Hello andi mack fandom! or what left of it.

About a year ago I posted here the first two chapters to my tyrus fic "fake our way to love" and looking through my draft I just found the third chapter that I never posted. so I reread everything I wrote and I actually kinda like it, so I was wondering if anyone will be interested in me posting the third chapter and possibly finish writing the fic?

Fake our way to love- chapter 2

Important: they're all 16 here, and everything that happened in the show is canon expect it happened when they were 15 and Buffy and Marty never talked after Andi's party. (Right now it's a few weeks after season 2 episode 5)

"So, what exactly are we going to do?" Buffy asked TJ the next day when they sat on a bench outside the cafeteria

"Well... We're going to pretend we're dating." TJ replied matter of factly

Buffy rolled her eyes "yeah, no shit, dumbass. I meant, how are we going to convince people we're dating?"

"Oh." TJ blinked "well, I already started convincing people yesterday. I told Jason I think you're hot and that I think you're into me too, and he said he'll tell the other teammates so they won't ask you out. So that means the entire basketball team knows, and Ralph dating Tiffany, which means he'll tell her soon- if he haven't already- and she'll tell her friends and bam! The entire school knows."

Tiffany Stein was one of those popular girls who gossip about literally everything possible.

There's a new couple? She's the first one to know. A couple that just broke up? She witnessed the break up. One of the students is secretly gay? The moment he's out, he's out to the entire school thanks to her. Including teachers.

The teachers at Grant high will deny it, but they listen to every gossip coming out of Tiffany's mouth. Some of the gossip, was even about them.

And the gossip was always true. It wasn't just false rumours. Tiffany had eyes and ears everywhere. She had so many sources, no one knew who they even were.

But the moment one of her sources found out something they were hundred percent sure was true, they immediately told Tiffany who told the entire school.

And what her sources didn't found out for her- she witnessed herself.

And Ralph always told Tiffany everything he knew. So it was safe to say everyone in the school will know soon.

Buffy nodded, like she agreed it was a smart thing to do.

"Ok, that's good. So we're good with the school knowing. So the big problem right now is to get my friends to believe we're dating. It might be kinda hard, since they know I hate you- no offense."

"None taken."

"So convincing them will be pretty hard. Any suggestions?"

"Umm..." TJ mind was blank "I guess I didn't think this through."

Buffy looked annoyed "you're kidding, right?"

"I didn't think you'll say yes!" TJ defended himself and then hesitantly added "why did you?"

Buffy looked around to check no one was listening (listening will be pretty hard, considering they were the only people there) and then leaned closer. "You promise you won't tell?"

TJ nodded. He was definitely curious now. "Yeah, totally."

Buffy sighed.

"Ok, so not that long ago, a good friend of mine came out to me. I won't tell you his name since I'm the only person he came out to and he only figured it out very recently- but I promised myself that if I can help someone who's confused and or insecure about their sexuality, then I'll help them. And the first person who needed something sexuality related- turned out to be you! So yeah, I felt obligated to help you."

TJ nodded. That made sense. TJ noted to himself to thank the person who came out to Buffy if he'll ever find out who he is.

Before he could help himself, the next words came out of his mouth:

"Maybe you should set me up with that guy."

He immediately blushed after saying that.

Buffy snorted "it'll kinda ruin the whole 'stay in the closet' thing, don't you think?"

TJ laughed nervously "uh, yeah, I guess you're right. So how are we going to convince your friends?" He changed the subject quickly

Buffy rolled her eyes "nice way to change the subject." He blushed. "It's going to be hard to convince both of them, but Cyrus will be easier to convince. He has this weird belief that people can change and, you know, become a better people. It's stupid, but if I'll tell him I finally listened to all this crap he says about 'people can change' and all that shit, and decided to give you a chance and then fell in love with you or whatever, he'll probably buy it."

TJ nodded. He decided not to mention the fact that Cyrus sounded like a really nice person- and really cute, too.

"But I tell them everything. How come I suddenly have a boyfriend that the last time they heard about him, I completely hated him? Again- no offense." Buffy added

"Again- none taken. How well do they really know you?" TJ asked

"They know my entire schedule. Like, when I have to go to the dentist and stuff." Buffy explained

TJ blinked. "Your friends knows when you're going to the dentist?"

Buffy sighed. "We're really close."

"Yeah, I'm starting to get that." TJ nodded slowly "ok. I have an idea. What if you'll tell them that because you told them all those bad stuff about me you knew they probably won't approve of me and you really liked me and wanted to see where exactly we stand with our relationship before they start with the whole 'he's not good enough for you' speech."

Buffy blinked. "That is... An actual good idea. How the hell did you came up with it?"

TJ shrugged. Buffy shooked her head.

"Doesn't matter. How did we start talking?"

"Ummm..." TJ tapped his fingers against the table

"I got it!" Buffy called after a few seconds "you came to apologize to me a few weeks ago. Because of Cyrus and his constant talking about forgiving people, I decided to forgive you. We been talking ever since, and then yesterday you asked me out, and I said yes!"

TJ nodded. "Yes! That's good, that's good... We might actually be able to pull this off!"

Buffy shooked her head. "Not might, Kippen, definitely. I'm only playing for win. When I'm in on something, I'm in all the way."

TJ couldn't help but smile at Buffy's confident and adore it.

"Ok. Definitely going to pull this off. Definitely." TJ said as he extended his hand for Buffy to shook it. She did.

"That's not the beginning of some awesome friendship, Kippen." She warned

"I'm well aware of that." He nodded

It was the beginning of hopefully successful fake relationship.
