Danger // J.N

Chapter 18

Anna's POV.

I sit in the student lounge, working last minute on homework. Since Jace came over, I obviously didn't finish my English work.

I'm surprised that someone actually told the school I'm pregnant. Why would they do that? Why do they have such an interest in my life? What's interesting about it?

Jace: lol apparently I'm your baby daddy

I stand up and put my homework in my bag. I grab my phone and speed walk out of the lounge. I walk to the door to the patio, where everyone goes for lunch.

I sit on a bench and cross my legs. I quickly call Jace.

"How's the pregnancy?"

"Jace, shut up. What's going on now?"

"Some asshole told the school we fucked and I got you pregnant," He says. I roll my eyes.

"Where'd you hear it? Like who was the first person you heard it from?"

"That kid that sits behind me in history. Him and his friends were giving me shit about it. I told them that it's not true."

"Did they get it?"

"No." He snickers. I smile. "This is stupid. I'm so done with that school," I say, wiping my eye. I still have eye-crusts from the lack of sleep I get.

"Oh yeah, I talked to my mom about transferring. She said she's gonna call your school," He says. I smile. "Yay! That's great," I say.

"I gotta go. I'll text you," He says. I nod. I hang up.

I stand up and walk to class.

After school, Brittaney and I sit outside. We have announcements for the last ten minutes of school. It's optional to go. Basically the principal just tells us if there's any events or something special.

Jace texts me.

Jace: apparently you're a month pregnant.

I squint my eyes.

Anna: tf I haven't even known you for a month 😂

Jace: true 😂😂😂

"So there's this rumor going around my old school that I'm pregnant," I say. Brittaney laughs. "For real?"

I nod. "My boyfriend has been asked like a million questions today. It's hilarious," I say. She laughs.

"You have a boyfriend?" She asks. I nod. "Oooohhh. Can I see?"

I look at my phone and go to my camera roll. I find a picture of us together. I show her. Her eyes widen.

"You're dating danger?"

My heart drops. Oh god, not another friend lost because I date a guy who's a criminal.

"Y-Yeah."

She smiles. "Okay, I went to school with him in freshman year, I wanted to date him so badly." She says.

I smile.

"You're not gonna judge me for dating him? Even though he's a criminal?"

She shakes her head. "If he was a rapist or did something that's extreme, I'd judge you. But only for your safety. But he just robs places, it's not that big of a deal," She says.

FINALLY. SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS.

"Thank you. You're the only person who hasn't given me shit for dating him," I say. She giggles. "It's chill. Y'all are cute together."
