As I walked through the doors at school, I immediately knew something was wrong. Everyone I passed gave me weird looks and kept pointing at me.When I looked away they would begin to talk in murmurs about something I couldn't hear.My mind raced as I increased my pace. What could've happened now?No. Please. It can't be.Adrian couldn't have. . .I clutched by books tightly to steady myself as I shook rapidly from head to toe. Why must everything bad happen to me? I refused to let the tears beginning to form in my eyes fall as I shoved my backpack into my locker and proceeded to look for somewhere to hide.As I hurried away I came across Jason, Kimberly and the rest of their gang leaning against the lockers.Kimberly eyed me as she sighted me."Slut." Someone coughed.I pretended not to hear, turning away."Went to get yourself pregnant didn't you?"That stopped me in my tracks. No, no. I felt my anxietKaugnay na kabanata

Jason DavenportI sat on one of the old chairs at the pool after practice. I'd wanted to take a swim as I was very sweaty, but I decided to sit and relax for a while.After all, there was no rush to head on home. After the incident regarding Dad and Ashley, I wasn't sure how I felt. I knew I felt a great deal of stupid. But mostly it was. . . pain. I'd wanted to be right. I'd needed to be right. Being right meant that Ashley would disappear from our lives and that Dad and I would have a chance to work on our relationship. Being right meant that I'd never have to regard anyone else as my mother. Being right meant that I wouldn't have to call anyone else 'mom' and have to experience the pain and anger that came with it. But I'd been wrong. Ashley was weird and annoying and way too girly for my liking. Plus I hated the fact that she was a younger woman. It irritated the shit out of me. I wasn't sure I would ever accept her completely. I still hated her for t

Amelia ForbesThe first thing Adrian did when he saw me at school today was to envelope me in a tight bear hug. I didn't know how to react at first but as seconds passed and I realized how much I actually needed the hug, I melted into his embrace. As he reached up to pat my head he whispered, "I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry, Mel."I gave him a small smile and nodded. I knew he was apologizing for everything that had happened with Jason. And I was. . . fine with it. He'd proved to be a good person and a good friend. And that was enough for me. We both avoided the conversation that was lurking in the air and instead talked about our upcoming exams and study sessions we needed to have.As we walked through the hallway together, I could hear the sneering and muttering of "slut" every now and then. Gripping my backpack tighter, I tried to ignore all of it and instead focused on my conversation with Adrian."Why, someone's preggo," A sandy haired boy in corduro

Amelia ForbesI had gotten to the bus on time. And now I was in second period trying not to fall asleep as Mr Redmey droned on and on about something. An hour later the class was over. I nearly cried out loud in joy, grabbing my books. For some reason I felt very sleepy, but I'd been fighting to control myself. Was it the baby? Or was the class just really boring? I placed a finger on my temple, willing my thoughts to go away. As I got up and trudged to the door, Mr Redmey called out, "Amelia?"I turned around in surprise and walked to his table. I secretly prayed it wasn't another debate he wanted me to participate in. I honestly had no energy for that. "You have a meeting with Principal Harris in. . ." He looked at his watch. "Thirty minutes."I concealed my frown. What was this about now? My grades? They'd gotten better since then, so what was it. Knowing he wouldn't be able to answer me, I nodded and proceeded to the principal's office. To

Jason DavenportIt had been a while since I'd hung out with the gang, especially with everything going on. Exams had started a few days ago and surprisingly, calculus had been pretty easy. Good.I didn't need Dad breathing down my neck and reminding me to study. Even though we both knew he could pay my way into any college. Speaking of college, the gang kept having conversations about their plans for college, Rory and Greg more interested in the hot girls they were going to meet. Smiling, I wondered if they would ever change. What if they did? Would we still be friends? These thoughts had been running through my head over and over again and I couldn't bring myself to answer them. Maybe because I already knew the answer to them. I resisted the urge to hiss. Suddenly everything was annoying to me. I needed to stop thinking and enjoy the last days I had with my friends. So I rejoined the conversation. "Whatcha gonna wear for prom?" Rory was asking Kimb

Amelia Forbes"You never told me you knew ASL," I said to Dani as we sat side by side on my bed. She only shrugged. "It never came up."She laughed when I pushed her sideways onto the bed. "Easy, Ammy. Why so serious?"When I didn't change my expression, she sighed. "Fine. I wanted to surprise you."My face dissolved. "Really?"She nodded, smiling.Something warm filled my chest. Having people do nice things for me still felt very weird. Plus, I was really beginning to like Dani, which was scary because it meant that I was left in permanent fear of wondering if she was going to leave me, let me down, hurt me. And I didn't like that. I was meaning to talk to her about it but there was no time yet.Inhaling deeply, I smiled at her and murmured a "thank you". "So. . ." She began. "You think Nana likes me?"I froze. She had called my grandma 'Nana'. Everyone else referred to her as 'your Nana' but Dani called her Nana. I figured and ho

Jason DavenportI didn't reply when I heard the knock on my bedroom door. I didn't feel like seeing anyone. And from the heavy sound, I knew it was dad knocking. After knocking twice without a response, he walked in. Surprisingly, he didn't get mad when he saw that I was awake and on my phone. Instead he only took a seat next to me. I sat up and put my phone down. "If you're here to talk about the thing with Ashley, I really don't feel like it."Dad's forehead creased. "What thing with Ashley?" I searched his face for any sign that he was denying it. But he really was baffled. She didn't tell him? Usually she'd jump at any chance to report me to my dad. "Anyway, I'm not here to talk about Ashley."I folded my arms. "Lately, we've been disagreeing a lot. Fighting over things we shouldn't be. And it's putting a strain on our relationship. We're supposed to be there for each other, especially since mom isn't here anymore."

Amelia ForbesI sucked in my breath as Benson finally took off the piece of cloth he had used to cover Nana's full length mirror. If I wasn't consciously present, I wouldn't have believed that the girl I was staring at right now was me. As I slowly twirled, my mouth fell open. I knew the dress Adrian's mom had picked out for me was nice but I didn't think it was THIS hot. "Well fuck," Dani whistled, as she walked in. "I just had an orgasm from staring at you."I whipped around, my eyes wide. "Dani! Stop being so nasty." I covered my eyes with my hands. She replied with a loud laugh and did a once-over in the mirror. She wore a baggy, all black suit that fell around at the ankles.Duh. Dani was the only person I'd ever met that could rock a baggy suit and make it look hot. "Oh shush. You look good, girl," She winked at me. Turning to Benson she said, "You did a great job on her hair and makeup y'know. It's awesome."I held

Amelia ForbesThe first group of people we saw when we stepped out of our limo was Kimberly and her minions. I swallowed nervously, trying to keep my head high. During the last few weeks of exams, the principal had made a public announcement concerning the rumors about me being pregnant. His last verdict was that anyone caught talking about it would be expelled. That helped in keeping them all quiet for a while. So I hadn't really crossed paths with her since. I didn't want any snide comments to ruin my day. You can do this, Mel. That phase of your life is over. The bullying, everything. She's got nothing on you. With the small pep talk and the comfort of having the three people who really cared about me by my side, I knew I could do it. Malia saw us first. She did a double take. Then looked away and reverted her gaze back to us. As recognition hit her, her jaw fell open and she tapped Kimberly urgently. Kimberly looked annoyed at
