They go to the same school but instead its a regular school. No boarding house. Everyone lives in a house with their family, not each other.
Nina's POV
After the months away at band camp I finally came home. I walked in my house and saw my mom putting food away.
"Hey,thank god your home. I was worried you marched over a cliff or something?"
"Nope,no cliff."
"Okay." She smiled. "So, how was band camp?"
"It was, interesting? And unexpected?"
"Unexpected? Isnt it just a bunch of geeks walking around playing instruments?"
"Hey! Im one of those geeks!"
"I know you are sweety." She smiled and rubbed my head.
"Besides, this geek might make it to State Championships."
"Ooh, State Championships. Thats exciting. Lets hope you bring home first place!"
I could hear the sarcasm in her voice. My mom never liked the band. She was glad that I liked it and it made me happy, but, she's never really cared for it. My dad didnt really like it either. He felt like my mom did when it came to that.
I smiled and walked away. The first place I went was the bathroom. I heard my mom faintly yell that she had made pot roast for dinner and there was still some in the fridge. But I didnt care. I was just really nervous about something that happened while I was away. I opened my French horn case and pulled out a brown bag I had hidden in my instrument. And from inside the bag I pulled out a pregnancy test.
I had already done what I needed to do before I got on the bus. I hesitated on looking at the little stick. But when I finally did, I felt sick.
Positive.
Maybe its wrong? It has to be? Im fifteen years old! I cant be pregnant! I havent started high school yet? I grabbed my things and ran to my room slamming the door behind me. I jumped on my bed, pulled the nearest pillow to my face, and screamed into it as loud as I can.
Two days later was the first day of high school. I was standing next to my locker with my two best friends, my only friends, and we were talking about our summer. I was listening to Mara talk until I looked past her shoulder and saw Eddie Miller. The drummer. The person who ,if the test was right, got me pregnant. Joy noticed that I had a distant look on my face and brought me out of my thoughts when she said, "Hey Nina, whats with the face? You look like were boring you?" "Uh, no, its not that. Im just thinking about something that happened at band camp."
"Like what? You told us everything that happened? All you did was talk to the other French horn girls, play music, and sleep? Thats not really anything to look back at?" Mara said looking confused. And sad that I wasnt paying attention to what she was saying.
I thought about wether or not to tell them. I mean, they are my best friends. They wouldnt judge me right? "Actually, thats not all that happened."
"What do you mean?" They both said at the same time.
"I-I had sex." I could see both their eyes widen, and then, close. They started laughing. Mara was the first to speak, "Nice one Nina. Like you had sex." I looked down and away, then I heard the laughing stop. Again, it was Mara, "Your joking right?" I shook my head. Now Joy spoke, "Oh no! What if yor pregnant?" I quickly put my hand on her mouth and shushed her. She pulled it away and began talking again, "Sorry. Uh, who was it?" I glanced at Eddie. He was leaning on his locker talking to his 'so-called' girlfriend Patricia. And that cheerleader girl was with them to, um, Amber Millington I think? I quickly remembered the question and looked back at them.
"He doesnt go to this school.
Fabian's POV
I was standing next to the water fountain with my friends Henry and Alice. /Im going to keep the real names for most of the people/ I saw Amber Millington run up to her boyfriend Mick Campbell. What I would give to be him right now. Henry and I were both staring at her when Alice slapped both our shoulders. "Really guys? Everytime you see that girl you both start drooling." "We do not! Well, Fabian might? But I dont!" "Hey! I dont drool! That much?"
Alice rolled her eyes and sighed. "Why is every guy in this school obsessed with her?" I was the first to answer.
"She's hot."
"She's a cheerleader."
"She's hot."
"You said hot twice?"
"Yeah, she's really hot."
Once again I got a slap on my arm from Alice. "Well she has a boyfriend. And she's a Christian."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"That she wont have sex until after marriage." Thats weird? A cheerleader who doesnt have sex? "What makes you think I want to have sex with her?" "When you said you would love to have sex with her?" I tried to remember when I said that. "Okay fine, who would have sex with me?" "You are really crazed with sex?" Henry put his hand on my shoulder. "So are you?" I noticed that Alice was looking around the hall. She pointed to a light blonde brunette next to two darker brunettes. Then she said, "Nina. She's a freshman, she plays the French horn in our school band,she lives next door to me, and I bet she's a virgin."
I didnt hear anything after band. I was too mesmorized by her. I figured it was probably weird that I was staring at a girl whom I have never spoken to and went back to Henry and Alice. "She's kinda cute."
"Yeah, but do you really think she'd be desperate enough to sleep with you?"
"No ones that desperate."
"Hey!"
"Sorry Fabes, but its true. Alice rubbed her hand on my shoulder and she and Henry walked away going to our next class. I saw Nina start walking my way, and I quickly moved to walk near her. Once she was a foot away I said, "Hey Nina." I was anxious to see what would happen next but she just said " Hey." And kept walking. Like she didnt even notice me?
I saw her walk near the next set of lockers. She paused, and continued walking. But with her head down. Then the schools bad boy, Eddie Miller, also known as the King of sex, said her name and she turned to face him. And they started talking? Why would she talk to him?
Eddie's POV
After practically begging Patricia to let me come over again tonight she finally said yes. We started talking until that weird Christian cheerleader girl came up to us. "Hi! Im Amber! Your Eddie Miller right? And Patricia Williamson?" Patricia scoffed and looked away. I thought I'd have a little fun and started talking to blonde. "Thats right. You are very pretty?" I saw Patricia widen her eyes and glare at me. Amber smiled and blushed. Then she said, "So, there gonna be this party at my church tonight, and I was wondering if you both would wanna come?" Patricia smiled at this. "I dont think we can. Because tonight Eddie and I are gonna be at my house. Having sex."
"Oh? Well, dont you wanna wait?" She started looking really flustered. "No, and even if we did, it's too late." Amber smiled and said, "No. You can always become a born again vigin." Patricia looked really confused. "What the hell is that?"
"Well, if you've ever had sex but know its a sin, and you really want to take it back, you can be born again and then you'll be a virgin."
Now I was getting confused? "How can you become a virgin if you've already had sex?"
Amber started explaining about all of that. And when she was done, she started talking about that church party thing again. Making Patricia so annoyed she left. I told Amber I would think about it. Making her smile and leave. I was about to leave too until I saw a familiar face walk by me. Looking like she was avoiding me. "Hey! Um, Nina right?"
She turned to me and looked really nervous. She just nodded. "Im kidding. Like I could forget that night we had at band camp." I smiled but she just bit her lip and looked down. "What, you dont remember?" "Uh,uh,no,I do. I just uh, I-" I started laughing. No girls ever gotten this nervous around me. "Dont worry. It wasnt even like we did anything. You got too freaked out and left. So, in a way, it never happened." She slowly nodded and quickly walked away.
