Cyrus discovers that his crush on Jonah never actually went away, but this time, it's even stronger than before. Told from a single POV.

Cyrus POV

What was I thinking? I spent so much time paying attention to TJ, only for him to gently let me down. It wasn't his fault, but it still hurt so much.

After TJ had left, I met up with Andi and Buffy, tears rolling down my face. I felt like such a loser, as I had believed I genuinely had a chance with him.

Buffy gave me a hug when she saw me, but Andi was the first to say something. I really didn't want to have this conversation.

Andi: Cyrus, why are you crying?

Me: TJ doesn't like me. He never did.

Buffy: Did he say why?

Me: He isn't interested in guys.

Andi: You can't hold that against him, but at the same time, I can understand this being tough for you.

Jonah: Hey guys!

I was becoming more on edge, particularly with Jonah entering the fray. I had a huge crush on him, but I didn't say anything, as I knew it would've been pointless.

Me: H-hi Jonah.

Jonah: Cy, what's the matter?

Me: It's TJ, he didn't want to go out with me. He isn't interested in guys.

Jonah: Aw, but why get upset? Clearly he wasn't your soulmate. The person you belong with is out there, and you best believe that with all of your heart.

I allowed myself to look directly at his eyes, seeing his face. His dimples were so defined, and his smile was enough to make me go weak.

Me: Thank you for saying that.

Jonah: It's just the truth, and you deserve nothing less than that.

Andi: Come on Buffy, we've got to get on with our science project.

Buffy: Oh yeah, we must be going boys.

As the girls left, I felt upset yet happy. I was with Jonah and my heart was doing cartwheels. I was fully aware of what was happening.

Jonah: So, do you wanna hang out with me?

Me: Of course, I'd love to!

Jonah put an arm around my shoulder, and led me back to his house. By this point, I had completely forgotten about what had happened with TJ. In fact, I'd forgotten about TJ entirely.

I sat down on Jonah's bed, and he smiled at me once more, allowing my mind to be distracted and for my imagination to go wild.

Jonah: Are you okay dude?

Me: W-what? Yes I'm cool brah!

I cringed at the fact I was talking to speak like that. Jonah, being who he was, could see right through it.

Jonah: You don't need to do this. Just be yourself.

Me: It gets so tough at times. I feel so lonely.

Jonah: I feel like that constantly.

I didn't know that he felt like that, but it made me feel good to realise that I wasn't a loser. He sat down next to me, and I got excited by his closeness.

Me: Really? But you're so popular.

Jonah: People only go out with me because then they will be the focus of school gossip.

Me: Then they don't deserve you.

Jonah: In the same way TJ wouldn't deserve you, even if he did like guys.

I wondered what was going to happen next, as the adrenaline pumping around my body was giving me more confidence.

Me: I want to tell you something Jo Lamajama.

Jonah: Okay, what is it?

Me: I have the biggest crush on you.

I hope you enjoyed it.
