|Weak Hero| One Night [Donald X Kingsley]

Not So Secret Now

Kingsley had stayed the night at her parents' house in her old room. Her phone was constantly buzzing the next morning since she had left her phone on vibrate mode. She was receiving numerous calls from an unknown number. She was about to block the number, thinking it was a scammer, when she received a text from the unknown number.

Unknown: 
Kingsley, why aren't you
answering my calls!?

Unknown:
Don't block me!

Unknown:
This is Jake Ji!

Unknown: 
I'm gonna try calling you
one more time!

Unknown: 
You better pick up!

Unknown: 
It's important!

Kingsley answered her phone. "What is it, Jake Ji?"

"Kingsley, did you see the post on the Shuttle Patch Forums!?"

"I don't pay attention to all that gossip and rumor. I have more important things to do like studying," 'And researching more about parenthood,'

"Someone anonymously posted several photos of you!"

"Of me doing what exactly? I haven't done anything illegal. Me drinking alcohol doesn't count since someone spiked it without my knowledge,"

"Someone posted a photo of you entering a pregnancy clinic, you inside of the pregnancy clinic and being called for your appointment, and exiting the pregnancy clinic!"

"It's not a clinic only for pregnant women. The clinic also screens for cancer, treats infections, and performs surgeries,"

"Do you think high school gossipers will care about all that!? They'll just immediately assume you're pregnant! I mean, you are preggers, but they aren't supposed to know that!"

"They don't have any proof of me actually being pregnant. If I calmly continue acting as if everything is normal, then the rumors would eventually die down,"

"It'll take a while to die down but some people won't pass up an opportunity to make someone's life a living hell!"

Donald was both shocked and furious when he saw the trending post. 'Kingsley's pregnant!?' He was shaking with rage. 'Someone slept with my—' He paused and shook his head. 'I can't claim her as my girlfriend. I didn't even confess my feelings for her. She lives with those two boys in her house. Is one of them her boyfriend? Are they both her boyfriends?'

'No, she didn't seem to be romantically involved with them. She saw them as family, not as lovers. Besides, I shouldn't believe any rumors. There's no concrete proof that Kingsley in pregnant. Unlike those gossipers, I actually think Kingsley was there for a check up or something. Ob-gyns are not only in charge of pregnancies and childbirth,'

'Kingsley also isn't the type to not have her partner use a condom or to not be on birth control if she were sexually active,'

His mind thought back to the party. 'What if Kingsley is pregnant? What if she was the girl I had slept with that night? Does that mean that I'm the father of her child?' He let out a nervous laugh. 'What am I thinking? Kingsley didn't attend my party. I wished she did, but she didn't. She doesn't like partying. So that means that I couldn't have slept with Kingsley,'

"I want to apologize in advance," Kingsley told Stephen and Gray. "It seems that someone had taken photos of me at the clinic and now rumors about me being pregnant have spread. Since you both live with me and are often seen with me, people will assume that one of you two are the father. I apologize for any trouble you have to endure because of me,"

"People won't listen, even if we all deny it," Stephen sighed. "People don't care about the facts and only hear what they want to hear,"

"The only truth to the rumor is me being pregnant, but I will play it off as another false rumor," Kingsley said. "I'm sorry that you both got caught up in my problem,"

As Kingsley entered the school Monday morning, she heard her schoolmates whispering and saw then staring and pointing at her. Kingsley remained calm and composed as she made her way to class. Once she got to her desk, she saw the words scribbled all over.

WHORE

HOE

BITCH

SLUT

PROSTITUTE

STRIPPER

Kingsley ignored the insults, sat down, and took out her supplies like she normally would if the words weren't there. 

"This bitch must be blind," A small group of girls walked over to Kingsley's desk. "Hey, since you didn't see the message, we'll kindly read them out to you,"

"You're a whore,"

"You're a hoe,"

"You're a bitch,"

"You're a slut,"

"You're a prostitute,"

"You're a stripper,"

"So," The leader of the small clique smirked smugly. "What do you have to say for yourself?"

"Buy some breath mints," Kingsley responded. "All of your breaths reek," 

"How dare you—"

"I'm not the one that's always chasing after someone who is clearly not interested in me," Kingsley pointed out, referring to how these girls were all "in love" with Donald Na.

"She's got a point," Donald spoke up as he entered. "I already admitted to liking someone, yet you fangirls are always following me around," 'Kingsley's so cool,'

"Alright everyone, settle down," The teacher finally arrived. "Let's start with role—"

"Teacher!" The leader demanded. "Kingsley Kwan should be kicked out! She's an embarrassment to the school! She's an unmarried teen but she decided to fool around with some guys and ended up pregnant!"

The teacher gave her an I-don't-give-a-fuck look. "And? So what if she's pregnant? What's that got to do with school?"

"She's an embarrassment!"

The teacher rolled his eyes. "Getting pregnant has nothing to do with class. It's not like she's having sex in the classroom. What she does on her own time is her own business. As long as she's not causing any harm to anyone, there's no problem. Why are you so invested in her private life? Is your own life that boring and lame?"

'Damn, this teacher's badass,'

"Mr. Rei, could it be that you're the father of the baby?" The clique leader tried to save face and put pressure on the teacher instead.

"Nope, because I'm not interested in her, or women in general," The teacher calmly answered. "So, if we're done with this conversation, let's go back to taking role,"

No, the teacher, Alistair Rei, isn't suspicious. He's a genuinely nice guy.
