Chapter 1

He glanced out the window and nearly laughed when he saw her running across the front lawn toward the parking lots of Lake View High School. He knew exactly what he needed to do.

He raised his hand and asked his teacher for a pass to the nurse, he made up a fairly believable lie about having eaten something that something he'd eaten "didn't agree with him" a phrase he had heard his mother use often as an excuse to go puke her guts out after dinner every night. He felt a rush as he grabbed his backpack and raced out of the classroom bypassing the nurses' and principal's offices and ducked out of the school's agricultural entrance which was less risky than trying to run across the front lawn.

He saw her car parked and waiting for him and he nearly passed out. Considering he was a straight 'A' student in the biology club, he didn't exactly have a record for skipping class. She on the other hand was a straight 'C' student who didn't care, and had a record 5 miles long which barely included skipping class.

He dashed up to the pretty red volts wagon bug.

"Hey baby!" She said has he sat down in the driver's seat. "I was almost certain you were going to chicken out! Ms. Paquin can be a bitch!" She leaned over and gave him a kiss.

"I know, I thought my heart was going to stop! But now that I know what to do I can start skipping with you more often!" He kissed her back and started the car. "Where to, my lady?" He said putting on a fake British accent.

"The beach," She laughed pulling off her shirt to expose her new hot pink bikini top. Sitting back she thought about how different their relationship was from the way the people at school though of it, most people thought of them as weird, or dating across "class". What most people didn't realize was that Luka Kovac, age 18, who moved here from Croatia 3 years ago, had been the best boyfriend Abby Lockhart, age 16, had ever had. Luka had picked her up from the major depression she had been in with her last boyfriend, an ass named Richard who had used and abused her both physically and emotionally.

She gazed at him longingly and ran a hand through his thick, dark hair. He smiled and looked back at her and when they were caught at a red light, he leaned over and gave her a long, deep kiss.

"You know if it was me driving I would have blown that light!" She laughed when the light turned green.

He smiled and hit the gas, speeding off, "Yes, well I think I should have a rule against breaking more than one law a day!" He reached over and grabbed her hand, placing it on his thigh.

About 10 minutes later they arrived at Lake Michigan Beach. She quickly grabbed the keys and opened up the trunk, revealing 2 towels, a picnic lunch and a large umbrella. "Wow, you were prepared Abby!" Luka laughed, kissing her full on the mouth and spinning her around as she screamed and laughed.

When he set her down he gathered up all the stuff and they walked out onto the beach, knowing it wouldn't be too crowded as it was only May. Luka laughed as Abby ran ahead her jean mini skirt blowing up in the wind and her bikini top nearly blinding him when the sun hit it.

After they set up their spot she opened up the picnic basket and pulled out a pair of his swimming trunks, "Here, go put them on, I don't think they will taste too good with our pb&js!!"

"Are you kidding me!? I'm not going out into that water! It is freezing cold!" He yelled grabbing the trunks.

He knew she was going to make him go swimming with her so he grabbed her hand a pulled her to the bathroom, after quickly checking to make sure no one was there he pulled her into the women's room and locked the door. He pushed her against the wall and began feeling all over from pulling her long light brown hair out of it's hair elastic to unzipping her skirt to reveal the bottoms of her pink bikini. She smiled against his lips and began undressing him as well; they both knew they were going to need that swim in just a little while.

Chapter 2

Luka smiled at Abby from across the class room, but his heart pounded sadly when she didn't smile back. He could tell something was terribly wrong by the way she had been avoiding him and now he knew something was up because she had deliberately avoided his gaze. It had been almost 6 weeks since their encounter at the beach, but they had been having fun since then, granted it had been both their first times and it was awkward for a day or two, well Abby's first time giving herself to someone; Richard had taken her first time forcefully, but she had never told Luka that. That was until about a week ago, when Abby stopped returning his calls, stopped answering his text messages and stopped sitting with him at lunch, he thought he saw her ducking into the girl's bathroom with her lunch tray a few days ago.

Quietly he got up and asked Ms. Paquin for a hall pass, as he left the room he dropped a folded sheet of paper onto her desk, careful not to let the teacher see it.

With a sad smile she opened it:

"Abby,

I know there is something wrong, please don't shut me out like this; I need you to talk to me, meet me at your car in 5 minutes. Please.

Love Luka"

Abby brushed a tear from her eye and folded the note carefully as to not ruin the sentiment behind it. Knowing she couldn't avoid him forever she placed a hand on her abdomen, she needed to tell him. Her heart pounded as she waited for the teacher to go to the back of the room to answer a question, and ducked out of the room.

She avoided her normal dash across the front lawn, not feeling as daring today and took the agricultural exit the way Luka always did and walked slowly to her car dreading the moment she got there.

Luka smile brightened when she opened the passenger door, he quickly started the car and drove off. It only took a minute for her to realize where they were headed; he was taking her to the place where it all began.

The entire 20 minute ride was completely silent, but their act in the bathroom was replaying over and over in her head. When they arrived she jumped out and ran to the bathroom not bothering to notice he went to the trunk to get their bathing suits.

"Abby, come one baby, please come out," he said pounding on the bathroom door, "Baby, don't shut me out." His let out a sigh when he heard the bathroom lock open.

Pushing the door open he slipped inside, locking it behind him, knowing that whatever was about to go down, they needed to be alone.

He grabbed her hand when she turned away from him, shame written on her face, "Abby, sweetheart, don't push me away." He pulled her to his chest where she burst into tears.

When she finally stopped crying Abby looked into his eyes, those deep, loving brown eyes she had fallen in love with. "I don't know how it happened." she whispered.

"What? What happened?" He said instantly tensing up, fearing the worst.

"Luka, I'm so sorry baby, but..."

He was confused, she sounded like she was about to tell him horrible news but she was still calling him baby, "but what honey?"

"I'm pregnant."
