Okay, here it is… The reason why the confrontation was kinda lame… lol… The King Arthur reference… I was trying to think of something smart for Gretchen to say and that was when I was going through the Camelot phase…lol… Still fun, though.

Have you ever noticed in Recess how they don't all really get along, but yet they rarely fight? It's very weird…

Anyways, thanks to all you reviewers, especially frigginpixiedust… blushes You flatter me… lol… And you're right, I'm a girl… I don't think there's a lot of guy writers though… shrugs Maybe they've got troubles with romances or something… Or, it could be that they just don't read or can't write… I mean, there's like eight guys in my English class, and that's a lot… lol… We're the worst honors class, too… The best one has like three guys… How sad is that?

Or maybe it's just that guys are out playing sports and stuff… While we girls sit here, writing out our aggressions… I dunno… I write out my aggressions… There's a lot of them… Sorry, random side-note…

Anyways, ya'll rock… Love you guys, seriously… Now on to the story… I don't like this chapter much, though… It's blerg. Yeah, blerg.

I hear Vince and Gretchen talking. If I squint, I can see them sitting on a bench in the distance. I strain my ear to hear what they're saying.

"Gretch, I gotta give you some props. Spinelli and Teej acted exactly the way you predicted they would."

I cannot believe them! Plotting against us! Liars!

"Why, thank you, Vince."

Ugh. See, this is why I never liked them going out.

"And the acting tonight. It was really great. The fake tears, the Camelot reference… It was great work. Good thing Mikey's giving you acting lessons."

Acting lessons! Ugh, the traitor! How vast is this conspiracy?

"Yeah. We had a nice fake relationship, Vince. We fooled everyone, didn't we?"

Yep. Oh, boy.

"Yeah, we did. But did we fool ourselves too, Gretchen?"

Deep and philosophical of him, isn't it? I wonder if she realizes what he's saying. Oh, who am I kidding? She's a genius. Of course she knows!

"What do you mean, Vince?"

She sounds urgent. Maybe she's realized it and she's in denial.

"Gretch, you're smart, you figure it out!"

Vince is a little snappy, isn't he?

"I don't get it. Do you mean that we deluded ourselves into believing that we had an actual relationship, or that we deluded ourselves into believing that we weren't really a couple, or that we deluded ourselves into believing that we were only doing this for Spinelli and T.J., Vince? You have to be more clear."

Vince sighs. Sometimes Gretchen can be so dumb.

"I think it was the middle one, Gretchen."

Wow. Blunt, even by my standards.

"So, Vince, you're saying that you have feelings for me?"

I can see Vince nodding from here.

"Yeah, Gretch, I do. Do you think we could maybe go out sometime?"

Oh, man.

"Well, since you have the audacity to dare query a question such as that, I have no choice but to offer my sanction to your proposal, Vince."

Ah, she still has to talk like that. I can just picture the look Vince is shooting her.

"And that means? In English, please."

"Yes, Vince, it means yes."

Vince beams hugely and kisses Gretchen hard. I avert my eyes, walking around and searching for T.J. I'll bring them down later. They're too happy. I still can't manage to find T.J.

I give in then, going back inside, tossing my cigarette on the ground, not bothering to put it out.

Loren ;

Okay, so maybe I was exaggerating a little when I said it was one of the biggest surprises of her life, but she's having a lot of problems and stresses around this time in the fic… She's got bad luck, what can I say? But, aww, Vince and Gretchen… So fluffy… But hmm, where's T.J.?

Anyways, Spinelli's kinda pissed that they knew and were doing this all on purpose… Sorry that the chapters are so short, but the next ones get longer…

Later!
