Reapers' Daughter

11: Back To School

"No!" Kenny yelled. "I got switched." He pouted. "I don't want to be with that old man. He looks at me creepily."

"Don't worry," I said. "I'm sure it will be great."

"Too bad, Andrew doesn't go to school," I forgot to mention. Andrew is older his 20 and doesn't go to school.

"Hope you right," Kenny groaned. "So who you left the baby with?"

"My mother," I said. "Only for today, don't know who I can leave her with."

"I see," he skipped over to his locker. "So is Riley still living with you all?"

"Yeah," I said. Even after the little accident, Riley stayed. I don't know how long, but I want him gone.

He's not even anyone son; I am not sure how he fooled everyone even my dear father.

"Hate that dude," Kenny said. "Oh eek, hey you!" He waved. I looked back, Anthony. I blushed like crazy.

"Hey," he pecks my lips.

"Hey," I whisper. Don't know why it came out like that.

"Let's go," Kenny said. We follow him out to the courtyard. We sat under the tree.

"How's Ceres?" Anthony asked.

"She's fine," I said.

She's two months now. And she's a handful. A bundle of joy.

"So guys," Kenny smiled. "During the summer. We should go to the lake and have like a campout. Stay out there for a few days, wouldn't it be fun."

"Yeah," I said. "This will be Ceres first summer."

"Eek, I can't wait," Kenny said. "Bought her a swimsuit."

"I knew it," I said.

The bell rang. We stood up and headed to our classes.

"See you after school," Anthony said kissing me this so weird, even if I know who he is, it's still strange to me.

I entered the classroom and sat in my usual seat. I had all my classes still same as last semester. And seem like Kendra was still in this class. English. As we listen to the teacher, I doodle in my notebook. There wasn't much to do. Just doing an exam to get our memory refresh. I fished first like always.

"So, I see you ain't pregnant anymore," Kendra said loud enough for everyone to here.

"Yeah, I know," I said. "I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl. More beautiful than you."

"Shut up," Kendra said. "Who knows who the daddy is. Probably some homeless person."

"Kendra!" The teacher stood up. "I suggest you take your seat. And apologize."

"What but," Kendra growled. "Sorry." Isn't it lovely when you're related to a teacher? Well, his not my relative. But his Andrews. I found out his uncle a teacher here and met him before school started.

Smiling, I continue to doodle. I looked out the window and gasp. There was someone out there it can't be Anthony? Could it? But then Anthony walked up to the person. They seem to be having a discussion. I looked back down at my notebook and back outside, but they were gone. I'll have to ask him later.

When it was time for lunchtime, I couldn't find him. "Where is Anthony?" I asked Kenny. "You haven't seen him have you?"

"Saw him in my last class, said he had something to do," Kenny said. I frowned. Where could he be?

"You almost got me in trouble," Kendra said.

"Go away," Kenny said. "No one likes you."

"Shut up," Kendra said. "And all because the teacher, is your boyfriend uncle."
