Thank you for all the reviews! I hope you guys like this chapter! I've had an idea for a new fic once I've finished this one, not sure when it'll be out though. Again it'll be different from my others, for one the gang wont be in school/college.

I'll try and update every day, but sometimes i may not manage it, as life is really hectic at the moment!

I used to write under the name 'big cliffy meanie' but couldn't remember my log in details! So here I am, with this new account!

A little key to my writing

Chapter 9: Thank god it's Friday

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Gretchen had been incredibly emotional for the rest of the evening, and Spinelli had therefore let Gretchen stay over for the night; Mr and Mrs Grundler would have known something was wrong if she went home in tears. Mr and Mrs Spinelli had again had another row, and had said 'yes' when Spinelli asked if Gretchen could stay; however she doubted they even knew what they were saying yes to.


"Thank god it's Friday" sighed Gretchen as she accepted a cup of coffee from Spinelli "I need this weekend"

"Tell me about it! I'm going to spend most of it working on my art project" said Spinelli, as she sat and brushed her hair "and I kinda need to talk to Teej..."

"What am I going to say to Vince?" asked Gretchen, setting down her cup and stifling a yawn.

"We've been through this Gretch, just tell him straight out, and stay calm when you do; I'm sure the stress can't be doing any good for the baby" replied Spinelli "Now you better hurry up and get ready, we're going to be late for school as it is"

"Baby..." said Gretchen, standing up, seemingly unaware of what she was doing.

"Have you decided what you plan to do?" asked Spinelli gently, walking up to Gretchen and handing her the clothes she'd been wearing the previous day.

"Oh right, thanks" said Gretchen numbly, looking at her clothes in her hand "You're right, I better get ready"

Gretchen got dressed, and they made their journey to school in near silence. TJ walked with them, he seemed aware that something serious was going on for Gretchen, and didn't pry. After their interrupted kiss the previous night, TJ was unsure what to say to Spinelli, he wasn't sure what Spinelli thought of the situation, and knew now wasn't appropriate to talk about what happened. This all made him feel a little uncomfortable and as a result his mind went blank of their typical conversational topics; consequently, they walked in an awkward silence. They finally reached the school and found the rest of the gang stood by their usual meeting place: TJ's locker.

"Morning baby" said Vince, kissing Gretchen's cheek "Are you ok? You look tired"

Gretchen simply nodded, not saying a word.

"You do look tired and a little pale Gretchen, are you feeling ok? My first signs of the flu were feeling tired and sick, I hope you're not getting the same thing?" asked Theresa.

"You're always so caring" said Gus, pulling Theresa toward him "I love that about you"

"You've not been together five minutes, how can you love each other?" asked Mikey, shooting a rather out of character, sceptical look at the couple.

"We've been together nearly four whole months Mikey" said Theresa "please just be happy for us?"

"Hey Spin?" asked TJ suddenly "can I talk to yo-"

However, TJ was cut short by Butch, who characteristically appeared in front of them from the shadows.

"Spinelli? Can we walk?" he asked, eyeing the gang worriedly "alone"

Spinelli nodded, and they moved across the hall, out of earshot of everyone else; or so they thought, little did they know TJ had crept close enough to hear.

"About last night-" started Butch

"I've told you Butch, what happened is between us, I won't tell anyone" reassured Spinelli, trying to ignore her growing irritableness at the constant reassurance that Butch seemed to crave.

"Not even TJ?"

"No Butch, not even TJ" repeated Spinelli, starting to make her way back toward the rest of the gang, both she and Butch missed TJ hurrying back to the previous place he'd been standing.

"Thank you Spinelli, you're really quite an amazing person" said Butch

"Don't mention it. See you tomorrow" said Spinelli, rolling her eyes as she returned to TJ and the rest of the gang.

"What was that about?" asked TJ sceptically, jealously bubbling under the surface.

"Oh, nothing" lied Spinelli, as the bell rang "Better get to class"

"Right" replied TJ, as his bubbling jealously and the situation, began to make him feel angry.


The rest of the day passed slowly, TJ remained irritable and jealous after misreading the overheard conversation between Spinelli and Butch; especially since they'd kissed the previous night, this made the whole situation burn that much more. Spinelli meanwhile tried to hide the fact she was upset by TJ's frosty nature toward her, assuming this was a consequence of their kiss the previous night. Gretchen had remained nausea free for the day, but was very tearful; this was something that baffled Vince who had no idea while she was acting so out of character. Meanwhile things between Gus and Mikey became tense yet again; both shooting snide remarks at each other.

Spinelli arrived home, to hear her parents arguing, this time, about who forgot to pay the gas bill; ignoring this, she hurried past them to her bedroom. TJ had run out of class when the final bell rang, and after looking for him, Spinelli had finally given up and walked home alone. Taking out her phone, she dialled TJs number, she listened to it ring and just as she was about to give up, he answered.

"What?" he snapped, Spinelli was little taken aback by his abrupt response, but didn't let it faze her.

"TJ, we need to talk, can you come over?"

"Finally you want to talk! Fine, I'll be over in a moment" with that, TJ hung up, his tone of voice had remained cold, not the usual warm and friendly tone she was used to. Trying to ignore the hurt she felt, Spinelli opened her bedroom window ready for TJ, and prepared herself for him to tell her that kissing her was the reason he was being so odd with her, and that the whole thing a mistake.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

So how will this conversation go? Spinelli is upset, and thinks TJ is frosty and distant because he didnt want to kiss her, while TJ thinks that there's something going on between Spinelli and Butch! Will they sort out their confusions? And what about Gretchen? Will she tell Vince, and if she does, how will he react?

Lol still unsure if anyone is watching these, but if you have a cat, i recommend watching this one!

just copy and paste and delete the spaces, I hope you guys watch I nearly cried laughing when I watched this one!

RecessFanatic2011: Yeah, I know there is a lot of Butch/Hustler kid stuff out there, but i do think its a cute pairing, so couldn't resist but slip it in! TJ was in Spinelli's room BEFORE she started undressing (just to confirm that) and he didnt realise what she was going to do, still a very awkward moment though! I hope you enjoy what else I do with this fic!

Sexehbunneh: Indeed she is! I hope you keep reading :)

Burton's Disney Princess: Yup! They finally kissed! I'm glad it made the chapter for you! But what will happen now? I'm glad you liked my first bombshell and the Butch and Hustler Kid pairing! I hope you enjoyed this chapter!

Rose-Aki: Yeah, they finally did! I how you liked this chapter! What will happen next?

Sonni: Thank you, I'm glad you liked it, and that they finally kissed! What will happen with those two next? And Yes, my first bombshell has been dropped –Gretchen is pregnant! Do you think she'll tell Vince? And if she does, how will she react? In Eenders, Amira is definitely manipulating syed, she was working it in, and when she realised it wasn't working, so she pulled the ring stunt! I feel sorry for Christian! I loved the stuff with Whitney and Fatboy, it was so cute at the end when he asked if she was ok! I really hope it'll finally work out between them! He defiantly has his TJ qualities, although his chavines annoys me a little!

Apologies for any bad gramar or spelling, I'm dyslexic, so although I've done my best to proof read, I may have missed something!

Please read and review! Constructive criticism welcome!
