Spinelli couldn't help but notice TJ's distance as they walked back home. When they left school TJ spent most of his time with Vince, laughing and joking and pushing each other around, while Spinelli strolled back with Mickey, pretending to be listening to him talking about his new music teacher. As she watched TJ playfully shove Vince into a hedge from the corner of her eye, and laugh at him trying to stand, Spinelli wondered if he really was thinking about her. By the way he was laughing with Vince, she thought not and sighed heavily, kicking a stone gruffly with the tip of her boots. Mickey noticed her sigh, and asked what was wrong.

'I can't say,' she mumbled, continuing to kick and avoiding his gaze. She felt his eyes on her and stopped. 'I don't WANT to say.'

He shrugged loosely and shoved his hands in his pockets, 'It's OK, you don't have to,' he said walking in front of her, leaving her standing there.

As she saw him walk away she sighed again and held her forehead with her fist. She hated him using reverse psychology on her, it always worked. For some reason she felt Mickey was the easiest person to talk to, apart from me of course.

She stood for a few seconds and then chased after him. When Mickey heard footsteps behind him he knew it had worked. He spun around before she could tap him on the shoulder and smiled, slight lines forming around his eyes. 'Spinelli, just tell me what's bothering you,' he said gently, his face calm and friendly. Spinelli stood rigid and stared over Mickey's shoulder at the tumbling figures beyond. Seeing her gaze, he followed it intently and frowned at the target.

'TJ?' he said, looking at her confusingly and sticking a thumb over his shoulder. 'Did you guys have a fight or something?'

'I wish,' she said, leaning against the fence behind her and picking her nails, 'it's just…' she stopped as she saw Vince bounding towards them; red faced and out of breath, laughter occasionally escaping from his mouth.

'Hey! Are you guys up for the park later? Teej says he has a plan,' he puffed, grinning from ear to ear.

'Sounds great,' Spinelli said bravely, motioning a thumbs up at him. Mickey nodded in agreement and, satisfied with the answer, Vince raced back to TJ, shouting at them to keep up. Spinelli rolled her eyes and reluctantly lifted herself from the fence.

'You were saying?' Mickey asked, leading her slowly down the pavement. She didn't want to tell him, it was hard enough telling TJ!

She searched for the words and motioned them out with her shaking hands.

'Well…I told him…something and it was…well…important to me, and he said he would think about it and tell me…what he thought,' she stuttered, the words she used tangling themselves around her tongue so they came out in confused clumps. As she looked up at his face he saw the concentration and interest he had in what she was saying; his furry eyebrows crossed and his fingers tightened around his mouth. There was a silence where the only noise was the commotion ahead and Mickey's brain cogs turning.

Finally, he decided to speak, and leaned in closer to make sure no one else heard.

'So what's wrong with that? Do you regret telling him?' he whispered.

That was a good question actually, did Spinelli regret it? Did she regret putting herself out on the line and risking her friendship with her best friend? She chewed the soft inside of her lip and ran her fingers through her hair.

'No, actually. I guess I have worries and stuff like that but…no, I'm glad I told him, now I might have something better than usual,' she replied, a slight smile creeping onto her face. She tried to cover it by coughing but Mickey saw and patted her on the back.

'I'm glad you told me, not that I completely understand, but we'll talk later, he said. Spinelli realised they were at his house and watched him as he waved goodbye to Vince and TJ, who were still giggling at each other.

Just as Spinelli was about to turn away from the house, she felt Mickey's hand close around her wrist, at first she tugged it away, but stopped when Mickey drew his mouth to her ear in a whisper.

'Don't worry about it, I'm sure he feels the same way,' he said, grinning. He released her wrist and strolled towards his front door, leaving Spinelli open-mouthed on the road outside.
