Three Is The Lucky Number

Hope's POV:

Well, I am not looking forward to going to church mostly because I'm supposed to get baptized this Sunday and I'm really not looking forward to hearing my parents go wild over their daughter finally cleansing the sin from her body. Anyways, I am currently at school with the little fake baby in the car seat next to my seat. Penelope, Josie, MG, and I are just talking to ourselves, waiting for our first class to start, the teacher tends to show up late from time to time but it's not like any of us are really complaining. 

"Yo, H," MG speaks.

"Yeah?"

"So, I'm thinking for Home Ec since you and I are now partners we gotta figure out this schedule to make this whole baby thing even you know what I mean,"

"Yes, I understand. We can probably talk about it during Home Ec," I respond. 

"Aight, bet. Now Penelope I wanted to ask you.."

I turn back around and just kind of zone out, thinking about my parents, and my now girlfriends. Plural. Meaning I have more than one, that on it's own is a wonder. I am so confused on everything that has transpired since the beginning of the school year. From having absolutely no one to now being in a relationship with two of the hottest girls in the school, and having a good friend that has been nothing of a joy to have around ever since he got here. 

It's all so overwhelming, especially for someone like me. Never in my life did I think this would happen to me, Hope Chandler. The schools number one loser. Though now I don't feel like such a loser, I feel like a human. A human with people who do care. I guess a part of me always hoped it would be my parents, but here we are and I am hopelessly (pun intended) gone to the people I now have in my life. 

The teacher walks into the classroom with her hair up in a claw clip and a Starbucks drink in her hand, obviously trying to get over a fun night with the way her eyes are hooded. Either way I try to get through the lesson as quickly as possible, waiting for that bell to ring urging us to be on our way through the day. 

Well, I make it all the way to lunch without a problem from Rafael and his posse, well you know until I finally sit down with MG. That's when I hear the laugh coming closer with every second. 

"Well, here we go. Hopey with her new little boyfriend, and I thought I would have to be dead when I saw something like this. I mean what do you even see in any of that?"

"Not that it's any of your business, but Hope and I are just friends and I would much rather have one really good friend then a thousand fake friends. You know I bet all of your friends would sell you out in a heartbeat for some good pussy or dick I don't discriminate," MG smirks at the last part. 

It brings a small smile to my lips at his statement, especially since Rafael looks like smoke is spewing from his ears. 

"How dare you!" Rafael gets to the other side of the table to, what it seems to lay into the both of us. 

"Mr. Waithe!" 

The three of our heads turn to the voice, Ms. Cavalier. Penelope and Josie now coming up to the group, looking utterly satisfied at the look on Rafael's face. Well, now I'm sure they had something to do with this. 

"What is the meaning of this, I've heard some troubling things about you. So I decided to take a look at your grades and by the looks of things you are not meeting the academic standards to play football. So, unless you clean all of this up by.." she glances at her nonexistent watch " right now I will have to make a call home, is that something you want, Mr. Waithe?"

"Uh, no."

"Good, now if you'll excuse me I have a show to keep watching for my break," She says before whipping herself around and walking out of the cafeteria.
