Bestfriends In Trouble

CHAPTER SEVEN

Eleanor's POV

I'm glad Ken's back. He just completed my day. Seeing him today made my heart flutter a little.

I also enjoyed my lunch with him together with my friends. It was like just before. Just happy.

After school, we decide to go at Grace's place to watch a film. One of our favorites, Ted.

It was a vulgar movie but we just laughed it off.

Ken sat beside me and gave me a smile.

"So," he started, "How's my child's mother?"

It took some seconds before I fully understand his question that he was referring to me.

"Fine," I said, "Thanks for asking."

"Look El, I wish we could still be bestfriends like before." He said.

"Me too, so we'll try." I said and pat his shoulder.

In the middle of the movie, I found myself cuddling with Ken. I liked feeling the heat radiating from his body.

Feight let out a fake yawn and said, "PDA."

"you're just jealous Feight." Grace said and laughed.

"Why would I?" Feight asked.

"Because you and Ken was never that sweet when you were dating." Grace said.

"Ken and Feight dated before?!" Gail asked.

"Uhm, Yeah." Ken answered. "I thought you knew."

"How would I know? You didn't tell me." Gail said.

"Because you hardly paid attention," Feight said, "but nevermind, Ken isn't even a good kisser."

"You just didn't say that." Ken said and fake glare at Feight, "El?"

"Yea?"

"Am I not a good kisser?" Ken asked.

Now everybody's attention was turned to me.

I shrugged.

"No!!! Be honest El." Feight said.

"Hmm.. Not bad." I answered.

"That means I'm good." Ken said and wrapped his arms tighter around me.

Feight just rolled her eyes. Is it possible that she still has some feelings for Ken?

"Ken?" I said.

"Hmm?"

"Why are we cuddling?" I asked.

I could see his face and he was blushing. Like he was about to explode. Then he just let go of me.

"I'm sorry," he muttered under his breath.

"Nah, it's fine Ken," I said and just leaned on his shoulder instead.

Then he touched my tummy, "Is it a boy or a girl?" He asked.

"I just don't know yet." I answered.

"We'll find out soon." He said and smiled.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two months had passed and my my tummy was getting bigger. It was now December. The snow here in Maine was thick as always, but part of me still loves it.

Ken and I are still best buddies, nothing really had changed.

We also found out that our baby is a girl. My friends had already been suggesting names such as, Kenya, Nadine, Deborah, Kathryn, Angelica, Hazel, Fair, etc.

But I have been thinking a name after any country or place, like Alaska, Greece, Paris, Africa, Britain(although it sounds like Brittany). Just add my or Ken's last name there like, Greece Stevenson, Paris Rogers, Africa Stevenson, Alaska Rogers.

What if I become Eleanor Rogers?

I shivered with that thought. I don't think that would happen.

We were sitting in our usual table, this was the last day of class before Christmas break. Everybody seemed to be so excited.

People here also know about me being pregnant. And they're all okay about it. Nobody was bullying me or something.

I mean, I have the coolest friends ever. Grace, who's a freelance model, the beauty of a tumblr girl. Gail, who's the soon to be valedictorian, Feight who's a famous youtuber and so popular on vine and twitter and facebook and iG and Ken, the hottest dancer in school. Me? I'm just a heartbreaker. Not a good reputation.

Yet Brittany? She hates every single thing about me. She hates that I'm always with Ken. She hates when Ken carries my bag. She hates when Ken put his arm around my shoulder. Therefore, she is obviously jealous.

Grace kept on talking about her next photoshoot for this Christmas, when suddenly, a gorgeous, smoking hot guy came to us. God, I think I just drooled.

"Hi, can I seat here?" He asked me.

But before I could answer Ken spoke,"Why? There are lots of empty tables there just go find-"

"Sure," I said, Showing him my huge smile.

Ken opened his mouth and closed it again.

Then the guy took his seat beside me. "Thanks."

"You're not supposed to sit here." Feight said.

"I told 'em already." Ken said, sounding so annoyed.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Because only girls should sit here." Gail answered.

Then we all looked at Ken.

"Ken is guy." I argued.

"He doesn't count coz he's gay." Grace said.

I laughed.

"Whoah! I ain't gay baby." Ken said, raising his both arms.

Grace facepalmed herself and said, "Can't you just pretend for some minutes just to get rid of this handsome guy that might steal your Eleanor."

"Okay," the guy said, "I'm just going to eat somewhere."

"Hey!Thanks man." Ken said.

"but Eleanor," whoops. I like the way he spoke my name. "Maybe we should have a dinner tonight?"

"She doesn't even know you man." Ken said. Why can't he just shut up?

"I'm Drew" the guy finally introduced himself.

"El?" Ken said again, "You can't just go out with this guy who randomly popped out to our table in the last day of class."

"Just shut up Ken!" I sad, not containing myself anymore."Sure." I said.

"What the fuck?" Ken said for the last time and walked out.

Grace, Feight, and Gail were dumbfounded.

Actually me too. But then again, I gave my number to Drew.

Drew just walked away by then. Happy that I gave him my number.

"What did you just do?" Grace asked. "You're having a date with this guy we just even saw, while you're pregnant with Ken's child."

"Who cares?" I said, "Ken and I aren't dating."

"But your baby might cry inside your tummy, cause her mommy isn't with her daddy." Gail said.

How could a girl who tops in all her classes say such things?

I rolled my eyes, "I am having a dinner with Drew tonight. And that is final." I said. I got up and then just leave them.
