I'm Pregnant {Riley Matthews}

9/Swollen Throat

It was the last week of school. The secret was kept between me and Farkle. Lucas and I went on 3 dates to the movies. All of them were horrible. He was planning on taking me somewhere on the last day of school, and I wasn't excited.

He was spending every second with me when I just wanted to be alone. I felt bad, all he wanted was for me to be happy, I just didn't want it.

The notes in and on my locker were disappearing, but Smackle and Zay would give me dirty looks and talk crap to me. I normally wouldn't pay attention, only when they would trip me and I would have to drop my books to save my stomach. I would purposely fall on my butt instead. I didn't want to loose my baby.

Farkle seemed to be avoiding me. Nothing new.

Maya wasn't even at school. I would look at her seat and she wasn't there. I was hoping it wasn't my fault, but it probably was.

It was our last testing day. The past three days we were tested on Science (Farkle aced that one), Math and English. We also had a Spanish test. I was doing pretty well.

These tests were very important. I need to make it to high school.

I had gotten all B's so far and Farkle got all A's. My child would be smart, if Farkle ever talked to me or them again.

I only had three things on my mind when I stepped into the cold building on my last day of school: Farkle, Maya and my mother. Tonight, I am going to get them back. I need them.

I could care less if Zay, Smackle and Lucas were in my life. They didn't help me. They bullied me and made my life miserable. I had a feeling Lucas was in on Zay and Smackle's plan, asking me to date him only 2 seconds into the date.

I stepped inside the classroom and Maya was sitting in her usual seat. She was here! I wanted to drop my stuff, yell peaches, and hug her. But when she turned to me my heart sunk. Her eyes were narrowed and filled with hatred. Her face was red too. Tear-stained. I wasn't sure what was wrong. Farkle and I were over now. She knew this. She wasn't blind. She could have him.

I sat down and she turned to me. Her voice was croaked, her throat was swollen.

"R-Riley, I'm s-sorry, I s-shouldn't have d-done that. My m-mom she-"

"Alright class, are we ready to learn?" My father interrupted. Maya bit her lip and turned to him. What about her mother? I almost dozed off as my father talked about the importance of state tests and how we need to follow the rules of our history one and blah blah blah. 

He placed the packet in front of me and rolled my eyes. As I stared off, daydreaming, my stomach was suddenly filled with pain. It felt like someone had stabbed it. I could feel my puke. It was coming out any minute. 

As a blew chunks over my desk, I found myself sitting in the back seat of my mom's van. I hadn't gotten Maya back, or Farkle. I didn't even find out what Maya was talk about. I wasn't ever going to see Farkle this summer, he was too mad. I might see Maya. 

"Mom, I-" 

"Honey. You have been acting weird since March. Please tell me what is going on with you. I am here for you to talk too. You can trust me." I stared at her eyes. I knew it was time to tell her. 

"Mom, I'm pregnant."
