Epilogue: Cryus usually covers his freckles with foundation but one Sunday he decides not to put on foundation because it was a lazy day and that was the day Tj decided to come to his house
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Third P.O.V
Cyrus woke up from the sound of a vaccum 'I bet it's coraline' he thought he gets up and gets dressed after a few minutes he goes downstairs to see his older sister coraline vacuuming.
"What are you doing?!" Cyrus asks coraline turns off the vacuum and says "I just wanted to wake you up, I just didn't know how" Cyrus groaned her sister has always been like that "you can be a little annoying y'know" Cyrus said to his sister
"Yeah I know, but that's why you love me" she said, Cyrus walked over to the kitchen to make myself a bowl of cereal "So am I going to cover those up today?" She said as she pointed to his freckles
Cyrus's P.O.V
Yes I Cyrus Goodman, have freckles no one has really seen them except for my sister, Buffy, and Andi "Maybe not today, since I'm not going anywhere" Coraline seemed surprised since I would usually cover them up.
The first time I asked Coraline to cover my freckles was in 5th grade, she was super surprised and asking why would I want to do that? I just told her I didn't like them but in reality I wanted to cover them up because a lot of guys in my class kept saying I looked "girly" and I needed to "man up." It was really stupid but I got used to covering my freckles even though I really like them
"Didn't expect that answer but ok, whatever you want" Coraline said. I was pretty surprised from what she said, I would've thought that she would ask me why, but I'm pretty glad she didn't.
"So, what are you going to do today? You going to go out with friends or what?.." I asked Coraline "Yeah I'm going to go to the hang out with Alexia, you'll be fine on your own right?" She asked me. "Of course I will! You go have fun I won't be doing anything today anyways" I reassured her. I didn't want her to worry too much about me. "Ok I'm going to go, bye!" She said as she was walking to the door "Bye! Have fun!" I said back to her
~Few Hours Later~
It was the afternoon and I was just on my phone texting Andi and Buffy since I was so bored, that is until I hear the doorbell ring 'it's probably just Coraline' I thought so I go up and went downstairs to open the door to see the one and only..
Tj Kippen
I immediately slammed the door not knowing what to do 'I don't want him to see me while I have my freckles out!! Eugh what do I do!? Should I-' My thoughts were cut off by Tj shouting "Cyrus! Is everything ok!!"
"Y-Yeah just a s-sec.." I said back I was in panic mode until I remember that Coraline has some masks that shes uses to cover her mouth whenever she's sick so I ran to her room, got a mask, and ran to the front door while putting it on and made sure it covered my mouth and nose so my freckles weren't visible
I opened the door to see Tj there with concern on his face "Cyrus! Is everything ok!? What happened?!" He said "E-Everything's fine! I-I just need to...to uhm get my mask!.. because..I'm sick! Yeah..yeah.." I said, trying to sound convincing but it was obvious that Tj could see righ through that lie. "Ok.." he said slowly "Well anyways! Are you doing anything today?" He asked
"No not really why?" I answered "Well..I was kinda thinking that we should hang out today y'know! Go somewhere or just stay here and chill" He explained "Y-Yeah that sounds uhm great!" I said. Usually I would be exhilarated to hang out with Tj but I don't want to wear this stupid mask for God knows how long!! But I couldn't turn down Tj, that's literally impossible. "Ok! So what do you want to do?" He said as he came inside "We could just stay here and like watch a movie or something?" I said "Sure! I don't mind! As long as it's with you!" He said and I'm so lucky I have this mask on or else he would notice that I was blushing at that comment
For the rest of the time we were just hanging out, watching movies, and just talking since we really didn't want to go out. We were in my room talking about issues about our family and life, surprisingly Tj actually didn't have that good of a life. His dad left his mom when Tj was 7 which led to his mom drinking and smoking. He was usually hit by his mom, her calling him weak, worthless, stupid, which was one of the reasons why he always was so mean, he didn't want to look weak. Amber was really the only person in his family that he trusts and obviously Amber trusts and cares for Tj so much
It was really sad, I was really shocked because I always thought that Tj had the perfect life, being pretty popular, captain of the basketball team, but apparently it's the opposite, after that he asked me a question "Hey..why do you actually have that mask on? It's obvious that you're not really sick, you're such a bad liar" he said "Hey! I say I'm a good liar, just when it comes to lying to you..I'm really bad at lying..heh.."
"So you're really not sick! Why do you have that mask on then?" He asked "Uhh..Uhm..I'd rather..not talk..about..it.." I said, stumbling over my words, I didn't want Tj to know I have freckles! He'll probably think I'm girly!! "Did something happen? Did you get hurt?" Tj asked, concern all over his face "N-No! It's just..I don't..want to t-talk about it.." I said shyly "Cyrus..Is something wrong?" Tj said softly
"N-No! Like I said I just..d-don't want to..talk..about..it" I said stumbling over my words "Okay...well anyways.." Tj said, continuing about what we were talking about before. A few minutes later I told Tj I needed to go to the bathroom so I went and did my business but when I was finished little did I know I forgot to put on my mask, so I went back into the room "So I was thinking of-" Tj was cut off by him looking at me surprised
TJ's P.O.V
I looked at Cryus surprised
He.
Had.
Freckles.
"What?" Cyrus looked at me confused 'So that's what he was hiding from me!' I thought "Is something wrong?" He said, still confused "Uhm..I uh..No..just uh.." I stumbled over my words, HE LOOKED SUPER CUTE and ADORABLE!! "Y-Your face..uhm.." I said still in shock "What's wrong with my fa-" He was about to say until realization hit him "OH!! Uhm I-I'll be r-right back!!" He said, his face going really red. Then he ran out the room and came back with the mask on his face
He came back awkwardly sitting next to me on the bed "You have FRECKLES?!" I said out of the blue "I uhm..I uh y-yeah" He said, obviously blushing "Why would you ever hide them they look so cute!" I said not thinking about what I just said. Cyrus's face went red as a tomato, you could tell even if he had the mask on "I-I mean uhm..that..uh they look..uhh..cute on uhm..anyone!! Y-yeah!! Heh..heh.." I said awkwardly "I-I'm just gonna uhm go.." I said while walking out
Oh how awkward it'll be when we get back to school
