I am in class and Oliver walks in he sees me and runs over.
"How was the date?,did you....?".
""No we didn't and It went really great".
I go back to copying notes and then Katie walks in and my heart drops. She has no idea that she might have something starting to grow inside of her. I have to find Casper so we can tell her.
"How was the date?" she says so happily that I almost tell her about her situation.
"It went great " I say trying to not sound like I'm hiding anything.
I look at Katie for a while and then focus my eyes on Oliver. He is running his fingers through his dark brown hair and then flipping it. He is slightly attractive but I have another man in my life so I don't think to much of it.
Then I notice something on the right side of his neck , it looks like a bruise on his neck.
"Is that a bruise on your neck?"I ask.
"Yea...its nothing". He says in a way to where It really isn't anything to worry about ,so I won't . Besides I have more important things to worry about.
I go to lunch at the campus food court and while I get my food I am looking at my list. I am adding two things which are smoke weed and get pregnant. they are bad combinations but I plan on getting pregnant a very long time from now and I will probably smoke weed in the next month or so.
"Heyyy...." I say walking towards Caspar.
"How'd the date go"he said looking like he hasn't slept in days.
"Good....but that doesn't matter ....you have to tell her before she finds out herself". I say trying to be sincere without trying to make him cry.
"I can't....she will be so stressed and unhappy and...."he puts his head in him hands .
"Hey Caspar , Hey Claire,"Katie is walking toward us.
Caspar starts eating to avoid talking to her but it isn't helping.
"So...Im planing my birthday which is in a month and I need you to help me pick out a bikini. it's going to be at the pool". Katie says with so much excitement that Caspar has to get up and get another drink to avoid the conversation.
" I want to lose a little weight so that I can look good in my bikini". She continues.
"Katie.......go to are room......I have to tell you something....". I say in a steady voice to keep myself from crying.
"Okay...."she says in curiosity.
I walk to the nurse to ask her for a pregnancy test and explain everything which probably made Caspar and Katie expelled because we are not allowed to have any sexual activity on the campus.
I put it in my purse so I don't attract any unwanted attention. I walk in the room and Caspar and Katie are on the bed . Katie's face is in the pillow sobbing and I see a tear rolls off Caspar's cheek.
"Umm...Katie...... you need to take this test...go in the bathroom...". I say in sympathy.
She slowly gets up not even looking at Caspar but she looks at me. she looks the complete opposite she did this morning and I see fear in her eyes. She take the test from my hand and walks in the bathroom and closes the door.
About 10 minutes later she comes out and gives me the test. we have to wait 2 hours to see results and I find something on the floor.
It's s box of condoms. I open it and all of them have holes in them
"Caspar do you know that your condoms have holes in them?" I ask.
"No.....I've had that box for about a month and they shouldn't have holes"He says fearfully.
"How many times Caspar.....how times have you had sex with Katie using these?"
".........Three"he says in a shaky voice.
"So..... she has been pregnant for a while now...about a week or so?"I ask him.
"I didn't know....they were the cheapest ones I could buy!!!!"he says knowing now that it is more than the condoms fault.
It's about an 2 hours later and Katie is sleeping and Caspar looks so tired but he stays awake. I look at the test and I drop it on the ground which wakes Katie. she grabs it off the floor and stares at it for a minute.
She shoves her face in the pillow and sobs for the rest of the night. Caspar leaves with eyes filled with tears and the weight of the world on his shoulders. I fall asleep knowing my friends lives are over.
