Donna nnov: To answer your question, I would say no for two reasons. One is because their just kids here, he doesn't realize what he's saying and how that might affect Chauncey. I mean he's just a kid. And two would be that he really did think it was cute at the moment.
RandallXSpinelli: He doesn't really love TJ as much as he likes him. I don't think that kids at this age can be in as much love as they sometimes claim they are. And he does have a lot of pride doesn't he? We'll just have to fix that. Sam only acted that way because Chauncey cannot defend himself and he's like a little brother to her so she's going to protect him the way she sees fit. Man that was a lot to say…..
Read on!
When Wednesday rolled around, TJ found himself sitting on the floor of Dr. Million's office. The only difference between today and Monday was that his friends, minus Sam and Chauncey, were there as well. Today was meant to be group therapy and each of them, according to Dr. Million, was supposed to sort through any grievances, sadness, or other problems that has arisen after the Prickly fiasco. TJ however, wasn't saying much or even paying attention. No, he was busy in his own thoughts.
Those thoughts mostly involved what happened yesterday with Chauncey.
It was such a sudden thing when he had called Chauncey's new lisp cute. He hadn't planned to, it just slipped out. He also noticed when Chauncey blushed when he said thanks. He wondered why him blushing stuck in his head so much. It wasn't like it was an uncommon thing for people to do; they do it all the time. But on Chauncey, it looked cuter. Along with the blushing and lisp, his blonde curls, dimples, and chubby cheeks, he could say that the guy looked adorable.
'Where did that come from,' He asked himself. 'I think Chauncey's adorable?'
His thoughts soon returned to yesterday, just before Chauncey left for home. He remembered that just as Chauncey stepped out of his backyard he had turned around and said that he thought his freckles with his brown hair was cute, and then he left. He found it hard to stop smiling for a while after that. Even at the thought of what Chauncey said made him smile.
"Do you have anything to say, TJ?" Dr. Million asked him.
"Huh?"
"You're smiling. Is there any reason you're smiling?"
"No," He lied. "Not really. I haven't been paying attention. What are we talking about?"
"Spinelli here brought up that your friends felt sort of betrayed because you didn't tell them that this was happening," Dr. Million explained. "How does that make you feel?"
"I guess they can feel like that," Said TJ. "But I did what I thought was right and I'm not apologizing for that."
"But you said if it was us, you would tell," Gus stated.
"Prickly wouldn't have done this to you guys," Said TJ. "He picked me for a reason."
"And what reason would that be, TJ?" asked Dr. Million.
"He knew that I would be willing to go through this to protect them," He explained. "And that they would come to me if it happened to them and that I would tell. So it made more sense to target me. That and he preferred boys to girls."
"Did he tell you this?"
"No, but I figured that would be why." Dr. Million nodded. "Can you all agree to tell each other if anything serious happens to you?" They all nodded. "Good. Now, I want to talk about what you were thinking about, TJ. When you were smiling."
"I-it was nothing," Said TJ.
"Was it really?"
"I was thinking about my other friends."
"That would be Sam and Chauncey correct?" TJ nodded. "Have you all met them?" He asked the others.
"We've met them when TJ decide to tell us everything," Said Gretchen.
"Do you get along with them?"
"I don't like the girl," Spinelli said. "She thinks she can fight me! Like that'll ever happen!"
"That's because you snapped at Chauncey," TJ told him. "She and Chauncey are really close and if you snap at him she's gonna defend him. Most of the time she just has a smart mouth."
"And what about Chauncey?" Dr. Million asked.
"He seemed really shy," said Mikey,
"He didn't say much to any of us," Said Vince. "Just to TJ and Sam."
"Is that true?" Dr. Million asked, writing on his clipboard.
"Yeah," TJ said. "We just get along better. I don't know why he's so shy around you all. I'll ask him about it when I see him tomorrow, okay?"
"That's a good idea. Now our time is up," Dr. Million told them. "But this weekend I want you all to have a sleepover, it doesn't matter at whose house, and I want you all to try and act like you all did before all of this. If for any reason it feels odd, I want you all to write that down, and bring it to the next group session on Wednesday." They all left, agreeing to sleep over at TJ's house on Saturday.
