This one also takes place after the "Mount Rushmore" episode. It will be in TJ's POV.

"Legs go up, legs go down. That's how we make the swing go round," I sing Cyrus's swing song as I'm on the swing alone. I really messed up. I ditched Cyrus for Kira and I don't know how to forgive myself. I might've lost him for good. "Drag your feet, you go slow. The more you drag-"

"Nice song," I hear behind me. I look up and see Cyrus standing there. The last time I saw him was when he saw me in a costume with Kira. I can feel my nerves exploding inside me.

"Hey Cyrus," I say, trying not to panic.

"Why'd you do it?" Cyrus asks. Great. Just what I wanted to avoid.

"Cyrus I-" I start but he cuts me off.

"It feels like I'm always a second choice. I'm never the first. I thought you were the one person who actually cared. Why am I not good enough?" He looks like he might cry. I feel like my heart is breaking.

"Cyrus that's not it at all," I say, standing up. "You are my first choice. Always have been."

"Then what happened?"

"Kira...she-she got in my head. I don't know how to explain it but I just couldn't do it."

"I get it. You thought we would look like dorks. It's fine," he states, turning around.

"Cyrus, no, that's not what I think," I tell him, walking towards him. "I really wanted to do the costume with you, but Kira just- I don't know. I think she knows something."

He turns back towards me. "Like what?"

"Like...a secret. Something personal that I've never told anyone and I was scared. I was terrified that she would tell people."

"What did she say to you?" Cyrus asked. "That made you think she might know something."

"But....if I tell you you're gonna hate me. I just-I can't."

"TJ, that's not true. You can trust me, I promise."

"Okay," I say, looking down. "She said.... 'So you'd rather do a costume with Cyrus than with me. Okay. Have fun with that.' A-and then she just smirked and walked off..."

"TJ," Cyrus says, and my heart starts pounding out of my chest as I look up as him. Why did I just tell him that? I mentally face palm as I prepare for the worst.

He puts his hands on my shoulders. "It's okay."

"It is?" I ask.

"Yes," he assures me. "Could you maybe just clarify for me what you mean, in-in case I've misunderstood?" He takes his hands off my shoulders.

"Cyrus," I start. "I-I-"

"Yeah?"

I take a deep breath. "I like you... I really like you. Like, more than a friend." I look down again.

"I really like you too. More than a friend," he says, and my heart stops. I look up and he's smiling.

"Really?" I ask, calming down a bit.

"More than you know," he tells me.

"So....what happens now?" I ask as he walks closer.

We both start to lean in and our lips touch. I can feel an intense sensation of butterflies in my stomach as we kiss. We pull away after about 7 seconds, both of us blushing extremely hard.

"Cyrus, will you be my boyfriend?" I say to the brown-haired boy.

"I'd love to," he replies and hugs me.

We walk back to the swings and sit down. I can't stop smiling. Best day ever.
