"I'm pregnant, Zack. I'm telling you this because it's your baby."

I raised a questioning eyebrow at her. This wasn't the time to play games. I didn't come all the way here to play some shitty game.

"And you expect me to believe that? Look Daisy the least I can do is to believe you're pregnant. I know what game you're trying to play why don't you quit?" I persisted.

"Does this look like a lie?" she pointed at her face expression.

I gave her a thorough check to see if I could find something different. Daisy wore very skimpy, scandalous outfits and most of them contained crop tops. Her belly had always been flat and toned and there was not even the slightest of a bump.

"Oh dude, stop being a nuisance. I'm only two months into the pregnancy," She yelled, annoyed I was ogling her body.

She dipped her hand inside her fanny pack and brought out a neatly folded black paper and four pregnancy tests. She pushes two of the pregnancy tests towards me but kept the other two.

"I took the pregnancy test this morning and without any motherfucking hesitation, it showed two lines which means pregnant. I skipped school to go for a checkup to confirm it. And I discovered I am about nine weeks pregnant, which proves that the baby was conceived the night we slept together." She urged me to take a look by nodding her head, her wavy hair bouncing.

Two pink lines. That was what I first noticed when I took the pregnancy tests. Disgusted she peed on them. I felt nothing because I was sure it wasn't mine. Daisy was just trying to play games with me for her cruel intentions.

"Listen, this is my first time explaining myself to someone. I want you to keep your mouth shut and hear me out. You're going to be a father in seven months whether you accept it or not. I didn't ask for this either. I'm only telling you this because you have to know but I don't want anything from you."

"I don't believe you. You're nothing but a gold digging slut. Pretty sure it's Keith's baby but since Ken isn't ready to take responsibility, you're trying to frame me."

She pulled back to glare daggers at me. Keith, a rival jock to me was Daisy's on and off boyfriend with a character and looks that fit the description of a ken doll. H had slept around with lots of girls of Maxwell High. Born with a golden spoon in his mouth and had anything he wanted with just a snap of his fingers. From breaking into the girls' changing room to prank calling his teachers at night and freaking the shit out of them. Typical spoiled brat.

"I was abstaining for three months before we slept together. Moreover, I had never slept with a guy while drunk. You were the first guy to break the rule. I never planned on getting pregnant with your child. I have dreams to fulfil too but when fate comes crashing, I have to accept things the way they are." Shooting me a fierce stare that went straight to my core, her eyes glittered irritation and impatience.

I couldn't find the words to say. It felt like they were stuck in my throat. Her words suddenly burnt me like acid and my head spun for a few seconds. The only reason I agreed on was sleeping with her, because the morning after the party, I woke up in a state of disarray and a massive hangover, only to find her soft, naked body pressed against me.

It was such a shame a beautiful girl like Daisy was robbed off of her life. Even though I despised her for her cruelty and inept behavior, I still thought she deserved better than this. She was just seventeen and having a baby already. Not only was she going to miss out her teenage lifestyle but also adapting and preparing for the hardship of motherhood at an early age. The only obstacle was I need to find the truth about what actually happened that night to prove her right.
