The Show Must Go On

Dude...

Ricky's POV

I left Nini's house not knowing what to think of what she just told me.

Good, we can be back together because of this or bad, because we are 16.

I walked to Big Red's house to explain what happened to him.

"Red!" I shouted as I ran into his basement.

"What is it Ricky?" He asked.

"I saw Nini earlier after talking to Miss Jenn and she was crying. I went over to comfort her and we went to her house and she told me that she is pregnant with my child" I urged out quickly "And I ran away. Again"

"Bro, did I hear you right?" He asked "Did you just say Nini Salzar-Roberts is pregnant with your child?" He confirmed.

"Uhh... Yes..." I sat down on the bed "What am I gonna do?"

"Maybe start by being in the baby's life" he suggested "Then after a while, boom, you are in Nini's life"

"Big Red, you come up with the best plans" I told him.

"Well, that is what I am known for" he smiled.

"Dude... It really isn't" I laughed at his comment.

"What does EJ have to say about this?" He asked.

"Nini is gonna tell him tomorrow. Or soon" I told him "I have to stay away from him for a while before he gives me a fist to the face"

"Agreed. That man is strong... Scary" he laughed.

"What do you want to do?" I asked him.

"Well, I was about to watch a High School Musical to get my head in the game for rehearsals" he told me.

"Can I join?" I asked "For Troy"

"Sure, why not!" He smiled.

We watched the movie and then I left and went home.

*The next day*

I walked into school today to see Nini and EJ talking. I kept an eye and ear on them to make sure Nini and the baby were not going to be harmed.

Nini's POV

I walked into school today and went to find EJ straight away.

"EJ" I shouted from down the hall at him.

"Nini! Hey!" He smiled at me.

"Can we talk now?" I asked.

"Sure, does here suit?" He put his arm over my shoulder.

"A little bit more private please" I asked him.

"Ok" he said, we walked into a corner that is pretty private "What's up?"

"I'm just gonna skip straight to the point" I told him "I am..."

"EJ we need you" Michael said.

"Ok, after rehearsals we will talk, Nini" EJ started to walk off.

"No EJ. It is no longer your business because we are over. I'm done with you" I made a scene, he turned around to look at me.

"Baby, you don't mean that" he told me.

"No EJ. I don't like the way that you don't accept me for who I am and always ask me to change" I told him, I have started, may as well finish "You won't listen to me when I need to talk to you and you don't realize when something is wrong. Ricky never did that"

Why did I bring up Ricky? This isn't about Ricky. Or is it?

"Wait. Ricky as in the one who couldn't say I love you? The one who broke your heart? I saved you from that Nini" EJ and I fought.

"At least he liked me for who I am than loving me for who he wanted me to be" I said and walked off.

I think that went well.
