THE RUMOR

Chapter 12: Uh-Oh

I hurried up to my next class and not lucky for me I had Mr. Tomkins, my math teacher. I walked in quietly and he wasn't even there, so I hurried to my seat, however right when I was about to put my ass in my chair Mr. Tomkins came in and said, "Michelle, where have you been?"

I took a breath and said, "I was in the princple's office."

"Where is your pass?" He said with one eyebrow up and his glasses tilted on his head.

I checked my pockets and nothing was there. I then realized, I forget the pass in the bathroom, where I had changed my clothes.

"Um, Mr. Tomkins I forgot the pass in the bathroom," I said.

"Well, I thought you were with Mr. Rose, Michelle your story has changed, maybe you just want detention," Mr. Tomkins said

"See what had happened was.....Mr. Tomkins it is a long story, I have had a terrible morning," I said.

"Well, it does seem like something is bothering you, therefore I'll let you slide this time, DO NOT make it a habit being late for my class," he said trying to intimidate me.

After the conversation with Mr. Tomkins, I looked on the board to see what assignments were coming up. Could my day get any worse, my math project is due tomorrow, just my luck. I immediately started brainstorming.

Mr. Tomkins's class is so boring, for the rest of the class I just looked at the clock, tic tock tic tock. It was taking forever for the bell to ring. Then out of nowhere. I felt a sharp pain in my side. I thought it was just the baby moving around, so I blew it off. However, it happened again and again. Oh my God, what in the world is happening? I tried to endure the pain, but I could not keep myself composed. "FUCKKKKKK" I screamed. The whole class looked over at me like I was crazy. Mr. Tomkins asked, "Michelle is everything ok." The pain was terrible; I have not felt anything like this before. No words came out of my mouth when I tried to answer Mr. Tomkins. So, I shook my head to gesture NO. Mr. Tomkins sent a student to get a nurse. Before the nurse made it to the room something strange happened. I felt liquid rolling down my leg. Fuck, I am going into labor, I said to myself. Trying to talk trough the pain I said, "Mr. Tom......kins, my my my my water............. bro......ke!!!!!!" Mr. Tomkins quickly dialed 911. Finally, Mrs. Hawkins, the school nurse made it to my math class. Mr. Tomkins informed her that my water broke and he had already called 911. The emergency responders rushed in the classroom, put me on the stretcher and loaded me into the ambulance. I could not believe I was about to have my baby. So many emotions were going through my mind. I could not think. I felt out of it and I was crying like crazy. However, I heard the sweetest voice in the background, "breathe, breathe, we will arrive at the hospital in ten minutes. Everything is going to be okay." I finally begin to compose myself and before I knew it, I was being rushed through the emergency room doors.
