       Our first meeting was the Sunday before school started.  A lot of the girls asked if I felt better.   "I never saw a person throw up white," Michaela Bradshaw said.   I nodded.  "I just didn't feel good."  I looked away.  My belly was showing and it wasn't a fat girl belly, it was a pregnant belly.  They called Nan Browning first. I guess she was out at The Emporium blowing guys in the hot tub.  I felt bad for Nan,  she wasn't pretty.  She had red hair, face like an ape, and she was sort of scrawny.  She was always being made fun of because she is unattractive and I felt bad for her.   She always tried to prove herself with men,  She got restriction.  No social events for her.  She looked at me and said, "what did you do?  Fart?"  She said, "I wish."  I liked away.  

    "I don't care if I get kicked out or not," she told me.
"My mom would kill me."
"You are so pristine, so perfect.  Have you had sex?"
"Everyone has." 
"You have?"
"I have.  That is why I am here.  The reason I threw up at the retreat was I am pregnant,"
"Seriously?"

   Back then, I was on top of Johnny and he was grabbing my hips, grinding deeper into me.   Back then, I was laying in the bed, taking it from behind with Johnny and Johnny going through the back door,  I knew that first day we were together, I conceived.   She looked at me and said, "Oh, you are PREGNANT!!!"  I shook my head,  "your belly is a lot bigger.  You have baby fat.  She went in.   I waited in the hall. 

    "Restriction," she told me.  "No social events with the chapter and self respect classes with Kelli.  Good luck.  You can go in."

     I walked in and Roberta Barnard looked at me and I began to cry.  

     "Sweetheart, don't cry."
"I shouldn't have slept with him."
"Sweetheart, Jamie and I were talking  and if Johnny Depp offered to have sex with me, I'd do it.  I think that having this chick will put a lot in perspective."

    Roberta had never married.  She was who I thought I would be or still could be, unmarried for life, but I would have a child.   She was a spinster.   It was funny to hear that come out of her mouth.  "However, with rush coming up, I feel it be best you be a rush counselor rather than participate.   We want you in the chapter.   The girls who know are so excited.  Who the father is won't leave the room.  You have twenty eight babysitters.   I think you need sisters at a time like this." 

    I was shocked.   She loved to put people on restriction left and right.   I walked out feeling a little better.  

     Our first meeting was planning and we had sharing time.  I decided to come clean.  

     "Guys, the reason I was sick at our retreat is that I am pregnant.  Yes.  A few of you know who the father is, but I am pregnant and choosing to have the child,". India's beginning to cry.  A few sisters gasped.  I got lots of hugs.  "So, when you are all in Florida, I will be having a baby."   A lot of the girls didn't care, a few of them thought it was cool, and most were amazed I ever had sex.  Nan said, "She gets treated like a queen and I get restriction."   A lot of the girls asked who it was.  I would not tell.  I said, "A guy I was seeing over the summer."   However, my dad was making me call The Viper Room but Johnny was never there....
