.Chapter 23.

Barely a minute of that awkward silence later and processing the information we just received, Emilia and I grabbed Eva by the shoulders and shrieked,"You WHAT?"

"Am... pregnant?" Her voice was soft, almost a whisper.

"Holy-"

"-guacomole." I finished Emi's sentence for her.

"Er... c-congrats Eva!" I manage to utter. I am still in a state of pleasant surprise.

Emi's eyes darken as she looks at Eva who shifts in her seat. "Wesley's the father right?"

"DUH! I'm not a hoe like Jenson you piece of shit!" She back-hand whacks Emi in the arm. "I was just making sure!" she yelps, laying on my shoulder with a pout on her face. I roll my eyes.

We turn to face a row of jaw-dropped guys, of which Cody is the first to speak. "Wes, honestly, I never thought you would ever knock someone up, but congrats!" he says all too cheerfully. Gabe shoves the back of his head forward, nearly getting his face covered in the quinoa in his lunch tray. "Shut up you dumbass," he adds,"but congrats bro." He nods in Wesley's direction.

Wesley is smiling sheepishly and Eva is sporting a bright red blush.

"I didn't think I'd be saying this while we're still seventeen but I can't imagine a Wes junior running around," Nigel commented.

"It could also be an Eva junior," Emi argued.

"How many weeks or months has it been?"

In a both soft and low voice, Eva answered,"3 months."

"And you only just realised? Periods are a thing remember?"

"Mine was pretty irregular, remember? Plus I've known for about two and a half weeks now. It's just you were caught up in you and Carter were having some beef so I didn't think it'd be the right time. Make sense?" she said with a tone of irritation.

"Sorry," I apologised, looking down at my feet.

Before I know it, her scrawny arms are wrapped around me as she explains,"Sorry Madds, it's the hormones." I pat her back and acknowledge her statement with an "Okay.".

She pulls back in half a second, holding both my and Emilia's shoulders in a death grip. I was close to wincing before she let go, narrowing her eyes and asking,"Just now, did you guys say something?" I saw it in her eyes that she knew the answer but wanted us to repeat ourselves for whatever reason. Probably so she could over-react.

"I said that Carter is my boyfriend."

"And I said that I was dating Cody," Emi joined in.

"How, where and when did that happen?" we question her.

"At Malc's party. So, I was uh- jealous of Amber and Cody's relationship-" as she said this Cody broke out into a grin and Amber stifled a laugh. "-and at the party, I talked to him about it and turns out they really were just friends-"

"-And that I was totally uninterested in homeboy here," Amber cut her off and slapped Cody on the back, making him cough out the food in his mouth. "This," she gestured at the mess he was,"is exactly why. Good luck to you girl," she laughed.

"So yeah, that's basically it."

"I can't believe our homie Codes here managed to get the girl of his dreams," Nigel said in a mock mushy voice which we all laughed at. "You bet she's in my dreams. Specifically my-" Cody is abruptly cut off when the twins throw their sneakers at him as I exclaim,"Cody TMI! We do not need to know about your... fantasies with my freaking best friend, geez." Everybody else agrees.
