Chapter 5: The Book

Cyrus sat there awaiting the ring of the bell that dismissed him. He was excited to hang out with Tj and he didn't really know why. The bell finally rang and he practically ran out of class.

Tj was waiting by Cyrus' locker. Cyrus smiled and waved as he walked up to him.

"You memorized where my locker is?" Cyrus laughed putting in his combination. Tj laughed and gripped the one book bag strap that was on his shoulder.

"Yeah...I guess." He chuckled and leaned against the locker. Cyrus grabbed the books he needed and shut his locker. He smiled and began walking as Tj followed.

"So I was totally lost in-" Tj got cut of as Cyrus tripped and fell to the ground. Tj gasped.

"Are you okay?!" Tj asked leaning down to pickup the books Cyrus dropped. Then he held out his hand to help Cyrus up. Cyrus took it and their hands glowed. They kinda just stood there mesmerized by the light.

"Hey Cyrus..." A voice interrupted. It was Buffy. They quickly let go of each others hands. Cyrus' face got all red.

"Buffyyy...hey." Cyrus nervously smiled. Buffy furrowed her eyebrows and walked closer to them. She looked back and forth between Cyrus and Tj.

"What are you two doing?"  Buffy smirked and crossed her arms.

"Um I tripped and Tj was helping me up." Cyrus explained biting his lip.

"Riiight." She glared at Tj.

"So did you happened to see our hands like...glowing?" Cyrus asked. Tj lightly hit Cyrus' arm. Buffy was confused then she looked at Cyrus.

"You really believe that stupid book-"

"Um we should get going." Cyrus blurted out and pulled Tj's arm as it glowed. When they were far enough away Cyrus let go. Cyrus didn't want Tj to know anything about the book.

"What was that all about? What book?" Tj asked looking over at Cyrus as they walked.

"I don't know. But no one can see when we glow. that's good...and not. Because for all we know we are going crazy." Cyrus facial expressions changed. Then he sighed and looked down.

"Yeah...I don't know. Maybe instead of doing math we can try and figure this out." Tj said placing his hand on Cyrus shoulder smiling. Cyrus laughed a little.

"Anything to get out of math." Cyrus laughed. Tj laughed along with him and removed his hand. They eventually reached the spoon. They sat in a booth and ordered baby taters and milkshakes.

Cyrus began to pull out his math stuff. Tj looked at him raising his eyebrows.

"I thought we weren't actually gonna do math but figure the whole glow when we touch thing out." Tj laughed. Cyrus laughed as he put his stuff back in his bag.

"Ok fine...even though I'm pretty sure we are just going crazy." Cyrus shook his head. Tj rolled his eyes.

"Gosh what a negative Nancy!" Tj sighed. Cyrus laughed. That moment seemed to happen in slow motion. A smile lighting up Cyrus face. Tj admired his beautiful smile.

Their conversation ended up changing about a thousand times and they ended up going to Cyrus' house. They walked in and were welcomed by Cyrus' mom.

"Hey Cy! Who is your friend?" She asked smiled. Cyrus looked over at Tj.

"This is Tj." Cyrus smiled.

"Nice to meet you." Cyrus' mom shook hands with Tj. Tj smiled and then they rushed up to Cyrus' room.

"So do you actually wanna do math now?" Cyrus asked laughing. Tj nodded slowly as he looked around at Cyrus' room.

It had light blue walls. There was a desk, bookshelves and a nightstand but not much decoration. Cyrus laughed a little at Tj's amazement.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick but feel free to look around." Cyrus laughed and walked out. Tj walked around the room until he reached the bookshelf. Tj ran his fingers along the books and stopped at one called "Human Touch."

Tj pulled the book out intrigued. He flipped to the page recently bookmarked by Cyrus.

The physical touch of two soulmates will cause an epic glow to radiate in the spot touched.

Tj furrowed his eyebrows and kept on reading a little more. He shut the book in shock. All of that was just like what happens to Cyrus and Tj. But soulmates? Tj never liked a boy before. What did it all mean?

Tj placed the book on top of the book shelf and grabbed his bag that he had thrown on the floor. He walked out of the room. Cyrus saw him from down the hall and ran up to him grabbing his hand causing it to glow. Tj snatched his hand away.

"I have to go." Tj ran down the stares and out the door before Cyrus could say a word. Cyrus stood there and went into his room looking around. His eyes focused on the book out of place on top of the bookshelf. Shoot.
