"What the hell do you mean you're pregnant?" I didn't mean to say it like that, but Niyah knows this is not easy. I'm not gonna be happy 'cause I'm only 17, 18 in a month, and I don't wanna have a kid now, our relationship just gets crazier every day.

"I didn't say I'm pregnant, I said I might be. And lower your voice Anabella might hear!"

"Man we're about to go to her with this right now! Ma come--" Niyah covered my mouth with her hand and stared at me.

"Don't you dare! I didn't even take the test yet!!"

"Then why do you think you're pregnant?"

"Missed period," She answered and sighed.

"Aight so, take the test, and w'ell see. I'm sorry for acting like that."

"I hope I'm not either so it's fine." Her eyes started to water and I wiped her tears kissing her cheeks softly. "If you are I will be by your side I promise."

"You're not gonna be like your best friend?"

"Stop comparing me to Chres, I'm nothing like him."

"I know baby it was a joke."

"Okay Niyah."

She kissed me softly and smiled caressing the side of my face. "I love you."

I kissed her again and wrapped my arms around her waist, "I love you too."

"Niyah it's time to go to school!!" My sister screamed running in the kitchen.

"Alright Courty lets go!" Niyah stood taking Courtney's hand and took her bag walking out. I can tell by the way Niyah is with Courtney that she'll be a great mom, but it's horrible timing. We're about to graduate and our good school reps can't just go to waste. I been planning the future forever, and this would take everything I worked for away.

But, if she is. Then I guess there will be some changes to the plan, some big changes.

-- At the end of the school day --

"Damn Brandon! You doing bad boo." I turned to see Kayla, looking like she rolled out of bed and came straight to school.

"They didn't expel your ass?"

"Nope and I know you're happy about that right?" I didn't say anything and just stared at her like she was dumb. "Anyways, I came to say wassup to my baby."

"Kayla you're really bugged, I really don't fuck with you at all."

"Is this because you got the other bitch pregnant?"

I grabbed her arm and pulled her in a corner away from people. "Where you heard that?"

"Ooh everybody talkin' 'bout it! Her nasty ass threw up last period so everybody was like 'ooh she pregnant!' But she deadass is?"

"No, and don't go spreading that either."

She smirked and started to walk away. "We'll see Brandon."

Fuck Kayla. I have bigger things to worry about, her spreading a rumor is nothing. I went to the nurse's office and saw Niyah sitting in the waiting area. I sat next to her and she opened her eyes and looked up smiling, "How'd you know I was here?"

"Kayla's nosy ass.. You going to work now?"

"Depends on the results of this test the nurse gave me."
