"What do you mean they won't let you go to prom?" Irene nearly shrieks in the middle of the busy hallway.

Jisoo slams her locker shut, she shrugs her shoulders saying, "Exactly what I said, we can't go to prom."

"But they can't do that, it's a right of passage!" Irene says, pounding her fist into the locker.

A teacher across the hall gives her a stern look. Irene juts her lip out and the teacher just shakes her head. Turning away from the rowdy teens.

"They can do whatever they want to Irene, they're in charge. Not us." Jisoo says, heading in the direction of her next class.

Irene follows close behind, like a lost puppy. Someone bumps their shoulder into Jisoo, Irene shoves them yelling, "Hey! With child over here, watch where you're going."

The freshman shakes in his sneakers, shrinking away from the senior. He squeaks out a quick sorry then runs off. Jisoo shakes her head, asking, "Was that necessary?"

Irene waves it off and continues the conversation prior, "Jisoo, you're not going to let them get away with this are you?"

Jisoo shrugs, answering, "I don't know, my parents want to sue."

"As they should," Irene says.

The two reach Mr. Lee Minho's classroom. They stop outside the door to finish their conversation.

"I don't know, to be honest I really don't care all that much, I mean yeah it sucks, but I have more important things to worry about now." Jisoo says, shrugging her shoulders again.

"Look, I'll support you however you want, but if you aren't going to prom, then I'm not going to prom," Irene says adjusting her bag on her shoulder.

"Please don't do that, I couldn't live with myself if I ruined prom for you. I know how excited you are for it." Jisoo says shaking her head.

The bell rings, Irene scuffs her shoes against the floor.

"It's okay Jisoo, it'd be worth it. I don't think I'd have fun if you weren't there." She says.

Jisoo nods, she pinches her brows together before clasping Irene on the back.

"Thanks Rene."

Irene nods, scurrying off to her next class. Jisoo sighs, walking in she rubs her belly, the baby has been really active lately, almost to the point of painful.

Jisoo takes her seat next to Roseanne, who rubs Jisoo's back gently, she places a kiss to her cheek. Jisoo sighs.

"What's wrong?" Roseanne asks.

"I don't know, this whole situation is just stressing me out." Jisoo replies leaning against Roseanne's side.

"I have to agree, our parents are taking this a little too extreme." Roseanne says. "How's the baby?"

Jisoo grins, she places Roseanne's hand on her belly where the baby wriggles.

"Active," she says with a smile.
