The next day...

TJ got up early hoping to talk to Spinelli before school when he spotted her kicking a ball against the dodge ball wall.

He tied up his bike and went to watch her.

Her movements showed a violent girl who often beat people up.

But when he looked at her he saw the side of her she'd been trying to hide for so long.

He then sat down when she began to bang her fists against the walls angrily.

"Spinelli." said TJ.

He saw her pause and turn around.

"What do you want TJ?" asked Spinelli rubbing her numb hands.

"I want to talk with you Spinelli. Come sit down." said TJ.

"I'd rather stand," said Spinelli folding her arms.

TJ got up and pulled her to sit down in a swing beside him.

"Listen Spin Gretchen told me what you told her and I'm so sorry," said TJ swinging slightly.

"You aren't sorry Teej," said Spinelli swinging high.

"I am truly Spinelli I just wish you'd believe me," said TJ looking at her.

"Well I don't TJ. You and that powder puff deserve each other as far as I'm concerned. Because you both don't take other people's feelings in to consideration." spat Spinelli jumping off the swing at it's highest.

"That's not true Spin and you know it's not!" exclaimed TJ.

"It is TJ! Now just leave me alone," yelled Spinelli picking up her bag from behind the dodge ball wall and walking into the school.

TJ sighed and picked his bag up before meeting up with the others at the front of the school.

He soon saw Gretchen and Ashley walking.

He caught Gretchen's eye and shook his head.

Gretchen sighed.

"I'll like go and try to talk to her if you want," said Ashley.

"I'm not so sure that's a good idea Ash," said TJ.

"Let her TJ. She might be able to reason with her," said Gretchen.

"She's in school somewhere," said TJ.

Ashley walked into the school leaving TJ and Gretchen to wait for the others.

She went into the toilets and saw Spinelli punching a wall vigorously.

"Um like Spinelli can we like talk?" asked Ashley.

"What do you want powder puff?" asked Spinelli.

"Like TJ is very upset that you're not his friend anymore. Yet he won't tell me why. If it has anything to do with me I'm like sorry. But like maybe I can help." said Ashley leaning against the all.

"I doubt you can powder puff. Since you and TJ have admitted you feelings TJ has changed. It is in part your fault and nothing can be done to make up for it. Now just leave me alone," said Spinelli punching the wall again.

Ashley turned and left Spinelli alone.

She walked out just in time to catch up with the gang.

"It, like, didn't go well TJ. I'm like sorry," said Ashley.

"It's OK Ash. Come on let's get to class." said TJ taking her hand.

Gretchen went into the toilets and saw Spinelli sunk against the wall, crying, and her hands red and bloody.

It was a sight she'd never thought she'd see.

She sat down beside Spinelli and hugged her sobbing friend to her.

"Come on Spin we need to get to class." said Gretchen helping Spinelli to her feet.

TJ was talking to Ashley when he saw Gretchen walk in with Spinelli who was crying and her hands were red and bloody.

Miss Grotke spotted Gretchen and Spinelli and gesture for Spinelli to go to the nurse.

Gretchen looked at TJ who was shocked before leading Spinelli to the nurse.
