Friday, February 14th.

"And this morning's radio broadcast was brought you by Jonnies Creamy Chocolate, wishing you and your sweet heart a very happy Valentines Day!"

Spinelli turned off the radio. "Valentines day. Ugh! I have Valentines Day! It's stupid-nothing but happy couples everywhere. They aren't even that happy! It's just a stupid holiday made up by all the candy and flower companies! Gus is right; it's all a conspiracy! I hate this day! I hate school! I hate TJ! So what if I go to the dance with Gus instead of with TJ! So what? I didn't want to go with him anyway! I should have punched him in the face! But then he would have a bruise there. Wouldn't that be nice? Ha! That would have taught him! Stupid Valentines Day! They should call it singles awareness day! That's a better title for it. Where is Gus anyway? Why did I agree to give him a ride this early to school anyway?"

She got out of her car and walked up to the door and rang the bell. "Spineli! Good morning!" "Hello Mrs. G! Is Gus up?" "Yes, I think he is. Come inside, you can go upstairs and get him". "Thanks Mrs. G." She walked passed her and went up the stairs to Gus's room.

"Hey Griswald! You in there?" she yelled, pounding the door. Normally she would walk in unannounced, but last time she did that, she saw something she wished she hadn't. For the longest time she couldn't look Gus in the eyes with out blushing. Yes, he was what one would call a nerd, but in those 2seconds she didn't realize this was the same Gus she had known all these years. He was buff! And looked good! Even if she had seen more than intended. "Hey Spinelli! Come in." She walked into his room. On the shelves there where airplane models everywhere. Even had airplane posters on his walls. Yep- this was definitely the room of an army kid. "So why did I have to come by so early?" she said as she sat down on his already made bed. His room was so neat! Hers was a mess, but his was so freakishly clean, that's what you get being raised in a military family. "Oh, I just like to be early, that's all. Now where did I put my book?" He said as he looked in his closet. "Found it! Let's go!" they both went down stairs "bye Mom! See ya after school" Gus yelled as he and Spinelli ran out the door.

"About tonight," Gus started "what time did you what me to pick you up? And don't worry about my jeep. Since it's still in the shop, my dad said I could drive the Bentley" he said hoping to get her mind off of T.J. and on to the car- the one she said she would buy if she could. He knew she was disappointed about not going with T.J. Although she would never say it, and if he brought up the subject, she would probably end up hitting him. "About 7 is good." she replied, her mind off in another place.

It was lunch and there where flowers everywhere. Several people had bouquets of flowers. Like Vince, who had a good 55 carnations. While TJ had 5, Mikey and Gus had 2, from Gretchen and Spinelli. When Gretchen and Spinelli finally got there food from line, the guys saw they too had carnations. Spinelli had 8- five from them, one from her parents and 2 from some freshmen boys. TJ got a bit mad at hearing his. Gretchen got 15-five from them, one from her parents, from Dave and Sam, Menlo, Jeff, Ashley, Bob, two from the freshmen she tutored, and one from a secret admirer. They ate lunch kind of quietly-the tension between TJ and Spinelli was still in the air- though T.J had written he was sorry on his carnation to her.

When the bell rang every one was able to go home. All the girls where going to get their hair and nails done and would miss the afternoon classes, so the school allowed everyone out early as well.

reviews! please!
