Our Friendship Circle

2 - Lunch

"You alright sweetheart?" Catherine asked as Jane sat down at the circular table, kissing the side of her girlfriend's forehead. 

"Yeah, I'm fine, baba," Jane smiled and rest her head Cath's chest temporarily, before sitting up again, to join in the group conversation.

"You two are actually relationship goals!" Anna laughed, twirling her fork in her spaghetti. It was true, and everyone knew it.

Jane giggled and began twiddling with a strand of hair that hung neatly from her high ponytail. Her long blond hair ran down her back and past her waist, on the odd occasion she wore it down. Typically, it was carefully done up, each strand crossing another in a tight bun at the top of her head; to keep it out of the way.

"Have you decided what to do yet?" Anne piped up from the other side of the table.

"What do you mean?" Jane's voice was dense with confusion.

"I mean about the baby, what did your mum say?" She clarified, as if it were obvious, keeping a low voice.

"Oh, right, Umm, she doesn't know..." Shamefully, Jane looked down, knowing she should have said something. But her parents would have murdered her and she wasn't joking. Coming from a very religious family, her mother would be highly disappointed just knowing she had had a boyfriend, so Jane could just imagine the look on her mother's face finding out her daughter's pregnant as a teenager.

"Jane!" Cathy exclaimed, but then lent into the group to whisper, "You're 15 and four months pregnant, you need to tell her. Soon." The bell rang, finishing her statement for her.

"Bye suckers! Free period! I'm going!" Anna threw her bag over her shoulder and backed away from the table.

"Anna, we're year 11, we don't have free periods..." Kat reminded her.

"It's Maths with Mr McWint. I'm skiving." She replied blankly.

"Yeah, I would too." Kat confessed "See you at the spot Anna!"

"See ya!"
