The next day was a Tuesday. I have not been to school for the past two weeks. I had to keep my job, which was mandatory, Even if that means not going to school. I was getting dressed for school, but none of my pants or shirts fit anymore. I just gave up and put on this dress that was hanging in my closet from previous weeks. After I was done getting dressed, I went down stairs and made me a bagel for breakfast. I was in a rush, so I said, "See you later," to Joanna and shut the door. I walked to my bus stop. Everyone was looking at me like I was an alien or something. They were acting like they have never seen a pregnant person before. Like damn, do I ever get a fucking break? I sat down tapping my foot praying for the bus to come, guess what, it did! I was the first person on the bus. The bus was rowdy as ever, these kids were acting like animals everyday. As soon as I took my last step on the bus, it got quiet as a mouse. People were just staring, pointing and laughing; I was standing there like a brick wall. The person behind me said, "Can you go! Damn'' very rudely. So, I went to the middle of the bus to seat seven. One of the girls from the perfect princesses' clique rode my bus. It was like nightmare on Elm Street. I was sitting there looking out the window and she just had to say something about me.

"Hey guys Michelle looks like 'Precious'," the whole bus started to laugh. "What!" I mumbled.

"You heard me fatty. Plus, I heard you had sex with all the boys on the football team and that's how you are pregnant!'' she said. "What! Where did you hear that from and what the fuck are you talking about?'' I said with anger.

"Wow, don't act dumb bitch like you do not know who Matt, Q, Jordan, Devonte, and Shaquan are. Actually, I can keep going on and on," she said sarcastically. 

"You know what; you don't know what the fuck you are talking about, so SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I said with irritation.

Then, the whole bus went, "oooh." After that big dramatic scene, I sat down holding back the tears, hoping we were close to school.
