Hate Is A Form Of Affection (UNEDITED)

Chapter 48

I sit in Math class taking notes, and I suddenly have the urge to use the bathroom. I raise my hand, and grab a hall pass and head to the bathroom. I can't wait for homecoming. It's next week on Friday, and I'm nervous. It's like 7 days away and I'm already freaking out about it. I can just see Matt and I now. Dancing together to a slow song. Cheesy, and cliche I know, but I've always wanted to experience it. As I walk to the bathroom. I see Chelsea at her locker applying lipgloss. She notices me and sends me a smile.

"Hey Riley!" She says walking towards me.

"I don't have time for this." I say.

"Want some?" She asks holding her lipgloss.

"No thanks." I say.

"Did you ask him?" She asks me.

"Yeah I did."

"And what did he say?" She asks.

"He's not hiding anything from me. Okay, he tells me everything. I'm not worried. Not for a minute." I tell her. She nods.

"Okay. He's lying." She tells me.

"He's not. He wouldn't do that." I say.

"If you say so. See you at lunch." She says. I take a deep breath trying to keep myself as calm as possible.

As I grab my lunch. Nathan walks over to me.

"Hey." He says. I smile up at him.

"Hi." I say.

"Any luck?" He asks me smiling.

"Luck on what?" I ask confused walking to my table.

"Did Matt ask you to Homecoming?" He asks.

"Oh." I say laughing. "Yeah actually, he asked me last night. It was really romantic." I say. He nods.

"I'm happy for you." He says. As we sit down, I look around for Matt but he's no where to be found. Weird. As I eat, Chelsea walks into the cafeteria with tears filling her eyes. Everyone stares at her, and she asks everyone if they could quiet down. Matt walks in, and looks around the room. We're they together just now? I watch as he stands next to her. Everyone gets quiet, and I freak out.

"So, I have something I need to say. Your all going to find out eventually at some point, so I might as well just take this time to tell everyone about my situation. What no one knows is that... well I'm pregnant." Every one gasps and whispers and Matt Looks down at the ground the entire time." The baby is Matt's. He's going to help me raise the baby. I know you all must be shocked by the news but I could really use the support right now. The both of us could." She says grabbing Matt's hand. I feel this hint of anger build up inside of me, but I brush it aside. I don't want to become someone I'm not.

These group of girls stand up and walk towards Chelsea.
"Don't worry. We know how hard this must be for you, but we're here if you need anything. We support you. And Matt too." They say. Chelsea smiled and soon everyone sends her their full attention. They hug her and tell her these nice supporting things, as they do to Matt as well. Nathan looks at me with this stunned look in his eyes.

"Did you know about that?" He asks me staring down at me. I nod slowly as I continue watching them from a distance.

"Wow. Um. Your okay with all that?" He asks me.

I shrug. "I'm just trying to be there for Matt and support him. I love him. I mean don't get me wrong, to be honest I am a little jealous of the whole thing, but I know their situation." I say and he nods.

"Your a strong person. I've never met someone so strong, and generous as you I swear." He says making me smile.

"Well thanks." I say.
