Lost Boy; C.h.

First day back at school... ugh.

I crawled out of bed. Why'd I pick a 8 o'clock class? No fucking clue.

I grabbed my protein shake, brushed my teeth and hair, and left. Not even changing out of my pajamas.

Joggers, a tank top, and flip flops one might argue; are perfectly appropriate for class.

I pulled to the school, and parked, walking inside, already annoyed at everyone and everything I see or make eye contact with. I stumbled into class and sat at the back. Ready for a "really exciting lecture".

Soon a familiar face walked in. Nicole.

Remember her? Eh? Check chapter 32...

She snuck in and waved at me. Starbucks in her other hand.

She sat in the open seat next to me and gave me a quick hug. Then she looked at my stomach, with a raised eyebrow.

I smiled and looked down at it myself. It was slightly noticeable.

"Yeah." I smiled and looked down, then at her. "I'm pregnant."

I saw something in her eye. Almost.. scary. And a evil smirk...

"What?" I asked. Her looks went away.

"Nothing..." she smirked. "Congratulations."

Walking through the hallway. Out the class, then across the street, and into another building.

I saw Nicole and waved. She didn't wave back instead she went and talked to... Marie? What?

She whispered and then they all looked at me. Marie had the same evil look I saw on Nicole earlier.

They walked past me.

"Slut." They both muttered... what? I turned around.

"What the fuck is your problem?" I shouted.

Everyone was looking at me.

"This isn't high school anymore! I'm sorry that you haven't grown up enough to see that.
But I'm 20 years old!
I can make my own damn decisions and I can fend for myself.
And I have a boyfriend who loves me.
Unlike you who has a new one each week.
And he's going to be the best damn father in the world and I realize that you're just jealous cause you're not the one having his baby.
I am.
And you just have to get over that.
I'm sorry Marie.
But You could be a better person if you just moved on." I finished.

The two girls were both taken aback.

Soon enough someone started clapping. Then everyone who was listening to my rant started clapping.

I did an over dramatic bow, flipped them both off with a smile, and stomped all the way back to my car, and drove home.

I slammed both my car door and the front door. Which woke up Calum, who had class in thirty minutes.

"What's wrong?" He asked me, his eyes filled with worry as he saw my angry eyes.

"Marie found out." I said pointing to my stomach. "And she seems to have forgotten I'm an adult. And that we're not 14 anymore." I shook my head. He frowned and pulled me into a hug.
