The next day (which was Sunday) Cyrus woke up to a text from Tj.

Tj💡: hey Cy! wanna come over today and do our math homework?
cyrus💚: sure! what time?
Tj💡: whenever.

Cyrus looked over at the time. It's was 10:03. Dang he slept in a little bit. He looked back at his phone.

Cyrus💚: How about 11?
Tj💡:That's good! :)

Cyrus got out of bed and got dressed and ready. He combed his hair, brushed his teeth and every other thing he would normally do. Then he grabbed his book bag and swung it around one shoulder heading out the door.

Cyrus didn't know why, but he was kind of nervous. The whole soulmate thing made him more nervous around Tj. He tried not to focus on it though.

Cyrus walked up to Tj's door. He looked down at the worn away welcome mat. He took a deep breathe and knocked. After a couple seconds the door opened. But it wasn't Tj it was Amber.

"Hello Cyrus." She smiled really big. Her blonde hair that was usually curly had been straightened.

"Hey Amber. Love the hair." Cyrus looked at her hair and then back at her face. Amber smiled and moved over a little so Cyrus could walk in. Cyrus did so and Amber shut the door behind her.

"Tj! Your boyfriend is here!!" Amber called. Cyrus looked at her in confusion. Then Tj came running down the steps.

"He's not my boyfriend Amber." He said as he quickly looked at Amber and then at Cyrus. He smiled. Amber smirked and let out a sarcastic "mhm." Tj rolled his eyes.

"Hey." Cyrus said a smile upon his face.

"Hey." Tj smiled back and waved for Cyrus to follow him up to his room. Cyrus followed him. TJ's room was painted a baby blue. His bed sat in the corner of the room with a nightstand next to it. He had a desk on the left of the entrance. His closet was to the right. He even had his own bathroom.

The room wasn't very decorated, just like Cyrus' but Cyrus liked it. Tj looked at Cyrus as he observed the room. Then he walked forward and lightly pushed Cyrus into the room revealing a light glow. Tj shut the door and sat on his bed.

Cyrus sat next to him, placing his book bag on the ground. He took out his math stuff. Tj did the same. Cyrus looked over at Tj who was really focused. He was so focused he slightly poked his tongue out of his mouth. Cyrus watched as Tj stopped and thought.

Then Tj turned his head to look at Cyrus because he was going to ask for help. He was a little shocked when he realized Cyrus had been staring at him.

"Oh...uh I need help with number 3." Tj slowly tilted his paper toward Cyrus. Cyrus nodded and looked at the problem. Then he showed him how to do it. Tj nodded and continued his work. Cyrus focused on his too. Tj occasionally asked for help and Cyrus provided. Eventually they were done.

"Well that only took," Tj looked down at his phone, "Almost a whole hour." Tj laughed.

"If someone would've stopped getting distracted maybe we would've finished earlier." Cyrus chuckled. Tj tapped Cyrus' shoulder with a light punch that glimmered. Neither of them were used to that yet. But they tried to just ignore it.

Tj got up and walked over to his desk to put his work away. He noticed two pieces of paper sitting there.

"Hey I have these two coupons for free roller skating from my grandparents." Tj spun around holding them up. "Wanna use them?" He raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"But they are yours." Cyrus knew that would be a mess. Him on wheels? A disaster waiting to happen.

"They expire next week and I don't plan on using them anytime soon." Tj walked over to Cyrus handing him one of the tickets.

"Me plus wheels? You do not want to see that." Cyrus knew that it would be embarrassing.

"I can help you." Tj let out a big smile. Cyrus sighed and looked at the ticket.

"Fine." Cyrus let out. Tj cheered. They put their shoes on and headed out the door.

Eventually they arrived at the roller rink.
They got their skates on. Tj stood up and twirled. Cyrus laughed. Then he stood up nervous. Then he tried to walk and he practically fell into Tj's arms. Cyrus let out a scream. A light shined from the contact.

"Don't worry Cy, I got you." Tj smiled. This made Cyrus smile. Cyrus stood up more straight letting go of Tj.

This was going to be fun.
