Six months have passed. I went to the Peace Corps and quit one month later. A few reasons why I hated Africa... Number one; My roommate was a bitch and we hated each other. Number 2; O one spoke English. Number 3, I was so far away from all my family and friends. Last but not least; I was expecting a baby in four months.

I was now living in New York at the my parents house; in my old room in the basement. Only this time I would have a roommate who would also be my son or daughter. I went online and applied to a few schools. NYU, BU, U of M. I waited a few weeks and and found out I was accepted to Boston University and the University of Minnesota. I ended up going to BU as it was close and I didn't have to pay out of state fees. New York and Boston had a deal. So I packed up everything and moved to Boston being 8 months pregnant. My family and close friends helped me move. I had bought a condo 20 minutes from the school. Once I was all unpacked I went to Target and bought some essentials.

I had on a baggy sweatshirt and my winter jacket as it was the end of January. I had a few things bags in my cart and I was about to walk out of the store; and then I looked up and saw Cody and Zack there.

"Maya!" Said Cody hugging me

"Hey!" I exclaimed back freaked out

Zack saw me and thankfully couldn't see my baby bump.

"How are you?" Asked Cody

"Good, I'm going to be going to BU. What about you?" I asked Cody

"Well I'm going to Yale and I actually go back tonight. Zack aren't you going to talk?" Cody spoke

"No! I have nothing to say to her. She can go to hell" He yelled leaving

Tears came to my eyes. "Maya he hasn't been the same since you dumped him. He tried to talk to this one girl and he froze. You changed him and now he says he'll die alone." Cody said

"Well I dad on Facebook that he has a girlfriend?" I asked

"He does, she is never around.." Cody said

"Oh.." I cried

"Maya, are you okay? You seen really emotional.." Cody said

"No I'm not. I'm.. Eight months pregnant." I said

"How'd that happen?" Cody asked

"The usual way." I said

"I mean, who's baby is it?" Cody asked

"I think you know that answer." I spoke

Cody didn't say anything and then I said, "It's yours!"
