The Teachers Assistant

chapter 10 part 2

Its Monday now and I'm in class sitting silently as my third period takes their test. The only thing I hated about being a teacher was testing days. I hated it because I had to stay quiet the whole time that the class worked.

I just sat there staring at my students. You know not a single one of them had asked if I was pregnant. I guess I just hid it well. I mean they hadn't even noticed I had no longer been wearing an engagement ring either. Today I wore what I usually wore, just a regular dress shirt paired with a loose flow cardigan to help hide my stomach.

Today I was feeling rather uncomfortable. It started late last night where I just kept getting randomly really hot then I would feel a pain in my lower back. I think they put the suit on too tight this time because it hurt a little every time I moved a certain way.

I'm sweating at this point and I still had twenty minutes left with this class. I did my usual routine of what I did when I got hot flashes. I would start by putting up my hair then taking off my shoes. I never had to take off my jacket anymore ever since I had gotten a fan for myself, but today I was just sweating like I was at a sauna.

I took off my jacket for the first time. I did it quietly though and not a single person looked up. I was still hot though and I knew of only one solution that ever helped, I would have to pull up my shirt exposing my belly.

I'm about to pull my shirt up when someone knocks on the door. Every student looks at me then the door then back at me.

"Carson can you go open the door sweetie." I ask.

He stands up and opens the door a little. Then looks back at me.

"There's a person wanting to talk to you Miss. Carter." he says then sits back at his desk.

I contemplate on whether to put on that hot cardigan again or just get up. I decide on the later one. I stand up and immediately I can feel all eyes on my medium sized bump.

I stop and look at them. "Yes, surprise, I'm pregnant. It's a girl. Now get back to testing. I won't be writing any passes for you if you have to stay past the bell" I say, and then walk to the door.

I open it and am surprised to see that it's Drake.

"Drake, I'm in class right now." I say to him, I close the door behind me.

"Eve, are you feeling ok. Are you good?" he asks.

"Yes, I feel fine and she feels great too." I reply. "Now what is it? Can't this wait?"

"Eve, it's my baby, I just wanted to know if... wait did you say she?" he questioned.

"Yes it's a girl, Drake it's not your baby. I made it up to play a joke. This baby is my boyfriends. I was on birth control on the time I was with you." I tell him.

"What, why would you joke about something like that." he says.

"I don't know I'm a cruel person. Look I got to get back to class." I tell him.

"You know I'm glad I broke up with you and I don't regret cheating on you either. Turns out miss. Martin is pregnant too." he says walking away.

I smile. "That's great." I say then walk back into the class. Every student is looking at me. I guess we were kind of screaming out in the hallway.

"Get back to work there's nothing to look at here." I say.

I sit back at my desk and lift my shirt up cooling myself off. I just didn't care anymore who knew. I mean by this time tomorrow the whole school would know I was pregnant and Drake cheated on me with Miss. Martin who is also pregnant, gossip spread fast between students.
