Dance Floor High (BOTDF and BVB Fan Fic)

chapter 12

"Why are we doing this?" Marissa asked Ashley in the staff bathroom.

"Because we love each other," he replied

"But at school? Isn't it kinda risky?"

"Yeah. But that's what makes it more fun."

As they were having sex, the doorknob rattled, and the door began to open.

"You didn't lock the door?" Marissa whispered to Ashley.

"I thought you did," he whispered back.

As the door opened, Marissa and Ashley scrambled to get somewhat dressed. But it was too late. Mr. Stars was standing in the open doorway as Ashley and Marissa sat naked on the floor.

"What the-? You two! To my office as soon as you get some clothes on!" he said angrily.

"Yes, Mr. Stars," Marissa said quietly.

Marissa and Ashley walked to Mr. Stars' office, and Marissa was so terrified as to what was going to happen. She'd never gotten in trouble at school. Never. They entered his office and sat down in front of his desk

"What, in God's name, were you two thinking?!" Mr. Stars said. "Sex? On school grounds! You both know that's prohibited! I should have you suspended for this!"

"Mr. Stars! No, please!" Marissa begged.

"But I won't. You are two of my best students, so I'll let you off with a warning."

Marissa and Ashley let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Mr. Stars. You won't regret it. I promise, it'll never happen again," Marissa said.

"You're right. It won't because you two are not allowed to leave class without a staff or police escort," he said.

"What?! You can't do that to us!" Ashley protested.

"Would you rather be suspended, Mr. Purdy?"

"No, sir."

"Now," Mr. Stars said, "is there anything else you'd like to say to me before I send you both back to class?"

It's now or never, Marissa thought.

"I'm pregnant," she blurted out.

"Marissa, no. You can't be. You're my best student. How did this happen? I mean, I know how it happened; just why?" His tone was very solemn and concerned, he didn't sound mad at all.

"We weren't careful," she said. "We forgot; didn't think about it. I'm sorry."

"Are you going to keep it?" he asked.

"Yes. We're keeping her, and raising her, and we're going to be a happy, little family," she said

"Marissa, it doesn't always work that way for teen moms. Besides, how are you going to pay for college if you're raising a baby?"

"Scholarships," she simply said. "I've already got an $82,000 scholarship from Adrian for the four years. And my first year's already paid for. Ashley's going to Business School to major in Marketing and Advertising, and that costs a lot less than a private college."

"But still... You two are so smart, you should have been able to stop this before it happened."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Stars. I feel like I've let you down."

"Oh, Marissa. You haven't let me down. You just showed me that nobody's perfect. Congratulations and good luck with your baby. I know you'll be great parents."
