I already woke up a few hours ago but i was laying in bed, thinking and thinking more.

I got off the bed and looked in the mirror, rubbing my belly and seeing if it have grown, of course it was just the beginning of my pregnancy, so i didn't have a belly.

Looking down i was thinking, how can i ever abort a human being... that is murder, this little baby doesn't deserve that, he or she deserve a good life.

Tears start rolling down my face but then a slight smile, imagining how my life would be with this child, playing with sand in the beach, making sand castles,  going on playgrounds, and just enjoying life.

I run off to the living room surprising Violet.

"whats wrong?"

"nothing" i answer with a smile

"i'm confused..."

"i... i decided to keep the baby"

"thats amazing!"

She comes and hugs me.

"thank you"

"you're so brave, you know you will always have me here if you need any help"

"i know.. now to tell my parent my decision"

I hear a knock on the door, and come to open it, i see Luna, Jojo, Joe and Andre in front of my door.

"oh what a nice surprise"

"are you ready to go to school?" asks Luna

"actually, i'm gonna go talk to the principal, to release me today because my parents should be here soon"

"okay, and you look happy today, what changed?"

"i decided to keep the baby"  i whisper

Luna just hugs me and smiles.

I go and get my backpack and skateboard, but i stop for a second.

"i better just walk"

Meanwhile Violet met everyone else.

"alright im ready let's go!"

"i guess i'll just stay here look after your house"

"no no you're coming too, i mean at least we'll walk a little instead of sitting in the house"

"okay" she smiles

We start walking towards the school and we open the door, i see inside the principal, and he notices us.

"Melody...please come to my office to talk"

"uhm, okay, but can my friend come too"

"no, she can wait outside"

"please let her in we need to talk together."

"fine you two come with me and the rest go to your classes"

We start following the principal into his office and we sit down.

"okay, now Melody we need to discuss about a few things.... the nurse told me about your situation"

"oh, i see"

i look down.

"unfortunately it's pretty common for this to happen"

"i decided to keep the baby, its my decision after all"

"are you sure about that, i insist to talk to your parents, if you want i can call them now"
