"Come on, I'll drive you to the shops" Charlotte called after me. "Meet me at my locker once you've gotten your bag."

"Yeah, course" I said, walking over to my own locker, putting in my combination. Hayden appeared next to me, and I frowned. "I'm not catching the bus. I'm going to get my nails done with Charlotte. She feels that she needs to get them done to impress this new guy."

Hayden laughed. "A new guy? Luke only broke up with her a few days ago."

"I know right" I said, grabbing my bag and resting it on my shoulder. Mr Johnson walked up to us, and I frowned. "What is it this time? My wrists turning you on?"

"You're so sassy, lord help me" Hayden said, letting out a loud laugh.

Mr Johnson rolled his eyes. "Just wanted to let you know that you've been selected for the debating team."

"Oh" I said, frowning. "No thank you, I'm really busy at the moment, and I don't have enough will to fight anyone else."

Sir mumbled something about stupid kids, walking off, and I turned back to Hayden. "I'll see you later. Hope I don't die."

"Hey, at least it's not a third wheel date" he said, shrugging. "You coming to mine after?"

I nodded. "Yeah, I'll be there."

"I'll order pizza" he replied. "Hopefully my mum doesn't call you bulimic again."

"Okay, stop holding me up, you dork" I said, laughing and walking away. I walked over to Charlotte's locker. "Hey, you ready to go?"

"Yeah, just let me do my makeup real quick" she said, whipping open her locker. She took out her makeup bag, and started reapplying her lipstick and mascara. I sighed. This was going to be a long afternoon.

"So what school does he go to?" I asked Charlotte, not enjoying the way the nail artist was stroking my fingers.

She shrugged. "I don't know. I probably should've asked, but it was in the moment."

"Fuck, Charlotte, did you sleep with him?" I asked, groaning. She had really screwed it up this time.

"I didn't mean to, it just happened" she said, biting her lip.

A sudden thought hit my head like a truck. "Shit. Did you use a condom?"

"No, I'm on birth control" she said, rolling her eyes. Her eyes widened. "Fuck! I haven't taken my birth control pills in weeks! Oh my god, I'm pregnant! We need the day after pill!"

"Shh, calm down, people are looking at us" I said, softly. There was no point in freaking out. She may not have even gotten pregnant. "You can't just take a day after pill. It's been three days since you had sex with him."

"Yeah, you're right" she said slowly. Her eyes started watering. "Do you think he was just in it for the sex?"

I shrugged. "How am I supposed to know? Guys these days will do anything for sex."

"Okay, I'm depressed now" she said, tears leaking from her eyes. She shook her head. "I'm gonna get my daddy to let us ride his boat tonight."

I shook my head. "Can we do it tomorrow? I'm actually busy tonight."

"Sure" she said, nodding. "What are you busy with?"

I felt the need to lie, and I wasn't sure if that was a bad or good thing. "My dad wanted to hang out with me. Have some father daughter time, you know how it is."
