2 Guys, 1 Choice (BWWM) #Wattys2018 (Completed)

Chapter 33:Who knows

I was in the locker room I was sitting on the bench putting on my shoes.

Since the whole Brandon situation died down I don't have to worry about getting jumped in the shower or something.

One thing I learned about the Private school from is to watch your back especially if you cross someone.

(Flashback)

I was standing in a group of girls in the parking lot at St. Mary's Private school it was really a medium-sized church turned into a school.

We watched as The surrounding firefighters pulled out the dean she was a average sized lady with black hair wearing a now burnt grey pant suit.

She stormed over to me.

"I know you did this Monica you are out of here! "she shouted.

"No Dean Abble I didn't do this," I pleaded.
As I started to hear the other girls snickered behind me.

She didn't believe me and after the investigation it came out that my DNA was found on the car. I was kicked out but I couldn't tell my parents so I decided to transfer before they found out over the summer.

After being bullied at the school since I started my freshman there until I couldn't take it no more.

so I reported it to the dean and before I knew it I was framed for setting her car on fire.

I got up off the bench then started walking out.

"Hey Monica," Brittney said coming up to me as I was walking back into the school.

I was caught off guard

"Hey,"I said surprised.

"How do you do it?"she asked.

I looked at her.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

She kept looking straight ahead.

"You don't know about Maria being pregnant,"she looked at me big eyes.

"Yea I know about that," I said.

"Do you know who her baby daddy is?"
Brittney asked me.

"Of course it's Antonio."

What was she getting at?

"It's going around school it could be someone else."

Maria never told me about any other guys besides Antonio. But now I was curious to find out who it could be.

"Who is it?"I asked.
She smirked.

"I think Jake might know who it is."

Ok what does she mean by that.

Before I could make a comment the final bell ringed. I would've stayed but I had a history test today and if I show up late my test score will be dropped a letter grade.

After I made it through my test even though What Brittney said was running in my head as I walked up to the lunch table where Jake, Maria and Antonio were sitting. I just felt awkward like I was walking up to a table of strangers.

"Are you ok Mo?"Maria asked.

Jake looked at me concerned.

"Yea I'm fine,"I said smearing my play dough like mash potatoes on my black lunch tray.

I stayed quiet thinking glancing at Maria and Antonio ever since the rumor came out he knows. He's sticking by her side.

I felt Jake put his hand on my knee I shifted my knee away from him. I didn't feel like getting felt up.

As much as I wanted to just bring up who else could Maria be pregnant by and what does Jake know about it.
I didn't want to cause a scene.

So I got up.

"I got to go,"I said.
As I was walking out the cafeteria Jake came up to me.

"Are you ok babe?"he asked.

"I just feel sick,"I told him.

"At least let me walk you to the parking lot, " he said taking my hand.

I told him sure and we started walking down down the halls and to the parking lot.

"Do you know who Maria's baby daddy is?"I asked him.

He had a surprised look on his face.
"It's.. Antonio what made you ask that question,"he laughed.

"Just a rumor going around school that another guy might be the dad." I said.

Before we knew it we were at the parking lot.

"Well I better get back inside before I get in trouble. I'll check up on you later, " he said as he leaned in and gave me a quick kiss.

"Ok, " I grinned at him and watched as he walked back into the school
Then I started walking to my car.

"Monica wait up,"I heard Brandon's voice.

Lately every time I hear someone call out my name it's always some drama.

I saw my car on the other side of the parking lot. I started running to my car

"Come on don't make me chase you!" Brandon yelled.

As I was halfway to my car I started to feel like I punched in the stomach. I stopped squatted with my hands on my knees while I caught my breath.

I felt tired from barley running a few feet. I'm a pretty active person so that was weird.

"I told you not to make me chase you,"he chuckled walking up to me

I smirked.

"What do you want." I said coldly even though it was hot outside.

His face became serious, can I tell you something?" he asked.

I looked at him

"What is it?"I asked

"Can we talk privately, " he nodded towards my car.

I didn't know what he wanted to talk about but I knew his wasn't trying to be flirty or anything like that.

"Ok, " I said unlocking my doors as I got in the driver seat and I watched as he got in the passenger seat.

Brandon took a deep breath.

"I got to tell you something."

"Ok...,"I said.

He eyes met mine.

"Promise me you won't get mad."
Why did he have to say that.

I took a hard breath from my nose.

"I promise, " I told him.

"Have you heard the rumors he asked.

Yes, I have please get to the point."
I just wanted answers.

"Jake might be the dad," he said.

"Who told you that I asked."

He looked away.

"Who told you!"I said getting visibly frustrated.

"You promise you won't get mad."

"JUST FUCKING SAY IT!" I shouted.

"Ok, Maria told me a few days ago after school."

I just sat there staring out the window straight ahead.

"Promise me your not going to do anything crazy,"he said looking at me I kept my eyes straight.

"I promise,"I said keeping my eyes straight ahead.

After that he slowly got out and I quickly started my car and pulled out of the school parking lot.
