Spinelli woke up to the sound of her alarm clock on the first day of her sophomore year of high school. She was happy that she would be able to go to school and hang out with her friends without having to worry about her dad. She quickly got out of bed and got dressed. She wore a red tank top with a white mini skirt and platform shoes. She brushed her hair out and let it hang down her back. After applying a little bit of black eyeliner and pink lip gloss she headed down the stairs into the kitchen.

"Good morning Ashley. You look great today," her mother greeted her. You could tell that everyone was happier this year.

"Thanks mom. Good morning. I might be home a little late today after school. I'm going over to TJ's with the gang to hang out," Spinelli said fixing a piece of toast.

"Ok. Just be home before dinner," Flo said as she cleared her plate into the sink.

"No problem," Spinelli replied taking the toast out of the toaster. Ten minutes later Spinelli grabbed the keys to her brand new car that her mom bought her for her 16th birthday and was out the door.

"Bye mom!" Spinelli called over her shoulder. Her mom waved as she drove off. As Spinelli drove she was trying to find a good radio station to listen to. She found one right as she pulled into the school's parking lot. 'Great,' she thought. She turned the car off and got out. She scanned the place, looking for the gang.

"Spinelli!" called a familiar female voice. She turned around and saw Gretchen running toward her.

"Hey Gretchen!" Gretchen ran into Spinelli and the two friends hugged. Gretchen had been away at camp all summer.

"Oh my god I'm glad you're back!" Spinelli exclaimed letting go of her friend.

"Me too," Gretchen agreed.

"Gretchen! Spinelli!" The two girls turned around and saw Gus and Mikey running toward them.

"Hey guys," Spinelli said.

"Hey guys," Vince said walking up behind them. "Who are we waiting for this time?"

"TJ," Spinelli replied.

"Well Teej had better hurry up. The bell's gonna ring in five minutes adn you don't want to be late on your first day of school," Vince said.

"Hey everyone! Sorry I'm late," TJ said coming up to them. He and Spinelli shared a quick kiss.

"So we'd better get to class now," Gretchen said. She was still the smart one of the group.

"Wait. What about Lyndsay?" Gus asked.

"Oh, she moved back to Florida over the summer," Spinelli replied. Her cousin moved shortly after school let out last year. Her dad was in the military so they got moved around a lot.

"Oh. Well that stinks," Gus said.

"Well we'd better get to class now," Gretchen repeated.

"Whoa! I agree with the brainiac on this one! We gotta go," Spinelli said checking her watch. The gang went to their homeroom class and school began.

~*~LUNCH~*~

"Man oh man! Can you believe how much homework that Miss Snyder lady assigned?" Vince said sitting down at the table.

"Yeah I know. And it will only get worse," TJ replied. Vince sighed.

"So is everyone still coming to my house after school then?" TJ asked.

"Yeah I'm in," Spinelli said.

"Yes but only until 3:30. I have to start working on my science fair project," Gretchen said.

"But Gretch, school lets out at 3:00. And besides, the science fair projects haven't been assigned yet and it's optional! Besides, the science fair isn't until April," Spinelli said.

"Yes, but it is good to get an early start," Gretchen argued.

"It's only August!" Spinelli exclaimed.

"Ok! That's enough outta you two," TJ said and the girls stopped. "3:30? Ok."

"I have plans Teej," Vince said. Mikey and Gus both agreed they had plans too.

"Ok then. Looks like it's us three for a half hour then it's me and you Spin," TJ said.

~*~AFTER SCHOOL~*~

"Get 'em! Get 'em! Ooh!" Spinelli yelled at the TV. They were watching wrestling at TJ's house. Yes Spinelli was still into that but she didn't beat up everyone just for the heck of it.

"Spinelli! Phone for you!" Mrs. Detweiler called. Spinelli walked into the kitchen.

"I don't know who it is, but they asked for you," Mrs. Detweiler said handing Spinelli the phone."

"Ok. Thanks," Spinelli said taking it. "Hello?"

"Hello Ashley Spinelli," said a raspy voice. She thought the voice sounded familiar but she couldn't place it.

"Who is this?" Spinelli demanded. She figured it was some kid playing a trick. A prank call. But how would a kid pranking someone know to ask for Ashley Spinelli?

"That is not important right now," said the voice.

"I'll hang up," Spinelli said.

"Hang up and I will kill you. You do not hang up until I say," said the voice in a dangerous tone. How did they know to call here for her? They couldn't possibly have called her house, could they? But why would her mom tell where she was to any random person?

"Ok. What do you want?" Spinelli asked. She figured whoever this was wasn't going to say their name.

"I'm just calling to tell you that you will be seeing me very shortly, Spinelli," and with that the voice hung up. Spinelli hung up scared to death. What did it mean by "I'll be seeing you soon"? She went back to the living room.

"So Spin who was it?" TJ asked. She didn't answer. She just grabbed her coat and left the house.
