Tj walked inside school the next day, he felt horrible but he swallowed it down, it was just some dumb promise. He didn't know who all went, he was only positive on one person.

Somehow at the end of the day he ended up at 3 Street School but he wasn't the only one. Vince and Gretchen were yelling at each other while Mikey just sat there, ignoring them. He sighed and made his way over to all of them.

They were to injusted in their own things to realize he was even there. He cleared his throat loadly making them snap their necks towards him, "I'm guessing you never showed up yesterday." Tj said making them look away guilt placing their features.

"I know you didn't because I was at your party yesterday." Vince said to Tj.

"I know who did go, see I found this in front of my house, it belongs to-"

"Spinelli, I saw her here yesterday." A voice came from behind them.

"So you came, Gus?" Gretchen asked.

"I go by Gustav now and no, I remembered last minute and ran here. I saw someone leaving and found a cigarette, did some research and figured out it was Spinelli."

"Great, now that we have that all sorted out, I'm just going to go." Tj said, staring to walk off.

Gus grabbed onto his jacket collar to keep him from moving, "We need to apologize to Spinelli first."

"Gus- Gustav is right, we kinda ditched her and we owe her an apology." Vince added.

"This is Spinelli we're talking about! And I don't feel like getting a black eye right now!" Tj complained, pulling away from Gus's grip before fixing his jacket.

"Actually it has seemed that we've all changed since we last talked to each other." Gretchen said before bringing her glasses back up her face.

"We were all friends once, including Spinelli, and if we don't apologize the guilt will tear at us from us and our souls will be tainted with darkness..." Mikey breathed out poetically.

"Fine let's go to her house, for the first time I'm glad it's close to mine so I don't have to walk that far." Tj snapped as they made their way to Spinelli's old house.

When they arrived, Gus knocked before taking a step back. The door opened, an elderly woman stood before them, her grey hair in a tight bun and she had huge glasses.

"Can I help you kids?" She asked her voice soft.

They gave each other confused looks before Gretchen asked, "Um yes, does an Ashley Spinelli live here?"

"I'm sorry but no one by that name lives here," She looked away in deep thought, "Except, I think that's who we bought the house from, such a sad girl."

"Do you by any chance know where she could be?" Gus asked.

"No, she didn't say much, just the prices and we could have most of the furniture if we needed it..."

"I'm sorry we wasted your time, thank you." Gus said before they left.

"So I guess this is it?" Vince said except he, along with everyone else, still had a hollow, guilty feeling inside.

"No, I know a guy, if he doesn't know where Spinelli is then no one does." Gus said making the others give him a confused look.

"How do you know? We haven't talked in years." Tj asked as they followed him.

"I did my research."
