Love Isn't a Choice

Progress

As I walk home I didn't answer him. By time I got to my house it was dark outside. I shut the front door and see my mom reading on the couch. Our house is pretty modern, white and black. "Hey Lenka,how was school?" she asked putting her book down. "Fine." I say sitting in the couch. "I have good news." My mom sat up and gave me her full attention.

"Machi is pregnant." My mom stared at me with large eyes. My mom loves Machi like a daughter so this might be disappointing. "That is excellent news Lenka! Does she know the gender?"

"Not sure, her and Seth will go see soon." I said. Seth is a great guy,but his parents are strict. I'm not sure how they will react with the news. "I'm going to shower then go to sleep." I told my mom going towards the stairs. "Not hungry?" she asks. I shake my head no.

"Lenka Rine, I will take you to the hospital if you don't eat." She threatened. I climb the stairs and yell back "So you keep saying!" I slam my door shut and go through the door in my room that leads to the bathroom.

I walk into my bedroom with dripping wet hair. I decide to text Yuya so it won't be awkward when I see him in school.

"Hey"

"What are you up to?"

"Nothing how about you"

"Same"

"See you at school" I said feeling nervous.

"Ya bye"

That conversation was so weird! It was so simple but I had no idea what to say. I close my eyes and fall into a deep sleep.

At school, I tell Machi about my texts with Yuya. "Maybe he was shy or nervous." she said eating food. "Y'know, the doctor told me to eat heathy food but I'm craving for junk food. Want to get something sweet?" She asks with a giant smile. We walk to a vending machine and get candy.

"Yum! Twizzlers!" Machi chews. I steal a liquorish and eat it happily. "I have trigonometry next." I rolled my eyes. "Len,next week is my last week, I know I am two months pregnant but my mom doesn't want to push me." Machi explains. I understand....kind of.

I never want children when I grow up, I decided this since I was ten. "I'm off to trig, wish me luck!" I walk off to trigonometry class with Mr.Colt.

I sit in class working on problems. Class will be over in a minute or so. "You all have homework. This packet which consists of thirty problems are due on Friday,so two days people." Mr.Colt announces. I look through the packet and sigh. Thirty problems to do in so little time.
