A/N: Hi and thank you all for reading and reviewing the first chapter of my
story! This chapter, as well as most of the others, will take place while
the gang is in high school and then in the end, I will go back to the
present day (in the story that is) and reveal who died and why. But before
I do that, here are some notes for the readers:
Damson rhee: Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope you keep reading!
Becky Lucinda a TJ Protector: If you think that was shocking, wait until you see the rest......stay tuned!
LockDown: No, no, I meant that her group of friends dated TJ (and your) group of friends, not that she was a player or anything, but I guess I worded it wrong. Glad you like it and I can't wait to see the rest of your fic as well! Stay tuned!
Angel9220042004: Good guesses, and I am glad you like it! stay tuned to see if you are right!
LilVickiRyan: Glad you like it! keep reading!
Kristin: Good guesses, but are you right? Keep reading to find out!

October 2004 (sophomore year of high school for the gang!)
"Come on, you guys, we're going to be late!" Spinelli yelled as she and her group of friends ran across the front lawn of Washington High.
"Calm down, girl, we have fifteen minutes until class starts. What's the rush?" Vicki asked as she caught up to Spinelli.
"I wanna see T—I mean, I want to get here early to, um, hand my paper in to Mr. E. I want to get the extra credit for it by handing it in early." Spinelli said quickly, hoping none of her friends picked up on what she had almost said.
"Sure it is," Jessie said with a smirk. "We all know you want TJ, so quit your lying!"
"I don't know what you are talking about," Spinelli said blushing, even though she knew her friend was right. The truth was she really did want to see TJ before class. She had always liked him, but now that he had that semi-bad boy tough guy thing going on, she found him to be irresistible. Which was why she made excuses to see and talk to him all the time, just to be near him and spend even more time with him than she already did.
"Liar! You know you can't fool us!" Sammi smiled, pushing her sunglasses to the top of her head. "Your crush on him is more obvious than Ashley A.'s new nose, so stop denying it, my friend."
"Yeah, if blondie over here notices it, then it must be true!" Jessie teased. It was a running joke between the girls that Sammi was sometimes a bit ditzy and they often joked with her that her blonde hair had something to do with it. (A/N: this happens in real life to me too, lol I'm just exaggerating my blondeness a bit here)
"Hey, Jenn and I are blonde too!" Vicki protested.
"I know, it's just that Sammi is so much fun to tease about it," Jessie said laughing. "Plus she knows we are kidding, right, Sammi?"
"Kidding about what?" Sammi joked. "Yes, I know, but remember, one day I might be the first blonde president of the country."
The girls laughed. "Come on, enough teasing Sammi," Jenn said. "Let's go find Gretchen, I want to hear about her date with Phil last night."
"Thanks, Jenn," Sammi whispered to her friend as they entered the building. As much as she laughed at the constant pokes at her ditziness, she sometimes got tired of the blonde jokes.
"Anytime, us blondes need to stick together," Jenn grinned as they approached Gretchen's locker, where they found her deep in conversation with Digger Sam.
"Bye, sexy," they heard Gretchen say in a seductive voice as he walked away. "Hey girls," she greeted as she noticed her friends approach.
"Hey Gretch, How was your date last night?" Kellie asked as she opened her locker.
Gretchen rolled her eyes. "Horrible, I mean that guy is the worst kisser in the world!" she sighed dramatically as she removed her sweats, revealing a low-cut blouse and hot pants. (A/N: got this idea from Degrassi) She turned to her locker mirror and began applying more makeup. "I'm telling you girls, don't ever go out on a date with him, unless you like to be slobbered all over."
"Wow, that bad?" Vicki asked. "Shame, he's such a nice guy too,"
"Well, he may be nice, but he does nothing for me, and there are a lot more fish in the sea if you know what I mean." Gretchen smiled at the girls and closed her locker. "Do I look ok? I had to hide this outfit because my parents would flip if they knew I even owned something that didn't cover up everything."
"They'd also flip if they knew how many guys you hooked up with in the past month," Jessie mumbled, but no one seemed to hear her.
"Yeah, you look great," Kellie said with a smile. "You all ready to go?'
"Yeah, we are, let's go find, I mean drop off my paper," Spinelli said, not wanting to bring up TJ in front of Gretchen. Although they were close, she was still embarrassed about her crush on him and didn't want to let many people know about her growing feelings for him, especially not his cousin.
"Yes, Spinelli, let's go drop off your paper," Vicki smiled, knowing what Spinelli really wanted to do.
"Oh, come on, you know you want to see Lawson," Spinelli teased.
Vicki blushed slightly. "Guilty as charged," she admitted as the girls headed to where TJ and his group of friends were talking.
"Actually you guys go ahead," Gretchen said, suddenly stopping in the middle of the hallway. "I want to talk to Gus before class starts. Maybe I can score a date with him this week." She waved goodbye and walked over to Gus, who was surrounded by a group of giggling girls.
"Ugh, I regret the day I actually went out on a date with him!" Sammi shuddered. "He thought that just because I'm a cheerleader and on dance team I was automatically easy, the stupid jerk!"
"I remember, you called me halfway through the date and I picked you up, claiming I needed you to help me get my dog out of the tree!" Jenn reminded her with a laugh.
"Oh, my gosh that was so funny! And the thing was it worked too, and you don't even have a dog! But you were a great friend to help me get out of that awful date!"
"Let's just hope he doesn't pull the same crap on Gretchen," Spinelli worried, looking over to where the two were standing.
"I just hope she's careful, I mean, she has been dating a lot of guys lately, and dressing like that, I don't want her to get the wrong kind of reputation," Kellie said with concern.
"I hope so too," Jenn agreed. "I hope so too,"
