Worst Night Mare : That wasn’t me!

I sat in my last exams of the year, tapping my pen on the table in a steady rhyme. From where I was sat I could see the whole room, being I was in the far right corner of the giant sports hall. I still had half an hour of the test to go even though I already ready finished. Cooper who was sat at the front chewing the end of his pen eyes glazed over like he was a sleep. In the last month we had become really good friends once again. The other end of the first row sat Mary staring out the window she was sat in front of. Actually as I glanced round other than Katie Southgate the nerd of are Biology set who was scribbling on endless pieces of paper, was finish.

Tomorrow was the last day of school for both my year and Dan’s, and the plays opening night, and I was ready to burst since I was actually now three days after my due date, but I was hoping to go to the play. I felt uncomfortable most of the time at the moment, since I was massive, and having to still walk around. I started doodling words on the edge of the small brown table, and without realising it I was writing baby names. Dan and I still hadn’t discussed baby names deciding it would be easier to decided once the baby was born.

But that did stop Chris, Tiffney, Tasha, Ian and Ann talking about it on the phone most of the time. Even though most people would have thought I was crazy I was actually glad that the baby hadn’t come on its due date because I did think I was ready to be a mother, no matter how excited I was, I still didn’t think I was ready. I looked at the three names I had drawn into the table to see ‘Carl’, ‘Freddy’ and ‘Tom’ as you could probable tell I was confident that it was a boy. For some reason I knew it was, I could feel it somehow.

Then before I knew it I heard the examiners voice, “Pens down” all the people who had been day dreaming like me or dozing lightly like Brad Williams three rows away from me shot to attention waiting for the nod which says are row could go. “Please make sure your name is on the top of your paper and put it to the right of your tables” I slide my filled answer paper to the right of my table waiting for the overweight examiner to collected it at a snail’s pace, I swear the lady was walking the slowest she possible could so we would just be stuck in this room even longer.

Finally she let my row go, and I hurled myself out of the chair with a lot of difficulty and moaning from my knees. I waddled towards the door of the room, along the aila between tables not trusting my belly to not get stuck between the back of a chair and the table behind. When I reached the door it was to find my smiling boyfriend, Dan stood there. He took my pencil case out of my hand and linked are fingers together with the other. “All done” I smiled at him as he kissed my forehead, I took a sharp breath as my knees once again complained about the extra weight I was making them carry around.

And I saw concern flash across Dan’s eyes, I knew how much it pains him to see me in pain and not be able to help me in any way. I tried to smile to reassure him, but I didn’t think it worked because only more concern flooded his eyes. He squeezed my hand then started to slowly lead me towards the canteen just as my stomach grumbled with hunger making him chuckle softly, with adoration and love clear in his eyes. I grinned back and he lead me the rest of the way.

I eased myself slowly on to the bench at the table, opposite Zander who smiled kindly at me. As Chad and Dan went off to get us lunch, since I couldn’t stand in the queue long enough. “Did you hear?” asked Zander as soon as I got into a comfortable position “Hear what?” I asked rubbing my left knee which had dull pain still in it. “About my mum and your dad?” my head snapped up to him to quickly making me rub the back of it. I had seen my dad the night before and I was going to his house tomorrow for the day after school to spend it lying on the coach looking after Jamie. “What?” I said with raised eyebrow, very interested in what Zander was going to say next. “They went on a date” I felt my eyes widen and then a frown came over my face, why hadn’t my dad told me he would have known that I would have been happy for him. “When?” I said he shrugged “Mum only told me this morning, she seemed really happy about it” I smiled “Good for them” he smirked back and nodded “Little weird isn’t?” he said looking up at the ceiling. I laughed “Yeah maybe a bit” but we both grinned at each other as the other two boys came back.
