Hey everyone, hope you like this chapter! Again, sorry I haven't updated in a while – so much homework for the first week! Hopefully, I will update again by the end of this week... thanks for the reviews
Big Cliffie Meanie1: I'm glad you liked the TJ/Spinelli moments in the last chapter and I hope you like the moment in this chapter too! By the way, did you see East Enders? Did you like Ben's return? Apparently he's gonna turn up gay...
Roguelover321: Well you asked for more and here it is!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Recess. Paul and Joe do.
Ashley A POV
"OMG! Like, Ashley A, that is like so brilliant," Ashley B praised me. I mean, how could she not? My plan is brilliant! It's not like she can come up with any good ideas with that dumbass brain of hers. I smirked – Spin-Ugly is soooo going to regret this! I returned to painting Ashley Q's toenails. She really needs a pedicure I thought as I painted her nails a nice orange. Totally compliments her hair colour. At least that draws you away from the fact she hasn't had a pedicure in God knows how long. Uggh. That and her bitchy personality. Not to mention Ashley T. Once, she wore the same outfit twice. Twice. That's a scandal to The Ashley Code. And she's a size 4. The rest of us are a size 2. No wonder boys prefer me – I'm perfect! Daddy thinks so too which is just a bonus.
"Hey Ashley A, like onto the face masks now," Ashley T knocked me out of my thoughts. Bitch. I smiled at her nevertheless and grabbed the ingredients to make the face masks we had prepared earlier. For me; strawberry and yogurt, for Ashley B; apricot and yogurt, for Ashley Q; avocado and for Ashley T; cucumber and yogurt. And of course, like the movies, we had cucumber slices put over our eyes. And now I can relax...

Spinelli's POV
A little bit of blue here. And there. And over there. I was finishing off my art project (counts for 25% of my grade), when my phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey Spin!" Oh it was Teej. He and the guys went home a couple of hours ago.
"Hey Teej. What brings you to the phone at 10:24 in the evening?"
"Oh nothing. I was just wondering if you were alright."
I immediately knew what he was talking about. I rolled my eyes. "Teej, trust me I'm fine. No need to fuss."
"Well, I was well... umm you know... worried coz you know... what she said... and... you know..." TJ said through the phone. It made me blush. Wait, I'm not supposed to blush because of a boy. Not to mention my best guy friend. Thank god he couldn't see me.
"Spinelli? You there?" He asked. I snapped out of my reverie.
"Yes, I'm here. And I'm fine, trust me." I smiled.
"You sure? 'Coz you doing homework usually concerns me."
"Wait WHAT? How do you know I'm doing my homework?"
"Turn around."
"What?" Confused!
"I said, turn around." I heard him chuckling on the other side of the phone.
"I know what you said just why should I turn around? And stop laughing." He stopped laughing at once. That's more like it.
"Just do it." Confused, I turned around, and my eyes widened at what I saw. TJ was standing outside my window, sitting on a branch, at 10:30pm as if it was the most normal thing in the world. He smiled at me and shut the phone. I walked over to the window and opened it, motioning for him to come in.
"You know, if you were a stranger, I'd call you a perv," I told him as he climbed in.
"Gee, thanks Spin – nice to see you too!" he says sarcastically.
"You're lucky you're my best friend or else I'd kick you. Kick you were no guy likes to be kicked." His face went as white as the white paint I was using.
"I'll keep that in mind."
I laughed. "Dude – chill! I was kidding with you!" He relaxed. "Anyways, what are you doing here?"
He shrugged. "Like I said, I was worried about you."
I blushed again and turned away. I breathed in and out. This was so not supposed to be happening. TJ put his hand on my shoulder. "You okay Spin?"
I turned to face him and nodded. I noticed how close our faces were. Shit. "Yeah yeah I'm fine. Why would I not be fine? I mean, I'm always fine. Always. And there's absolutely no reason why I'm not." Great - I was babbling now. Babbling like a girl. And his eyes. Oh My God his eyes. His blue, blue eyes. They just stared in mine as if looking for the truth. I AM SO NOT FINE!
"Are you sure?" He asked me smirking. Smirking? WHY WAS HE SMIRKING?
"Dude – I'm fine. Chill. It's what? 10:40 in the night. I'm probably just tired." Yep lack of sleep. That's what it was.
"Well, if you're sure," TJ said, mockingly. Great, he was mocking me now. He went up real close. "See you tomorrow then." He laughed softly in my face, his breath smelling slightly minty. Yeah – that's how close we were. That's enough to make anyone go crazy.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow," I said, trying to not get lost in his eyes. Did I tell you they were a deep shade of midnight blue? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? I let my bangs cover my eyes and tried not to get lost in his eyes. It failed. I was totally mesmerised. He gently moved the bangs out my eyes and stared into them. And then he was leaning in. My eyes fluttered shut and I leaned in too. Our noses were slightly touching and – BANG!
We jumped and turned towards the door, blushing furiously. Well, I was anyways.
"Oooh what's this? I go upstairs to check if you were sleeping and you're here making out with your little boyfriend here. Nice. Real Nice. Tut tut Ashley, hope you're being safe," Vito said matter of factly. If it was possible, this room got even hotter.
"Huh, funny that Vito, we were not kissing or making out or anything else so you might as well shut your mouth," I corrected that little dirty mind of his. He raised his eyebrows cockily at me. Moron.
"Yeah Vito, honestly we weren't; we were just saying goodbye," TJ added, scratching the back of his neck nervously.
"Uh huh, O.K, I'll take your word for it. But what about mum? I'm sure she'll be real interested in hearing what you have to say," he threatened. Like I said, moron. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Teej going red. Poor guy.
"He's not gonna tell is he?" TJ muttered nervously to me.
"Listen Vito, you tell mum about what you think happened in here and I'll tell her what really happened last week in her room. Now what was that girl's name? Aimee, or Melanie," I retorted, folding my arms in triumph as his face paled. Ha.
"Fine," he said giving in. "Just don't tell, O.K?"
I could see TJ relax physically, his biceps and all. Keep cool. Keep cool. Keep cool, I thought desperately. I smirked at Vito and he gave me the evils and went out, leaving the door open. Idiot. I turned to TJ and addressed to him.
"Sorry about that," I started.
"It's cool," He assured me. Wow awkward silence. I started playing with my fingers. "Well... umm... I guess I umm... should be going," He said. I stopped playing with my fingers and looked at him.
"Yeah I... umm... I'll get the window for you," I agreed. I opened the window for him and a cool breeze swept through the room. I turned to TJ again. "Well umm... I guess I will see you tomorrow."
"Yeah... see you. G'night Spin," He bid me goodbye, smiling at me. Why did my knees feel so weak all of a sudden? I smiled at him and waved my hand as he climbed through the window and onto the branch, me making sure he was safe. He climbed down, bid me one last goodbye and walked back to his house.
WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?

Ashley A POV
I take my eye mask off my face as the rays of sunshine stream into my spacious room. Today would be the start of my plan which would ruin Spin-Ugly and get TJ Detweiler to fall in love with me. Of course he's in love with me – he just doesn't realise it. Or he's playing hard-to-get. Either way, he loves ME not her. I mean, why wouldn't he be in love with me? I'm in love with me too. After all, I am perfect. In fact, I would say I am the most perfect person I know. What a brilliant way of starting the day; reminding myself that I'm perfect and that TJ Detweiler is in love with me – not her. Good, I think I got it now. In love with me, not her. In love with me, not her. In love with me, not her. In love with me, not her.
Poor, poor, poor Spin-Ugly; she has absolutely no idea what's coming to her.
