This chapter's interesting...Uh, it's also the last chapter, and I don't
own Recess...Spinelli's friend sort of...Yeah. I repeat, this is the last
chapter... *blink* This is the second time I've ever finished a fic. Ever.
It's mind-boggling.
TJ walked to school the next morning and had barely stepped inside its steel gates when Spinelli was in his face.
It was too early, he thought tiredly. Spinelli was fixing a rather severe glare on him and TJ didn't know why. Spinelli, noticing his clueless look, rolled her eyes. She opened her mouth and was about to speak when Vince arrived. She glared at Vince too.
Her eyes were covered in emerald green eye shadow and electric blue lipstick coated her lips. Her cheeks were pale, makeup thick on her face. Her shirt was mostly blue mesh that matched her lipstick, with a vinyl bra underneath and a short black vinyl skirt with fishnets. She also wore a dog collar choker and the same oversized boots, ski cap (this one, however, was black), and bomber jacket that she had worn in elementary school.
She scowled and the bell rung. Spinelli aimed a fierce glare at the two boys she had known since childhood and ran after her friends. She started chatting with a friend of hers with white striped hair.
"Sin? Wha' were ya doin' o'er ther' wit' Goody-Two-Shoes?" The goth girl asked Spinelli.
Spinelli looked back at TJ, glaring.
"Well, Ro, I was tryin' to talk to him. Vince interrupted," Spinelli spat angrily.
Her friend nodded, adjusting her backpack.
"How many tahmes hav' Ah tole ya? It's Ro-GUE. I don' see why ya even talk ta 'im anyways," Rogue exclaimed.
Spinelli rolled her eyes.
"Rogue, I've known him since I was five. Probably younger. He's practically my next-door neighbor," Spinelli grunted.
Rogue rolled her eyes.
"Ya lahke him," Rogue stated bluntly.
Spinelli gritted her teeth.
"Me? Like him? You're crazy!" Spinelli hissed.
Rogue smirked.
"Nah. Yer the crazy one, Suga'. Crazy fo' him," Rogue replied, Mississippian accent thick.
Spinelli sighed.
"I do not! And anyways, you're crazy for a certain guy too. And speaking of him, he's right there," Spinelli responded viciously.
Rogue reddened slightly and kicked Spinelli.
"Yer a moron! How coul' Ah lahke HIM? He's a... Well, ther' ain't no nahce word ta describe 'im," Rogue yelled.
Spinelli smirked. She pointed ahead, where a tall, lanky guy with brown hair and a trench coat stood, flirting with a group of girls. Rogue's eyes widened and she turned in the opposite direction quickly. Spinelli laughed and Rogue glared.
"Ah. Do. Naht. Lahke. Him," Rogue snapped.
Spinelli grinned.
"Sure you don't," Spinelli said sarcastically.
Rogue glared at her.
"Ash, jus' go talk ta yer bo'frien', a'ready," Rogue hissed.
Spinelli frowned. However, Rogue had been spotted. Her eyes widened as the guy started to come after her and she ran down the hallway. Spinelli laughed. She decided to skip first period. After all, she couldn't stand Mrs. Calahan. She saw TJ walking down the deserted hallway and confronted him.
"TJ!" Spinelli yelled.
TJ turned to face her and stopped walking.
"Yeah? What, Spinelli?" TJ asked.
Spinelli's eyes were steely as they bore into his. She smiled a strange little smile.
"TJ, we need to talk," Spinelli hissed, grabbing his arm and pulling him into the girl's bathroom.
TJ's eyes widened. Rogue heard the noise and leapt out of the stall, tackling TJ immediately. Her eyes widened and she moved off TJ quickly. She dusted herself off, glaring at Spinelli.
"Sorrah, though' ya wer' summon else," Rogue snapped, pulling up her shirt sleeves.
TJ nodded. He turned to Spinelli.
"Spinelli, who's she? Why'd she tackle me?" TJ asked, confused.
Rogue glared at him.
"Ah'm right here, Detweiler," Rogue spat.
TJ looked at her, raising an eyebrow.
"Mah name's Rogue. Or, tha's what ya can call meh. Anyway, Ah tackled ya beca'se Ah though' ya wer' this jerk Ah know," Rogue explained tiredly.
Spinelli smirked.
"Yeah. His name's R-" Spinelli began, grinning.
Rogue clapped a gloved hand over her mouth. She glared at her friend viciously. TJ grinned, noting that Rogue's face was flushed. Well, flushed for a goth wearing thick makeup, anyways.
"Oh, crazy gahrl, talk ta him already. Everyone can see tha' ya got sumt'in' ta tell him, so ou' wit' it a'ready," Rogue snarled.
Spinelli glared at her and moved herself and TJ away from her friend. Rogue shot her a smug look and Spinelli scowled. Spinelli placed her hands on TJ's shoulders.
"TJ, I've asked you this many times, and you still haven't given me an answer," Spinelli began.
TJ looked at her evenly, not saying a word. Spinelli fidgeted with her hands and moved closer to TJ. TJ's back was against the wall.
"Do you have feelings for me?" Spinelli whispered.
Her face was a few inches away from his. He could feel her breath on his face. Spinelli's eyes bore into him.
"Yes or no, TJ? It's a simple question," Spinelli snapped, frustrated.
She moved back and TJ remained silent. He took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
"I don't know, Spinelli," TJ breathed.
Spinelli shot him a cold look and she stormed out of the stall. Angry tears bubbled up in her eyes and she blinked them back. She grabbed Rogue's arm, running out of the bathroom. Rogue fought, but eventually gave in to Spinelli's strength.
The door slammed behind them and only then did TJ exit the stall. He looked at himself in the mirror, wondering if he had done the right thing. He sighed, confused about his life, and quietly left the bathroom. Unbeknownst to all involved, on the mirror in the far corner, in angry red lipstick, read the word Betrayal.
"And this, good friends, is what happens when the blinders finally come off. A cautionary tale from me to you. This is why denial is not your friend. Now, any questions? Okay... And ACTION!" Michael Blumberg, a famous director, said passionately.
The cameras rolled and the actress playing Spinelli spoke up.
"Hey? Mr. Blumberg? Is this a true story?" Sydney, the actress asked.
Mikey looked at her.
"Yeah. It happened a long time ago. Between my elementary school friends. But that's another story for another day. Now, Sydney, Jack, continue!" Michael replied distractedly.
They attempted to go back to the movie, but Jack, the actor playing TJ, interrupted.
"Why doesn't Ted just tell Leigh that he loves her?" Jack asked confusedly.
Mikey sighed.
Mikey's next reply ended the subject.
"Does it say that he loved her?" Michael snapped.
Jack leafed through the script and looked up at Michael.
"Not exactly," Jack replied thoughtfully.
"And, you know what the sad thing is? No one will ever know the answer to that question," Mikey replied in a bittersweet tone.
THE END.
Oh, Ted and Leigh are the "movie-names" for Spinelli and TJ. Because Spinelli's name ends in a Lee sound... Both of them. Ashley, Spinelli, you get the drift. And Ted is a form of Theodore. What is TJ's middle name? James? Anyways, the actors...Yay, I own them! Okay. Ending very unexpected, no? Anyways, REVIEW!
