1Graziella sure has been acting strange lately, thought Velma to herself as she waited for her best friend by Doc's candy store. They were going to catch a movie, something they hadn't done in what seemed like ages. Ever since they had met Ice and Riff , it seemed as though they never had any girl time. Not that Velma minded. She adored Ice and she knew he loved her, too. No, that wasn't the problem. The problem was Graziella. She seemed to be distancing herself. Velma hadn't seen her smile or laugh in weeks, and whenever she called to ask if she wanted to hang out, she was always too tired or sick. At first, Velma thought Graziella might be having problems with Riff, but he seem just as confused as she did. But she always did try to cheer up around the boys, especially him. As trampy as some people said she was, Graziella's heart belonged to the leader of the Jets, and it always would.
So, Velma had been really glad when she got a call from her friend asking her if she wanted to go see a Saturday matinee. Maybe she's finally ready to talk about what's been bugging her, Velma silently hoped.
"Hey!" Velma turned to see Graziella walking quickly up the block.
"Ooblee-oo!" Velma shouted back with a giggle. She was extremely relieved to see that Graziella's face seemed nice and flushed, the way it used to. Her grin was from ear to ear, her eyes shone, even her auburn hair seemed shinier. She gave her friend a quick hug and the two began walking arm in arm towards the movie theater. They chatted and laughed about just everything there was to walk about, but as soon as Velma mentioned the boys, Graziella turned pale and her eyes got that faraway look.
"What is it, what's wrong?" asked Velma, suddenly very alarmed. "Is it Riff?"
Graziella looked away for a few moments. When she turned back, the tears she had been holding in for so long began pouring down her face. They were hot and scorched her skin like fire. "Oh, Velma!" she cried, and then burst out sobbing.
"Shhh, c'mon, it'll be okay. Let's sit down over here and you can tell me everything," Velma said soothingly, while coaxing Graziella over to the nearest bench.
"Oh, Velma, I don't know what to do! I'm so scared!" Graziella whispered, because she knew saying it out loud would make everything even more real.
"What? What happened?" Velma asked, whispering as well. Graziella was usually so tough and she couldn't figure out what could get her friend so upset.
"Vel," Graziella said even more quietly, while attempting to dry her eyes with tissues from her purse, "I'm pregnant."
