part 60

lunch comes and i packed. the school food is nasty and it comes to the point where i have to bring food for jacob and joey now.

jack sat with us today. he's so nice and sweet to all of us, especially me. he's that kind of friend that you want in life.

he's in my 3rd period. he sits next to me since i sit in the very back of class and he had no one to sit with.

jeremy sat with us and i talked to him. i haven't like said anything but we're becoming to be cool now i guess, but we're not friends.

jacob and joey were talking about old childhood memories since they been friends since the fourth grade.

"bro you were crying like a complete baby, jacob. no cap at all!" joey laughed.

"yeah duh, i would be crying since i fell off the roof and went threw the trampoline!" jacob said.

"who the fuck jumps of a 3 story house onto a trampoline and expects not to go through the trampoline?" he joey asked.

jacob pointed his thumbs at himself, "this guy."

everyone started bursting out laughing. it came to the point where my eyes started to water and it hurt to smile. my friends are actually the funniest people i ever met, how did i get so lucky?

"anna, remember that time when i accidentally spilled my chocolate milk all over your new white shirt?" jeremy asked me. i'm surprised he's trying to start a conversation with me.

"yes! oh my god! i had to throw that thing away because i couldn't get the stain out. and that was one of my favorite shirts!" i said.

"wait, wait, wait, anna?" jacob asked.

"what?"

"you were t-shirts?" jacob asked, laughing.

"yes babe, she wears shirts...once a month." jeremy says to hunter.

we all started laughing again because we're just that extra. "at least i don't wear the same kind of vans everyday, jere." i said.

we couldn't control our laughter, "he can't afford a new pair!" joeys says with laughter.

"hid the money y'all! there's poor people around!" i laughed, "with your broke ass!"

jeremy started to laugh, "don't come for me girl! i saw you at five below just the other day getting yourself a whole outfit." he says.

"jeremy, your teeth gold and ain't no jewelry on that mother fucker!" i said, just continuing the laughter.

"bruh, my teeth are white and straight! straighter than jacob!" jeremy says. which is fine because jeremy is jacobs boyfriend.

"hey that's not fair! your bi!" jacob says.

"exactly."

all four of us walk home, joey, jacob, and jack. it's like our own little sister squad. ha! jacob is james charles and jack and joey are the dolan twins. and welp, i'm emma chainberlien.

jack lives on jacobs side of the neighborhood so we spit up once we go there. so now it's joey and i.

"are you and jeremy cool now or something?" he asked.

i shrug, "i don't really know to be honest. we haven't like said anything to confirm it."

"you guys were joking around like you guys used to." he laced his fingers with mine just like he did this morning.

i squeezed his hand, "i know."

"so you guys are cool then?" he says.

"maybe. but i'm not gonna he like 'oh we're friends' because he could easily mess up again pull one of his tricks." i said.

he nodded.

speaking of jeremy, "hey do you know who carried me out of the school when hunter snapped my wrist?"

"zach."

"zach? zach carried me out? why?" he says.

"because i was beating up hunter. he came over and i told him to carry you out to the ambulance. you were out of it, like crying." he says.

"did you get into trouble?" i asked, "i mean like with beating up hunter."

"nope." he says, "everyone knew how mad i was because he touched my girl. thank god me moved back to north carolina to live with his dad." he says.

"he moved back?" i asked.

"yeah, you haven't noticed that he hasn't been around?"

"nope." i say.

we eventually go to our houses. we walk to my house first. he gives me a peck on the cheek and smiles at me, "i'll see you tomorrow, cross." he says.

"see you tomorrow, birlem." i told him.

before he walks off the front porch he says something. "i love you, anna." he says.

"i love you too." i said before turning back around and walking into the house.

as i walk in, i see mckenna crying in dylan's arms. she looked like she just found out someone died. did someone die?

i set my stuff down on the couch, "what's wrong?" i asked her as concernment took over me.

she pulls away from dylan's arms and looks at me in the eyes. her eyes were blood shot red. "anna..."

"what? what is?"

she wipes her tears and looks at dylan. "tell her." he says.

"anna...i-i'm" she paused.

"you're what mckenna? what's wrong?" i say.

"i'm pregnant."
