The Journal of the Smartest and Loneliest Woman
I don't own anything from Recess but I do own Thomas.
Chapter 5
After Middle school I move here to New York City. I go to a very prominent college and become a very successful scientist always busy with my experiments not wanting to think about "THAT DREADED TOWN" My office is of course organized, I haven't called or even written my dear father in 5 years. I'm pretty much the same except now I wear contacts and my hair is always down since I have time to fix it a little. I've polished myself over the years got my masters before I was even 21 and I'm working on my PhD in Forensics. Yes I get down and dirty with murder's doing with the physical components of the human body but it keeps my mind busy. I sit down on my desk and report on my findings, which are too disgusting to share.
My secretary beeps in saying "Ms. Grundler you have two guests here to see you." 'Who in the world has come to see me? My dad is too busy with his new girl friend even though he did pay most of my way through college.' I walk out into the entrance of my office and see two people I haven't seen in years T.J and Spinelle sitting there with wondering eyes. I formally say "Good day Mr. Detwiler and Spinelle." Both of them look at me as if they didn't recognize me Spinelle asks "Gretchen is that you?"
I remain stone faced and reply "Yes Spinelle it's the same Science Geek you all knew in elementary."
T.J just looks at me as if not really sure what to think of me. Over the years I've gotten over my little crush on T.J ever since my mom passed away I've turned a cold and shrew scientist throwing myself to math and figures. Spinelle remarks "You look really good but you haven't smiled since we got here. Are we offending you Gretch?" I begin to smile a little it has been a long time since I've seen my friends and answer "No I just have a lot on my mind."
T.J smiles now and says "Same ol Grtech her passion for science hasn't died. Spinelle and I were wondering if you'd come to a little reunion we're having."
"I'll think about it T.J when is the Reunion?"
T.J answers "A week from now it won't be the same without you there Gretch."
Spinelle nods and a small spark of emotion show in my eyes but I'm not that anxious to face everyone. I reply "I will have to see what my schedule has but I will try."
Both of them nod and give me a hug bye which strikes me as strange yet that hug released emotions I had buried since my mom died. Tears fill my eyes for the first time in over 6 years and the idea of meeting all my old friends again was an inspiring idea. I recall back in grade school when I gave the library kid the advice of enjoying everything in moderation. 'I hope you all won't find me too cold but I don't know if any of you know about my mom's death.' I see T.J and Spinelle walking, talking and looking up at my window. "I will go back to time before we were separated in middle school." As I watch them leave I lean back in my chair and had a genuine smile on my face as I begin planning a few days off next week.
Here's the switch I hope this won't confuse my two reviewers. I hope this won't disappoint them.
Alimoe: School, Stress, and Sickness all these things have played on why I didn't leave comments in the last chapter. I'm glad you still like the story I've worked on a new story for another Cartoon and it's for W.I.T.C.H. I won't quit writing just yet I just like to see how much I improve
Wolfegurl006: Thanks for the comment and yes I've been dogging the computer somewhat. I'm glad you still like this story too.
