A/N: This something new I'm trying and this chapter is kind of short since I just wanted to see what everyone thought of this idea. But as I wrote before this is modern day/AU and it takes place in the U.S. and King Henry is a State senator and for the sake of this story I gave Henry and Francis the last name Newman. But please read and review, as I will only write more if people want it.
When Kenna got out of her car in front of Cambridge Academy, she knew something was wrong. The people who were just talking in front of the lawn just stopped talking and looked at her and whispered. What was going on? She thought as she proceeded to walk into the building. She looked down at her school uniform to make sure she hadn't left her blouse open or something but everything looked just fine. When she got inside, everyone else was doing the same thing. She even noticed a couple of teachers staring at her as well. Penelope, a girl who was a scholarship student here but she didn't understand how since she was as dumb as a rock, gave her a disdainful look and turned to her friend and said "slut," loud enough for her to hear it. Okay what was really going on here?! This was getting just plain weird. She saw her best friend Mary Stuart standing in the hallway talking to her boyfriend Francis. Great, maybe she'll clear things up for her. She walked over to them. "Hey guys," she said smiling. Mary looked down while Francis looked her up and down with disgust and rolled his eyes at her and walked away. What was his problem?
"Kenna, please tell me it's not true," Mary whispered to her.
"I don't even know what you are talking about? Why is everyone acting so weird around me?"
"You really have no idea? You don't watch the news or read the internet pages?" Mary asked her surprised.
"Please just tell me what you're talking about," She said impatiently. Mary sighed and pulled out her cell phone typed something then gave it to Kenna. "Just read this." Kenna took the phone and her heart started beating a mile a minute at what she was reading: "State Senator caught in tryst with teenage girl"
"Shit!" she thought. The article was about her affair with Francis' dad! How did anyone find them and there were even pictures of them in her car and it was clear that she was on her knees. She continued to read:
"Senator Henry Newman was caught with an underage girl in a burgundy Ford Mustang behind a closed restaurant. The girl whose name is Kenna Reynolds turns out to be a junior at Cambridge Academy and therefore a classmate of Senator Newman's son Francis. Sources have learned that Ms. Reynolds is also a cheerleader and has been carrying on with the senator for several months now. Senator Newman is no stranger to controversy as the news of his older illegitimate son by a former mistress came out during the campaign period late last year. Several people were shocked Senator Newman had won after the news came out. However we aren't sure if he'll be able to get out of this one as there is the possibility of statutory rape charges being pressed since Ms. Reynolds is only sixteen years old."
Kenna didn't want to read anymore. That was a couple of months ago and they were acting like it was yesterday. It wouldn't matter though. No one would believe that it was long over not even her parents who she was sure knew by now. She couldn't help but cry. She had no idea what she was going to do now.
