3Chapter 1: A window into a troubled life3

TJ: He's still the loveable popular guy we all know and love! he still wears his red hat the only thing that's changed it his age (obviously) and he now wears a black jacket instead of green.

Spinelli: her life has become a living hell, in the '4th grade summer holidays' (the one with Dr Benedict) Bob and Flo Spinelli got a divorce as Mrs Spinelli was having a affair with a man called Tim Belcher. Spinelli doesn't see her dad any more, by the end of the 4th grade summer Flo and Tim had a wedding planned. As soon as they got married Tim turned on Spinelli and started beating her –she let out her anger by beating people up WAY more than usual. TJ and the rest got really annoyed with it and because she didn't it they dumped her as a friend. In the 5th grade summer Spinelli's life for 10 times worse when Tim started sexually abusing and raping her –Spin had been way to scared to tell anyone as Tim had brainwashed her into thinking people would hate her if she did. Now Spinelli is silent, take's the constant name calling from the Ashley's and spends Recess in the toilets and lunch in town (although she's been telling the school she goes home for lunch) now she's scared VERY of men.

Gus: he moved away (coz of his dad) in the middle of 5th grade –he now lives in Tennessee.

Gretchen: she's still her usual smart self

Mikey: he's still his usual peaceful self and even more wrapped up in poetry and singing

Vince: He is the King of they playground (he was running against TJ who stepped down) he also has help from TJ, Mikey, Gretchen and of course his girlfriend Sammi!

Sammi: she has brown eyes and short brown hair with blonde streaks. She's the 'new girl' she arrived shortly after Gus left. She's a friend of the Gang's, she's Tough if you cross her –so she stands up for those who cant themselves.. She's really close to Gretchen, she likes Mikey's poetry and MOST importantly is dating Vince which makes her the queen Also she doesn't really know much about Spinelli.

The gang have all been to wrapped up in running they playground and having fun to notice Spinelli's change.

They are taught by Miss Grotkey (a/n: I can't get rid of her!) on Monday's Wednesday's and Fridays and taught my Mr Dudechoff on Tuesday's and Thursdays!

There now your up to date!

Ashley Spinelli sat in class miserably, she wasn't really listening to Miss Grotkey's lesson, she was trying her hardest to keep flash backs of the previous night from her mind -her step father had raped her, AGAIN. She remembered when he turned on her, she'd been so gullible, she never saw it coming.

====================Flashback====================

"Pookie I have to go shopping, you don't mind your NEW dad caring for you do you?" said Flo, putting allot of emphasis on the word 'new' at the time Spinelli was VERY close to her step Dad, hence the emphasis. Sadly, Spinelli wasn't prepared for the events that were about to take place.

"sure mum!" said Spinelli watching her mum leave.

"finally" said Tim moving quickly towards Spinelli.

"do you have another surprise for mum?" asked Spinelli curious over her step fathers sudden movement.

"NO, I have a reality slap for you –if you tell anyone about this, I will kill both you and your mother" he said picking her up by the neck and repeatedly punching and kicking her until she was crying and begging for mercy "now get used to that, its going to be happening allot –see you my little punch bag"

He walked away leaving Spinelli shaking and crying on the floor.

==================End of Flashback===============

"SPIN-UGLY!" Spinelli snapped back from her flash back to see Ashley B standing in front of her –most of the class watching and no teacher in site.

"yes?"

"give my your paper!" she screamed holding out her hand, she was already mad over her collecting paper duty.

"yea –be civilised" said Phil leaning on her desk, Spinelli flinched by his sudden movement.

"sorry" she said quietly handing over her paper.

"didn't you even do work?!" asked Ashley B looking down her nose at Spinelli.

"no"

"well then you'll fail and get held back –it'd do us all a favour"

"so what if I get held back"

"oh well at least you could at least get a job in a freak show"

"please, leave me alone"

"with pleasure" said Ashley B moving away quickly.

Spinelli was sitting in her room looking out the window absentmindedly, she was enjoying her relaxation while here step dad was out. She shied miserably as she watched TJ, Mikey Gretchen Vince and Sammi running around and laughing -without a care in the world. Spinelli's thoughts were stopped by her alarm clock, she had it on to warn her when her step dad would get home, for her safety, she always went out 5 minuets before he arrived home generally at 4:30.

Finally when she'd got her shoe's and jacket she ran out the house, she reached the end of the path when she saw her step Dad's car coming around the corner. Her heart immediately filled with panic and she ran and hid by a bush quickly. She silently watched her she dad park the car and get in the house –as soon as he'd shut the door she ran full speed down the street, little did she know TJ and Gretchen had seen everything.

"Gretch? Did you see that?" asked TJ watching after Spinelli.

"yes TJ, as you know I've been studying psychology, and although I'm only on the basic's I can tell that Spinelli was really very scared"

"even I could see that Gretch"

"Hey –are you guys even listening?" asked Vince looking over at them.

"oh sorry Vince" replied TJ.

"yea –we were just distracted, its nothing important though" said Gretchen who was completely unaware of how drastic Spinelli's circumstances were.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~

Spinelli looked at the watch, it was nearly 7, she knew she'd better be getting back.

She arrived back and walked into the house silently, hoping Tim wouldn't want to hurt her tonight –or ever again for that matter.

"mum, Your here! I thought you'd be over a friends or something?" said Spinelli, thankful to finally see her Mum home –this largely minimised the chance of any abuse.

"No pookie, I'm relaxing tonight, starting with a nice relaxing bath" she said walking up the stairs, leaving Spinelli alone.

"you think your real smart don't you? Staying out as long as possible to avoid me, well avoiding me isn't going to help you" said Tim walking up to her and forcing her onto the wall "make one sound and you'll regret it –remember everyone will hate you if they know about this"
