"That's it for today students remember tomorrow you'll have a Math test on what we've done recently have a good evening"
I started collecting my books and putting them in my bag I couldn't wait to go home school days feel like they last forever sometimes. I noticed a frown on T.J's face I gently tapped him on the shoulder.
"Are you alright dude?" I asked
"Yeah I'm just nervous about the test some of the stuff we've been learning is pretty hard" He shrugged
"I'm sure you'll do great you can already answer a lot of the questions if you spend time on the things you're unsure about you'll be okay" I encouraged
"Thanks man I'll just have to pull an all nighter or something" He said as we walked out of class
"Good luck" I said
"You too" He wished as we parted ways.
I went to my locker taking out a text book I would need so I could study. When I closed it I jumped backwards a little in surprise as I saw Cyrus standing there.
"Cyrus you scared me"
"Sorry" He said sheepishly "T.J said he has to study tonight and I'll distract him apparently so I thought we could hang out" He smiled
"I'm in the same class as T.J so I'm afraid I need to study too sorry" I apologised
"Well maybe I can help" Cyrus smiled
I knew why he desperately wanted to be with me. It was because of that night I came to his house ever since then he's been there for my panic attacks or just to check up on me he's also tried to help me think of ways to tell my parents for the most part I don't mind I don't feel as alone but I did really need to study and I really didn't want to talk about mental health or anything.
"Cy I know you mean well but this test is important"
"I promise we will be productive and completely on task" He reassured
"Alright" I said giving into his begging.
Cyrus had only been to my new apartment a few times I always said that it was pretty small that's why I don't have loads of people round but he always said he liked how welcoming it was. When we got in my parents weren't home so we set up on the small dining table with my laptop and two glasses of water.
"So what do you wanna study first?" He asked me
"I think I'll start with algebra"
My mom suddenly entered with the jingle of her keys and a few shopping bags.
"Hey mom" I greeted
"Hi Jonah... and Cyrus hi" She said a little stunned
"Hi Judy, Would you like some help with those?" Cyrus asked
"No thanks sweetie however I guess you too made up?"
"Yeah we did" I confirmed
"Yes the argument wasn't that big of a deal really after Jonah told me the truth" Cyrus spoke
I gestured for him to stop before my mom started asking questions.
"What truth?" She furrowed her eyebrows
To late.
"Um it was just about why I... don't invite him to the apartment that often" I lied
"Oh Jonah I always say should invite your friends over" She scoffed ruffling my hair
Once my mom retreated to her room I gave Cyrus an annoyed look.
"Why did you say that?"
"Because it's not good to keep secrets in general let alone from your own parents" He pointed out
