Recess, something cool

AN: So, this is my first fanfic, I have a feeling it's gonna be a long one! This idea just came to me and I had to start working on it!

The first chapter will be kinda a prologue where you catch up to where the gang are now, how they look and stuff, and some hints of what's going to go down here.

So I wrote this as close to the series as I can, but I changed some things, like that TJ an Spinelli live across the street and not some houses down, small stuff like that, but it will not be to big and it will help the story!

This was written late and kinda hurried, just wanted to get it up, so please, tell me if there is a lot of errors, English is NOT my first language! So I'm sorry I'll try to be better later!

Now, R/R please!

As 17 year old TJ Detweiler looked around the classroom, his only thought was that this is surreal. It felt like any other day, not the last day of school before summer. He guessed that was kinda normal getting older, but he knew the real reason this time.

When the bell rang in… 10 minutes, actually, one of his best friends, Ashely Spinelli was going home, get ready and leave for the first two weeks of summer. Yeah, well it wasn't a very long time but still. Summer was about having the whole gang together, and now that would have to be put up. Whomps, right?

He looked over at the girl to his left, sitting by the window. Gretchen Grundler had reached her height a couple years ago, and was thankful for that. She was now 5.9, almost as tall as Vince. But braces and a more mature style had changed her a little, but she was still Gretchen, and that was good, the group needed a Gretchen to keep them on the ground.

In front of Gretchen sat Vince. Tall as a tree, 6.2, but even though he looked kinda scary, he really wasn't. Vince was the captain of the basket team, and most of his energy went to that and his friends. School, well not so much. Tj grinned as Vince doozed of, hit his hed at the desk and shot up again. The teacher didn't even care to notice him anymore.

To TJ's right was his friend Gus. The boy had also grown, but at 6.0 he hat yet to beat Vince. Other than becoming taller and letting go of the buzzcut Gus hadn't changed much. He had more confidence, and was really funny, but still shy around new people. His friends didn't care though, they knew the real him.

Behind Gus was Mikey Blumberg. He had definitely changed. In year nine he decided that being big wasn't good for his health, so the guy went for it, started working out with Vince and ate healthier. In the end it really pulled out, and even though he wasn't really fit, he was a normal looking guy, and that was a relive for him in the end. He still loved to sing and was at Glee Club meetings three times a week.

The only person TJ couldn't see was Ashley Spinelli. He knew she was sitting behind him, because every now and then she would playfully poke his head or ruffle his half long, shaggy brown hair. When he turned around she just gave him that «you know you love me» wink and grinned at him.

And boy was she right. The only thing was, she thought it was a best friend thing. Which it is, but it doesn't quite stop there. Ever since they started High School he had had a crush on her. At first it was terrifying for him, never planning on falling for his best fricking friend. But as time went he learned to live with it. He wouldn't dare to tell her, because he was so comfortable at where they was. That friendly, but kinda flirty thing they had going was the best he could get, he guessed.

Spinelli, or Spin as about everyone and their Grandmas called her these days, had surly changed. Not too much, but of course, she had also grown up. Kinda. During middleschool she lost her fear for clothes meant for girls, She still preferred ripped, black skinny jeans, but she also owned some (badass) skirts and dresses. She had grown out her hair a bit,wore some black eyeliner and that was it. Still though Spinelli, just a bit more grown up. She had just reached a solid 5.5, which she was okay with.

Suddenly Tj was torn out of his thoughts as the bell rang and everybody cheered. End of another school year, woho. Or something like that. Tj lifted his backpack and got up. Himself reached about 5.8 over the ground and his long limbs could be kind of clumsy. His green eyes searched the hall for his friends when suddenly he caught up with them by their lockers.

«Hey Freckles, smile! Last day of school!»

Spin grinned playfull at him, and TJ couldn't help but smile back. He rolled his eyes.

«Yeah, yeah, sorry. But hey, do everybody have some time of tonight? I know there is a big party over at Lawsons tomorrow, but today nothing is planned!»

The others looked at each other, thinking out loud but in the found out they were all free for the night.

«Great! So, I thought since Judas over here is leaving us for Italy and Europe tomorrow, I thought we could have a good old fashioned movienight in my basement! Eat takeout and watch some old scary movie? You guys in?»

«Judas might consider it, if you let her pack first»

Spinelli tried to hide a smile and rolled her eyes instead.

«Okay, two things to notice here.»

Mikey looked startled.

«One, Judas was a guy, and two, he got Jesus killed, he did not just go away for a holiday, and three, JESUS Spin, do you pack in like five minutes?»

Gretchen looked at Mikey.

«Good points, but we all know that Spin will only throw what she seems in her bag, and when she gets there she'll realize she didn't pack enough and have to buy new things. AGAIN.»

«What can I say? It works!»

Spinelli started to look tired of them.

«But hey, movienight, great idea TJ!»

Gus smiled.

«Yeah, we'll be over in an hour, so maybe Spin can actually pack enough clothes too!»

Everyone, including Spinelli, laughed.

«Fine, fine, I better get started then. Can I ride with you home TJ?»

TJ felt a heat to his face at the thought of the two of them alone in his car, even tough it wasn't unusual, since they lived across the street from each other.

«Sure, come on, let's go so you can get started!»

As the whole gang was walking out of school and into the freedom of summer, TJ hoped that this would be one of the summers they would remember.

A/N: Not sure if I'm really happy with this but I'll give it a go! Please tell me what you think, but keep in mind English is not my first language, and this is my first story!

Thanks for reading!
