Sundays At Kelsos

"Hey, this is Sunshine FM, I'm Kevin Baxter, and you're waking up to a bright Sunday morning."

Thirteen-year-old TJ Detweiler smiled as soon as the presenter, Kevin Baxter, said the word 'Sunday'. Sunday was his favourite day of the week. Because Sundays were like stepping back into a time machine. Like reliving the old days. On Sundays, him and his five best elementary school friends, met up in Kelso's, the place where they often went together after school.

Now they were all in middle school, he didn't really talk to Gretchen, Gus, Mikey and Vince that much. It was inevitable really. They met new people, they liked different things. Gretchen became captain of the scholastic team, Gus stayed wimpy and got some more wimpy new friends, Mikey carried on writing poetry and singing but also got heavily involved with the drama club. He'd starred in a few school musicals because he was a talented singer, dancer and actor, but he mostly wrote the musicals. And Vince was captain of the basketball team, which made him the most popular guy in school- he didn't have that much time for TJ at school.

But TJ wasn't really that bothered, because he had stayed best friends with one of their gang- the one that mattered to him more than any of the others.

Spinelli.

TJ and Spinelli were best friends. The class clown and the tough, tomboy girl. They walked to and from school together. They sat together at lunch and in classes. They were there for each other no matter what.

And everyone thought they were dating.

TJ must have told about twenty people every day that he and Spinelli weren't an item. But what no one knew was how much it hurt TJ to say that.

The truth was, he'd been in love with her since kindergarten.

TJ arrived at Kelso's to find Gretchen, Gus, Mikey and Vince all sitting down at a table together, chatting.

"Hey, guys! Where's Spinelli?" TJ asked.

"I dunno. You're the one who lives like, three houses down from her." Gus pointed out.

"I called at her house and she wasn't home." TJ said.

"Maybe she can't make it," Gretchen said.

"What?! Spinelli wouldn't miss one of our Sunday get-togethers for the world!" TJ said. "And even if she couldn't make it, she would have told me. She tells me everything."

But TJ didn't know that there was something his best friend hadn't told him.

But he was about to find out.

At that very moment, Spinelli walked in… with a guy.

And they were holding hands.

Spinelli pointed at their table. "That's my friends, over there," she told the guy, then dragged him over.

"Hey, guys." Spinelli said sheepishly, avoiding TJ's gaze. "Um… this is Byron…" She said, gesturing to the guy she was with. He was tall and skinny, with blond hair styled into a quiff, and was wearing designer clothes. There was something about him that TJ didn't like. Was it the hungry look in his eyes when he looked at Spinelli? Was it how he looked down his nose at the rest of the group? Or was it-

"I'm Ashley's boyfriend," Byron said, grinning smugly.

TJ felt an unfamiliar emotion bubbling up inside of him: something he recognised as hatred. Hatred for Byron. How could he be Spinelli's boyfriend? No way was he good enough for her. At all. She could do so much better.

Yeah, TJ thought. She could be with me.
