Cyrus had hated the fact that he was seen as weak compared to other boys at school. He knew that he was strong and he was confident enough.
When he got to school, he met TJ. He always felt happier around the taller boy. TJ offered him a safe place, a sense of protection, and someone new to talk to.
"So, how are you?" TJ greeted.
"Oh, I'm okay" Cyrus responded "Even better now I've met you"
"You flatter me" TJ chuckled "Not that I'm complaining"
"I'm just telling you the truth" Cyrus insisted.
"Shall we go inside?" TJ suggested.
"Yes, let's go!" Cyrus agreed.
Walking into the school, Cyrus looked around and saw that apart from Andi, Buffy and Jonah, everyone looked miserable. They approached the others with confusion.
"What's going on?" Cyrus wondered.
"I don't know" Jonah replied "Everything seems different today"
"Perhaps all of the students are just nervous about the upcoming exam?" Buffy suggested.
"But this is different, I've never seen the whole school look so sad" Andi added.
"Whatever it is, I'm sure it will work out" TJ stated.
"I hope your right" Cyrus reacted.
As Cyrus walked with TJ, he was unnerved by the silence that surrounded him. It was becoming creepier by the minute.
All of a sudden, he was swept off his feet by some members of the basketball team. Cyrus was horrified and they started to become violet.
"P-please" Cyrus struggled "S-stop you're h-hurting m-me"
They just carried on, laughing with every strike that hit him. Cyrus was starting to panic, but a second later, he was dropped to the ground.
He looked up and saw TJ pushing his team mates around, shoving them well away from Cyrus and giving them a piece of his mind.
"Stay the hell away from him!" TJ ordered "Or I'll make sure you do!"
Cyrus watched with quiet satisfaction as the others ran away. TJ held out his hand to help Cyrus up, before pulling him into a hug.
"Are you okay?" TJ asked with concern.
"I'm fine" Cyrus answered, shaking slightly.
"I promise you that they will not bother you again" TJ affirmed.
"Thank you" Cyrus rejoined.
"Don't mention it" TJ retorted.
"I'm just glad you were here" Cyrus commented.
Cyrus had started to calm down, but seeing TJ protect him was a strong reminder that no matter what, he was never really alone.
