Bethany Carrington is a junior in high school. She's a great student, she has really good taste in fashion, she even has the "perfect" boyfriend or so she thought. She also has a brother named Josh who is a year older. He has a best friend named B...
I wake up and start running water for a nice warm shower. Luckily this morning I haven't been needing to rush to the bathroom to tosh cookies lately. I read that as you near the end of your first trimester morning sickness starts to end so hopefully it stops soon. Homecoming is in one week and I have my dress picked out. I gained a little more weight and I'm only going to begin showing more and more which mean I have to tell everyone soon. I'm planning on telling them after homecoming. Anyway I wash my hair and body in the shower before wrapping a towel around me and heading into my room to get dressed. I put on a flowy white top, tribal print shorts, a long necklace with a blue stones at the end, a gold bracelet, and black sandals.

I dry my hair and straighten it before putting mascara and eyeliner on. I look in the mirror to make sure my bump isn't visible before going downstairs for breakfast. When I reach the kitchen mom and Josh are sitting at the table eating pancakes. I walk over to the fridge and get a yogurt and a glass of orange juice. Over the last week I've been keeping track of types of food I can and can't keep down.
"Where's Blake? He's usually here" I ask
"He said he needed to take care of some things but he'll meet me at school" Josh says
"Ohh" I say "Just making sure because we're supposed to be working on our project after school today" I continue
"Ok" he says before going back to his food
A horn beeps and I gather my things before going outside and getting in Aaron's car. For the last week he's been giving me rides to and from school since we're a thing now. When we get to school he parks and walks me to my locker before going to his own.
"Hey" Ash says from beside me
"Hey" I say as I open my locker
"Does anyone know yet?" she asks
"No" I say getting my books "But I'm running out of time I'm gaining more and more weight. Luckily I have a lot of loose clothes to hide my bump"
"Is it bad?" she asks
I turn towards her and her eyes flicker down to my stomach before looking back up at me.
"It's not that bad" she says "It just looks like you're bloating and getting your matured body"
"It looks like I'm gaining weight and people are going to start to notice" I say quietly "Including Blake and Aaron"
"You haven't told Aaron?" she gasps
"No I just wanted to spend more time together but whenever I go to his house his mom asks me these questions like she suspects something"
"So you think his mom knows?"
"Yes and if she knows she's had to said something to Aaron so he may know too"
"Why can't you just come out and say it?"
"I'm waiting until after homecoming to tell them" I shrug "Besides I can't just go to my mom and brother and say 'oh yea did I mention that I'm pregnant and the father is Blake because we had a drunken one night stand'?"
"True" she says "Do you know how you're going to tell them?"
"Absolutely no idea" I say "On the bright side I'm 10 weeks and my morning sickness is starting to go away"
"And homecoming is next week" Ashley squeals
"Yea that too" I say as I see Blake walking down the hallway
I watch him as he stops in front of me.
"So my place after school? For our project. I'll give you a ride home after" he says
"Ok" I say
He walks off and every girl in the hallway watches his retreating back disappear in the crowd. I turn around and close my locker before walking off to class. All day long I have trouble focusing on the lessons and end up dozing off or thinking about my baby.
When the school bell rings I jump out of my seat and walk out the the parking lot to Blake's car where he's standing. Once he sees me he unlocks his doors and gets in. He drives to his house and we walk up to his room and start working on our project.
"So we need to pay all the bills and save money but also have enough to last until the next paycheck" I say
"Already on it" he says "we should at least save $50 per week and have at least $100 to last until the next paycheck so we can take that away from our budget then split the rest up for bills"
"Great idea" I say
We work on our project for 2 hours before pulling the plug. He drives me home as promised but before I can exit the car he slams his lips into mine. I instantly pull away in shock and hurriedly walk inside the house. I call Ashley and tell her what just happened and she tells me to not tell Aaron yet and to figure things out before I do so.
I sit down on my bed and rub my stomach while trying to relax. Suddenly my phone goes off and Aaron's name flashes on the screen.
"Hello" I say
"Hey" he says "so my cousin's wedding is in a few days would you like to go with me?"
"I'd love to" I say
"Ok I'll pick you up around 3 then" he says
"Sounds like a plan" I laugh before hanging up
For the rest of the day I lounge around the house in some sweats and an oversized sweater that hides my bump very well.
Author's note: I'm sorry this is a short chapter and it's mainly just a filler chapter but Blake kissed Beth omg what do you guys think she'll do about it??and homecoming is only one week away how will she tell her mom?
