Love at Divergent High

Chapter 14: Genders

It has been about a month since the revelation that I am going to be an auntie came out. I am still shocked about the whole Caleb getting Susan pregnant thing, but I’m coping. Since he has told everyone him and Susan no longer look nervous because we are all helping them, though my parents did have to go back to work and have been away for a couple weeks they are still trying to help. Susan has come round the house a few times and she is a really nice person, I never knew her that well, but she is nice and I think she is going to be an amazing mum to my niece or nephew. Susan moved into the house last week so now four of us live here full time, well, soon there’s going to be five of us. They have started buying things for the nursery already. Like a cot, a wardrobe, a set of draws, a changing table, as well as a rocking chair, and a single armchair

Tobias and I have made bets on what the genders of both Marlene’s baby is going to be and what the gender of Susan’s baby is going to be. He thinks both of them are going to be boys and I think both of them are going to be girls. They both find our today what the babies are going to be and have agreed to come here and tell us after their appointments, which are at the same time. We both bet five dollars on each bet.

It is now eleven o’clock and their appointments aren’t until one so we have some time before we have to get out our money. Tobias and I are sitting at the table by the kitchen window, eating our cereal and talking about random things. We talk about the possibility of us having children someday and how much we would love to have children with the other. We talk about school. We talk about life.

We all went back to school last week, after the Christmas holidays. Though, the first week back was just us chilling around and talking about our holidays with the rest of our class.  Today is Saturday so we have no school today. Marlene and Susan go on maternity leave when they are six months pregnant; that means they still have another month at school before they get to have a load of time off. They won’t go back to school until six weeks after their babies have been born.

Our friends are coming round at half twelve to get ready for when they come back and tell us what their babies are going to be. We can’t wait. After they tell us the news we have all agreed to play some games. Such as truth or dare and never have I ever, the non-alcoholic version obviously. I can’t wait for tonight.

…

It is now two o’clock and everyone in the gang is gathered in my living room, waiting for Caleb, Susan, Uriah and Marlene to get back from the hospital. We all have our purses or wallets out, waiting anxiously for them to come home and tell us who has won the many bets that have been made in the group.

A few minutes later the door opens and in walks the four people we are waiting for. They stand in front of us with smiles on their faces. “So, what’s the verdict?” I ask.

“Well, we’re having a boy.” Says Marlene happily. I give Tobias five dollars and I see Zeke and Will receiving five dollars off Christina and Shauna.

“And we’re having a girl.” Susan says with a smile on her face. Tobias gives me back my five dollars and I see the boys doing the same. To be honest there was no point in making the deals in the first place if we all end up with the same amount of money that we started with.

“CONGRATULATIONS!” Zeke shouts. We all cheer and congratulate them on the genders of their babies.

It isn’t long before we’re all sat in a circle; Susan and Marlene are obviously sitting on the sofa because they won’t be able to get up from the floor with their big stomachs. “I’ll start.” Says Zeke, we nod and he looks around the circle for his first victim. “Tris, truth or dare?” He asks me.

“Dare.” I answer.

“I dare you to go and make a baby with Four.” Zeke says and Tobias looks at Zeke with shock on his face.

“WHAT THE HELL MAN?” Tobias shouts.

“I was joking, I mean, unless you want to go and make a baby, then you totally can, but it was a joke.” Zeke says.

“We can’t make a baby anyway, I’m on my period. What do you dare me to do Zeke?” I ask.

“I dare you to do the cinnamon challenge.” Zeke says.

“Hell no am I doing that again.” I say as I shrug my jean jacket off my shoulders.

“You have done it before?” Zeke asks me.

“Yeah, as a dare at my old school, my old friend made me do it and I am not doing it again. Christina, truth or dare?” I ask.

“Dare.” She says.

“I dare you to let Will put lipstick on you, but he has to be blindfolded and use his mouth, not his hand.” I say.

“Fine.” She says after thinking about it for a few seconds. I pass will a blindfold and he puts it on, I then put lipstick in his mouth and we watch as he crawls to Christina and puts the lipstick on her messily. Half of it doesn’t even end up of her lips. When he takes off the blindfold he takes one look at her and says sorry. She says that its fine but the rest of us are laughing so hard at how funny she looks. “Four, truth or dare?” She says.

“Truth. And Uriah, if you say Pansycake I will find one of your stashes of pop tarts and I will burn them.” Tobias says and Uriah looks scared.

“Have you and Tris done it yet?” Christina asks and Tobias and I both blush.

“Yes.” He mumbles in reply.

“I knew it. When did you do it?” She asks.

“You’re only allowed one question Chrissy.” I say because I know she hates that name.

“Fine Trissy.” She says. I hate that name.

“Uriah, truth or dare?” Tobias asks.

“Dare!” Uriah exclaims but soon he realises that it was the wrong choice by the evil look on Tobias’ face.

“I dare you to burn your pop tarts.” Tobias says.

“Hell no!” Uriah shouts as he takes off his t-shirt and leaving the room to try and save his pop tarts. We all laugh. This night has been great. I’m going to have a niece. Marlene and Uriah are having a son. We’re all happy and having a great time. I love my life.

Hey guys, hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading, please review.
