AU Collage (Cyrus Journalism student freshman, TJ English student Somophore) 

The first month in collage and so far everything has gone well for Cyrus, he loves all his classes and has made some friends, but he misses Andi, Buffy and Jonah, they had all taken different paths but each day they contacted each other to talk about different things. 

One day Cyrus has been studying for one of his classes, after several hours he collected his things to return to his bedroom, when he left the library he heard a beautiful melody of a piano, Cyrus was fascinated by her and decided to follow her. When he arrived at the music room he stood for a moment in the door before entering, he opened the door as slowly as possible to avoid being discovered; when he entered the room he discovered a boy playing the piano enthusiastically, he was as concentrated as if he was in his own world, Cyrus was impressed by the boy's talent, when the boy finished playing Cyrus tried to speak but immediately the boy began to play again, after several minutes Cyrus left the room leaving the boy alone with the piano.

When Cyrus arrived at his bedroom he leaned back on his bed remembering the beautiful melodies he had heard, took out his phone and started a videocall to his friends to tell them what happened.

Cyrus: Hi guys!!! What's up?

Andi: looks like someone had a good day, why are you so smiling Cyrus?

Buffy: Yeah, I can see how you radiate happiness 

Jonah: tell us what happened Cy-Guy 

Cyrus: Yeah it was a good day... okay this is what happened to me, I left the library after studying and I listened to the melody of a piano so I decided to follow it, I carefully entering the music room and saw a guy playing the piano, it was wonderful, he played like a professional, I didn't  speak to him,  I only listened to him and after minutes I got out before he could see me.

Buffy: Wow, looks like Cyrus is in love with the piano boy

Cyrus: No!!!! I didn't even know his name

Andi and Jonah: then why are you blushing?

Cyrus: um... I have homework... I love you guys, Bye!!!

Cyrus finished the call to avoid more questions, although Andi and Jonah have been right when he remembers the piano boy, he starts to blush and feels butterflies; it's ridiculous I don't even know his name, how he can like me? Cyrus told to himself,  he shook his thought and tried focus in his school labors,but a particular guy didn't let him concentrate 100%.

Every day at the same time Cyrus went to the music room to see and hear the piano boy, some days he just stood outside the room and other times he entered silently. After two weeks Andi, Buffy and Jonah bothered Cyrus about his admiration for the boy and how it was possible that he had not talked to him yet. At one point Cyrus regrets having told his friends about this mysterious boy.

One Friday Cyrus carefully entered the music room and stayed several minutes to listen to the boy, however when he decided to leave he did not do it silently because he hit some instruments causing the boy to stop playing and direct his gaze towards him.

-I was wondering when that would happen, I thought you were trying to be stealthy- the boy gave a small laugh when addressing Cyrus. Cyrus felt embarrassed to interrupt the boy, in addition to being shocked, because apparently, the boy had noticed his presence previously.

-First, I'm so sorry I did not want to interrupt your concentration and second, do you know I've come before? - Cyrus spoke nervously, it was the first time he was face to face with the piano boy. He's gorgeous Cyrus thought, the boy had dirty blond hair, beautiful green eyes, and a lovely smile.

-Don't worry I don't mind being interrupted and yeah, on one occasion I heard when you came in, I thought you would say something after I finished playing and when I heard you left I decided to look at the hall and I saw you, I didn't say anything because I thought that at some point you would decide to speak to me. Besides  I expected you to make some noise at some point- Cyrus blushed when he heard that the boy wanted to talk with him.

-I'm sorry it seems I was not so stealthy, sorry I wanted to talk to you but I thought maybe you would be mad by my presence piano boy- Cyrus laughed nervously when he saw that the boy was smiling when he heard the nickname. 

-It does not bother me, you're my first spectator, and the piano boy has a name I'm TJ. What is the name of my cute spectator? - Finally Cyrus knew the boy's name and he call him cute.

-I'm Cyrus, nice to meet you TJ- Cyrus approached and shook TJ's hand causing both of them to blush.

-Um... You're a freshman, right. I never have seen you in the campus- TJ instructed Cyrus to take a seat on the stool

-Yeah I am, I study journalism, it's a little exciting and frightening at the same time being away from home and my best friends for the first time- Cyrus commented while taking a seat.

-I study English, and yeah it's a little scary but at some point you stop being terrified- TJ told Cyrus looking him in the eyes.  

-Wow, I thought you studied music or something like that, you play like a professional, where did you learn? - Cyrus asked intrigued to know a little more about TJ.

-The music is beautiful but it is one of my hobbies, my mom is a music teacher so everything I know I learned from her. In fact when I was little I wanted to be a musician and when I was learning I played for her and my dad, but at one point I took it more as a way to relax, that's why I always play at the end of the day.

-Wow, yand your mom are talented, now I understand why you play at this hour; you could keep playing?, I really like to hear you- Cyrus asked embarrassed.

TJ smiled at Cyrus and began to play again, Cyrus could not stop watching TJ while he played and felt that time passed slowly, when TJ finished the song Cyrus enthusiastically applauded what caused TJ to laugh. After one last song TJ accompanied Cyrus to his bedroom. 


-Thank you for accompanying me and letting me be your spectator-

-Thanks to you for listening, it's nice to have company, especially a cute boy- TJ smiled when he saw that Cyrus was blushing. -Hey, um, there's a cafe near campus, you'd like to have breakfast with me tomorrow?- TJ looked at the ground a little flushed.

-I would love- Cyrus took out his phone and gave it to TJ -give me your number, so we can talk- TJ recorded his number with the name "TJ aka the piano boy".

Cyrus smiled at the nickname and sent a message saying "hi" to TJ to register his number, TJ recorded Cyrus' number with the name "Cyrus aka cute spectator".

-So... I see you tomorrow. Here at 9:00 a.m. sounds good?-

-Sound perfect-

-Okay, it's a date. Goodnight Cyrus-

-Goodnight TJ-

Cyrus entered his bedroom and fell on the bed sighing, he could not believe, he had a date with TJ aka the piano boy, after controlling his emotion Cyrus called his friends there was much to tell them.
