Thanks everyone, I'm glad you like it! But RandallXSpinelli, I'm confused, do you hate or like this fanfiction? First I thought it was a good review when you said TJ finally having a flashback and something about Ashley's made sense but then you said hate Vince X Gretchen and you're bored with TJ X Spinelli. Please explain, thanks.
The girl crawled out of the box. Her hair in loose pigtails and she wore a blue dress down her to knees and large glasses.
"You okay?" I asked her.
"Ouch." She whimpered.
She stood up right before falling back on her backside.
"What you doin?" I asked curiously.
The girl looked up at me. She stood up excitedly and waddled over to the books, which she picked up to show me.
"Look!" She smiled pointing at a rocket. "Me make dis."
I smiled. It looked fun!
"Can me help?" I asked.
"Yes, you help!" She laughed.
We both then got on our knees and started to make the box, into a rocket.
I hated it. It was dreadful to see her suffer. Gretchen kept failing subjects after subjects.
"Gretchen, are you okay?" Vince asked. "This isn't like you!"
Gretchen sulked in her chair.
I couldn't watch it. I could see her suffer. You may think it's only grades but you can see the look in her eyes, it was more than that. She wanted to have a good life, get a good job which pays good money Failing was like killing a side of her.
"Yeah, I'm just going through a rough time right now." Gretchen forced a smile.
I got up in disgust, she didn't have to do this. I was only saying it to annoy her but this is ridiculous!
I got up ad banged my fists on the table. Both Gretchen and Vince looked at me startled.
"TJ! What's wrong?" Gretchen asked.
"I...uh..." I looked outside and saw Ashley standing there. "I gotta go!" I said running out of the classroom.
…
"Hey," Ashley said.
"Hi Ash...Hi!" I smiled trying not to say her name.
She gave me a funny look before shaking it off her face.
"So, how's you?" She asks.
"Fine." I looked at her to see she wasn't wearing her black coat. "Are you not cold? Where's your coat?"
She tried to smile it off.
"Em...I forget it." She smiled.
I saw she was only wearing a sloppy white t-shirt. I saw goosebumps form on her arm.
"You just can't forget your coat!" I pointed out.
"Yeah..."Ashley dragged. "Okay! It was stolen."
I looked at her as she flinched as the icy cold air hit her bare arms.
"Here," I sighed pulling off my jacket to give her.
She looked up at me confused.
"Wear it!" I said shaking it in front of her eyes.
"Oh," Ashley became upset. "I'm sorry, I can't take that."
"Take it!" I ordered. "You can give it back tomorrow when you got your coat back home.
Ashley, hesitatingly, took the coat.
I saw as her face turned and it looked like she was in paradise.
"Thank-you, Teej." She smiled.
"No problem." I said before saying goodbye as the bell rang.
Gretchen's POV
"Hi." I smiled as I reached the door of Vince's house.
"Hey!" Smiled Vince.
Because I was 'failing' in class, Vince offered a movie night, just the two of us, together alone in the house.
I entered the house, Vince taken my coat and hanging it up on the coat hanger at the bottom of his stairs.
"Thanks." I smiled.
I wore a browny-creamy coloured ugg boots, white tights, cream skirt, a long brown coat with crème fur at the cuffs, bottom, down the middle and at the neck cuff. But since I had my coat taken off I wore a plain white long sleeved. Because it was white, it sort of showed off anything bright underneath. So I wore a white bra.
I sat on the sofa as Vince grabbed the food and switched on the movie, The Grudge. I wasn't a fan of horrors and I don't plan to start now.
"Okay, you ready?" Vince asked.
I nodded.
…
The movie was over. I was curled up on Vince's, head lying on his shoulder, body on his, Vince's arms around me and...my face buried in a pillow.
"Is it over?" After a lot of screaming.
"Yes it is." Laugh Vince.
I peeked out of the pillow. "That scared me." I said knowing it really was over.
"You're telling me. You jumped and screamed so much you made me go deaf and I'm bruised." Said Vince showing off his arms to where I accidentally punched in fear.
"Sorry." I said, embarrassed on how I behaved.
"Hey, no worries."
I cuddled my knees to my chest.
"What's wrong?" Asked Vince, sitting forward and placing a hand on my back.
"I feel stupid."
Vince got up and shook me. "You are not stupid!" He hissed.
I looked up at him.
"You Gretchen Grundler are the smartest person I've ever known. Now this phase you're going through. I don't know what it is, maybe it's a girl thing or maybe it's just part of puberty, but Gretchen, you'll get over this and you will be smarter than you've ever been."
Vince shouted in my face.
I looked into his perfect brown eyes start to relax.
The eyes, searching through mine.
He pulled me closer and I closed my eyes, waiting for the kiss.
"Oh Gretchen." Vince HUGGED me.
I opened my eyes to see him hugging me.
I sighed. I wrapped my arms round him.
'Stupid girl! Of course he wasn't going to kiss you!'
"Thanks Vince." I whispered in his ear.
"No probs."
And with the closing chapter...
we sleep once more!
