Mr Mendes

Call me Kay.

On Thursday...

"Uggh Shawn! I have to go back! It's exams!" I groaned. Arguing with Shawn was hard but I had to go back to school. It's been 2 weeks since my birthday. Lei is 6 weeks old now.

"But Lei!" Shawn shot back. "I need to go to school! I want to be a writer! I need to get a good education so I can graduate Uni!" I raised my voice.

"Kayla please! You can't just leave our daughter!" Shawn said. Tears threatened to spill from my eyes.

"Why won't you support me? Why don't you want me to become who I want to be?" I yelled, tears running down my cheeks. Shawn cupped my cheek in his hands.

"I'm sorry," He whispered. "I'm want you to become an author, I do, I was selfish. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I love you."

"I love you too." I pecked his lips. "Can I come to school tomorrow?" I asked. "Yes." Shawn smiled.

The next day...

I had given Lei to mom. She had formula and pumped breast milk. I got dressed for school in a Mickey Mouse jumper and jeans.

At school...

Me, Ricky and Alexa walked into form. Libby was sitting on Shawn's desk. Shawn was looking away, because Libby was wearing a skirt. Her legs were open wide.

Shawn saw me and instantly stood up. "Libby. Get of my desk. Close your legs. And get out of my room." He instructed, firmly. She stood up and walked out of the room, bumping my shoulder.

I chuckled and walked to my seat. The rest of the class walked in and sat down. "Okay class. Exams start next week. So all day we are staying in form, studying. Now I trust you have all been revising but some extra studying will help." Shawn said.

Lunch time...

Me, Ricky and Alexa were sitting on the field, eating lunch. We went and bought McDonald's, so I shoved a frie in my mouth.

"Ah crap!" I gasped, grabbing my phone. "What?" Ricky asked, with a mouthful of chicken nuggets.

"I need to check up on my daughter!" I exclaimed, calling my Mom.

Mom - Hey sweets

Me - Hey, how's Lei?

Mom - She is great. She is sleeping now.

Me - thanks mom! See you soon.

Mom - your welcome! Bye!

I hung up, and put my phone back in my pocket. "She okay?" Alex asked. "Yeah." I smiled. "Wanna go see Mr daddy mendes?" Ricky asked.

"Race ya!" I squealed. We jumped up and grabbed our bags. "Go!" Ricky yelled. We ran through the playground, making sure we don't bump into year 7's.

We burst through the doors and into the corridor. I ran into Shawn's classroom first. "I won!" I yelled, when Ricky and Alex stumbled in.

Shawn laughed. "What are you doing?" He asked. "We were racing to you." Ricky told him. "Oh okay. How is Lei?" Shawn asked me. "Fine. She is sleeping." I said.

"Okay good." Shawn smiled. He walked to me and kissed me, softly. "Ew! Stop!" Ricky pushed us apart. I giggled.

The bell rang, so we sat in put seats. After a long day of revision, Shawn let us have 20 minutes to talk amount ourselves.

I got my phone out, I called my mom. 

Mom - Hello Sweetie.

Me - Hi mom, how is Katherine?

Mom - Katherine?

Me - I'm in school.

Mom - oh okay. She is great. You wanna talk to her?

Me - please. Hi princess, mommy will be home soon. Love you. (baby voice)

Me - I have to go. Love you!

I hung up and grabbed my bag. The class ran out, when the bell rang. "Bye Yummy Mummy!" Ricky waved. Alex laughed and waved. They walked out and shut the door.

I put my phone in my bag and swung it over my shoulder, accidently hitting Shawn in the chest. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" I apologised, giggling and pecking his lips. "It's okay. It didn't hurt." Shawn reassured me.

"Can we go get Lei?" I asked. "Sure!" Shawn grabbed his keys and we walked out. "You said, months ago, that you had a gift for me." Shawn said, starting up the car.

"Oh yeah. It was a banana." I told him. "A banana?" Shawn laughed. "Yes. I drew a face on it." I said, and Shawn chuckled.

At parents house...

"Hey baby!" I took Lei into my arms from my mom's. "She just woke up." Dad told me. "Dad! Omg! I haven't seen you in forever!" I gave Lei to Shawn and hugged Dad. "I know. I have been at work a lot. I needed to spent some time with my granddaughter, so I came home." He said.

I smiled and kissed his cheek. Shawn got the diaper bag off my mom. "I'm sorry dad. I really have to study." I apologised. "And Ricky, Alex and kay are going prom dress shopping soon." Shawn told him. 

"It's okay. Have fun!" Dad smiled. We said goodbye and then left.

The next day, Saturday...

I was sitting on the bench, at the park, reading a book. Shawn was looking after Lei, at home. Kim ran up to me, out of breath.

Her eye was blue and purple. Her nose was bleeding and blood dripped off her lips. "Oh my god! Are you okay?" I asked, putting my book in my bag. "No. Help me please!" She cried.

"Okay, okay, sit down. What happened? Why are you bleeding?" I asked. She sat down and I gave her a tissue. She pressed it onto her lip, to stop the bleeding.

"Jack punched me!" She cried. "Jack? your boyfriend jack?" I asked. "Yes." Kim sobbed. I hugged her, tightly. 

"How long have this been going on?" I questioned, pulling away. "It just happened, for the first time." She said.

"Break up with him." I told her. "I have."

"Good." I smiled. "Go home, to your parents. I have your number. Me, Ricky and Alexa are going prom dress shopping tomorrow. Come with us." I said. "Okay. Thank you Kayla!" She hugged me and I hugged back.

"Call me Kay!"
