Esmeralda's POV

Leah... I'm pregnant.

I write on a piece of paper and then hand it to my best friend.

What?! Does Paul know yet?

Paul. He's the love if my life. And no. He doesn't know yet, and I don't know how to tell him.

No.

God, Ez! You're only a sophomore!

I know, Leah. Please don't lecture me about how Paul was a junior and too mature for me.

I won't.

I'm scared

Don't worry Paul loves you, he won't leave you.

My eyes widen.

I wasn't scared about that.

...

My mom... She kicked me out this morning.

You can stay with me, Ez. My mom and dad won't mind.

Thanks.

No prob. And I didn't get to say it this morning... But happy birthday Ez.
