Mr. Summer's Suprise

Chapter 8.

It was now 6:00 Wednesday morning. I was just finishing up getting ready for my second day of senior year. I wasn't really in the mood to dress up. Ever since finding out I'm pregnant yesterday my mood has been anything but happy. That being said I decided to put my hair up in a simple high ponytail and wear a pair of high waisted Jean shorts and a simple white t-shirt. I applied little make up and brushed my teeth before walking down to breakfast. As soon as I walked into the living room I could smell an amazing smell, it was apple wood bacon and French toast. I had a huge smile on my face as I made my way in to the kitchen. My mother was filling up Max's plate and making a small one for herself. " Hi mom, I said with a smile. Breakfast smells amazing as usual." Mom had a huge smile and thanked me before offering to make me a plate as well. I accepted her offer and ate the most delicious food. I was in complete bliss. Mom and max were talking about his new school. He just started the intermediate school at Shaler. He seemed really happy about all the friends he made and it seemed to make mom really happy too. The smile never left her face as she intently listened to max tell his stories. Instantly my heart broke. I sat there watching their banter and realized they both seemed so happy. For the first time in a while they were truly happy. I haven't seen mom or max with smiles that big since before the passing of my dad. I know when mom finds out I am pregnant it will break her heart. Honestly I don't know how she's going to handle it. I just didn't want to take the happiness away from her. To see her and Max smile so brightly it brought a warm feeling to my heart. At that instant I decided to hold off telling mom about the baby, at least for a couple months. Suddenly I heard a car horn blare from outside. Mel was sitting in my drive way patiently waiting for me to come out. I told mom and Max bye as I made my way to Mel's car. Once I opened the door she instantly started questioning me about where I was yesterday. I stopped her on the spot. " Listen Mel I have something to tell you and I hope you won't be mad at me or abandon our friendship." She looked at me quizzically before intervening in the middle of my speech. " Andie you know that would never happen. You're my bestfriend since kindergarten. You're not only my friend, you're like my sister. I love you and you can tell me anything." I smiled softly at her as I looked down at my lap. " I'm pregnant Mel and Mr. Summers is the father." I started to cry on the spot. Mel started to tear up instantly. " She grabbed my hand with her free one and held it tightly. "Andie it's going to be okay I promise. You know I'll always be here for you. I'll help you as much as I can." We pulled into the school parking lot and Mel engulfed me in a big warm hug. It was just what I needed at the time. We broke apart and tried to fix our make up before exiting her vehicle. Once we were happy with our appearances we made our way to our lockers, which just so happened to be right next to each other's. I grabbed my trig book in silence. Avoiding Dylan and Mike as they tried saying hello. I made my way to class early. I just needed to collect my thoughts. The day went by too quickly. And soon enough I was walking into English with Mel latched on my right arm. When I walked in, Mr. Summers was at his desk reading something on his laptop. He didn't even glance up as we walked by. I sighed and sat in my usual seat in the back of the class next to Mel. The bell rang and class began. Surprisingly it went by rather quickly. Mr. Summers didn't glance in my direction once, which I was eternally grateful for. The bell rang and all the students practically ran out the door. Mel and I started packing up. Suddenly I heard Mr. Summers clear his throat. He was standing right Infront of my desk. I looked down, my face the color of crimson red. I was not only still embarrassed but I'm also still pissed off after the way he talked to me two days ago. He cleared his throat again just as I was standing to leave. He grabbed my arm firmly, but not firm enough to hurt and asked me to stay. I was dumbfounded. Why would he want to talk to me? He said quite enough on Monday. There's no way I was hearing anything he had to say.  I ignored his request and shoved my arm out of his grasp and headed for the door. Mel went out the door first. Just before I reached the door it was quickly slammed in my face, locking me inside. I turned around facing the last person I wanted to see. I was positive he felt the same about me, which is why my face not only holds anger but an over whelming sense of shock as well. " Andie listen to me please." I wasn't going to listen to a thing he had to say. "You can go to hell Mr. Summers! I have nothing to say to you, not now or ever. Now if you'll excuse me please, you can let me through! "Andie I didn't hold you back to fight or argue." I stopped him right there. "Listen I really could careless what your intentions are. You said enough on Monday. I would have gladly transfered out of your class at your request, but I didn't have the time to stop at the office today being that I was off sick yesterday." He looked at me intently. I noticed a mix of emotions cross his face. They weren't the same looks he gave me on Monday. He looked sad almost sorry for the things he had said. I could see the pain and sorrow play across his face before he even spoke. " Andie I didn't mean the things I said on Monday. I was just shocked and surprised to see you sitting in my class. After what happened at the club, I don't know Andie. We did such an adult thing together. I was so attracted to you. I know you're not a slut. I knew that as soon as I laid eyes on you from across the bar. You were beautiful, shy and pure. It's what drew me to you in the first place. I'm so sorry if I hurt you. I truly mean that. I don't want you to transfer out of my class. You're a good student, I looked up your student file. You're a high honor student and you deserve to have the same opportunities as all the other students. I just hope you can forgive me and we can start over. Purely a student/ teacher relationship." I looked at him completely at a loss for words. He was genuine. Every word he spoke touched my heart. I wasn't sure how he could expect me to just forget our night together. It was my first time ever being intimate with a man. I felt a connection with Jason. Feelings I never felt before. I wasn't sure how to feel at that moment. Then I remembered. I am pregnant, with his child. How could I just forget him and our night together to have a student/ teacher relationship. He's the father of my child! A tear had escaped my eye. I tried to wipe it before he could see it. I was too late. " Please Andie, don't cry." He spoke softly. " It was now or never I thought. I had to tell him while I had the courage. "Mr. Summers, I just...I don't know how to tell you this." He looked at me quizzically. "Andie just tell me what's wrong please. I'm sorry I hurt you. I never meant to make you cry. I wish you were older, I wish you weren't my student." Just stop please it isn't that! I screamed on the verge of a complete mental and emotional break down. " I havent been feeling well for a couple of weeks. I began to say slowly. Yesterday I decided to find out what was wrong." He gazed at me with a look of pure worry etched all across his handsome face. I decided to quit focusing on how sexy he was and just get this over with. " I had a hunch what was wrong, so I took a test. I'm pregnant and you are the father." He looked at me questioningly for quite some time. I think he was trying to process what I had just said to him, even though I explained it slowly and clearly. Finally he looked away. He moved from infront of his classroom door. He walked to his desk, grabbed his brief case and walked through his door. Leaving me standing there alone. He didn't speak one word after I told him I was pregnant, he just left. I started to cry. At that point I collapsed on the floor infront of his door and hugged myself tightly. At that exact moment I realized I was pregnant and I was on my own. I was completely alone.
