Love's Consequences (Sequel to Us) [l.t.]

The Silent Letter

KARINAS POV

* couple weeks later*

I was getting bigger by the day. I just hope it wasn't that noticeable to people when I go out in public.

"WOAH." Ary said as she walked in through my bedroom door. "You can't go out like that. You know people are gunna suspect and it could ruin careers. Especially Lou's." she plopped down on my bed.

I gave her an irritated look. "Gee thanks. Well it is November, I can just say I stocked up on wearing tens of thousands of winter coats!" I replied with a stupid smile on my face.

"Um no." She sad with a blank face and shook her head.

"Oh come on." I took a set on my computer chair. "I'm not that big. I packed on a few pounds."

"Yeah, but you're chunky." She snorted.

"I hate you, I really do." I said sarcastically.

"Uh huh. Sure." She laughed. I logged onto my laptop and pulled up Microsoft word.

"Why couldn't you do this on your own laptop?" I moved to the bed so she could get to the computer chair.

"I told, I forgot my laptop at home. My mom is mailing it to me. It should be here in a couple days." She frantically began typing away.

"What is this for?" I asked.

"You know, the paper for the creative writing class."

I fell backwards on the bed in agitation. "Fuccccckkk."

"I'm guessing you forgot." She but her lip.

"You don't say?"

"You know, you are a very moody person." Before u could reply with the 'I'm pregnant' banter, she began to talk again. "AND THEN SHE STABBED HER WITH THE KNIFE."

"Um what?" I pulled out my notepad from the bedside table and began jotting down ideas on what I should write my paper about.

"That's how I'm gunna finish the story. Anyways, why is knife spelled with a 'K'? I mean, there's really no point." She reclined back on the chair.

"Yeah, I never really thought about that." I wrote down 'Romance' on the list. I tapped the pen for a few seconds before I crossed it out. Cliche.

"I think it's really stupid. It's basically saying k-nife. K-nife." She laughed. "Some people are just plain stupid. "

"I know." I laughed. I wrote down 'Horror' on the list. " I Remember when Ms. Camacho taught us that in second grade. This bitch is stupid, she really is."

"This conversation is pointless, but I have to add that this bitch is still teaching. Do you see this shit?" She laughed.

"Actually no." I said matter of factly. She gave me 'Don't be a smart ass' look. "But how can you use the silent letter in your own personal life? Seriously." I tapped the pen impatiently on the pad and accidentally poked myself with it, getting a bit of ink on my wrist. "Ouch."

"Really though." I heard the printer turning on. She must be done. "Like my name is Aryana that's A-R-Y-K-A-N-A."

"Naw man, your name is Arykana." We both laughed at our stupidity. "We're such dumb asses."

"I know. Good times, good times. Hey." I pointed to my laptop. "Put some music on."

All of the sudden 'I Want It That Way' by the Backstreet Boys was blasting.

"Nice choice." I told her sarcastically.

"I wanted to listen to the oldies!" She protested.

"Please tell me, you're not gunna get up ad start dancing..." Frankly I was scared to see her dance. Not to be mean or anything, but that was one sight no one needed to see.
