H101- I do not own Recess

Secret love: Chapter 1

I laid on my bed staring at the ceiling, wondering what TJ was doing now. It's normal to me to think about him. I had changed from the tomboy I was on 3rd street. I had matured to become a real girly girl. I was now fairly good-looking, I often caught boys checking me out. This didn't bother me because they knew to keep their distance. There's only one boy for me, and that is TJ Detweiller.

Images filled my head of what it would be like if we were together. The crush I have on him is overwhelming. I believe he feels the same way but my shyness and lack of confidence in myself stops me from admitting the truth, TJ had changed over the years, his physique was more toned. His maturity was obvious, although he was still the old TJ. Wearing his green jacket, white t-shirt, baggy blue jeans, red sneakers and of course his trademark redcap. His piercing blue eyes and his light brown hair poked out from under his cap.

Although his appearance had changed his personality remained the same, he was funny, charming and charismatic. He was able to talk his way out of any situation, he is a born leader and always ready to help at any sign of a trouble. He would always put others before himself.

Across the street TJ was pacing his room, he couldn't get Spinelli out of his head, she had consumed his mind, he was desperately in love with her. Part of him wanted to ask her out, while the other part of him feared the idea of her rejecting him, he could not face rejection. Their special relationship could be destroyed, that was the last thing TJ wanted. Thoughts about the way other boys were looking at her consumed him with jealousy. He knew if he didn't act soon then some other guy would get the girl he wanted so badly.

TJ recalled the day he saw her change from a tough, fearless tomboy into the stunning girl of his dreams. This was after the summer vacation when we returned to school. Spinelli had spent the last few weeks of the holiday with her mother at a beauty spar. We laughed uncontrollably as this was probably the last place on earth we thought she would enjoy. The change was drastic, her hair was silky and straighter, her face was glorious. Her clothes were far more feminine they enhanced her features, she was stunning.

Although she spent most of her childhood acting tough, she now seemed calmer and almost serene. Her personality was one of kindness and compassion, even if she tried to hide it, but I always knew she had a sensitive side despite her earlier persona. I wanted her just for myself and couldn't be without her. With that last thought I realised now was the time, it was now or never. I grabbed my jacket and ran down the stairs, just as I was going through the door my dad shouted, "Where are you going, not Spinelli's again, don't you ever leave her alone." he asked in a calm way.

"No!" I cried as the door closed behind me, once I had put on my jacket I ran to spinelli's house which was only down the street. I climbed up the tree that was next to her house which was in-front of her window. There was no going back for me, and with a pounding heart I knocked on the glass window.

Knock! Knock! Knock!
