Recess: School's Out

chapter 3

The group then hid in the bushes and popped their heads out, looking at the school.

"There it is." TJ told them all.

"And there was something weird about it," Brianna added. "Trust me, I wouldn't lie."

"Like, what the heck are they doing?" Ashley A asked.

"Maybe they're gangsters?" Mikey guessed.

"Or aliens." Gus added.

"Aliens?" Spinelli glanced at him. '"They don't look like aliens."

"Well, maybe they're in disguise?" Gus said.

"Yeah, if you were an alien, you wouldn't just walk around in your lizard skin all day." Mikey added.

"Hmm... Good point." Spinelli admitted.

"Well, whoever they are, we need to take a closer look." TJ said.

"Be careful." Brianna told her younger cousin.

"Relax, Bri, we do this kind of stuff all the time." TJ told her.

Brianna and Trent just looked at each other and shrugged. Two men loaded up a van and closed it. Little did they know, the Recess gang came together and were being stealthy like spies themselves, including Brianna and Trent.

"This almost reminds me of when The Killer Bass snuck food away when Chef took over for the week." Trent commented.

"I heard that Duncan and Courtney were the ones." Brianna said.

"Back when they had a thing for each other." Trent memorized.

"Man, this thing weighs a ton..." Vince grunted as he set the crate down.

"That's 'cuz it's full of moon rocks and alien aids!" Gus said.

"I doubt it, but let's find out." Trent said as he brought out a crowbar to open up the crate.

It turned out to be a bunch of papers and other supplies.

"Weather Maps?" Vince asked.

"Test Scores?" Brianna asked.

"Some stuff written in Swedish?" Ashley A asked.

"Acutally, that's Norwegian." Gretchen corrected.

"Whatever," Spinelli replied. "It's just dumb school stuff."

"You got me out of Baseball Camp just to watch some guys restock the supply room?" Vince glared at TJ.

"No, something's going on at the school, I swear!" TJ told him.

"You know what I think, Teej?" Spinelli glared with her hands on her hips. "I think you cooked all of this up just 'cuz you wanted us back from camp!"

"Hey, listen, we saw it too!" Brianna glared back. "Don't you believe us?"

"Hey, we understand, it must be pretty boring for TJ all summer by himself." Mikey said.

"Your minds simply created an adventure because it needed some excitement." Gretchen added.

"No, it really happened!" TJ defended. "We saw Prickly disappear!"

"Well, if Prickly disappeared, then who's that?" Gus asked as he pointed towards the school.

"What?" Trent looked confused. "But that's impossible, he disappeared on us!"

"Come on, guys, let's get back to camp." Vince suggested to the others.

"Yeah, see ya in a few weeks, Teej." Spinelli added.

The others soon walked away, feeling betrayed by their best friend. Ashley A looked at TJ briefly before she followed the others.
