Bestfriends In Trouble

Chapter Six

Ken's POV

I hadn't been in school for a week now. I didn't want to be seen by Brittany, Eleanor, and my other friends. I had been in my room, just staring at the ceiling and thinking about Eleanor, also Brittany.

Mom asked me what was wrong but I just told her to leave me alone. But tonight, she didn't tolerate my asshatness.

"Ken, what did really happen?" She asked for a hundredth time.

"Nothing."

She sighed. "You have to answer me now or I would confiscate your car keys!"

"Fine-" I said, finally giving up, but someone was knocking so hard on the door.

Mom immediately ran downstairs, I followed her. She opened the door and there they are. The Stevensons, Eleanor, and her parents.

When El's dad saw me, he walked towards me and punched me on my face.

"What the hell?" Mom said furiously, "You can't just hurt my son under our roof and with mg presence!" She shouted to Mr. S.

"My daughter is carrying your son's child!" Mr.S replied, "are you even aware if that?"

My mom was appalled. I know she didn't know what to say.

Then she turned to me, "Is that true, Ken?"

I nodded.

My mom fell on the floor. Mrs.S and I caught her.

She was unconscious for like 3 minutes.

I stole a glance at El. I could see the worry on her knees.

"So, you ain't planning on telling her?" Mr.S asked.

I shook my head.

"Mom, Dad," El finally spoke. Gosh. I missed her. "Let's just leave."

"No, don't." Mom said. "We're going to talk about it. Now."

"Okay." I said.

"Albert, Jenna," Mom addressed, "Eleanor, take your seats."

They obeyed.

I truly didn't know what to say. I wasn't prepared.

"I'm sorry." I managed to say. "I know it wasn't right. I know we are too young. But I didn't think it would lead unto this. If only I knew."

"El?" I said.

"Yeah?"

"I'm very sorry on how I treated you these past few days."

"okay."

"And Albert, Jenna, I'll take the responsibilities."

"How would you do that? You're just a high school guy." Mr.S spat.

"I will find a way sir." I said. "I'll take care of El. Just like before."

When the conversation ended between our families, I felt kinda lighter.

I texted El after that.

"Glad they didn't kick you out." I sent it to El.

"They almost did." she replied after a minute.

"I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Sure  Goodnight."

"night."

I went to school the next morning. Feeling okay.

I went to my locker, next to El's, to gather some of my stuff.

Then I saw El coming with a huge smile plastered on her face. She was with Feight, Grace, and Gail.

"Hi ladies." I greeted them, then Gail hugged me.

"I missed you so much Ken." Gail said sweetly, "Are you gonna eat your lunch with us?"

"I would love to, but that depends on that three girls behind you." I grinned at them.

They all shrugged, but when Gail pouted, they all said yes. Gail started the happy dance.

Gail was like my little sister. But I think she just pretends to be dumb. Cause in math and science classes, she tops. Oh, she tops on every subject I mean.

My other girls? They all hugged me, which was kinda cheesy, but it was fine. I felt happy. El even pinched both of my cheeks, she always did that to me.

Goodness, I didn't know how much I missed my clique, until now.

Due to my consecutive absences, I had missed a lot of lessons, homeworks, and quizzes. And luckily, the teachers gave me special assignments.

At lunch, I sat next to Gail.

"How will I finish answering an entire workbook in chemistry, pre calc, and literature?" I complained to Gail.

"By asking help with me?" She answered innocently.

"Exactly." I said, grinning, "Please, Gail, for the sake of the tiger I drew for you to color."

"Okay. In one condition." She smiled, showing her teeth. Then she leaned closer and whispered to my ears, "We'll prank Feight and Grace."

I nodded, a grin forming on my face.

"I will answer every single question in those three books. Don't worry." She said confidently, in a sweet manner.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, just give them to me, So I would give it back to you tomorrow." She said and I immediately handed her all my workbooks.

"Oh Ken," Feight interrupted, "Stop using Gail for your homeworks."

"She offered. And as a normal human being, I didn't refuse." I said and winked at her. Then she just rolled her eyes.

"It's okay." Gail said, "I love answering on workbooks, they're all so easy. I always get a laugh through it." She said a giggled.

I swallowed. Really? Who would laugh at workbooks which could kill anybody? Gail!

"Oh, you're the smartest girl I know Gail." El said."What's your secret?"

"Really?" She said."I just color things a lot."

"If I draw some pictures for you to color, would you answer my homeworks too?" Grace asked.

"Why not?" Gail answered simply. "I would love to."
