sponsor, Principal Prickly of Third Street!
Damson rhee: glad you liked the updates and thanks for your suggestion!
Noelle: the experiment rocks! There is so much evidence there! such scary stories, lol! My friend loves Recess too, she compares herself to the Ashleys and says I'm like Spinelli-which is so true! Email me for help with your fic!
Mistress of Balmoral: thanks for your title suggestion too! And you gave me an idea for a line in this story...BTW, did you get my email?
Jewlz555: I know what a long day feels like, I've been up since the crack of dawn because the people were supposed to come to fix our washer at 7 am, and tell me why they came at NOON?!?! But I digress. Cute title choice, BTW!
LilVickiRyan: which question do you mean? I'm lost? Hmmm, let's see how Spin survives, shall we? Thanks for reading!

The next morning, TJ drove Spinelli to school and they walked into the building together as usual. Today, however, was different. People were pointing and whispering, giving Spinelli evil looks as she walked by.
"Um, Teej, why are they whispering? Do I look ok?" she asked, stepping back so TJ could look her over.
"Yeah, you look great. Don't worry, they probably have too much time on their hands and are making up gossip. You know how they are." TJ touched her face gently, surveying the damage Bob had done the night before, the damage Spinelli tried her best to cover up with makeup, but it was still visible, at least to him "I'll kill him if he gets near her again," TJ vowed.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Spin-ugly, the little slut who cried rape. Its pathetic what the unpopular will do for attention." Spinelli spun around and came face to face with the Ashleys and their boyfriends.
"Tell me about it, someone as ugly as her could use all the attention she could get, which is why she accused Bob of attempting to rape her. As if any man in their right mind would want to have sex with her!" Vince laughed, slapping five with Mundy.
"Vince, take it back," TJ demanded, his eyes narrowing as he prepared to fight his one time best friend.
"Can't take back the truth, dude," Vince smirked and followed his friends to a nearby classroom. TJ put an arm around Spinelli, who broke down on the floor crying hysterically.
"Teej, why are they calling me a slut? Did I ask for this to happen? Am I really that bad a person?" Spinelli wiped her eyes with her sleeve, her makeup smearing and revealing some of the cuts and bruises from the night before. It killed TJ to see Spinelli suffering so much and he only hoped that there was some way he could help her, and in turn allow for her to realize how much he loved her.
"No, Spinelli, don't you ever let me hear you say that again! You are a wonderful, smart, beautiful person and I have no idea what I would do without having you as my best friend." TJ took a handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped her eyes, wishing that he could wipe away the pain and bruises as well. "Just remember that I will always be here for you." He drew her into a close comforting hug as the bell rang in their ears.
"Thank you, Teej, for being the one person on this planet I can trust right now" she said gratefully, kissing him on the cheek. "I love you for being so great, TJ."
"I love you too, Spinelli, you know that," TJ responded, wishing she knew how much and he had meant he loved her in that way. "Walk you to class?" he offered, helping her up and taking her books,
"Sure, thanks, Teej." They began walking to class when they were once again approached by the Ashleys and their boyfriends.
"Aww, how cute, Spin-ugly has a new boyfriend already." Ashley A. cooed in a sweet, sarcastic voice. "Watch out, Dork-weiler, she might accuse you of rape next."
"Can it, Ashley, you weren't there, you have no idea what happened," Spinelli said, trying her best to stay calm.
"What's wrong, can't handle having sex, so you had to cry rape? Or are you pregnant and can't tell your parents what a leg spreading whore you are?" Ashley B. asked, her face twisted in an evil smirk.
"I mean it, back the hell off before I make you." Spinelli yelled, beginning to lose her patience. She felt TJ put a hand on her shoulder to try and clam her down. "It's ok, Spinelli, I'm here," he whispered into her ear.
"Why should we? I mean, you are only ruining the reputation of our school's biggest athlete, I mean, you should be grateful we are making it public," Ashley Q. said, tossing her hair and acting as if they were really doing Spinelli a huge favor. "Just wait until the rest of the school hears all the gory details about pathetic little Ashley Spinelli, or shall I say, Little Miss Attention Seeker." The group burst out laughing at that last remark.
"Yeah, I know, first fighting, now lying, what next, Spinelli? Will you end up a hard core criminal like your brother Joey? Ashley T. sneered at her, knowing full well what a sensitive subject Joey was.
"That's it!" Spinelli finally lost her cool and pushed her into a locker, punching her face and wrestling her down onto the floor. As she beat up her nemesis, flashbacks from that night kept swimming through her mind. The car ride. Bob pushing her down and punching her. Him trying to rip her clothes off. Spinelli suddenly dropped Ashley T. to the ground and crumpled to the floor, screaming and crying. TJ tried to comfort her, but she only pulled away.
"Don't touch me!" she screamed. "I don't want to do it, I told you, I'm not like that!" she choked, becoming more hysterical by the moment.
"What in the devil is going on here?" Everyone looked up and saw Miss Finster approaching.
"Miss Finster, Spinelli's crazy. We were just joking around and she just began beating me up!" Ashley T. cried. "Call my dad, I want a lawsuit!"
"Can it Ashley, you know you deserved what you got!" TJ snapped, in no mood for any Ashley melodrama. Spinelli was suffering and he wanted to do anything in his power to save her.
"Well, maybe a trip to the principal's office will do you some good, Miss Spinelli. Now march!" Miss Finster dragged Spinelli to the office, calling over her shoulder, "Get to class you hooligans!"
"Well, well, well, who knew Spinelli would end up a psychotic, lying slut?" Vince asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
A/N: I am evil, I know! What will TJ do in reaction to what Vince said? What happened to Spinelli? Where in the world is King Bob? Please R/R and remember the golden rule, if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all! Happy reading, and please help me think of a title for this miniseries!
