A/N: just heard this song on my itunes and so had to write a fic about it
bc I am a crazy insomniac with nothing better to do. Please r/r.
He was a boy
She was a girl
Can I make it any more obvious
He was a punk
She did ballet
What more can I say
He wanted her
She'd never tell secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends
Stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes
In high school TJ Detweiler had the biggest crush on the most popular
girl in school, Ashley Armbruster. She was the pretty, popular type guys
like him-the skater types devoted to making music-- had no chance of ever
being with. Ashley was into ballet and other girly activities and spent
more time trying to improve her appearance than anything else. But little
did TJ know that Ashley really did have a thing for him, she actually had a
major crush on him-he was the kind of rebellious boy she always wanted to
date. However, she was an Ashley and they made it a rule to only date the
popular jocks. Guys like TJ that wore baggy clothes and had body piercings
were a major no-no in Ashley world. (A/N: I really have no idea about
skater boys and how they dress, I'm so out of the loop, so I'm making this
up) So she snubbed him along with the other Ashleys, and completely
embarrassed him when he found the courage to ask him out.
He was a skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth
"Um, Ashley A.?" TJ swallowed nervously as he stared at his feet,
trying to find the courage to ask out the school Homecoming Queen.
"What do you want, you freak?" she asked, flipping her perfect blonde
hair over her shoulders. She looked at her fellow Ashleys and rolled her
eyes.
"I was wondering, do you want to see a movie tonight? The new Matrix
movie is out and I heard you want to see it." TJ stuttered, his face
turning a shade of pale pink.
"Ew, get away from me, loser, go back with Spin-ugly, you two will be
the perfect couple one day." She laughed loudly, her voice ringing loud
enough for the whole cafeteria to hear, which caused them to laugh along
with her.
TJ walked away and sat down next to his best friend Spinelli, who put
a comforting arm around him and whispered something to him that made him
smile slightly. Ashley laughed again, "Me and TJ? As if," she thought.
5 years from now
She sits at home
Feeding the baby she's all alone
She turns on tv
Guess who she sees
Skater boy rockin up MTV
She calls up her friends
They already know
And they've all got
Tickets to see his show
She tags along
Stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down
***FIVE YEARS LATER***
Ashley A sighed. "Come on, Crystal, eat," she begged, talking to her
eight month old baby. She wiped some baby food off her shirt and sat down.
Being a single mom at nineteen was no easy task, especially when Menlo, the
baby's father, left her once he found out she was pregnant. He claimed he
had no responsibility and went off to pursue his education at Yale.
Flipping on the TV, Ashley channel surfed until she came to MTV. Stopping,
she began singing along to the music and dancing around her kitchen, making
baby Crystal laugh.
"I wonder who sings that," she thought as the video ended. Looking at
the screen, she gasped. "Oh, my God,' she thought picking up the phone and
calling her fellow Ashleys
"You guys, Detweiler's a big time singer now on MTV. I just saw his
video!" Ashley exclaimed.
"We know, we are going to his concert, you game?" Ashley Q. asked.
"Sure, give me an hour." After changing and dropping the baby off at
her mother's, Ashley and her friends went to the concert. TJ looked so
amazing, his chestnut hair spiked so perfectly, and Ashley could tell he
had been working out, because his arms were so buff and when he threw his
shirt at the audience, she could tell he had a six-pack. "Man, am I an
idiot,' she thought, wishing she had said yes to him all those years ago.
He was a skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slamming on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
He was a skater boy

"Man, just because he was a little different, I had to be a snob and
turn him down. I should have gone out with him." Ashley thought as she got
ready for bed that night. "He's a big timer now, all the magazines say he's
engaged to the love of his life, he has a multiplatinum CD,TRL appearances,
Grammy nominations, and what am I, a single teen mom supporting my kid on
my cocktail waitressing job. (a/n: no offense again, not very creative to
think of another job right now) It is all I am experienced at. If I had
been with TJ, I wouldn't be in this situation, I'd be a big timer too."
Ashley crawled into bed, still thinking about TJ. "Girl, he is great, and
you are a first class moron," she thought as she drifted off to sleep.
Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see,
See the man that boy could be
There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
He's just a boy
And I'm just a girl
Can I make it any more obvious
We are in love
Haven't you heard
How we rock each others world
A week later Ashley was glued to the TV when TJ made yet another TRL
appearance. This time, however, he wasn't alone.
"Yes, and here I am with my beautiful fiancée, my songwriter, my
muse. Everybody, this is the future Mrs. Detweiler, Ashley Spinelli."
Ashley watched in shock as Spinelli walked onto the stage and kissed TJ.
Gone was the rough and tumble girl from high school. Spinelli was now a
beautiful woman, dressed in a simple black suit and shoes. She took the mic
and began answering the questions she was being asked.
"TJ has been my best friend forever, and I love supporting him. We
are always there for each other and I love him more than anything. People
always saw us as 'punks' or 'skaters,' but in the end we are only human,
and his inner beauty is what made me fall in love with him. To all of you
who couldn't see that, I hope you realize how happy we are now and how
looking beyond the outside of someone led to our wonderful relationship."
Spinelli smiled at the camera. "Sorry," she said, blushing a little. "I
kind of got carried away."
"It's ok, hun," the host smiled at her. "And now, TJ and Spinelli are
going to perform a song they wrote together based on how people saw them in
high school and how it led to who they are today. Take it you two."
I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know
TJ and Spinelli went up to the mic and began singing. The song hit
Ashley right where it hurt and tears began to form in her eyes. She was
wrong. Being popular wouldn't lead to a life of happiness and fortune. It
instead cost her being with a wonderful, rich, famous man that was now
dating her worst enemy. "Why didn't I just say yes,' Ashley said to herself
as she went to take care of her crying baby.
A/N: hope you liked this, my other fics will be updated, I promise, this
was just bugging me and had to get out. R/R, but if you can't say something
nice, don't say it at all. Happy reading!
p.s: I know TJ turning punk is odd, but somehow I can kinda picture it. The
reason, if you want to know, is that he was trying to find himself and
become comfortable in his own skin, and I can't picture any of the other
guys as punks. I know I'm off on the whole punk thing and I hope no one is
offended, if you are I'm sorry!
bc I am a crazy insomniac with nothing better to do. Please r/r.
