Chapter Text
TJ's POV
It was just a normal Monday morning. I started getting ready for school and my phone buzzed. I walked out of the bathroom with my toothbrush in my mouth to check my phone. Cyrus had sent me a text "Hey want to talk to school together today Im down the block". I replied sure and continued getting ready. I didnt expect Cyrus to want to walk with me since we just started being friends and the rest of his friends werent fond of me, but I didn't complain he's a cool guy.
I was still changing when my mom called saying Cyrus was here. I told her she could send him upstairs and she did. I had just put pants on when he knocked on the door. "You decent?" He questioned, slowly opening the door. "Yeah come on in I just have to change my shirt" "okay" Cyrus stepped in as I took my pajama shirt off exchanging it with a plain black shirt and a blue camouflage hoodie.
"You ready to go?" I looked over at Cyrus who was sitting in my bed facing away from me. He got up and turned to me. "Yup" he smiled softly and I got this warm feeling in my stomach. I shook my head and guided Cyrus out of the house and we started heading to school.
"I was suprised that you texted me this morning" I looked over at Cyrus who had a soft blush along his cheeks
"Why? Youre my friend and I pass your house on my way to school anyway"
"I dont know I guess since Buffy and Andi arent my biggest fans... I didn't think you'd be either"
"What do you mean?"
"They basically hate me Cyrus. I really thought that you would too, especially because of how I acted in the start"
"They don't hate you, they're just.. what's the right word.... Cautious? Protective! Theyre just protective of me.."
"Why do they think they have to protect you?"
"Theyre just concerned with your people skills. I mean you used to date one of our friends and she gave warnings. I dont really agree with her though, youre cool"
"Wait but why are they concerned with my dating life? We're not dating"
"Huh? Oh.. oh no thats uh thats not what I meant I know we're not" Cyrus cleared his throat and I looked at him suspiciously.
"Do one of them like me or something?"
"No they both are in relationships. They're actually already with their soulmates"
"Really? In highschool? Wow I guess theyre with their highschool sweet hearts. Thats pretty cool"
"Yeah it is.. Have you met your soulmate yet? Like has their name appeared?"
"I don't know if I have, the name hasn't popped up but that doesnt mean I havent met her. People say that sometimes the name doesn't pop up for months. What about you"
I looked over at Cyrus who seemed deflated, "Uh ye- I mean no I havent"
"Are you okay Cyrus?"
"Yeah Im fine" Cyrus stood straighter and smiled at me. We walked into school and the bell rang. Cyrus waved at me and I noticed writing on his wrist. I couldnt tell what it said but i knew it was a name. He knew who his soulmate was, so why'd he lie? I didn't get it but shrugged it off anyway, maybe he was embarrassed. I waved goodbye snd started heading to class. I wondered when my soulmate's name would appear. I wasnt sure I met them yet.
