Cyrus is a computer geek who has an abnormally large nose. During an ongoing pep rally at the high school, Christian, a new student, spots Roxanne and asks about her, while Cyrus hacks into the school system and disgraces a football jock sending a nude picture to Roxanne. Cyrus is later caught and is given detention in the computer lab. Brownie confronts him about telling Roxy, his longtime crush, how he feels, but Cyrus is insistent on not letting her know how he feels because of his nose. Brownie advises him not to worry about his nose since no one else cares. However, even if he tries to hide behind his bold exterior, Cyrus feels self-conscious about his nose and cares a great deal what other people think.
Roxy calls almost immediately and thanks Cyrus for what he did, then asks that they meet up the next day. She says she wants to tell him something super important. An ecstatic Cyrus thinks she might like him back. He goes to see her the next day. While writing a letter to her (on Brownie's insistence), which he hides immediately upon Roxy's arrival. Roxy tells him she likes someone. Cyrus is hopeful that it may be him, only to be disappointed when Roxy reveals it is Christian, and she is sure he likes her back. Albeit heartbroken, Cyrus agrees to help Roxy.
Cyrus throws the letter he wrote for Roxy into the trash bin. Unbeknown to him, Brownie picks up the letter and slips it into Roxy's locker. At the lunch spot, Cyrus is insulted by Christian, who does this to stop a bully from harassing Cyrus. Cyrus tries to get back at Christian but stops when he is told his name by Lynn. He proceeds to talk to Christian about Roxy. Christian is unsure of how to begin to talk to Roxy, so Cyrus helps.
