MAKA MORRE IS MY LADY

Popular ?

The next day, just before school, I made sure to embrace the whole bad boy vibe. Walking through the school doors to the cafeteria, I could feel everyone's eyes on me.

But the biggest surprise was Katie Richardson, the school's most popular girl, choosing to sit next to me, someone she'd normally ignore or insult. She decided to sit at my table!

I wasn't sure what was going on with Katie, but she spent the whole day clinging to my arm, showering me with compliments about how I'm her favorite guy and how no one else could ever understand our bond.

Before I changed, she barely spoke to me. Once, she even got upset just because I had to sit next to her. But now, it was as if she saw me as one of her best friends, holding onto my arm so earnestly.

And it wasn't like I would get Maka's attention, so instead, I played along with Katie. I started to date Katie. Though deep inside, I always wanted it to be Maka Morre.

And before I knew it, 2 years had gone by. I felt unfulfilled more than ever, and I knew I never loved Katie, but she was my girlfriend now, and I had to respect her.

That was until Maka and Michael broke up on prom night. And during that night, my girlfriend Katie was throwing up in the bathroom. But I went to comfort Maka instead, which led to a big fight and Katie telling me she's pregnant.

And to my response, I got scared and tried to stay clear of her. I felt like she was only trying to stop the way between me and Maka after all, that was how she used to be.

I felt a twinge of guilt for not being there, just in case it was my kid. But that guilt didn't overshadow the joy of finally being able to spend time with Maka.

And I dove headfirst into hanging out with Maka after Katie finally left me alone, I would surprise her with wild roses, walk her to class every day, and even hold her hand.

Although when Katie spotted us, she'd just turn away, choosing to ignore us and keep to herself instead of causing a scene.

Part of me felt a surge of uneasiness Katie, who would normally jump at the chance to argue, remained silent. This time, she didn't utter a single word, as if she had suddenly stopped caring!

While as Katie's pregnancy progressed, she began to connect less with her friends. It wasn't her changing appearance affecting her popularity, but rather that she had started to keep more to herself.

That turned Maka into the girl everyone adored, and once I asked her out, I suddenly became the guy everyone talked about, similar to Michael's days as a big shot in school .

But deep down, I couldn't shake off my guilt, thinking Katie might be pregnant with my baby while I was getting all the attention alongside Maka.
And as the school year went by, Katie gradually started to miss more classes, until she wasn't coming at all.

And I, of all people, knew exactly what that meant - Katie was about to have the baby, which would kick things up to a whole new level of complicated!

This only added to my panic, as I hadn't shared with Maka the possibility that Katie might be carrying my child, which, I realized, could unfortunately make me seem like I wasn't being faithful.

So I dodged Maka and dashed over to Katie's House. And when I knocked? She swung the door open, cradling a baby that was practically my mini-me!
