Lunch...

Gretchen sat in the library after eating her lunch in the cafeteria.

TJ and Ashley had been very lovey dovey and Gretchen could tell what spinelli meant when she said that TJ had changed.

He was practically trying to chew her neck like chewing gum.

Gretchen sighed and spotted the Library kid sat in her usual spot, the reading corner.

Gretchen often came into observe her and make sure she was keeping under control.

TJ soon came in and Gretchen got to her feet.

"Gretch wait." called TJ.

"What Teej?" asked Gretchen.

"Do you think Spinelli was right about me?" asked TJ

"To be completely honest TJ the only person who doesn't see it is you." said Gretchen.

"But how have I changed? I don't get it," said TJ.

"Think about it Teej. You ignore your friends, won't play kickball anymore and we haven't done a plan since she got involved. I'm sorry Teej but what Spinelli said is the complete and utter truth," said Gretchen.

TJ left the library and Gretchen watched him, knowing it was for the best.

TJ couldn't believe what Gretchen had said. But if he thought about it, it made some sense.

He'd blown off each of his friends and caused Spinelli to get hurt both physically and mentally.

She undoubtedly hated him now.

TJ walked to the guys' toilets where it has all began in a way.

He didn't know what to do.

He loved Ashley and had had deep feeling for her for a long time.

But with Spinelli, she was his best friend...the person he'd shared experiences with like the kissing experiment and stuff like that.

He had lots of memories with Spinelli and whenever he thought of Spinelli his heart rate increased.

His head fell into his hands and a groan came from his throat.

What to do? What to do?

"TJ you in here?" asked a voice.

"Yep." sighed TJ coming out the cubicle he was in.

"Gretch told us what you said to Spin. If you love Spin so much, then how can you love Ash too?" asked Vince.

"I don't know Vince. I'm too confused." groaned TJ sinking to the floor next to the hand dryer.

"Let me put it this way man. Do you really like Ash or do you pretend to feel that way so she wasn't embarrassed?" asked Vince.

TJ thought about it till his head hurt from banging his head against the wall.

"Well?" asked Vince.

"I suppose I'm unclear about this. But I've known Spinelli so much longer. I need to tell Ashe the truth," said TJ.

"Wonder how she'll take it." said vine.

"I hate to think of it," sighed TJ as he got up.

"Well good luck Teej." said Vince.

Teej smiled a weak smile before he left the toilets.
