A/N: thank you for your reviews!!
"So, dude, you know what you're going to say to her, right?" Vince asked as they approached their group of friends after third period.
"Yes, Vince, act natural, be myself and then ask her to come over this afternoon. I got it!" TJ said confidently, even though he was dying from nervousness on the inside. He had seen Spinelli in math class earlier that morning, but he had gotten in too late to speak with her and by the time he had finished signing in with their teacher, Spinelli had already left for her next class. He only hoped that Vince's confidence pep talk would pay off so he would no longer be intimidated by Spinelli's beauty and changes.
"OK, good, now say hi," Vince hissed into his ear, practically pushing him into Spinelli.
"Um, hi, you guys, hey Spinelli, how was New York this summer?" TJ asked, his voice squeaking ever so slightly as he took in her beauty.
Spinelli smiled at him. "Hey, Teej," she said, leaning over to give him a hug.
TJ smiled as he embraced his friend, who seemed to still be the loving, yet tough girl he had known since kindergarten. "What was I so worried about?" he thought to himself.
"It was ok, you know, spending time with my relatives can get a bit boring after awhile, but now I'm back here with you guys, ready to embark on some new and exciting adventures" Spinelli answered laughing slightly.
"And we are glad you're back, Spinelli," Gretchen told her, "The summer was so boring without you."
"That it was," Gus agreed.
"So what other classes does everyone have this year? Oh how wonderful it would be if we are all have some classes together again!" Mikey exclaimed, taking out his schedule.
As the rest of the gang compared schedules, Spinelli reached into her binder to take out hers. As she went to grab it, she dropped her binder, sending papers and folders flying across the quad. Spinelli leaned over to pick up the floating papers, her tank top shifting ever so slightly
TJ was about to go and help her when he noticed something that caused him to feel an unusual sensation inside him.
"Oh, my gosh," he thought, "is she really wearing....." his thoughts trailed off when he noticed what that unusual sensation he was feeling had led to. "Oh, no," he thought, frantically trying to find a way to hide his problem.
"Pssst, Vince, I need your math book, now!!" TJ whispered to his friend, hoping he would get the hint.
"But Teej, I've already told you I'm not in your math class," Vince said not getting the hint.
"Here, TJ take mine, you're in my class." Spinelli offered, getting up off the ground and handing him her math book
"Ummmm.. sorry Spin but, I need Vince's, so Vince, can you give me that nice big math book of yours?" TJ asked pointedly, hoping Vince would finally get the hint.
"Why, is it a lucky math book or something?" Spinelli asked, confused by her friends behavior.
"Ummm... you could say that," TJ replied hoping she wouldn't notice what was going on.
"Ummmm, ok, who knew math books brought you good luck," Spinelli said, putting her book away. "Especially Vince's."
"Yeah, well. Its something that happened over the summer so you really wouldn't get it," TJ said. He was hoping she wouldn't ask and that none of the guys would say anything.
"Come on, Teej. I can tell there's something wrong," Spinelli said putting her arm around his shoulder, something that made TJ more nervous than ever, if that was at all possible.
TJ hurriedly shook it off as he said," Look. I've got to go. See you at lunch." And with that he ran off trying to think of a way to hide his problem.
Vince went to follow him to see what was wrong, leaving the rest of the gang in a state of confusion.
