Big Cliffy Meanie1: I thought TJ and Spinelli would react like this when they go swimming. Thanks for the compliment and enjoy the chapter :)

Gretchen, seeing that Spinelli was uncomfortable, spoke up.

"Let's go swimming."

The gang nodded in agreement and made their way in the direction of the outdoor pool. Spinelli walked slightly behind the rest of the group. TJ noticed this and fell in step with her.

"Spin." TJ asked trying to get her attention.

"Yeah?" Spinelli stopped walking.

"You don't have to worry, you look really good in this." TJ reassured her. He took her chin in his hands to make her look at him.

"Um... thanks TJ." Spinelli blushed at the compliment.

"Come on let's go." TJ took her hand in his and they jumped in the pool.

Spinelli forgot everything about her insecureness after TJ had spoken to her and the gang had fun till...

"Look who we have here." A voice interrupted the fun.

"What do you want Lawson?" Spinelli asked annoyed.

"Can't I go swimming?"

"You can, but not where we are." TJ stated.

"If this isn't Detweiler." Lawson turned to TJ.

"Just leave Lawson." Vince spoke up.

Lawson was about to argue when his eyes landed on Spinelli.

"I see you developed quiet nicely Spinelli. Who would have thought that." He smirked while checking her out.

"What did you just say you looser?" Spinelli got angry.

"Are you mad at me for checking you out?" Lawson mocked.

"You-" Spinelli was about to give him a piece of her mind when she got interrupted.

"Leave her alone Lawson." TJ stated angrily. He had enough of guys checking out Spinelli or drooling over her.

"What is it to you T Jerk?"

"Stop taking about her like that or we have a problem." TJ had left the water and stood now in front of Lawson.

Spinelli who was still in the pool was speechless. Not only was she noticing how hot TJ looked in his swimming trunks, but he was also standing up for her.

The rest of the gang was as surprised as Spinelli. TJ never acted like that, but then they all knew what TJ felt for Spinelli so they understood his reaction.

"She isn't worth my time anyway." Lawson said, seeing that TJ wasn't someone to back down.

When Lawson left TJ whispered. "She is worth every fight."

He had said it so quietly that only Spinelli heard it, being closest to him.

The rest of the day at the outdoor pool went by uneventfully and the friends didn't mention the accident with Lawson any further.

Spinelli and TJ walked home together that evening. Spinelli's hair was still wet from the pool water and it got really cold outside. When they reached their houses they said good bye to each other and went inside.

Later that night Spinelli felt ill, she must have caught a cold.

'I hope this gets better until tomorrow.' She thought to herself and tried to fall asleep.

A/N: Will Spinelli be able to go to school in the morning or must she stay home? How will TJ react if she isn't around? Please review and tell me what you think :)
