Chapter 2: Two Strangers With Big Imaginations

That day during sixth period Cyrus had to used the bathroom. He raised his hand and quietly mouthed bathroom pointing towards the door. His teacher nodded.

He left the classroom and quickly walked to the bathroom. He was just about to turn the corner to the bathroom when someone accidentally ran into him.

There was a bright flash of light that hit Cyrus by surprise. He fell to the ground looking up at who it had been. Tj Kippen. He got more nervous.

Tj held out his hand for Cyrus to take. Cyrus grabbed it as a ball of light surrounded their hands. They looked down at their hands quickly pulling them apart.

Their eyes met as they had a look of shock on their faces. Then Cyrus looked down at his hands as a thought popped into his mind. The book. Human touch.

Cyrus quickly walked around Tj and into the bathroom. He looked in the mirror. Tj walked back to class. Was Tj his soulmate? No way. They hadn't talked at all to each other. They never even looked each others way.

Cyrus sighed and rinsed his face. Then he headed back to class. He sat in his desk his mind racing the rest of the day.

At the end of the day, Cyrus met up with Andi and Buffy. They were planning on going to the spoon. They were walking when they were stopped by Tj.

"Hey Cyrus...can we...uh talk?" He hesitated wondering if he actually wanted to talk about what happened. Buffy raised her eyebrows.

"Why do you Mr. Tj Jerkface wanna talk to Cyrus?" Buffy looked back and forth between Tj and Cyrus. Cyrus rolled his eyes and walked closer to Tj and nodded.

"I'll meet you guys at the spoon?" Cyrus offered. Buffy sighed and agreed. Her and Andi walked away.

"Ok so what do you wanna talk about?" Cyrus asked like he already didn't know. Tj bit his lip.

"Um...I...uh need help with math. Yeah I need a tutor." Tj blurted to avoid the true reason he wanted to talk to Cyrus. Cyrus laughed.

"You are such a liar." He smiled. Tj smiled along with him.

"Ok...I just wanna know what happened between us..." Tj said in a lower voice. Cyrus softly shrugged.

"I think we are two strangers with big imaginations". Cyrus smiled and began to turn around when Tj grabbed his wrist to stop him. All of a sudden a light flashed. Cyrus pulled away.

"That is not our imaginations Cyrus." Tj said firmly. Cyrus got closer so he could whisper.

"Let's just forget about all of this. Let's just forget about each other." He said and then quickly walked away. Cyrus really had no idea what had happened. Of course he read the book but it was just some stupid book...or was it?
