" I half yell.

"Um she just said "hey guys" T.J. looked at me and scrunched his eyebrows. Buffy smiles as she makes her way in between us and put her arms around us.

"So now that we are all friends I think we should do something all together." She looked like she didn't fully mean it, but it was nice she was trying, even though I would rather do anything else.

"Yeah! That sounds great, how about after school?" T.J said a bit to enthusiastically I half smiled and then turned "Yea okay meet you two after school got a lot of studying to do and you know the other such stuff..." I faded out as I walked quickly towards the doors hearing Buffy yelling she will text me the details.

T.J.'s P.O.V

Cyrus rushed off and even Buffy looked confused.

"He was acting weird right?" I ask

"Yeah, what were you two talking about before I got here? Did you say something?"

"What?" how could she just she just assume that right away "We literally just said hi and then you came over." She tilted her head and pursed her lips. "Is...Well do you think he is mad at me?" I ask thinking i don't want the answer.

"I don't think so, I mean he didn't say anything to me. Nothing happened after the we left the school yesterday, right? Why, do you think he is."

"No nothing happened I just talked to him the first time today. I don't know though I didn't think he was, he just didn't seem that happy about hanging out. Where are we even going to do?
