First day of senior year and I'm already running late. This morning Paxton was not cooperating, she wouldn't let me brush her hair, she wouldn't eat, and by the time I finally got her dropped off at my parents, school was starting in 10 minutes. So, once I pulled into the parking lot, the nerves hit. I hadn't been to school since sophomore year, when I got pregnant and had Paxton. Two years ago, the best thing that ever happened to me entered my life. After 9 months of pregnancy and 14 hours of Labor, Paxton Nicole Stewart entered my life. Since then, I have been doing my education online so I could raise her. Now it was my senior year and I really wanted to be able to walk across the stage at graduation and have all the other benefits of a senior, like prom. After a few minutes of just thinking, I heard a tap on the window; it was my best friend Demi. I've known her since I was in kindergarten when she threated to beat up Selena because she took my sandwich. Since that day, she has been there for everything, all the doctor's appointments, all the late nights; she even stayed at my apartment for the first couple weeks after Paxton was born. I really couldn't ask for a better best friend.
So, as we get out and start walking into the school, all eyes are on me, The girl who got pregnant sophomore year in a drunken one night stand with a guy who was 20. I remember that night like it was yesterday. It was just a regular Saturday. Mom and dad were fighting like normal and I just needed to get out of there. So, I snuck out and went to the local club. How I got in? I have my ways. As soon as I walked in, I met eyes with him across the club. He walked over with that boyish charm and started flirting with me. Then, he offered to buy me a drink. Normally, I wouldn't drink but I just needed the pain to go away from my parents so I decided to only have one. An hour and four drinks later, I was in the middle of the dance floor dancing with a 5th drink in my hand and, after that, I couldn't remember anything. The next thing I knew was I was waking up in a hotel room with a killer head ache. That was then when I felt the strong arms around me and the lack of cloths on my body. I knew I had to get out of there so I carefully got out of his arms and got dressed and went home. I haven't seen or spoken to him since that night.
Once we get into class, we find out seats and wait for the teacher to walk in. Multivariable Calculus, this class should be fun, note the sarcasm. The class that I was really looking forward to was studio art. Drawing was my passion, I've been drawing since I was little, starting off with flowers and rainbows to landscapes and People. My favorite thing to draw though has got to be Paxton. My baby girl. Oh how I miss her so much.
"Miley" I heard Demi say and I zoned back in.
"Yeah?"
"Did you hear anything I just said?"
"Of course, you were talking about you date with Michel last night."
"Nice save but last night was amazing….."
She just went on and on about Michel, those two have been dating for almost 2 years now, and all they ever talk about it each other. I don't mind really, just sometimes I get told things that I don't want to know. I guess though if both of your best friends are dating, that's what you get. Finally calc is over and now it's time for government. That class shouldn't be that bad; at least I thought so until I walked in and saw who was in there. Selena Russo. The biggest whore in the school, also known as the one who told the whole school I was pregnant, but that story is for another time.
The rest of the day just drags on and finally it's my last class, studio art. This year we got a new teacher because the old art teacher got married in Vegas and quit her job this summer. No one knows anything about this new teacher other than his name is Mr. Lucas. So am I'm sitting there sketching random pictures, the bell finally rings, and the teacher walked in. I almost ran out of the room crying once I saw who our new teacher was. Nicholas Lucas, also known as the father of my daughter.
