++Chapter 10++ Hurt feeling's and pre-parental partners!

Spinelli arrived slightly late to class, she had purposely took her time -she really didn't want to see TJ or Gina after this.

"Spinelli, your late -I'm afraid I'm going to have to give you a Tardy"

"fine" said Spinelli sitting in her seat -unfortunately it was next to Gina

"Hi Spinelli! How are you this morning?" said Gina brightly

"Leave me Alone!" said Spinelli bitterly

"now, Spinelli could you listen please?" said Miss Grotkey

"I'm trying! But SHE wont stop taking to me!"

"Gina, please don't talk. as I was saying, you will all remember letters being sent home"

"yea -asking if we cant watch some movie" said Vince "its only a movie!"

"yes, well its subject, some parents don't want you to learn these things yet" said Miss Grotkey trying to explain that they'd be watching a sex education movie

"ITS ONLY A MOVIE!" shouted Phil (the wood chuck scout)

"yea, bit its like a sex education movie -that's totally discussing!" said Ashley A

"EW!" shouted Gretchen

"settle people settle, all of your parents want you to watch it so please watch quietly and MOST OF ALL keep your comments to yourselves!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The class started at the TV all looking disgusted -thankfully it was over, they didn't much like learning about the birds and the bee's (A/N: Has Anyone noticed how sexist that saying is?!)

"like why did you make me watch that?" asked Ashley Q "it was like so gross!"

"well the school board wanted you to learn about this, now your going to learn about Teen pregnancy, the school board wants you to learn early. I've partnered you all up and your going to take life like dolls hope and care for them!"

"uh Miss Grotkey, I didn't play with Dolls when I was meant to and I'm not playing with them now! Its to girly -there know way I'm putting a doll in frilly dresses OR putting its hair in bows -that stuff is SO powder puff"

"I'm afraid you have to Miss Spinelli, you may have Misunderstood me when I said 'doll' its actually just like a baby, it need to be fed and cared for, you have to care for it just like a real baby!"

"we don't have to like change its nappy do we?!" cried Ashley A

"why yes, they are straight-of-the-art doll's, were privileged to have them. you have to keep them until end of school of Friday, If your doll die's you unfortunately fail, the partners with the baby in the best condition will get a grade, A and also win a ticket to the opening of Gonzo word theme park!"

the class room instantly filled with cheers

"now here is how the partners are set, Gretchen and Vince, Gus and Ashley A, Mikey and Ashley Q, Gina and Menlo, Phil and Ashley B, Geordie and Ashley T" more name's were read out FINALLY miss Grotkey reached the and of her list "Francis and Emma, and last but not least Spinelli and TJ!"

Spinelli froze -she was working with TJ? This would be hard! He'd just broken her heart -unintentionally maybe but her heart was still broken.

"okay girls, please move to your partners" said Miss Grotkey

Spinelli moved and sat by TJ -her heart aching painfully as she sat by him 'how am I going to survive these four days?'

::::::::::::::::::::::TJ's POV:::::::::::::::::::

YES I'm working with Spin, This will give me a chance to apologise!

"okay, girls, please move to your partners" said Miss Grotkey

Spinelli sat next to me

"Hey Spin -I'm sorry"

"for what?" she asked looking at me, when I looked at her I noticed something missing, it then hit me, that spark in her eyes, the one that I love so much -its gone!

"are you okay?" I asked concerned -I couldn't stand seeing her like this, she looked so depressed.

They ware distracted by a loud wailing noise

"these are your babies" said Miss Grotkey turning and handing a 'baby' to TJ and Spinelli

"how do we get it to stop yelling?" asked TJ

"like this" said Spinelli hitting the baby -which only caused it to cry louder "SHUT UP YOU STUPID THING!"

"erm" said TJ picking it up "sing to it?"

"I'm not singing!" said Spinelli

"well I cant sing either!"

"who said I couldn't sing? I said I wont sing!"

"yea, but you've always said your voice is terrible! And I've heard it on offence or anything. I cant sing to save my life -and this things giving me a headache!"

"yea, erm -I was acting, so I can kinda sing" said Spinelli "Hush, little baby, don't say a word. Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird And if that mockingbird won't sing, Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring And if that diamond ring turns brass, Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass And if that looking glass gets broke,

Papa's gonna buy you a Billy goat And if that Billy goat won't pull, Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull And if that cart and bull fall down, You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town"

TJ stared at Spinelli almost captivated, she'd told them she had terrible voice -even faked it! But now she was singing she sounded beautiful -like an angel! Not to mention the fact that the baby had stopped crying and had fallen asleep!

"wow! Spin -that was amazing!" said TJ breathlessly

"yea right! of course it was! If you tell anyone I will kill you!" said Spinelli (yes she is still broken hearted) her voice was very sarcastic when referring to the singing

"wow! Very good TJ and Spinelli, You're the first in the class to get your baby to sleep" said Miss Grotkey

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

:::::::::::::::::::Spinelli's POV::::::::::::::::

Today was hard, I surprised my self by reviling my singing, I'd always sworn that I'd never reveal it, but now my perspective has changed. it hurt so much being with TJ -every second I was reminded of the kiss this morning! But I'm hiding it, i've told TJ I'm fine -but I think he knows I'm lying.

Spinelli's thought were interrupted by the baby crying

"Rock-a-bye baby, in the tree top When the wind blows, the cradle will rock When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall And down will come baby, cradle and all. Dam didn't work!"

"maybe it's hungry" said TJ making Spinelli jump "you mum let me bye the way"

"good idea" said Spinelli giving the wailing doll a bottle -silencing it immediately "and it's a she, she needs a name"

"a name? How about loud mouth Lisa?"

"No TJ, I was thinking of Rain" said Spinelli (A/N: I love that name!)

"Rain? That's a nice name! Sure!"

"right, I'm taking Rain tonight and your taking her Tuesday and Thursday night, I'm taking her tonight and Wednesday, yea?"

"sounds good" agreed TJ "although we shouldn't need to learn this stuff at 10!"

"you'd be surprised TJ!" said Mrs Spinelli "girls have been know to get pregnant at 11!" (A/N: its actually true! I know it sounds drastic but its true! This little 11 year old girl down my street is pregnant! -its rather sick actually! -and my friends 13 year old sister Marni is pregnant!)

"its true! an 11 year old at 32nd street elementary is pregnant! I'd be so ashamed if I were her mother!" said Flo Spinelli

"uh! That's sick!" 'reminds me of Gina!'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

TJ arrived to school on Wednesday, he was completely tired -he sat on the steps enjoying his brief moment of silence, Mikey, Vince and Gus were sitting with him

"morning TJ!" said Spinelli

"huh? Wha?" muttered TJ who had nearly fallen asleep "oh! Morning!"

"you know I heard Rain crying last night! And I saw your next door neighbour Mrs Smith -she said the baby kept crying all night! Did you have ANY sleep?"

"around 30 minute's in sections -every time I got to sleep the stupid thing started crying again!"

"hello!" said Gretchen arriving "whats happening?"

"TJ couldn't get the baby to stop crying all night -and Spinelli could" said Gus

"it's a DOLL! Why is everyone so fascinated with it?!" said Vince annoyed

"Gus, nearly every female has a natural 'mother' inside them, Including Spinelli!"

"well i've managed to get our stupid doll to be quiet since school yesterday! What do you have to say to that huh?" said Vince

Gretchen had a horrified look on her face

"Vince -the baby's Dead" said Spinelli "and now Gretch is gunna fail!"

"its not dead! LOOK!" said Vince taking the doll out and shaking it madly "okay, so maybe it is"

"its not dead! Mine's been just the same! And I cared for it last night! I wrapped it in loads of quilts and everything! It had even snuggled under them by the morning!" said Gina in a proud voice

"well it sounds like you suffocated your baby!" said Spinelli -glad something good had come out of this

"what ever!" said Gina pushing past and walking trough the door

"child killer!" shouted Spinelli before she could stop herself

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Spinelli sat in her room, daydreaming of different way's of hurting Gina when Gretchen arrived

"Hi Spinelli! Guess what? There was an error in our doll so Miss Grotkey gave us a replacement -I might not fail after all!" said Gretchen carrying here new 'baby'

"that's great Gretch"

"Spinelli, whats wrong? I could have sworn only days ago my female intuition was telling me you had a crush on TJ and now its telling me you hate him -that your only being civilised"

"wow, your good Gretch" said Spinelli miserably

"I'm right? Dose that mean you have a crush on TJ? And now you, you hate him? Gosh -what did he do?"

"if you repeat this to a single living breathing soul, I swear I'll beat the tar outa ya!"

"Spinelli, I'm your friend, I would never tell"

"okay, yes, I had a crush on TJ, I still do in fact-"

"then why am I picking up that you hate him?"

"because Gretchen, as unintentional as it was, he broke my heart" she said tears filling her eyes

"oh Spin, I'm so sorry" said Gretchen hugging her, Spinelli didn't care about her 'tough girl' rep at the moment, she accepted the well needed hug, after all even tough girls can have their hearts broken.

Spinelli didn't know how long she'd been their, but she was accepting the comfort and her feelings were soon minimised

"thanks Gretchen" said Spinelli wiping her eyes "I needed that, I still like TJ, but I cant have him -he's my friend, its better than nothing"

:::::::::::::::::::TJ's POV::::::::::::::::

I'm in bed, it was early but I'm so tired, the problem is I cant sleep, Spinelli was on my mind. Her singing is so beautiful, but she just not herself, That sparkle in her eyes has gone! There are just dark now, not the deep sparkly beautiful eyes I referred to in my poem, their just dark. I've also noticed she's been slightly off around me! I apologised -but it wasn't a proper apology!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Finally the end of Friday had come, TJ had managed to get a decent nights sleep -he'd learned how to care for Rain!

"finally, the time you've all been waiting for, we find out who won the gonzo world tickets"

"well, it wasn't, like, me there's totally no way I was going to change its nappy!" said Ashley A

"the winners are, TJ and Spinelli!" (A/N: obviously!) said Miss Grotkey handing TJ and Spinelli their tickets.

finally the Recess bell rang, and the class ran from the room, Spinelli was about to leave when Gina stopped her

"MOVE!"

"ah, ah, ah! You'd better start being nice to me!"

"why? What your you gunna do? Scare me by taking of the ugly mask of yours?"

"firstly your going to watch what you say to me from now on, and secondly your going to give me your Gonzo world ticket!"

"and what makes you think that powder puff?!"

"because otherwise I will read your shitty poem to everyone! And of course tell them you wrote it! Plus doesn't TJ recognise your writing?" said Gina smugly holding a photocopy of Spinelli's poem "I found it on Miss Grotkey's desk and copied it"

Spinelli stared at Gina feeling completely shocked

"if you give me your gonzo world ticket, I will keep quiet" Spinelli considered this for a moment while Gina continued "I know what your thinking and yes, me and TJ are dating!" (obviously this was a lie) "and don't you think he would want his girlfriend with him? There's a reason the Ashley's call you Spin-ugly you know -look into the mirror and you'll see!"

Spinelli stayed silent, holding her tears back -she was NOT going to give Gina the satisfaction of seeing her pain!

"if I give you the tickets you will stay silent about the poem, right?" asked Spinelli

"of course"

"FINE! Take it" said Spinelli throwing the ticket at Gina.

(A/N: Gina of course wouldn't tell TJ -she knows he likes her! And she isn't dating him, she's just being a bitch!)
