What have I missed?

Chapter 28:Failing classes and unexpected news

As I walked into school I noticed a crying Eva standing with her locker open staring at her bag. Joanna and Lucy were standing either side of her rubbing circles on her back. Katherine was nowhere to be seen. I made my way over to Eva and she looked at me and continued trickling tears down her face. 

"Hey Eva what's wrong?" 

She began crying harder.

"I don't think she wants to talk about it" Joanna said with a empathetic look in her eyes. 

"No. I do. I have to, she''ll find out soon enough. Secrets cannot be kept quiet in high school and I want her to hear it from me" 

She lead me into the bathroom, and made sure we were alone before she began to speak. 

"I'm just going to go ahead and tell you.  But promise you won't judge me ok?"

"I promise" I was starting to worry. She just about stopped crying to tell me. 

"i'm pregnant." 

What?! Eva is pregant. She's 16 and pregnant. No wonder she was crying, I would be too. I feel so sorry for her. So many thoughts circulated my head but only one of them left my lips.

"Who's the father?"

"Brooklyn" 

"Does he know" This made her start crrying again. 

"No, I don't know how to tell him"

"Would you like me to do it for you" She stopped crying.

"Would you actually?"

I was starting to regret it but agreed anyway. I told her i'd speak to him at lunch and left the restroom so I wouldn't be late for physics. As I walked in our teacher was handing back tests we had done last lesson. I peered down at mine not worried. But then I realised I should be worried. I got a D! I failed a test. I never fail tests, especially not science, it was my strongest subject! This is because I had been distracted by my love life during the test.

Later on I found out I had also failed english and maths, I seriously needed to sort out who I loved so I could focus on my work!

Lunchtime came and it was time to talk to Brooklyn. I walked over to his group of friends where he was stood in the centre and was presumably telling them all a funny story by the sound of their laughing. I tapped the shoulder of a broad guy and told him I needed to talk to Brooklyn and it was important. He stared at me strangely but luckily Brooklyn overheard and walked over to me telling the other guy he knew me. 

"Hey what's up babe?" I hated him calling me babe, but right now there were more important things to discuss.

"Eva's pregnant" His face dropped.

"What?"

"She's pregnant with your child, you're going to be a father" Most people are happy to hear this kind of news, whereas Brooklyn's face looked angry.

"Why the hell did she have to go and get pregnant, I can't take care of a child" 

"it's not her fault! She didn't choose to be, she's not happy about it either"

"Well tell her to get an abortion then, because i'm not looking after this baby"

Now i was the one who was angry. I know he's only young and in high school. But i can't believe he would say that. What a jerk. 

"No. She's not going to kill her own baby, the baby will be better off without you anyway!" I screamed at him causing everyone in the hall to turn and stare at me. I didn't care though.

"Good. Tell Eva i'm breaking up with her." 

"Tell her yourself" I screamed before stomping off to find Eva. He didn't deserve Eva or her baby, he's a jerk!

Sam's point of view-

I spent the whole of lunch looking for Ashleigh. I couldn't stop thinking about our date, how I felt when I kissed her. I didn't want to ruin our friendship, but she had to know how I felt! I was in the library looking for her and spotted Ally sitting in the corner reading the hunger games. 

"Hey Ally, have you seen Ashleigh?" She looked up from her book and her eyes travelled up and down my body, taking in my appearance. She smiled and stared into my eyes. 

"No sorry, she said she had things to sort out for Eva and that's all I know"

"Ok, thanks anyway"

I'm not going to lie. I would date Ally. Everything about her is beautiful. But if i could choose her or Ashleigh, i'd choose Ashleigh.

The bell rang signalling the beginning of the afternoon classes, and I realised i'd have to find her after school to talk to her.
