Tyrus: Will We? (Completed)

Chapter 6

TJ POV

I waited for Cyrus to show up at school. This would be our first time seeing each other for over a week. And we also haven't spoken in a while because I've been around Kira so much. This should be awkward.

"Buffy!" I exclaimed as I saw her walk by.
"Oh. Hey TJ", she said, a little annoyed.
"Have you seen Cyrus?" I asked.
"No, why?"
"I just... want to ask him how his trip went"
"Ok?" She seemed suspicious, "oh there he is" she looked past me. I turned around and saw him waking towards us. My heart stopped.

"You know what? I just remembered in needed to meet up with Amber", I lied. I quickly walked away before Cyrus could get there. I spotted Amber with her friends.

"Hey there. How's it going?" I went up to her.
"Really?" She turned around.
"What?"
"You chickened out" she said.
"No. I just love talking to my sister"
She stared straight into my soul.
"Ok fine". I turned back around and walked towards Cyrus and Buffy.

"Hey Cyrus" I walked up behind him.
"TJ!" We was startled.
"So... Chicago" I couldn't think of what to ask.
"Yeah?"
"That guy you met. You two a thing now?" It pained me to ask that.
"Well no, but we did talk all night"
"... fun"
I looked over at Buffy who, judging by her facial expression, could sense the awkwardness happening.
"We should go to class", she said.
"Good call" I said. I turned and walked away.

Cyrus POV
I got to school and saw Buffy standing with TJ. As soon as TJ saw me walking over to him, he left.
"What was that about?" I asked Buffy.
"He said he wanted to ask you how your trip went", she said.
"He already asked me last night. I told him everything"
"Interesting..." Buffy looked over my shoulder. "Oh look at this"
"Wha-"
"Hey Cyrus". I got scared. I turned around and saw TJ.
We talked for a couple of minutes before he left to go to class.

"If that isn't proof that he likes you then I don't know what is" she said.
"What? How?"
"Oh come on. He was all nervous and awkward. When have you ever seen TJ awkward. He's the captain of the basketball team"
"Well... I guess never. But that doesn't mean-"
"And he looked jealous when you mentioned talking to Chicago guy all night"
"Ok which is it Buffy", I said, "should I get over him or believe he likes me?"
"All I'm saying is that he seemed odd"
"You were saying that he likes me"
"Ok. He was clearly bothered by Chicago boy"
"You can't tell me to not get my hopes up and then get them up"
"Well then I lied. Because he clearly likes you. I don't know why he's with Kira" she said.
"Maybe because he doesn't actually like me" I said.
"Maybe. But maybe he's lying to himself"

That night I sat on my bed, thinking about what had happened earlier. I went through my messages with TJ from the night before. Then I saw it. The 3 dots show up again.
"Why is TJ texting me?" I asked myself.
"Can I tell you something?" He asked.
"Anything" i responded.

Then he responded.

I read the words on my screen.

I couldn't believe it.

"I like you"
