"Marjorie Adäms lost her life last night, her family have confirmed that she took her own life. Mrs Adäms, your english teacher, will be taking time off school for obvious reasons."

My eyes widen as i turn to Bill.

He has the same look on his face as i do on mine.

I look at Tom who's clearly on the brink of crying.

"oh, Tom." I place my hand in on top of his and rub it.

He looks at us, "she's d-dead?"

I nod, "are you sad about it?"

Tom's face lights up and he starts laughing, "she's gone, the witch has gone! i can have my life back." he whispered.

"okay, weird way to grief but you do you i guess ." I replied in complete shock at his words.

The head clears her throat again, "As a memorial of Marjorie, we would like everyone to wear one of these pink bows tomorrow at the prom"
She holds up a small clip with a bow on it, "you can get these at reception. if anyone needs time to mourn, come to my office so i can send you home. Thank you all for coming."

The whole school is left in shock. I slouch back in my seat and think.

Was i really that cruel for saying 'who cares?' ?

Should i have checked up on her?

I bite my lip and pick at my nails in stress.
I turn back to Tom who's still laughing.

"okay, saying the witch is gone was cruel of me but she was using me, i deserve a right to say that." Tom exclaimed.

He, then, looks at me concerned, "yo holly, are you okay?"

Then that feeling spreads through my body again.

"i'm going to be sick!" I hold my hand on my mouth and the other one on my stomach.

I'm never going to make it to the toilets in time, fuck morning sickness is no joke.

I jump out of my chair and run out of the hall. I burst through the door and see a bin near by.

I run up to it and spew my guts out.

I choke and splutter as i hear rushed footsteps behind me.

"oh shit" I hear Bill says as he grabs my hair into a bundle keeping it out of the way.

He rubs my back and comforts me, "shh, it's okay, you're okay."

I spew out the last of my guts and stand up. I wipe my mouth and turn around.

I see Tom, Georg and Gustav all looking at me concerned.

But then Gustav's face lights up like a lightbulb.

"You are, aren't you?" Gustav looks at me with a 'i just connected all the dots face'.

"SHH!" I sigh and nod, "yes, i'm pregnant." I whisper but loud enough for both Georg and Gustav to hear.

"well shit, that wasn't on my bingo card." Georg says.

I look at him puzzled.

He laughs, "Bill gets a girlfriend and gets her pregnant, yup that wasn't never on the bingo card."

"Same here." Gustav and Tom say in sync.

Georg points at me and Bill, "so what are you two doing? are you keeping it and where are you staying?"
