TJ's POV

Spinelli's POV

Both POV

Memories


"What would TJ do if I showed him the real me?" Ashley A asked sadly looking at her reflection in her drink.

"Huh?"
Ashley A set her hand down close to TJ and leaned over into a crawling position.

At that point the door handle began to turn.

"Would you fall in love with me?"

Tiny footsteps walked across the living room to the bedroom.

"Would you?" Ashley A leaned closer.

Her eyes widened and brightly shined.

"W-Wait just a moment..."sweat dripped off TJ's forehead. "I..."

A clanking sound caught Ashley A's and TJ's attention.

Gretchen waited outside.

She took a sigh and waited patiently. She grabbed her hair and twisted it getting out some of the water. She then smelled underarms before getting bored. She was cold, wet and wanted to go home for a long, hot bath.

"Spinelli?" Gretchen called to Spinelli in the house. "Were they there?"

Spinelli ignored Gretchen's calls. She stared wide eyed at the sight in front of her eyes.

"Spinelli!" Gretchen continued to call.

Ashley A just gave a sex pose, putting her finger to her lips and tried to look all innocent.

"Huh? We're in a bad situation? Maybe my timing was really bad?" She made a sarcastic remark.

TJ sat there in shock, not believing what was happening. His eyes said it all.

"Th-This is not what you think!" He finally spoke.

"SPIN-!"

Hearing Greatchen's voice made him panic and he looked around to see if she was coming.

Spinelli just glared at him.

"-ELL-LI...!"

Spinelli turned her head to the door. "Gretchen!"

TJ stopped breathing. If she called her in, he'd see and he'd never be able to be with her.

"Looks like nobody's here!"

TJ began to breathe but felt confused. Why would Spinelli do that for him?

Gretchen turned round talking to herself. "Just where did they go?"

"My, why are you deceiving her?" Ashley A smirked. Spinelli turned back with a look say that Ashley A was pathetic. "Could it be that...you don't want to accept it?"

Ashley A pushed up on TJ's chest.

He got butterflies in his stomach and froze on the spot awkwardly.

"That he let a girl other than you into his house." Ashley A finished.

"Idi-! Don't say that!" TJ found his voice again.

Spinelli growled into herself.

"Aww, but-"
"No buts! Just tell her the real deal!" TJ ordered.

"Huh? 'The real deal'? No way! TJ, you're so..."
Spinelli heard enough and just walked out of the room.

"H-Hey! Spinelli!" TJ ignored Ashley A and called on Spinelli. "Spinelli!"
Ashley A just smirked evilly to herself and turned to look at the rubbish bag Spinelli left behind.


TJ started to dice to onions but couldn't help but look at Spinelli who lay, slouching on the table.

Willow's cage was also on the table. When TJ looked at her she chirped, "Tut!"

The door opened and Jan walked in.

"Good morning!" She said even you know it was the evening. She saw that Spinelli lay glum on the table. "Huh? Spinelli, did anything happen?"

"No, I don't even have anything anymore." Spinelli mumbled. "I wonder what today's dinner is going to be?"

"We're having rice and curry tonight. You'd like that, wouldn't you?"

"I guess so. Shouldn't you have made chilli con carne instead?"

"What?"

"Right, ugly bird?" Spinelli asked Willow, laughing.

"Hey, Spinelli. About what happened this evening..." TJ began, feeling awkward. "I was just being teased by Ashley A. And, um..."
Spinelli held Willow's cage and had her head on the table.

"Ugly...ugly...ugly..." Spinelli mumbled. Jan leaned down over Spinelli worrying about her.

"It looks like it left a bad impression."

Spinelli continued to say 'Ugly!'

"I'm sorry." TJ apologized.

Spinelli stopped talking and dug her nails into the cage hearing this.

"Exactly what might you be apologizing for?" Spinelli asked. She then began to talk to the bird. "TJ is quite a weird guy, isn't he?"

It was like Willow was having a fit. The bird began to gag and twist its eyes while flapping wings everywhere. After a couple of seconds, it dropped.

"W-Will-ow!" Jan shouted worriedly.

"Hang in there, Willow!" TJ ran to it. "Get a hold of yourself!"

...

As night came, Willow was hung up in TJ's room with her cover over the cage.

TJ lay in his bed in his boxers and looked at the time to realize it wasn't night anymore, but morning.

He ran out onto the balcony with a brush and began to hit the window of Spinelli's apartment.

"Spinelli! Wake up!" He yelled respectively. He looked behind him to see the time and continued to bang the window. "Oh man, it's so late-"
He turned round and gave the brush a harder swing at the window. At that point, Spinelli opened the window, rubbing sleep in her eyes and didn't see the brush heading for her way.

"Wha-" She began to mumble before getting whacked on the head by a brush. She fell backwards in pain.

TJ realizing what he did quickly put the brush away and began to panic about what Spinelli would do to him.

"That hurt!" He heard Spinelli mumble.

"S-Sorry."

"what?" Spinelli used the windowsill to pull herself up.

"I mean, we've overslept!" TJ yelled at her. "Hurry up and get yourself ready as quickly as you can!"

Spinelli began to rub her head and hadn't heard what TJ had said.

"What's for breakfast? Why did you wake me up this way today?"

"There's no breakfast or lunchbox! If we don't leave in five minutes, we'll be late!"

"Nice boxers." Spinelli fell back sleepily on the floor.

TJ just sighed.

...

TJ and Spinelli began sprinting up the lane, dressing as they went.

TJ began to hop while trying to put his trainers on and Spinelli began to run and brush her hair at the same time.

"Come on, if we don't get to the convenience store, we'll have no lunch and if we don't hurry up, we'll be late!" TJ yelled, panting. He turned round to Spinelli. "Hey! Are you listening?"

Spinelli put the hairbrush in her bag and threw a punch at TJ.

"Spin-elli!" TJ growned in pain.

"I'm listening, perverted dog! The convenience store, right?"

"What's up with you? Just because you haven't had any breakf-" Spinelli gave him another punch. "Ow!"

...

The two were at the front of the school by the time the bell went.

TJ and Spinelli finally made it to the classroom.

"Made it!" TJ smiled, panting.

"Ah, he's finally here!" TJ heard a cheery voice. They looked up to see Ashley A smiling at him beside Ashley Q. "Thanks for doing all that you did for me yesterday!" She smiled, innocently.

"No-Uh, um. Yeah!" TJ smiled stupidly. She was wearing a denim mini skirt with a tight, white tank top.

"What's this?" Ashley A smirked at him. "You stunned by my outfit."

Spinelli rolled her eyes. She wore baggy three quarter lengths with a baggy red top. Spinelli felt annoyed with her and marched over to her.

"Just kidding!" Ashley A giggled. Just then, Spinelli swung her school bag round and it hit her in the chest.

"You're blocking traffic, stupid powder puff." Spinelli told her.

"Oh, you were here, Spinelli? Good morning." Ashley A made a sarcastic remark in pain while Ashley Q worried over her.

"Good morning, Ashley A. I see that you're still in heat."

Just then Ashley A screwed her eyes down giving Spinelli a death glare.

"Hey...you two..." TJ tried to calm the anger down.

"Oh, I see. My, how awful. Don't get so jealous over such a trivial matter." Ashley A gave her a smug look. "It was all Spinelli's misunderstanding, after all."

"You're one dumb woman, aren't you?" Spinelli turned with a bored face. "What happened yesterday was just-"
"Forgotten!" Someone shouted behind Spinelli.

Before Spinelli could see who it was, she began to fly in the air to realize someone was holding her up.

"Good morning, everyone!" Gretchen smiled, still holding Spinelli. "Oh! I could tone my upper arms by doing this!" She joked, lifting Spinelli up and down like she was weights.

"Gretchen, don't use me fro a muscle training!"

TJ sighed.

...

"Okay!" Smiled the teacher, clapping her hands. "Tomorrow is our long-awaited pool opening day!"

Suddenly there was a swarm of moans from the class.

"I'll explain the important points now."

The only one that seemed happy was Gus as he knew the girls would be in tight swimming suits. Spinelli however was mortified.

Summer is the season for love. The final chance of my twenties! The teacher thought.

She began to write rules up on the board when she heard the girls complain.

"Oh no, my stomach..."
"And my thighs..."
"My upper arms are even worse!"

What the hell are you lot saying? Just being young is enough, for crying out loud! The teacher grew confused

"Really? Swimming classes at this school are co-ed?" Asked Ashley A. "Oh no, that's so embarrassing."

Suddenly, the chalk the teacher wrote with snapped.

Why worry? You're super cute. And you're a model too! What's so embarrassing, huh?

HUH? What is? Huh? What is, huh? WHAT IS SO EMBARRASSING, HUH! She was now very, very angry.

"Miss, that's about it for homeroom!" A pupil shouted at the teacher.

"ALL RIGHT!" The teacher screamed. "Rise!"

Spinelli still sat, panicking. Her head was in her hands and she was dying inside.

...

"Spinelli, come on!" Gretchen shouted walking around the bathing suit store.

"No way! I don't need to buy a swimsuit!" Spinelli shouted at Gretchen.

"Since last year's has already gone rotten, it can't be helped!"

TJ had Spinelli right hand and Grethcne her left and the two were dragging her but Spinelli tried to pull back.

"You've got to wash and dry swimsuits right away after all!" TJ informed her.

"I said I don't wanna! And why is THAT here?" Spinelli pointed past the two after they all stopped pulling away away from each other.

Gretchen and TJ turned their heads round to see Ashley A. She turned and gave them a feisty smile.

"Because this is the only shop that sells swimsuits." Ashley A smiled.

Spinelli glared at TJ, tightening her fists and TJ flinched backwards.

"I never invited her!" TJ argued back.

"Hey, hey!"

Gretchen, TJ and Spinelli looked at her. Ashley A lifted up a 'Hello Kitty' swimsuit for a three year old.

"Wouldn't Spinelli look great in this?"

Spinelli began to boil. Her face was bright red and it was like steam was coming out of her ears and it was like her eyes was burning.

"Actually, it would fit her way too well!"

"Calm down, Spinelli! We're in public!" TJ shouted at her.

...

Everywhere they looked there as bikini's. Red ones, blue ones, spotted, strippy, large, small, very revealing and hardly revealing. Some were for sale and some weren't.

The rule was to get a navy oor black swimsuit. No bikini's or anything too revealing.

"TJ, what do you think about this one?" Gretchen stared in the mirror swapping round navy and black swimsuit.

TJ just stared at her reflection in the mirror, blushing imagining her in it.

"U-Ummmmm... I-It'd l-look g-great on y-you-"

"Hey!" They heard a voice. "How's this?"

Gretchen dropped her swimsuits and her jaw and TJ's jaw dropped.

Ashley A stood in front of them in a navy swimsuit that stuck to every curve on her body.

"It's not weird, right? It's not too conspicuous, right?" Ashley posed in a sexy pose. She knew she looked good and wanted to brag.

"What's up with the length of those legs? You're being really conspicuous!" Gretchen yelled at her.

"Oh, really? I even went and picked a plain swimsuit too..."

Gretchen grabbed Ashley A's hand. "A-Ashley A! Which brand is that swimsuit? Where did you find it?"

"Over there!" Ashley A pointed ahead. "You want to get matching ones?"

Gretchen realized what was happening. "Anything but that! Spare me from that!" She then ran off.

"Gretchen...?" TJ watched as she ran.

"Hey, hey!" Ashley A shouted. TJ turned to see her staring at herself in the mirror. "I'm so super-duper-super cute in this! So cute that it's scary!" She was wide eyed and excited. "And in this plain swimsuit! How far can I go with it?"She began to do poses that showed off a lot. "With this cuteness, this beauty, this body! Hiding it is like some kind of crime!"

TJ then walked off rolling his eyes.

"You think so too, don't you, TJ?" Ashley A asked. When everything was silent she turned to look at TJ to see he wasn't there. "Huh?"

TJ stood in front of a changing cubical waiting for Spinelli to come out. She had been in there for ages.

"Hey! You okay in there, Spin-?" As soon as he said the start of her name, a hand came out from the curtain and grabbed him and pulled him in.

TJ crashed his head into the mirror. He turned furiously at her.

"What are you do-?" He stopped.

There was an awkward silence between the two. They were both on the floor. Spinelli was looking down, making no eye contact.

"I don't know what to do anymore." She finally said.

"Why? What's wrong?" TJ sat up.

"No matter what I do, I can't decide."

TJ looked around at the swimsuits. They were black or navy blue and some were smaller than others.

"What about them is bothering you?" he asked. "You can't pick one in any other color than navy blue or black."

Spinelli began to shake her head furiously. "That's not it! I can't find one that fits!"

TJ knew she was against it but it was the only solution. "How about...a child...size...?"
"Over my dead body!" She shouted at him, making eye contact with him.

TJ then say, her cheeks were rad and her eyes was watering.

"Don't say what that stupid powder puff said."

TJ lifted up a navy swimsuit with white outlining it. "I-Isn't this one rather small?" He held it up, matching Spinelli up with it. Spinelli's eyes widened. "It's not too expensive and it's tick and sturdy. You can even put it in a dryer. Did you try it on?"

Spinelli's face heated up. "I tried..." She then looked down in shame at the floor. "...putting that one on...it was...more or less okay...but it was...um..." Spinelli clubbed her hands together and began to hug herself.

"Then this one will do...won't it?" TJ asked, not seeing the picture.

Spinelli looked up at him knowing he was too dense to get it.

"Yeah...you're right."

...

The sun began to low and TJ had began to pull food out.

"Spinelli, how many eggs do you want?" He asked. He turned to see Spinelli huddled into a ball on the sofa. "I'll make whatever you want." She didn't say anything and he couldn't see her face to know what was wrong. TJ sighed and tried to think of a topic to talk about. "Oh, yeah! Did you prepare for the pool tomorrow? Don't forget a towel. A bath towel."

"Shut-up." Spinelli said, sick of listening about talk about the pool.

"Why you..." TJ grew annoyed of her sulking and rudeness. "What are you so disgruntled over? The swimsuit? Or are you still angry about last evening?"

"No! That's not it!" Spinelli finally shouted.

"Then what is it!"

There was more silence and TJ didn't give up on getting the truth out of her.

"I...can't swim! That's what's bothering me!" Spinelli said. It didn't seem real, it seemed like a lie, it was fake.

"When you say it like that, there's no way that's the real reason!" TJ said, knowing what a bad liar she was.

Spinelli started to growl when Jan's door opening and she walked out in a tight dress.

"I'm going down to the pub!" She smiled.

"Hey, wait up!" TJ stopped her. "Drink this before you go."

He handed her a mug and Jan smiled and took it. "Thank-you, TJ."

She started to blow on it, trying to cool it down before she began to drink. "Ow, hot!" She complained when she took it away from her lips.

"What's that?" Spinelli asked.

"TJ's special soy milk!" Jan smiled. "He says that the soybeans and the isonobonbons or something that it has will make my breasts bigger!"

This caught Spinelli's attention.

"Isoflavone." TJ corrected his mother.

Jan's boobs were huge, not normally huge. He looked down at them proudly. "I can't have them shrivel up, so this is a precaution. I am so smart!"

Spinelli came over with her fork. Using the end of the fork she began to poke them.

TJ's eyes widened as he couldn't believe what was happening.

Jan laughed, liking the feeling. "Spinelli's perverted, sketchy, one-touchy!" She joked.

"Don't sexually harass people's mothers!" TJ shouted at her.

"I'm going out then~" Jan walked off.

Spinelli sat on the floor and the two watched the door in which Jan just left.

"Sheesh, she's noisy." TJ said still able to hear her high heels clicking.

Spinelli's eyes were wide and TJ watched scared.

"What's up with you? You're being weird." He pointed out.

Spinelli looked down on the floor were a soybean had fallen when TJ was making the soy milk.

"Soybean..." She then picked it up and shoved it in her mouth.

"Hey!" TJ shouted.

"That was horrible!" Spinelli shouted. "Gimme more!"

"What the hell are you doing?" TJ questioned.

"I want to stock up on isonobonbons too!"

"What? Why would you wan-?" That's when it clicked.

The size of her swimsuit...and isoflavone...

"Spinelli, could it be that you-?" He began to say.

"No, don't say it!" Spinelli blushed and had her voice high like a girl. She bugged herself again. "Don't say anything else!"

"You're..." TJ's eyes widened.

Spinelli's face was covered with black hair as she looked down at the floor.

"Flat-chested?" TJ finished his sentence off.

Hearing these words, Spinelli flung her head up, tears falling from her eyes. TJ now knew her secret.

Outside, people stared at the house as a high pitched screamed filled the night.

...

In Spinelli's apartment, TJ sat on the sofa, fiddling his thumbs.

Sheesh...why would you fret over that? Fretting over the size of your breasts...

He heard Spinelli's bedroom door open and he looked to see Spinelli, but she was in the dark,

"Here I am,"

"Y-Yeah..."

She walked into the light wearing her swimsuit. She held up the top part with the straps and looked away smiling.

"How is it?" She asked. She was smiling because she found herself stupid. Laughable in fact.

TJ just gasped not believing it.

"It's flat, right? Really flat-chested?" She asked him.

"No..." TJ said not wanting to be rude. But if he didn't tell her now, then everyone in school will make fun of her tomorrow. "w-well...what about cups?"

"They're in, but..."Spinelli began to laugh. "Th-They're collapsing." She began to laugh again. "This is why I don't like going to the pool."

TJ sighed. "E-Either way, go put something on. You'll catch a cold other wise."

...

Spinelli sat on the arm setter with her legs curled up and she wore her red nightgown and TJ sat on the floor.

It was beside a coffee table and beside the coffee table there was an orange liquid in a jug sitting on it.

TJ took a sip while Spinelli gulped it down.

"What's this?" He asked, looking at the white paper beside the jug.

"By looking at that, even you will be able to understand my grief." Spinelli mumbled.

TJ grabbed the paper and turned it over. It was a photograph of last year at the pool. A photograph of Spinelli.

She wore a navy swimsuit with her hair in a bun.

With black marker, there was an arrow pointing to her chest and it said, 'Pitiful breasts'.

"This is..." TJ gasped. "rather mean..."
"'Pitiful breasts'? 'Pitiful'? I'm being pitied for the flatness of my breasts!"

"No-well, that's only the opinion of the person who wrote this." TJ comforted her.

"When I heard there was a picture of me like this, I made it rain blood over the photography club that I got it from. The written was already on it and I didn't want anyone else to see..." Spinelli explained how she got the photo.

"Now that you mention it, the photography club did sudden;y cease operations..." TJ thought back to last year.

He stopped thinking hearing sniffs. He looked at Spinelli. She wrapped her warms around her legs and began to cry softly into them. "And now I've got to expose this pathetic appearance to Vince...I don't want to...I don't want to..."
"Hey, Spinelli,"

But she ignored TJ. She still cried embarrassed with herself.

TJ thought to himself. How could a guy help a girl with these kinds of problems. But she was a friend. He then came to the conclusion that the sex of the friend doesn't matter, a friend's a friend, no matter what! And friend's help each other out when in need. So he was going to help Spinelli.

"Okay. I'll do something about it."

Spinelli looked up at him. "Huh?"

"I'll make sure you'll be able to stand before Vince...with your chest out proud."

...

It was extremely late but the two were still up over at

Spinelli played Soul Calibour III playing as Seung Mina against Ivy. While she played the game, TJ was sewing the breast cups.

"It's all right," TJ said, keeping his eyes on the cups. "You can go home and sleep."

"No," Spinelli mumbled. "I'll stay here and wait for you to finish. I'll stay up until you're finished. She began to rub the sleep in her eyes.

TJ smiled at her loyalty to him.

"Hey," Spinelli began to talk. "I was being stubborn and mean...I...I'm sorry."

TJ stopped sewing hearing her apologize but just smiled and went back to sewing.

...

Sunlight poured through the close curtains. TJ stood holding up the long mirror and Spinelli stood in front of it.

TJ smiled at her and asked, "How is it?"

Spinelli was bright red and speechless at her reflection.

"When I'm a bride," She finally spoke. "I will wear these with pride."

...

The sun was bright and students baked in the sunlught except for one class who were by the pool.

They all smiled and laughed. Vince then came out of the changing rooms.

"Wow Vince, you look great without your shirt." Commented Ashley Q running over to him.

"Really?"

"Yes!" Ashley B quickly agreed.

By the shade TJ sat tiredly, Mikey stood staring angrily at Ashley Q, B and Vince and Gus sat smiling at all the girls in swimsuits.

"I've got my shirt off!" Mikey mumbled.

TJ's eyes were closing but he tried to stay awake.

...

In the girls changing rooms Ashley A had finally got into her swimsuit.

"Well, bye bye Spinelli." She giggled. "I'll see you out there...if you decide to come."

She then walked out and Spinelli stayed by the lockers, not one clothing taken off.

"Come on Spinelli," Gretchen caught her attention. "I want to do your hair."

Spinelli looked at her swimsuit. "R-Right."

...

Vince, Ashley Q and B laughed when they were called upon.

"Hey, Ashley Q and B!" A voice shouted from the other side of the pool.

TJ, Gus and Mikey heard the shouts to and turned to look at who it was.

It was then Mikey and Gus dropped their jaw and turned their heads to were the girl ran.

"Sorry I'm late." Ashley A said. She leaned down with her hands on her thighs and began to pant, showing off her boobs.

She knew what she was doing but she did it so innocently.

"Wow! Ashley A!" Gasped Ashley Q. "You're amazing!"

"What?" Ashley A asked.

"Yeah, your body is amazing! No wonder you're a model!" Ashley B agreed.

"Oh no!" Ashley A laughed. Everyone had now noticed her and was crowding round her and drooling.

In her head, Ashley A thought, THAT'S RIGHT BITCHES, I'M THE BEST DAMN THING THAT YOUR EYES HAVE EVER SEEN! (Avril Lavigne lyrics lol)

TJ stayed in the shade not bothering to crowd round Ashley A.
"TJ!" His name was shouted out.

He turned and his face bright red and he was full of joy!

Gretchen came running, everything bouncing and Spinelli ran after her.

She looked soo damn cute as Gretchen had put her long, black, wavy hair into two buns on each side of the head.

"Wait up Gretchen, my hair will go out again!" Spinelli had a towel around her like a shawl.

Gretchen then jumped into the water and went under the water. She had never been good at PE but she was a beautiful swimmer.

Spinelli sat at the edge with TJ. It was a lovely and quiet moment been the two but it was soon ruined by Ashley A.

"Oh hey Spinelli, you finally came out! I thought you'd never come out because the swimsuit might be...a little two loose." She giggled.

"What are you talking about?" Spinelli asked. She then slowly stood up and removed her towel. "Oh jez, I hope I don't get sunburned."
Everyone caught her. The guys and oohed and aahed as the bumps were there.

They weren't as big as the other girls but they were perfect size for her height, just the perfect proportion.

"They're perfect!" Some one yelled. "She's really developed in the past year!" Another yelled.

Spinelli looked down at TJ and smiled proudly. "It worked!" She whispered.

"Yes!" TJ gave a victory pump.

Spinelli then looked at Ashley A with a sly look saying, 'Ha! You were saying, bitch?'

Ashley A's blood boiled and turned to walk away in a pissed mood.

"Ha! They're all wrong! Still small! Not as big as mine!" Ashley A murmured as she walked away.

Gretchen popped out of the water. "Fake boobs." She said to the two before going back down.

TJ and Spinelli stared at her shocked.

"S-She knew?" TJ gasped.

"That's Gretchen I guess!" Spinelli answered.

Just then, Vince walked over. "Hey Spinelli."Spinelli blushed horribly and sat back down quickly with a towel round her head. "Why are you hiding? Especially when your with that great mouse hairstyle?"

"G-Go away!" Spinelli yelled at him.

"WHAT!" TJ gasped as this was the person Spinelli was trying to impress.

"Did I say something wrong?" Vince asked TJ.

"W-Who knows." TJ looked away.

...

Swimming lesson was over and they were now allowed to play in the pool. Spinelli just sat on the side the whole lesson under the towel. In the shade, Ashley B stayed putting sun cream on her skin. (People with dark skin do get sun burnt before you yell at me. Their skin goes darker but you can't see it as well as people with white skin cause they go red or pink. *Just in case anyone wants to shout at me, I did research.*

Others just threw beach balls and were splashing each other. The PE teacher just had his weights out and was working out his hug abs.

"Hey, show us your biceps!" Ashley Q begged Vince with some other girls around him.

Vince bent his arm. "You mean these babies?"

The girls around him oohed and aahed.

"That's amazing!" Ashley Q smiled.

Just then, Mikey and Gus popped up from the water and watched as he got all the girls around him.

"That guy..." Mikey growled .

"...gets popular on his own!" Gus finished his sentence.

They then looked at each other and nodded, evilly.

"We raise an objection to this disparate society!" The two of them yelled, getting out of the water and running at the group.

The two grabbed Vince, Gus had his arms and Mikey his legs and the two swung him into the water.

"THIS IS A SUMMER SWING!" they yelled as Vince went flying into the air and into the water.

All the girls panicked over Vince and all the guys laughed to each other knowing what to do.

Before they knew it, everyone was chucking people into the water.

"Usually you're allowed to do what you want in this class, but isn't this a little too dangerous?" TJ asked Spinelli who now had the towel off her. She had her hands on her hair buns and was blushing. "Right Spin-"
TJ stopped as Spinelli was smiling as she squeezed her hair buns.

"Vince said my hair looked cute..."She giggled to herself, feeling all girly.

No, he said it looked great...

Behind TJ, stood two evil plotters.

"Target caught!" Gretchen laughed grabbing on arm.

"Let's go, baseball throw on demand!" Vince laughed, clutching his other arm.

"Yeah!" Gretchen laughed.

The two pushed him up and he went flying into the pool like many others.

"All right! Who's next?" Gretchen laughed.

"Let's get her!" Vince pointed at a random girl and the two ran laughing to her.

TJ popped up from the water and looked at Spinelli who was in fits.

"Yay! You got tossed!" she laughed hysterically, not know Ashley A was behind her.

"That really looks like fun, doesn't it, Spinelli?" Ashley A asked.
Spinelli went stiff and turned to look at her. "Y-you!"

"Let's play and have some fun!" Ashley A grabbed her and lifted her u high. Because she was small, she was very light and it didn't take much effort to lift her like a child. "Don't take this personal, now!"

Ashley A then tossed her and Spinelli went up high. Higher than anyone else. She was like a ball being thrown the air and going up high.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and got out of the pool as Spinelli screamed for dear life and landed with a bi splash.

Ashley A innocently went, "Whoa!"

TJ glared at her angrily. "Hey, hold back a little!"

"Why should I? We're just playing!" Ashley A smiled.

"Hey, Spinelli! You okay?" TJ playfully. But nothing came up. "Spinelli?"

Ashley A stopped smiling and became worried as nothing popped up.

Suddenly a hand popped up and Spinelli began to kick the water and screamed but it didn't last long as she went back under again. She kept popping up trying to grasp for air.

TJ soon got worried, remembering their conversation when he was cooking the other night.

"She...!" He gasped.

"No! That's not it!" Spinelli finally shouted.

"Then what is it!"

There was more silence and TJ didn't give up on getting the truth out of her.

"I...can't swim! That's what's bothering me!" Spinelli said.

"Don't tell me..." TJ gasped. "She really can't swim!"

"You're kidding me!" Ashley A yelled at him.

"Wai-Stop it!" Gus yelled as Gretchen and Vince tried to throw him in but soon stopped hearing TJ yell.
"SPINELLI!"
The teacher was now doing push ups when Ashley A ran to him.

"TEACHER!" She screamed.

"Spinelli!" TJ gasped before diving under water.

He saw her small legs kicking the water and she soon went down.

TJ reached out for her hand and Spinelli reached out to TJ's. Her face was in big cheeks and TJ had caught her and brought her to the surface.

Spinelli took in a mouthful of air regaining herself when she noticed something. She went bright red and started to kick and punch TJ.

"N-No!" She screamed.

"Calm down, Spinelli!" TJ ordered her, trying to save her life.

"TJ!" She gasped for more air as she began to go under again. "One of the cups came off!" TJ realized what was happening and began to look desperately for the cup. "What should I do!" Spinelli gurgled.

TJ found the cup floating in the water.

Everyone watched from the side panicking, not knowing what to do.

"Hey, w-what do we do?" Ashley Q asked worriedly.

"Spinelli!" Vince gasped.

"SPINELLI!" Gretchen screamed jumping into the water.

The teacher listened to what Ashley A said and turned worriedly to the water.

"Spinelli!" He yelled. "I'm coming!"

"No, don't come!" Spinelli kicked and screamed.

From all around, everyone shouted her name.

Dammit! Now that it's come down to this-!
TJ knew what to do and grabbed the cup.

"Spinelli!" He yelled at her.

Spinelli looked up confused still splashing before TJ grabbed her and pulled her down under the water.

Spinelli couldn't understand why TJ had pulled her down underwater. She couldn't swim and it seemed like TJ was trying to drown her.

Spinelli looked down at him confused as they went lower down.

TJ with the cup put his hand into the swimsuit.

Spinelli's eyes widened and she went so red, her mouth opened and she passed out.

The humiliation

...

The sun was coming down and Spinell lay over the table in the classroom.

"Look, I'm saying that I'm sorry!" Ashley A apologized for the hundredth time. "I didn't know you can't swim."

TJ and Ashley A were behind her and they were the only three in the classroom.

"Everyone's gone home already, so just get over it already!" Ashley A commanded her.

"This won't be settled by a mere apology." Spinelli finally spoken since the incident. "Because you did that crap...my...my...bre...bre...bre..."
TJ then went bright red knowing what she was really upset about.

TJ with the cup put his hand into the swimsuit.

Spinelli's eyes widened at the memory and she grasped the table. "Either way!" She screamed, embarrassed. "APOLOGIZE! APOLOGIZE! APOLOGIZE! APOLOGIZE! APOLOGIZE! APOLOGIZE! APOLOGIZE!" She shook the table.

Ashley A looked down at her and sighed. "At any rate, if Spinelli can't swim, she can't come along to the pool or the sea together with us." Spinelli smiled. TJ looked down at Spinelli apologetically when Ashley A asked, "Hey, TJ, my vacation home is by the sea. If you'd like, how about we spend the summer vacation together?"

"What?" TJ couldn't believe his ears. Spinelli stopped shaking the table. "Wait a sec. Weren't you just apologizing to Spinelli?"
"Then, well, how about I bring Vince along too? You'd come then, right?" Ashley A giggled knowing that these were the guys Spinelli all deared.

Spinelli sat up straight angrily.

"Oh? Is something wrong, Spinelli?" She giggled.

"If you keep this crap up...I'll spread around the footage I took of you doing 100 different imitations in rapid succession." Spinelli threatened. Ashley A gasped worriedly. "Wait, it was 150, wasn't it?"

"If you do that, I might just sue you for infringing on portrait rights!" Ashley A tried to keep cool. "Not even a Tiger can win against the hand of the law, can it?"

Spinelli and Ashley A then laughed stiffly.

"Hey, you two." TJ didn't get this at all.

"Stop it right now!" A voice pierced the air. Everyone looked up to see Gretchen standing, her hair blowing and her clothes too. "This...will hurt."

There was an awkward silence as everyone stared at her jaw dropped.

"But, but! Listen, Gretchen, Spinelli's been treating me-" Ashley A began.

"It's the moron powder puff's fault!" Spinelli shouted pointing at her.

"Wa-! What the hell are you saying?"

"The one who started-"
"SHUT UP RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" Gretchen screamed. "If you want to develop your friendship using your fists...don't do it with fighting, but instead..." Gretchen looked up at them with a fiery eye with excitement. "fight it out with sports!"

The three looked at her confused.

"Sp...Sports...?" Questioned Spinelli and Ashley A.


I like this chapter as it shows how much TJ cares for Spinelli.

Your thoughts?

omgpear-The bird is amazing. Sorry she's not in this chapter but I hope you really liked this chapter. Glad you didn't give into temptation, for we still gotta get to the good chapters.

GhostWhishper-No, Ashley A is not going to die. It's funny how she's like for now on, true bitch and no more air-head me! yet she keeps most of her air-head self and has a little bit of bitchyness here and there. And yes, the bird is mental.
