Disclaimer: I don't own Recess, or it characters (except the one I created). I also don't "Small Town" by John Mellencamp.

Prologue

"Ashley Funicello Spinelli!"

I stood in line clapping and cheering, along with everyone else as one of my best friends went up to get her diploma from the podium. Seeing her smile as she got her diploma from the principal, showed how much she deserved it. She's kind of had it rough for the past four years, we've all been through that, it's suppose to be part of growing up, but who knew it was gonna that tough.

"Brandon Stevens!"

"Thank You!"

I laughed, along with everyone else, as Brandon walked on stage, got his diploma, and then walked to the microphone and sang "Thank You"; I always wondered why he's usually the one that's singing. Anyway, we had all been through a lot of stuff. We've seen love, break-ups, reconcile, friendship, betrayal, triumph, victory, loss, abuse, family, but not in the same sentence.

"Alex Taylor!"

We've been through so much, I've been so much. I've felt happiness, I've felt sadness, I made friends, I lost friends, I've felt anger, sorrow, remorse, excitment, betrayed, pain. I've seen and been through so much, I've also been shot, but that's another story.

"Lawrence Tisby!"

But, when did all of this start? When did people in a town like ours, go through something like this?

"Ashley Tomassian!"

Well I'll you when all of this started, it happened a long time ago when I moved here. Wow, that was so long ago...

Summer 2007

It was the year 2007, and I remember wanting to die so badly that day, why?

"Yeeee-Hawww! Good after mornin to ya favorite DJ on Country 192.6!"

That's why, now some of you think 'what's the matter it's country music?' Well where I'm from, as far as I knew, not many black kids listen to country music, and I was sure as hell not one of them. So when your a 14 year old black kid from Texas moving to Arkansas, with nothing to do, and all you could do was sleep or listen to the radio. But, as you listen to the radio you either think it's broken, or Arkansas only has one radio station, cause all you here is country music! That's when you want to die.

"Yee-haw, now here's "Small Town" by the great John Cougar Mellencamp on Country 192.6! Yee-haw!"

But, since I wasn't tired all I could do was sit in the car, and hope would get to our new house.

(Song Playing)

Well I was born in a small town

And I live in a small town

Probably die in a small town

Oh, those small communities

All my friends are so small town

My parents live in the same small town

My job is so small town

Provides little oppurtunities

Hey!

Man, this song is country, but when I looked out the window, I saw that we were finally there as we passed up a sign that said "Welcome to Thirdstown".

Educated in a small town

Taught to fear Jesus in a small town

Used to day dream in that small town

Another boring romantic that's me

But I've seen it all in a small town

Had myself a ball in a small town

Married a L.A. doll and brought her to this small town

While barely listening to this song, I thought how ironic it was that they would play this song, and for the next four years I'll be... living in a small town.

To anyone who doesn't know Recess one of my favorite shows, hence Invince! So u can rev. or not doesnt matter.
