ITS HERE –FINALLY! Yep, after all the talking I did about this fic (and the
re-naming from 'Cabin at the lake' to 'An Unexpected Romance') its finally
here!
Thank you for clicking! I really hope you enjoy this, coz trust me, I've loved writing!
Anyway, on with the story!
Chapter 1= The Plan
//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\///\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\ \//\\//\\
Allot had changed since the forth grade for our beloved recess gang. TJ had changed, he was now the high school hottie –with the body that most girls, and Randal, drooled over. He and Vince, who was still his best friend, were the school sports stars.
Spinelli had probably changed the most drastically. Her tough girl personality melted away into her more depressed and deep character. Although she was depressed, she continued to hide her emotions, (A/N: She's Like Kerry from 8 simple rules) her best friend Roxy is just like her.
Gus had moved away mid-way through the 6th grade, Gretchen had moved to a genius school, and Mikey no longer spoke to any of them, now at the ages of seventeen, the recess gang was well-and-truly over.
"Remember Bob, not a word to Ashley of the plan –it took us a while to plan this with the Detweilers!" said Flo Spinelli clearly, hoping that her husband wouldn't mess up the fully perfected and brewed plan.
"They fell out Flo, its not fair to force them back together" Replied Bob, trying to reason with his wife.
"We're not forcing them –it just happens we are both staying at cabins at a lake" she said "and its just a coincidence that there is nothing around for miles" argued Flo, proving her point and implying her plan was flawless.
"So that's what your telling her?" asked Bob, giving up on trying to argue with his stubborn wife –the stubbornness a quality that their teenage daughter Spinelli had inherited.
"No, we're telling her that we're going on holiday –we're going to be very surprised to see them there. Ashley still has a crush on TJ –she has for around nine years now, it really hurts her that they don't talk"
"You wouldn't know it hurt her if you didn't read her diary!" said Bob, slightly angry at his wife's invasion of Spinelli's privacy. At times Spinelli would have came to her mum and told her how she felt, but as she entered her teen years she became far more withdrawn from them and kept her emotions quiet.
Mrs Spinelli was stopped from protesting by Spinelli arriving home and slamming the door –evidently in another bad mood.
"Ashley –come here please" said Mrs Spinelli
"The name's Spinelli" she said firmly, thoroughly annoyed that in seventeen years, her mother could not yet call her her desired name "and hurry up, I'm meeting Roxy for ice-cream –we're celebrating the end of school"
Spinelli walked into the room and sat down checking her watch, hoping her mum wouldn't take to long. Roxy was her closet friends, after the loss of the friend in her gang, she didn't make many friends.
"ASHLEY" repeated her mum before continuing "instead of having you moping (A/N: pronounced moaping) around the house all summer we're spending the time at lake Carrie –we've rented a cabin there"
"WHAT?!" shouted Spinelli "great –I get to spend the holidays with my parents at some shitty cabin by a lake. Uh –my life sucks!"
Spinelli was not at all happy over the news of spending her entire summer vacation at some cabin –especially when her and Roxy could be doing something fun.
"Ashley, language!" scolded her dad, angry at her use of cursing language, although he did swear allot he still wasn't used to it, he was used to her tomboy and once well mannered attitude. Well mannered to other people than teachers of course.
"What ever" said Spinelli before storming from the room, angry that her father couldn't except her change, and still treated her as that nine year old girl who was once hopelessly obsessed with wrestling.
~*~Meanwhile~*~
TJ arrived home a little later that Spinelli had. He walked inside and was greeted by his mum.
"TJ dear" she said softly, glad to see her son home.
"Hey mum" said TJ putting the keys to his car on the little hook. TJ although the popular jock of his high school, he still had a close relationship with his mother.
"Guess what we're doing this summer?"
"We?" asked TJ, he didn't like the sound of that, he'd made plans with his friends, and by the sounds of it, they'd been called with what ever family 'fun' his parents had planned.
"Yes, you, me, your dad, Becky and Lewis (A/N: this is TJ'S big brother –he's only been mentioned in an eppie or 2) are spending the summer on vacation! –we're going to a lake called Lake Carrie"
"But –but I had plans" protested TJ, very much not wanting to spend his time with his parents sister and cocky big-headed brother –the holidays like christmas and thanksgiving were bad enough.
"Not anymore you don't" said Becky laughing "you should have heard Lewis' reaction"

I'm answering the review to my previous fic in a review.
Please review, and remember the golden rule "If you cant say anything nice, don't day anything at all" Constructive criticism is good, just don't be 2 mean.
