The Spectre

Chapter Twenty : A Shocking Secret

"Now tell me, what seems to be the matter?" I asked Bora as soon as we're both seated on the bleachers at the soccer field. CL would definitely kill me once she'll know I brought Bora here at our usual spot.

"I hate Gyuri." Bora answered in a low voice.

Yeah, I hate her too. Who wouldn't? I want to tell her but I held my tongue. "And how come you hate her? She's your best friend right?"

"That's what I thought.." She sniffed. I wrinkled my eyebrows. I couldn't wait to hear the whole story.

"What happened then?" I asked her.

"She made fun of me in front of class early this morning. She told me I look like a pig now because I'm getting fat and my tummy's getting big. Our classmates heard it and they all laughed at me." Bora's lips slightly quivered.

The usual problems of a popular teenage girl.. I almost rolled my eyes. But I did notice though, that she gained a little weight. I was about to tell her something that would comfort her a bit but she continued talking.

"There's a reason why I look like this.. Why I'm gaining weight and why my stomach is getting bigger.." Bora looked like she's about to shed tears again. "I'm pregnant, Arya. I'm carrying Jaejoong's baby.."

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? DID I JUST HEAR IT RIGHT? AM I SUPPOSED TO BE HEARING THIS?

My eyes widened and I inhaled deeply, I felt the oxygen in my blood vessels couldn't reach my brain and I froze.

"I don't know if I should be telling you this, I don't even think you'd care." She let out a laugh, "But I just need someone to talk to.." Tears fell from her eyes and I really, really, honestly feel pity for her now.

"Does Jaejoong know about this? Since when are you, err, pregnant?" I asked feeling a little awkward. Preggy issues make me cringe, and the fact that Bora is just a Senior! Omigosh.

"I haven't told Jaejoong yet. I'm already three months pregnant."

"Three months?!" I exclaimed. It's been only a month since school started for Pete's sake!

"Yes, something happened between us during the summer. We went to a party and Gyuri was with her folks out of town. We got drunk, he took me home, my parents aren't there, and I let him stay. I don't even know if he remembers. He didn't talk to me after it happened so I assumed he doesn't really remember."

"Oh my.. I.. I don't know what to say.." I muttered. "Do your parents know about this? I think you should at least talk to them about it.."

"I don't have the courage to do so.. I'm scared.." Bora bit her lip.

"Well I guess you have to tell Jaejoong."

"Gyuri will kill me. And what if Jaejoong denies it. What would happen to me then?" Bora looked at me with eyes that showed hopelessness.

"Bora.." I mumbled.

"Arya!" CL's loud voice startled me. I turned to see her and Bom approaching the bleachers we're sitting on. CL's eyebrows furrowed as she came near and her eyes widened as she saw Bora.

"What on earth is she doing here?!" CL shouted angrily and is heading up towards us and looking directly at Bora. Bom just stood down the bleachers and I heard her whisper Bora's name and looked at her old friend worriedly. Bora wiped her cheeks and stood up the same time as I did.

"CL it's okay. She has a problem and she just needed someone to talk to." I place myself in between a raging CL and a scared Bora.

"And you believe whatever crap this bitch said to you?! C'mon, Arya! This might be a trick or something for all we know!"

"It's not a trick, CL. I swear. It's serious."

"So you're defending her now?!" CL scoffed. "I can't believe this!" She looked dismayed.

"That's enough, Arya. I'll just go." Bora started to go down the bleachers.

"Yeah leave! And stay out of our lives!" CL shouted at her.

But as soon as Bora walked past Bom the latter grabbed her hand which made her stopped walking. Bora turned to look at Bom and they stare at each other. After a few seconds, Bom hugged her and Bora hugged her back tightly then began to cry again. I swear I almost felt like crying too because of the scene. I turned to look at CL who had her mouth wide open out of shock and disbelief. I tug her in the arm and gestured for us to walk away for awhile.

"Let's leave them alone for a few minutes. I'll tell you everything about what happened to Bora." I told CL and she nodded.
