Hi I have returned to the cartoon section and I bring with me a new recess story, of course about Spinelli and TJ getting together.
This time I'm going re-write the end of the episode, in which its parents evening for their class and Spinelli doesn't want her parents to come and she pays some people to pretend to be her mom and dad. Do you know the one I mean? It's the one where at the end her parents really are spies. Well if you haven't seen it, e-mail me and I'll explain it in more detail.
~*~*~*~*~ = a different scene.
' Italic ' = thoughts.
"…" = speech.
Please feel free to R&R!
I hope you enjoy, thanx!
I'm going to start it off where her real mom and dad walk in saying they found her letter, blah, blah, blah.
P.S ~ sorry if the wording isn't exactly right, I only watched this episode today and already I have forgotten most of the conversations they all share. Lol, old age! At 15 as well!
I'm going to write Mr and Mrs. Spin instead of Mr and Mrs. Spinelli because I kept reading it wrong ok.
…
"Oooh pumpkin, these must be your little friends. Now let's see?" Mrs. Spin looked round curiously at the 5 friends all a little shocked at finally meeting Spinelli's parents.
"This must be Mickey…" Mrs. Spin said looking straight at Mikey. "…And this must be Vance…" She looked down at Vince, "…And this must be Gretel…" She looks across to Gretchen, "…and this must be Rus…" She looks down at Gus, "…and this must be BJ,"
She turned a little more towards her husband as if to tell him a secret but just can't resist letting them all know. When she continues speaking her voice is softer and more emotional, "he's the one who our baby's got a crush on."
"MOM! NO!" Spinelli screamed, horror struck at her best kept secret let lose by her own mother.
'I got to get out of here!' Spinelli thought looking around the room so as to find the quickest way away from her friends and family. 'The window! No, it'll take to long to open with all the locks.' Spinelli wasn't thinking straight, her mind was screaming words towards her mother with could never be repeated in a G certificated story.
Finally through all of her confusion she realise the door across the classroom. Without warning she jumped from her chair, knocking her desk across the floor in front of her, and ran as fast as she could towards the open door, tears starting to stream down her cheeks.
Spinelli ran blind; she couldn't see where she was going with her eyes so glazy from her tears.
'Why do I have to cry? Why now? Why at school? Why in front of TJ?' Spinelli swore at herself for her own emotions that were freely trickling from her now blood shot eyes.
Up a few flights of stairs, around a corner, though a door with an 'Access Restricted!' sign on, not caring now where she was going as long as it was away from them!
Them. The people standing now shocked at this new information they had received from a crazy parent they had never seen or spoken to before, and yet she seemed to know each one of them. Even though she got all their names wrong, she was still quite close.
"Er…" Vince started but couldn't finish. He was still guessing between either he's loosing his hearing and Mrs. Spin actually said something else or this was one mixed up dream he was having.
Though the latter did seem a bit more realistic he still couldn't shake the feeling that he knew he wasn't dream and that he knows he cant be going deaf, otherwise why would she run away all embarrassed if it wasn't true?
Vince looked down at his best buddy, TJ; he looked just as shocked and confused as himself, maybe a little more, since it was about him.
"Well, we better go find Ashley; she's properly in a foul mood now. I wouldn't know why, what did I say that was so bad?" Mrs. Spin finally broke the growing silence, looking round at her husband, who just gave a small shrug in reply.
"Actually Mrs. Spin if I'm not mistaken which I most often not, I believe that you just told us all one of Spinelli's deepest secrets. And she is now worrying that her tough reputation will be ruined if anyone else finds out." Gretchen replied in her matter-of-fact tone of voice, which annoyed Mrs. Spin.
"What do you mean told one of my baby's secrets? Don't any of you know that she likes BJ?" she shot back pointing at TJ, who looked as if he was in a world of his own, deep in thought, with his eye brows narrowed as if he's working out a very hard maths sum .
"Er…No…" Gus answered after no one would offer their reply.
"Oh dear…well…do you think we should go find her?" Mrs. Spin directed her question towards Gretchen.
"No, I believe that she will feel even more embarrassed if we go looking for her. She will come back when she's cooled down, she's properly very angry right now."
"You're properly right." She signed sadly at her own doings.
"Well, I guess we should just wait for her. Come on dear we can go talk to Ashley's teacher." Mr. Spin said gently guiding his wife towards Grokey (Probably spelt wrong.)
A long silence settled on the remaining 5 friends, all lost in their own thoughts of what they just experienced.
Gus was the first to brake the silence that was now becoming uncomfortable; "I better go back to my parents they properly want to check through my school work." Gus felt a little uncomfortable leaving his friends like this but he knew his dad was expecting to see what good work he had done this year. He slowly walked towards his mom and dad who were now walking away from just talking to Mrs. Grokey.
"I also better get back to my parents. See you guys later." And with that Mickey returned to his parents.
Gretchen followed shortly after, going to sit quietly with her mom and dad.
Vince awkwardly jumped from foot to foot unsure of weather to stay with his best buddy for moral support or also go and join his parents.
"You can go if you want." TJ bluntly said, although it sounded more like a demand.
"Er…are you ok man?" Vince asked, delaying his decision with more time.
"Yeah, I'm fine." TJ answered staring straight ahead, thought now actually looking at anything in particular.
Instead he was thinking of a certain fellow 4th grader. A certain fellow 4th grader who happens to be one of his best girl mates. Yes you guessed it…he's thinking of Spinelli.
"I'll see you later man." Vince pat TJ brotherly on his back before walking back to join his mom and dad.
TJ hardly noticed Vince leave he was still to shocked at what he had just heard to really care what else was going on around him.
'Spinelli can't have said that! I mean its Spinelli for Pete's sack! She doesn't fancy me! She can't fancy me! That would be just too…to…'
Tj's thoughts were not finished as his legs walked his body out of the classroom and were making their way around the school, sub-consciously knowing where he was walking, and yet he had no clue where he was heading.
Tj's mind was racing a mile-a-minute; he was thinking of the way Spinelli had acted to her mothers words, thinking of what he will say to her once he finds her, which he knew he must and no-one else. He has to be the first one to speak to her, to comfort her, tell her its all okay, tell her reputation will not be tarnished by this little incident.
But mainly he wanted to her a secret of his own, which until now he never knew existed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hey, where's TJ?" Vince called over to Mikey, who was also searching the room in vain.
"I don't know, maybe he went to the toilet or something." Mikey offered back.
"Yeah, probably." This seemed like a reasonable enough explanation for TJ's absence.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
TJ's mind was still racing as his feet took him up a few flights of stairs, around a corner, then through a door with an 'Access Restricted!' sign on the front.
'I can't believe I just thought that! How could I think like that? That's just crazy thinking! I do not…I can't…I couldn't…maybe…'
TJ's train of thoughts was brought to a halt at the sound of sobbing that filled his ears.
'Spinelli!'
