That Girl

I could feel her eyes burning a hole in my stomach. I sighed and rolled my eyes hoping she'd take the hint. She didn't, of course, no one did. I did it again this time she responded: "What's the matter with you?" she said still staring at my stomach. "Nothing" I groaned and rolled my eyes again. I grabbed my lunch and walked off. "Kids these days no manners or self respect", she said to another lunch lady. If I. I looked around the room for my friend Adam, but I couldn't find him. I saw my old friends Ali and Jenna at my old table once they found out about me they stopped talking to me. They noticed me looking and started pointing and laughing. I looked around and I realized no one would accept me, at least not in my condition. I'd be called a slut, a hoe, a loser, and yet it was true. I found a table with only two kids a weird foreign exchange student and that kid who smells like bad cheese.

When I sat down I felt so alone. Everyone I ever loved deserted me. Now if you haven't already figured it out I'm pregnant. I looked down at my stomach and sighed this baby doesn't deserve to come in this world. Me being the only person who loves it. We decided we were going to keep the baby right when I found out I was pregnant.

I patiently waited as the pregnancy test to result. I sat on the floor hugging my knees hoping, begging it was negative. "You think it's done yet?" "No" I said. My boyfriend, Josh was being really supportive through this. Most boyfriends would run when they thought their girlfriend's were pregnant but not Josh he's the one who told me to buy the test. I looked him in the eyes "what if I'm pregnant?" he scooted closer to me and I sat on his lap. "Then we'll either keep the baby or give it up for adoption but you're not getting an abortion". I gave him a small smile "I wasn't planning on it." He kissed my forehead and said "go look" I slowly got up and went to the counter I grabbed the test and closed my eyes. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes. Tears started coming out of my eyes as I saw that pink plus sign. I fell to the floor. Josh ran over to me "Clare, Clare are you ok?" then he saw the test and his face went white. "I'm s-sorry" I barely choked out as I was sobbing. He held me and rubbed my back as he told me it would be ok. He looked me in the eyes. "Don't worry Clare we're in this together I love you". That's the last thing he ever said to me because that night he died in a car accident.
