Chapter 11: Resolution

A lot had been learned in just a week. Those mistakes you make and learn from, and never make again. The gang had experienced that.

T.J tried calling himself crazy for using violence as an answer, but they wouldn't have that. He learned the biggest lesson of all. Mikey learned not to be such a softy, and got harder. Gus and Vince learned not to follow what someone else tells them to. Spinelli learned not to use violence as an answer to everything.

Everyone got something out of what they put in. Their sentencing was hard work, and the gang wasted their Easter holiday on it. Mundy, Skeens and L.K got worse after they were released. Police chief, L.K's dad was sentenced to five months in prison for not taking any notice of his son's acts of vandalism, theft and assault.

T.J and the gang remained best friends. T.J and Spinelli refused to become an item, because they realised that if they broke up, the gang would as well.

Spinelli found herself a biker who she loved. Gus remained one of the coolest in the year with a new sense of style and contact lenses instead of glasses. Vince easily charmed the girls with his sports and athleticism. Gretchen with a new hairstyle found another science genius that shared the same interests. Mikey found the right girl, and T.J continued to go out with Heather.

Nothing could break the bond between a childhood friendships. As they got older and their differences separated them, they got themselves into more serious arguments; they would always make up the next day.

Remember, to every good story there is a moral. Violence is never the answer, even if it may seem that way. There is always another way. Self- defence is one thing, but going after someone who has attacked you is wrong, always stand down. Pain is for a day. Pride is forever.

There. My first and maybe my only Recess fan fiction, I hope you all enjoyed it. If you have read this far, please review.
