Hallie grace holland used to not mind maths until her old teacher quits and there is a new one brought in. Hallie hated this man so much and this man hated her. Everyday she had maths and everyday she dreaded going in because of the hatred between h...
I woke up to my alarm blearing in my ear. Not the best thing in the word. It's annoying and irritating. I slowly got up and went to the bathroom but its weird i had that spotting of period yesterday but it wasn't a lot but after that it stopped. Weird. I brush my hair and teeth and wash my face. I add a light amount of make up and i feel really bloated and to be honest i feel it too. I got changed into:

Then i head downstairs. I do my normal morning routine and say my goodbyes and head into school. I get a text off Robert to meet him behind the school which i found dodgy but i did anyway. I see him standing there with a woman. The woman i seen the other day at the house.
"Hiya miss holland i just want to introduce you to my wife mrs susan downey" he says.
He didn't just- did he?
"Uh hi" i say very confused.
"Oh Hallie i have heard so much about you. Some good things but apparently you can be a bitch. Don't go pissing this hunk off he wont like it" she says placing her head on his shoulder.
The bell goes off before i could speak. Saved by the bell.
"Lovely meeting you mrs Downey. Later dickhead" i say to Robert.
I walk off and i feel the tears burning my eyes. He said he had an ex wife but i thought ex means broke up not still together. Wait does that mean- i was caught out of my thoughts when i started being sick. It just flew right out of me. Someone smooths my back and when i look it was zen.
"Hey girlie are you alright?" She asks.
"Ugh i don't even know if I'm being honest. Im confused" i say.
"Come on come to class you can speak to me in there" she says.
She hooks her arm to mine and we walk into the building and into his class and there he was sitting at his desk with susan wrapped around his arm.
"What the fuck is going on?" Tom mouths to me.
I shrug and sit at the back. I really didn't want to be here. I have so many questions for him. Why? After what happened with me telling my parents and now he decides he wants her back. No this is. No.
"Good morning class. I would like to introduce you to my wife. Mrs downey. She will be working alongside me and mr ruffalo giving you all the support you need" Robert says.
"First i have heard of it mr downey and it looks like hallie is just as confused as me" mr Ruffalo says with hatred in his voice.
"Yes it's confusing but we will get used to it" Robert says.
"Uh sorry can i go to the toi-" before i could finish i felt myself wanting to be sick again so i rush out the door.
I burst through the toilet doors and i was sick in the toilet. Zen rubbed my back and stayed there until i stopped.
"Hals when was the last time your period was?" Zen asks.
"Im not sure. Yesterday i had spotting but nothing major it was one long drop. tmi i know" i say with a light laugh.
"Is it possible you could be pre-" she starts.
"Dont say it. I dont think i am. We use protection all the time" i say.
"Well its worth a check. And who the fuck is this chick. He is married and never told you?" Zen says wanting to kill.
"I knew he had an ex wife but thats it. I dont even care anymore he can fuck off. I knew it wasn't gonna work out between us anyway because he is older" i say.
"Thats no excuse. Anyway you should take a test hals just to be on the safe side" she says.
"Come after school with me to get one?" I ask.
"Yeah of course" she says with a slight smile.

The day goes quite quickly to be honest but i was now sat in his class. I was absolutely shitting myself what if i was pregnant? Its his baby. I haven't had sex with anyone else. If i am pregnant i wont tell anyone obviously zen will know. Fingers crossed i ain't pregnant. I want to apply for nursing course after the school year and how will i have the time to do that when i have a baby. Ugh. I hope i dont.
The bell goes off and Robert points his finger to sit down so i stay seated. Everyone leaves and its just me and him in the class.
"Thought ex meant ex for a reason" i say harshly.
"Yeah well she is an ex. Theres nothing beetween us. She just wants a job and she knows something about me that nobody else does. She told me to say she was my wife for a few months then it will stop" he says.
"No Robert you are lying. I know you want her back. The way you were talking with her and everything. No need to bullshit. Its over Robert no more of this shit. I hope you will be happy" i say.
"Look its not what it looks like. I want to explain hallie i really do but i cant. Not yet. Not until a couple of months" he says.
"Okay whatever. See you around mr downey" i say,
I walk out of the class and go to my car. I cried. Ugh i hate men i hate boys. Actually i hate people. Give me a world of dogs. I texted zen saying i was going to hers and she said she had two tests from her mother. Her mother is lovely so she and i get along.
I arrive there and i was greated by them and we sat down.
"zen said your symptoms. Who would be the dad?" Claire zens mother asks.
"Uh my teacher actually mr downey. Its complicated. I dont want him as the dad if it does come back possitive. His ex wife is back in his picture and i think they want eachother back. Of course i want him but he says she knows something and wants to fake the relationship for a couple of months and she wont say anything. Its complicated" i say with tears.
"I know its hard. You might be pregnant but if you are dont worry you have your family and friends to care and help you hals" claire says.
"Yeah i know its just what am I supposed to say to him. Oh yeah its your kid but i dont want you involved" i say.
"Not exactly just say yeah its yours. Help out and let him be involved. He would be the dad. I know you probably dont want that but hals we need to do whats best. Now go and take them tests and come back down" claire says,
I nod and take the tests into the toilet and place them into the cups. I take them back out and zen hugs me. I was a bag of nerves for these few minutes and zen was holding onto my hand.
"Its time hals" claire says.
I take the two test out and they were both possible. So i cried. Like the baby that was gonna be growing inside of me. Why is life so complicated.
