Once Upon a Time in the city of Shadyside lived a small family. Leslie and Norman Goodman, they owned the most popular diner that they named The Spoon. Leslie and Norman wanted a son so that one day he can take over The Spoon one day. But they have trouble getting pregnant. But one day Leslie found out she was pregnant and Norman was the happiest man alive.

Nine months later Leslie gives birth to a beautiful baby boy that they named Cyrus Goodman. But sadly Leslie died 10 minutes after giving birth to Cyrus. Norman was sad that his wife died but happy that he has his son. Growing up Cyrus would hang out at The Spoon.

In that diner that's how Cyrus met his two best friends Buffy and Andi. Cyrus met Buffy first. Buffy came into The Spoon with her parents one day.

"Hey" Cyrus said well walking up to Buffy

"Hey" Buffy said to Cyrus

"I'm Cyrus" Cyrus said

"Hey Cyrus, I'm Buffy" Buffy said

"Hey Buffy" Cyrus said

"Cyrus what are you doing in a place like this all by yourself." Buffy's mother asked.

"My dad owns The Spoon" Cyrus said

"That's cool" Buffy said

"Buffy you should order the baby taters" Cyrus said

"Baby taters?" Buffy asked in confusion

"That's what I call Tater Tots." Cyrus said

"Oh okay" Buffy said

Cyrus started to walk away.

"Cyrus" Buffy said

"Let's be friends" Buffy said

"Sure okay" Cyrus said

Then 2 weeks later Cyrus met Andi. Cyrus was in his dad's office got bored and started walking around The Spoon. He sees his new friend Buffy with another person and walked up to Buffy.

"Tater Tots" Cyrus said

Cyrus had his 8th birthday party at The Spoon. He had all the employees and his best friends Buffy and Andi at his party including some of the customers. Norman brought out the cake. Cyrus blew out his candles and Norman ran into a beautiful woman. Her name was Sharon and Norman fell in love and went on a few dates with her. Two weeks after the party, Andi's mom Bex went to The Spoon to get a job. Norman gladly gave Bex a job as a waitress.

After a few months of dating Norman married Sharon. Cyrus not only gained a new mother but he also gained two new sister's. Sharon has two daughter named Amber and Iris. Amber and Iris are around Cyrus's age.

Sharon was a mean person. When Norman was at work, she made Cyrus clean up his entire house all by himself. Sharon would tell her daughter's to make huge messes that it would take Cyrus all day to clean up. Luckily when Norman was at home, Cyrus got a broke from cleaning up. He would take this chance and go hang out with his friends.

One day on his way to work Norman got into a car crash and died. Cyrus was very sad that he lost his dad. Since Norman didn't live a well, Sharon got everything Norman owned even Cyrus. The moment Norman died, Sharon made Cyrus moved out of his room and into a small room in the attic. Nothing has changed, she still made Cyrus clean his whole house without help. Luckily Sharon let Cyrus go to school.

At age 13, Cyrus found out he was gay. He told his best friends and they accepted him and they even became closer. At age 15 Sharon made Cyrus work at The Spoon. Sharon made Cyrus work long hours and she paid him very little. On school days in the morning Sharon made Cyrus cook them breakfast, clean the house before living for school. After school, he had to work his shift at The Spoon from 3-11pm.

One day Cyrus was fast asleep, he was dreaming that he was making out with his long time crush, the captain of the basketball team TJ Kippen. Cyrus was smiling in his sleep when Sharon rudely woke him up.

"Cyrus get your ass up I'm hungry" Sharon shouted from behind his door

"I'm up, okay Sharon" Cyrus said

Cyrus quickly got dressed, went down stairs to start making his step families breakfast. Cyrus made his family hash browns, eggs, toast, he made Sharon coffee and waited for his step-sisters Amber and Iris because they always wanted something different to drink. Well making breakfast Cyrus started to clean up his house.

"Hey Cyrus I want milk" Amber said well walking into the kitchen

"Hey Cyrus I want milk also" Iris said

"Okay" Cyrus said

Cyrus quickly got the plates made and served his family. Cyrus quickly finished cleaning his house, he broom the kitchen and living room. Pick up his step-mothers and step-sisters room. Lastly he broom the dining room, and ate his breakfast. After that he got his backpack and headed to school.

Outside waiting for him was his best friends Buffy and Andi.

"Hey Cyrus" Buffy and Andi said at the same time

"Hey" Cyrus said

"You seen happy this morning Cyrus" Andi said

"Well I had this amazing dream before my step-mother rudely woke me up" Cyrus said

"Tell us what your dream was" Buffy said

"Okay, in my dream I was making out with TJ on my locker at school" Cyrus said

"AW that's cute Cyrus" Andi said

"I still don't know what you see in him" Buffy said

"I know you and TJ don't get along" Cyrus said

They get to Shadyside High School and see a sign that says "Shadyside High Halloween Dance this weekend".

"Cool the halloween dance is this weekend" Buffy said

"You should go with TJ Cyrus" Andi said

"TJ doesn't know that I even exist, plus my step-mother has me working at The Spoon this weekend" Cyrus said

"Cyrus why do let Sharon treat you like this?" Buffy asked

"Because my father loved her and plus that house belongs to me" Cyrus said

Andi and Buffy left Cyrus at his locker so they can get to their lockers. Cyrus was at his locker and opened it,he was getting the textbooks he needed for the classes he had for today. On the door of his locker he had a mirror and it showed him that TJ and the basketball team were walking this why. Cyrus quickly looked into his mirror to fix his hair and straighten out his clothes. Once he was finished he closed his locker and watched the basketball team walk passed him. TJ looked at Cyrus when he walked passed him and gave him a little smile and a wink. Cyrus was sure that he was blushing once TJ winked at him.

Once TJ was out of cite Cyrus started to walk to his class and tried to get his blush to go he got to his class, he managed to get his blush to go half down. Throughout the day he keeps hearing students calling him "diner boy". Cyrus didn't understand why people call him that but he either just ignore it or went along with it. By lunch his blush went all the way down and he was glad because at lunch he sees his best friends and also his step-sisters.

"Hey guys" Cyrus said

"Hey Cyrus" Andi and Buffy said together

"What happened?" Buffy asked when she saw Cyrus smile like crazy

"I have no idea what you're talking about" Cyrus said

"Come on Cyrus what happened" Andi said

"Fine when I was at my locker TJ come and when he walked by me he smiled and even winked at me." Cyrus said

"Aw Cyrus" Andi said

"Wow you really are head over heels over this guy aren't you Cyrus" Buffy said

The friends ate their lunch and once they were finished the bell ranged. Luckily Cyrus had his last 2 classes with Andi and Buffy, but he also had TJ in his last class. At the end of the day Cyrus went to his locker to put all his books in his locker and get his work uniform.

Cyrus, Andi and Buffy were walking to The Spoon.

"Thanks for walking with me guys" Cyrus said

"Anytime Cyrus" Buffy said

"Make sure you ask Sharon if you can go to the Halloween dance this Saturday" Andi said

"I'll see what I can do" Cyrus said

"Cool see you later" Buffy said

"Later Buffy and Andi" Cyrus said well walking into the diner.

Cyrus walked into The Spoon and smiled at each customer. Cyrus walked into the back so he can change into his uniform. Once he was dressed he went to Sharon's office that was once Norman's and knocked.

"Come in" Sharon said

"With who do you think your going with" Iris said

"With my friends Andi and Buffy" Cyrus said

"Aren't they going with there own dates" Amber said

"I don't think so why would you think that" Cyrus asked

"You mean Jonah and Marty" Cyrus said

"Yay that friend of yours Andi is a boyfriend steeler" Amber said

"Look Amber get over that the reason why Jonah break up with you wasn't because he wanted to date Andi but because he saw how much of a terrible person you truly are." Cyrus said

"That's it" Amber said well getting something from the counter.

Amber got someone's cup of coffee well Iris got a bottle of ketchup and started to dump it all over Cyrus.

Cyrus was speechless after what Amber and Iris did to him

"Oh may god so sorry about that bro" Amber said without pedy

Sharon, Amber and Iris walked out of The Spoon. Cyrus was about to cry when Bex came over.

"I'll clean this up, you go clean yourself off." Bex said

"Thanks Bex" Cyrus said

Cyrus walked out of The Spoon and instead of walking straight home to change, he went to the park. When Cyrus got to the park he saw that the swing set was all alone and Cyrus sat on the he sat he began to cry until he heard someone.

"Are you okay" Someone said

"Yes I'm okay" Cyrus said

"It can't be all that bad" Someone said

"You don't know half of it" Cyrus said

The person that was talking to him walked over to the other swing and sat down.

"Can I see the face that I'm talking to" Someone said

Cyrus was crying into his hands the entire time and lifted his head to see who was talking to him.

"Your TJ" Cyrus said shocked when he lifted his head up and saw that it was TJ.

"Your diner boy,right" TJ said

"Okay Cyrus, I guess I'll see you later than" TJ said

"Sure" Cyrus said

"Bye" TJ said well standing up and walking away

"Bye" Cyrus said

Cyrus started to walk to his house so he can change into new clothes. Cyrus can't believe that he was talking to TJ and that TJ was talking to him. When Cyrus got back to The Spoon, he continued to wait tables. At around 8 he started to clean up. First he wipe down the tables, and then he broom the floor. After that since business was slow around this time, Cyrus started to do his homework. Cyrus always did his homework at The Spoon so he can go to sleep the moment to just home.

Cyrus was done with all of his homework around 10 and had an hour left. In that hour some people came in and order somethings. Around 11 he went home, when he got home, he reheated some of the stuff that the cook left for him to take home. After that he take a shower and got dressed to go to bed.
