*School*
As I walked through the halls at school, I couldn't help but feel like everyone was looking at me. "What's going on?" I ask Luke, moving a bit closer to him uncomfortably. "I have no idea" he says quietly as we stop at our lockers. I quickly grab my books and wait for Luke so we can go to class.
The second we walked in, it went dead silent and everyone was not so subtly staring and whispering to their friends. I looked over at Amy as I walked to my desk. "What's up with everyone?" I ask her quietly, trying not to be heard. "I don't know, everyone's being weird" she says. I look over at Ashton who was silently writing in his planner.
"Ash" I whisper. "Oh, sorry. What's up?" he asks as the noise level in the classroom started to rise. "Do you know what's wrong with everyone today?" I ask. "I'm not sure, everyone's been acting weird. I already asked Cal and Mike" he says. I nod and look back over to Luke. He shrugs and looks around nervously. "Oh my god, really?!" someone in the front yells. Everyone quickly shushed her and looked over at me. What the hell. "Sorry" she says, holding up her hands defensively.
I just dismiss it and look back down at my books. "Morning everyone" my teacher says awkwardly as he walks in, which is completely unlike him.
What's happening?
As the bell rang, I went to walk out. "Miss Hemmings, may I speak to you please?" he asks. "Yeah, sure" I say walking over to his desk. He waits for the room to clear out before speaking. "I just want you to feel like you have someone to trust and talk to. If you ever need anything I'm here for you, I just felt like you should know" he says with a small smile. "Um, thanks?" I say, confusion in my voice. "Anytime. Good luck, Katrina" he says as I walk out.
"What was that all about?" Mike asks, draping his arm around me as I step into the hallway. On the other side, Ashton did the same. "He just said if I ever need anyone to trust and talk to that he's here for me. I have no idea what the hell is going on" I say nervously, walking to the stairs. "Guys shut up, it's not like it matters" I hear a freshman say to her friends quietly. "I'll be back" I say to the guys and walk over to the three girls.
"Hey guys, freshmen I assume?" I ask, towering over them. "Uh yeah" they all mumble. "I just want to know what's going on, I mean I've heard everyone whispering all day and I just want to know what it's about" I smile sweetly.
"Uh yeah. So there's this senior, I think her name is Kate" she asks her friends. "I thought it was Kat?" her friend says. "Oh yeah, I know her. What about her?" I ask. "Well everyone's talking about how she's pregnant" she explains quietly.
"Oh really? Who said that?" I ask, on the verge of having a panic attack. "Another senior told her friends, then it just kinda spread around" they say. Arabella. "Okay, thanks guys" I say quickly and walk back to Ashton and Michael, my heartbeat quickening.
"You're shaking, what's wrong?" Michael asks as the warning bell rings and the hallways start to clear. "Apparently I'm pregnant and everyone knows" I say, my breathing became difficult. "Holy shit" Mike whispers. Meanwhile Ashton looked scared.
Ash lifted my chin up to look at him. "Look at me, it's okay. Katrina it's okay. Who would do this?" he asks, taking my hands, gently running his hands over the top of them. "Arabella I think. I mean we got in a fight ans she seemed really mad" I stammered. "Baby, listen to me" he says sweetly.
"We'll work this out, and it'll all be fine. It might take a day or two, but I promise you, we will be fine. Come here" he says opening his arms. I lean into his chest and wrap my arms around him. He does the same and holds on to me protectively.
