Saturday Afternoon.
The next day, Cyrus is going to meet up with Andi and Buffy at The Spoon when he finds Kip and his friends standing outside the diner. Kip walks to Cyrus, making him nervous.
"I know your secret," Kip whispers, causing Cyrus to start shaking.
"Which one? I have a lot of secrets," Cyrus says hoping to avoid the subject. "You know what they call me, the-boy-with-a-lot-of-secrets."
"They call you that? Or should I say, chocochipmuffin13," Kip says referring to Cyrus' username on FacePage.
"You're cutepuppy1000?" Cyrus asks.
"No," Kip says. "Ew! Gross." He takes a spit.
"So, how do you know...?"
"Oh I know a lot of things, Cyrus," Kip brags. "I know who your secret admirer is. And soon the entire world is gonna know about you and him too," Kip threatens.
"Please don't!" begs Cyrus. "I will do anything. Please just don't."
"Blackmail is such an ugly word," Kip says.
"Who said anything about blackmail?"
"I did," says Kip. " I literally, just said it. And now, you're gonna do whatever I ask you or else..."
"What do you want?" a scared Cyrus asks. "I hope it's not something illegal. I can't afford to go to jail."
"Oh you know what I want," Kip says then feels the need to clarify himself. "I need you to hook me up with your friend, Amber."
"But Amber..."
"Non-negotiable!" Kip shouts. He then talks in an intimidating voice. "You either set me up with Amber or the world finds out about you. I wonder how the parents and teachers would react if they found out about your little hobby. Most of them are not as open minded as you would think. It would be a shame if you got kicked out of the school and didn't get to go to your precious Ivy League colleges."
"You know about my Ivy League dreams?"
"I do my research," Kip says. "Now, go do your part and get me with Amber. I don't care if she's dating someone else. She listens to you. You have until the end of the day."
Cyrus starts crying, "Please don't make me..."
"Now leave!" Kip shouts in a very intimidating voice. Cyrus runs for a few feet and then wipes his tears to look like everything is okay before entering The Spoon Diner.
After hearing about the incident, Buffy and Andi blame themselves for pushing Cyrus to reveal who he was to some random account. Above all, they are very upset with Kip.
"So, are you gonna do it?" Andi asks Cyrus.
"I don't know," Cyrus replies.
"You can't give into Kip's blackmail," Buffy says. "Sure, Amber may not be the best person out there, but she deserves better than this jerk. You can't submit to a bully."
"So, what are we gonna do?"
"I'm gonna have a 'talk' with that jerk," Buffy says angrily.
"No, please don't," Cyrus begs. "If you get involved, you will only make things worse like you do when you go all Buffy on someone."
"What other choice do we have?" Buffy asks.
"I will," Cyrus says to Andi and Buffy's surprise. "I need to be able to stand up for myself."
"What exactly are you planning to do?" Andi asks.
"Nothing," says Cyrus. "He said I have until the end of the day to update him on the Amber status. I'll just do nothing."
"Whatever happens, we'll be right here," Buffy comforts Cyrus.
Cyrus may have been courageous enough to not give into blackmail. But he had no idea what was waiting for him.
Monday morning. Jefferson Middle School
It's Monday morning and Cyrus hasn't heard anything from Kip since Saturday despite not meeting his deadline. Perhaps Kip was just all talk. He feels a little relieved as he walks to school with Buffy and Andi.
As Andi, Buffy and Cyrus get in through the doors, everyone is whispering and looking at them. Specifically, they're looking at Cyrus. They know something is definitely wrong.
"What is it?" Cyrus asks. "Do I have something on my hair? Did a bird poop on my hair again?"
Before Andi and Buffy can react to Cyrus' comment about bird poop, Andi's eyes are caught by some posters on the wall. "Oh no," she says.
"What?" Buffy asks before noticing them too.
They're images of Cyrus alongside screenshots of the messages he was exchanging with the cutepuppy1000 account. The posters are filled with homophobic slur as they expose Cyrus as gay to the entire school. They can't believe someone would do such a thing.
Cyrus faints.
He is quickly taken to the school nurse. The nurse says that Cyrus had a panic attack. He's going to be fine. Andi and Buffy stay with Cyrus until he recovers. About ten minutes later, Cyrus fully regains consciousness. The girls hug him. The nurse leaves them to catch up with their friend.
"Don't scare us like that," Andi says.
"That Kip jerk has messed with the wrong slayer," Buffy says because they all know it was Kip who made the posters. "I'm gonna kill him."
"What's the use?" Cyrus cries. "The damage is already done. I'm finished, Buffy."
Meanwhile, back on the hallway, TJ leads the other students to quickly take the posters down. He tries to convince them that it was an elaborate prank that didn't mean anything. Once all the posters are taken down, TJ goes to the nurse's office to check in on Cyrus.
He puts his hand by Cyrus's head and says, "I am so sorry, Cyrus, you don't deserve any of this."
"Thanks, TJ."
"I can't believe my brother would stoop this low," TJ says. "I mean, I know he's a jerk but..."
"Wait," Cyrus interrupts. "You know Kip did this?"
"How do you know?" Buffy asks raising eyebrows as if she's ready to hit TJ. "Unless you helped him do it..."
"Because," TJ says and pauses. He then continues, "he stole my phone."
"Your phone?" Cyrus asks.
"If that was your phone," Andi says, "then that means you're - "
"cutepuppy1000?" Cyrus interrupts.
"In the flesh!" TJ confirms with a smile on his face.
"I knew it!" Cyrus says!
"Hold on, that still doesn't explain you and Amber at the gym," Buffy says.
"You saw that?" TJ asks Buffy.
"No, I did," Cyrus responds.
"Oh, you got it all wrong," TJ explains. "Amber had come to complain to me about Kip stalking him. She wanted my help. As a friend."
"Ohh," Cyrus says then smiles.
"Wait, is that why you haven't talked to me all weekend? You thought I liked Amber?"
"Yeah?"
"My love belongs to only one person," TJ says, sitting on the bed where Cyrus is lying. "And that is you, chocochipmuffin13."
"Really?" Cyrus asks.
TJ then looks at Cyrus and closes his eyes. Cyrus closes his eyes too. TJ leans in and they both share a passionate kiss. They wish they could be stuck in this moment for life.
"Awww," Buffy and Andi say in unison, interrupting the kiss.
"I love you, Not-So-Scary Basketball Guy," says Cyrus.
"And I love you my Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffin," TJ says.
Cyrus and TJ signal Andi and Buffy to leave the room so that they can have a private moment.
THE. END... OR IS IT?
