Chapter 1 - Beggining

"BRIIIIIIIIING" - T.J. slammed his hand down over his alarm clock and groaned. He pulled the sheets down from his face and tilted his head so he could look at the time on his clock.

7:00

He rolled back over and pulled the sheets back over him.

"10 more minutes"

BANG! T.J.'s door slammed open and his older sister stepped through the door. Without saying a word she ripped the covers off him and walked away.

"Becky! What the hell!"

"Last day of school, Mum sent me up to get you. Hurry up!" She snapped at him. She looked him over again and sighed. "idiot" she thought and slammed the door shut.

T.J got up and walked into his bathroom to get ready for school. 'The last day of school! Thank god.' His first year of high school was finally over. Next year he would be a sophomore, but more important as of 3 pm today he would be free to spend the summer as he wished.

He stepped out of the shower and look at himself in the mirror. He had certainly changed. He had lost all that puppy fat and now stood about 6"1. Over the years T.J developed a love of soccer [ Soccer will always be football. Just making it clear so there is no confusion]He had to do regular weight training because of it he had developed a body which most women drooled over. He was everyone's favourite person. Weather you were a student, a teacher or the principal the charm of the prankster prince never wore off.

It wasn't just him, the whole gang had changed as well. Mickey had never lost his artistic side and always had a poem ready for every occasion. He stood about 6"5 and was still as large as always. The gentle giant would never hurt a fly, he now acted as a supervisor for the younger kids and was always the first to volunteer for anything and everything.

Gretchen remained the same over the years. No one thought she could get smarter than she already was, they were wrong. She corrected most teachers. During middle school Gretchen found an athletic side. She was now 6"2 and because of her height she played on the schools volleyball team and was quiet good.

Gus probably changed the least over time He got a bit taller standing at about 5"8. He managed to find an academic side. Although no one could ever catch Gretchen, Gus came in close second. He learned to stand up for himself. With his new obtained smarts he could outwit a bully any which way he wanted. However he was always the victim regardless.

Vince never changed. He got taller, standing at about 6"7 and was the star of the basketball team. He began training at the gym in middle school so he developed quiet a body during that time. The girls went crazy over him, but he never showed any interest. Through middle and high school Vince never managed to date a single person.

[Left Spinelli out on purpose]

T.J's POV

I wrapped a towel around my waist and stepped out of my bathroom. Luckily my parents thought of installing one when I got older. I opened my closest and I pulled on my usual clothes. Blue jeans, white shirt and my black shoes (vans)

I pulled on my jeans and walked over to my desk to see what the time was.

7:45

'shit what was I doing in there?' I thought to myself.

"Looking good Mr. Detweiler!" I heard someone yell behind me. I jumped about 2 feet in the air and spun around, holding my deodorant can at the ready.

There she was. Ashley Spinelli. My best friend sitting on the ledge of tree outside my window. I blushed and pulled my shirt on before I opened the window to let her in. I turned around and looked at myself in the mirror pretending to mess up my hair, whilst I was actually looking at Spinelli as she sat on my bed.

"Jesus Spin! try not to give me a heart attack every time you come over."

"DAMN!" was the only word I could think of. The Gang all changed over the years, but no one as much as Spinelli. She was still tough on the outside and would beat the hell out of anyway anytime she wanted. She had grown up as well, Standing 5"3. She had developed curves in all the right places, her raven black hair was down to the middle of her back, and she had a fringe styled to one side of her face. She had no need for makeup, her olive skin was flawless. Spinelli had also changed her wardrobe since the 4th grade. She traded in her red dress for black skinny jeans with a red tank top, underneath her tank top she wore a white long sleeve shirt, with a hood.

I looked down, pretending to look for my wallet. 'I wish I could tell her how I felt. She has been my best friend for as long as I could remember. As for how long I have been in love with her? I think I'd lost count of the years. Damn! Why did she have to get hot. Now all the guys are going to want her..'

I sort of just let my thoughts run without thinking until I was brought back to reality when something smacked me in the head.

I looked down to see my wallet on my floor and Spin laughing

"That what you were looking for?"

Spielli's Pov

"7:45! What is he doing. He knows we have to be at school at 8:15" I paced up and down in front of T.J's house. I looked up at his window.

"Crap!" I sighed.

'I'm going to have to climb up there aren't I'. I wouldn't have minded any other day but today I was in a bad mood. I came home last night and I found out my mother had thrown away all my clothes and replaced them these. I motioned to my skinny jeans and tank top. It was then I realised there was no one else around

"screw it!" I started climbing the tree. I made it to the ledge outside T.J's room and I saw something i would never expect to see. T.J was standing in his room in just his jeans. I felt my face suddenly get hot.

"Wow!" I mouthed. I knew T.J had been working out I never knew that would be it. I don't but I suddenly had the urge to bite something, and I really wanted that something to be T.J.

"Looking good Mr. Detweiler!" I shouted, without thinking. After hearing me T.J humped about 5 feet and turned around ready to give his attacker a spray of deodorant. I laughed and motion him to open the door.

He let me in and I went and sat on his bed.

"Jesus Spin! try not to give me a heart attack every time you come over." He said have laughing.

I only smiled and look down at the ground. T.J put on white t-shirt.

'To bad' my eyes widen as I went over what I just said in my head. 'wait did I really think that! come on Spin he is your best friend. Not someone to stare at. I looked up and T.J. was styling his hair in the mirror. I could have swore I saw his eyes dart over to me. Was he checking me out?'

'mental note! thank mum for the wardrobe.'

He wasn't checking me, I needed to get my head straight.

'Remember Spin! BEST FRIEND, Not Boy friend, He is your BEST Boyfriend. DAMN IT!"

I looked over at TJ. Luckily he hadn't noticed my inner monologue. He was looking for something.

I looked down and saw his wallet. Before thinking I picked it up and chucked it at him.

It hit him square in the head.

End POV's

"Are you ready yet?" Spinelli wailed as she fell back on T.J bed. T.J came back out wearing a black jacket, he traded in his green one for this one when he entered middle school.

"yea! I just need breakfast.." T.J began to say when Spinelli groaned. He tossed her the keys to his car. "..Ill grab some toast and ill meet you in the car"

Spinelli smiled, got up and walked to the window sill. she jumped to the branch and swung to the bottom. T.J watched her go.

'All those years of gymnastics come in handy' he smiled and left his room.

[I don't know how school works in the US so I am just using my best understanding of it]

6th period. Chemistry.

T.J sat in the back of Chemistry class waiting for the bell to ring. Fifteen more minutes and he was free. Chemistry was one of T.J's best classes, partly because he had the whole gang, minus Mickey, in it.

Today he was paired with Gretchen. His attention however was over at the fiery brunette who was arguing with her partner, Lawson, over what he had put in the mixture.

"I know Lawson is good looking T.J but staring at him all day won't get him to notice you" The tall red head spoke up in laughter. T.J frowned at her

"I'd like to go smash him in the face" T.J clenched his fists and glared at Lawson. Gretchen seeing this grabbed T.J's face and looked him straight in the eye.

"Just because the soccer and football teams have a rivalry doesn't mean you should get caught in it"

Gretchen let go of his face and went back to writing up her notes.

"I am not in the middle of it!"

"Then why did you get into a fight with BJ two weeks ago?"

T.J had no answer. He was the varsity soccer team and since he joined they were neck and neck with the football team in terms of popularity and both teams wanted to prove they were better. Lawson was the quarterback and although T.J wasn't captain Lawson still picked on him. Although Lawson was in the grade above he had to repeat this course again cause he did so poorly last year. T.J was the youngest member of the school soccer team. Which made the easy target. Although he has protection.

"Well class!" the whole class raised their heads and as their teachers Mr. Mines pulled them back to reality.

"we have five minutes left of the school year. I want congratulate everyone on a year's well done. Before we go I want to remind everyone who signed up for Biochem next year to pick the syllabus on your way out. You have to start preparing two weeks before the course starts.." BRIIIIIIIING"

"..have a good holiday guys!"

3:30pm

The gang stood around their lockers, all conveniently located near each other. Vince was dressed in black jeans with a dark blue basketball jersey over a white shirt. Mickey was wearing baggy blue jeans and a caramel coloured shirt, Gus wore a camouflage shirt and grey jeans. Gretchen stood in her p.e uniform, she had volleyball training after school.

"What are you guys up to this summer? Three months off I don't know what to do with the time." Gus said, throwing his back over his shoulders. The gang discussed their plans for the summer as they walked towards the exit of the school. T.J zoned out. thinking back to the conversation he had with his parents.

FLASHBACK

TJ ran down the stairs and into the kitchen where his parents were getting ready for work. His sister Becky was at the table smiling at him.

"what?" he asked, as he grabbed a few pieces of toast off the pile.

"nothing!" she smiled and walked away.

"Spinelli is waiting in the car, got to go guys. See you after school."

"T.J wait!" his dad said, slowly standing up and walking over to T.J

"yea dad?" he asked confused.

"we need to have a talk when you get back from school?" T.J had seen his dad serious before but this was on a whole new level.

"Everything alright dad?" T.J questioned.

"we'll talk when you get home from school"

A loud honk came from outside.

"Ashley is waiting for you" His dad looked almost sad.

"Earth to T.J!" Gus yelled, he gave T.J a push in the back. T.J stumbled and turned around to face guy

"What the hell man?" he yelled

"Sorry T.J just trying to get your attention"

"What?" T.J answered confused. He looked around to see all his friends staring at him.

"Man you've been out of it since Chem class" Spinelli piped up. T.J turned his head to her and blushed. She was looking up at him with those deep brown eyes. He couldn't resist blushing. He quickly took a step back and leant up against the railings of the stairs.

'She's your best friend. Pull it together man!'

"Everything ok teej?" she took a step closer and stood next to him. The gang waited curiously for an answer.

"Yea. Dad just said he wanted to talk to me. It sounded serious." he rubbed the back of his neck and ran his hand through his hair.

"Guess I better go see what they want, see you later guys. "

T.J and Spinelli bid their farewells to the gang and walked over to T.J's car.

The two didn't say anything to the other the entire ride back from school.

T.J POV.

I kept both my hands on the steering wheel. We hadn't said anything to each other since we left school. I glanced over at her. She was looking out the open window. Her raven black hair blowing gracefully in the wind. How I wish I could tell her exactly how I felt. I was in love with my best friend. So what? it happens all the time. Hang on? is she blushing?

I sighed and continued to stare out at the road.

End POV.

Spinelli's POV

I looked over at T.J and his knuckles where white as his gripped the steering wheel. Something was going on inside his head. Probably not the same thing going on inside my head. WHY? Why did I have to be in love with my best friend. Not to mention one of the most popular guys in school and hottest.

I noticed T.J looking at me all through Chemistry but he looked angry. Probably at Lawson. Douche.

I should say something, shouldn't I? I want to comfort him, but how? I know maybe when he stops the car I can pushed myself into the driver's seat and kiss him. A few hours of making out in his lap ought to get him thinking of other things. NO! What am I thinking. Oh great now I am smiling and blushing. Quick! look away!

End POV.

T.J pulled up to Spinellis house. Spinelli got out and leaned into the window. She smiled at her best friend.

"Hope everything is ok at home Teej, text me and let me know."

"T.J relaxed and smiled at his best friend and nodded. She turned and walked towards her house. He waited until she was inside before he drove two house down and parked in his driveway.

"Now or never!" he sighed as he got out of his car and walk to his house.

[I know this is a long chapter so bare with me guys]

T.J walked up his drive way. His attention was instantly grabbed by a shining black motorcycle parked near the side of his house. There was a jacket draped over the bike with a helmet locked to the on the steering.

'Whose is that' T.J thought to himself.

T.J opened the door of his house.

"Dad! Mum! I'm ho.." T.J was cut off as he turned around. He was shocked looking at the man that stood in front of him.

"Hello T.J, welcome home." His father was the first one to speak. T.J dumped his bag in the corner and joined his parents in the living room.

"T.J this is Jayce." T.J walked over and shook his hand. He looked the man up and down. He had to be around twenty five. He wore black jeans and a white shirt covered with a grey hoodie. He had messy brown hair and bright green eyes. He smiled as he shook T.J hand.

"Nice to meet you T.J"

"You too, are you a friend of my parents?"

"not exactly...you see.." Jayce took a quick glance over at Mr and Mrs. Detweiler. They nodded.

T.J looked from his parents to Jayce sitting on his couch.

"mum? dad?" he questioned. However it was Jayce who answered.

"you see T.J. I am your older brother"

Well that's my first chapter done. It might be a little long and weird but I promise it gets better. I think it was mentioned that TJ had a brother in the series. I would like to clarify this one is different so guys bare with me. I will try to upload as quickly as I can.

Please read and review.

I'd love to know your thoughts and ideas for future chapters.

Should I bring in my own characters or keep the originals.
