Spinelli sat at the Ashley table picking at the salad in front of her.
Her fellows Ashleys had already finished their lunch and were talking about the hotties of the school while they drank their imported spring water.
She of course was as usual distracted by the only hottie in her opinion, TJ Detweiler.
Ever since they had started high school and TJ had become one of the jocks she had seen the side that she had missed when she'd been growing up with him.
Of course in part she had joined the Ashleys in the hope that TJ would see her as something more then Spinelli who had beaten up nearly every kid in Third street School but more as the Ashley who he'd kissed in fourth grade.
She sighed as she pushed her salad in front of her and got up from her seat.
"Like, Ashley S where are you going?" asked Ashley A.
"I like need a walk. I'll like talk to you guys later." smiled Spinelli waving at the Ashleys before she walked out the canteen.
TJ looked up from his plate as he saw Spinelli walk out the canteen.
He hadn't been able to believe it when She had gone to the Ashleys though according to Gretchen she had had her reasons.
Vince patted him on the shoulder with a sympathetic look; Vince knew what TJ was going through. He was really the only one of the gang who did since he was kind of in the same boat with a crush in the gang of his own.
They were both jock in most sports yet still managed to maintain a fair balance with academics and the odd prank.
Mikey often hung around the art rooms working on his latest pieces of work or would be in the music room with Mrs Jamestown (formally Miss Salamone)(A/N I know I probably spelt her name wrong) practising or in meetings with the school Chaplain.
Gus and Teresa (corn chip girl) would walk around the school, holding hands and making loved up comments that made you feel sick if you were with in ten metres of them.
Gretchen usually hung around the library with some of her friends from the science club or the computer labs looking on web sites about the topics that she was interested in.
TJ sighed, he missed the gang sometimes but they often pulled out from their busy schedules every weekend and sat around Kelso's or around one of their houses talking about their youth and the many events going on through the week.
"Hey Detweiler think fast!" called Lawson who threw a football in his direction.
TJ snapped out his thoughts just in time to catch it before it fell into his chocolate pudding.
"Nice catch Teej!" said Jocko as TJ threw it to him.
TJ looked at the chocolate pudding and sighed, Chocolate pudding had been the old Spinelli favourite, but he some how doubted the new Spinelli would touch the sweet dessert with a ten foot nail file.
"Hey TJ you want to walk and talk?" asked Vince.
TJ smiled appreciatively at his friend as he got to his feet.
