Previously on The New Girl:
Jack's POV:
We walked into school for another year, same hallways, same students, same first day as always.
Until, I saw a girl, she looked new and I have never seen in around before. She also, looked lost, so me being my normal friendly self, I decided to go and try to help her, as well as introduce myself.
"Hi, I'm Jack. You seem to be a little lost, do you need some help?" I ask and she shyly nods and points at her schedule, locker number, and a note to take to the school's office.
"1o6 is right here." I say and walk her over to her locker, which is right next to Kim's and across the hall from mine.
"And your first class is History, Kim could walk you there since she's in the same class, and the office is up the hall and take a right." I say with a smile.
She nods and walks off to the office and I walk over to my friends.
"Who was that?" I ask Kim.
"Erin Wilkes, the new girl from Miami, Florida." She says and I nod.
Something seems mysterious about this girl. Since not one time did she talk to me or lift her head from looking at the floor.
I may not know what is so mysterious about this girl, but I want to find out.
Erin's POV:
It's my first day in a new school and I'm already lost trying to find my way to my locker, the office and my first class.
I see out of the corner of my eye, a guy, about my age walking up to me and I look up to see who it was but quickly look back down when I see a flashback.
"Hi, I'm Jack. You seem to be a little lost, do you need some help?" He says and I nod and point at my schedule, my locker number and a note I need to take to the office.
"1o6 is right here." He says and walks me over to a locker where I take out my book for my first class and I turn back around.
"And your first class is History, Kim could walk you there since she's in the same class, and the office is up the hall and take a right." I nod at his direction to the office until it hit me. Kim? As in my best friend since we were in diapers Kim Crawford?
I walk towards where he pointed out the office was and I slightly glance over my shoulder to look at him and his friends and I see Kim slightly glance at me and smile.
I smile back then walk to the office.
Jack's POV:
It was free period and I walk over to my locker and put my books in there and I turn around to see that girl at her locker.
What did Kim say her name was? Erin?
I walk over to her with a smile and she looks up.
"Hi." I say with a smile.
"Hi, Jack was it?" She asks with a shy smile.
"Yes, that's me." I say and smile.
"I'm Erin." She says with a bright smile that can just melt your heart. Erin, I thought that was her name.
"Well it's nice to meet you." I say and offer my hand.
"Nice to meet you too." She says shaking my hand.
"What are you reading?" I ask finally noticing the book in her hand.
"Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier." She says and turns to put her book into her locker.
"Cool, that's a good book." I say and she smiles.
"You've read it?" She asks, and it might just be me, but I thought I heard a slight southern accent.
"Yes I have." I say returning the smile.
"I'm sorry about not talking earlier, I was kinda shy." She says and her face looks pained and she grabs her stomach.
"It's ok. Are you ok?" I ask her worried.
"I'm fine. Excuse me." She says politely and runs off.
"Hey Jack." Kim says.
"Hey Kim, what's wrong with Erin? She ran off pretty fast and kinda seemed sick." I asked.
"Morning sickness, she gets in the afternoon." Kim says.
"Morning sickness? You don't get that unless…. You're pregnant…" I say trailing off.
"I know, that's because Erin is pregnant." Kim says and my eyes widen.
Chapter 2: Why Is She Scared?
Jack's POV
Pregnant? That sweet, shy, innocent girl I just met is pregnant!? How is that even possible? She seemed like such a good girl who'd never do anything like that. No, no, this can't be right. It can't be.
"Jack? Jack, you okay?" Kim asked with a concerned look on her face. She's known me long enough to tell when something' bothering me.
"Huh? Oh uh y-yeah. I'm fine. Did you just say Erin was pregnant?" I asked, even though I know she did. Kim sighed.
"Yes Jack, she's pregnant. You were going to find out at some point or another. Just don't go spreading it around school; she's been through enough" Kim said with a look of warning before she walked off to her first period class. I just stood there dumbfounded. What did Kim mean by 'she's been through enough'? Is the father not in the picture? If that's the case, I can't even imagine what that poor girl must be feeling.
As I was about to leave to go to my class, I see Erin walk out of the bathroom looking around like she was lost again. The poor girl looked so sick too. I walked over to where she was standing, and when she saw me she ducked her head slightly. Okay, I know she's shy, but why does she keep doing that?
"Hey Erin, you okay?" I asked, purposely leaving out the fact that I know what's wrong. She just nodded without really looking up.
"Y-Yeah"
"Do you know where your class is?" I asked trying to keep up the conversation. Don't ask why, but I feel the need to stay near her; almost like I need to protect her and her baby from something.
"N-Not really. I was g-going to go with Kim, but I don't know where she is" she said stuttering. It's kind of cute how shy she is, but I wish she could be more open with me.
"Do you want me to walk you there? I know where Kim's class is" I offered.
"N-No, that's okay. I'm sure I can find it" she said before hurrying off again. I sighed. What am I going to do about this?
Erin's POV
I didn't want to seem rude, but I couldn't be anywhere near that Jack guy any longer than I had too. He's real nice and all, but Jonah was too at first. I refuse to go down that road again, especially now that I have my baby to watch out for.
"Erin, there you are. I'm so sorry, I forgot I was supposed to show you to class. I'm just so used to walking in here on my own" Kim said as she motioned me to a seat beside her. I sat down next to her, assuring her it was alright.
"So you feeling okay?" Kim asked me.
"Yeah, as good as I can be" I said sighing. She just patted my arm with a knowing look. At least I have Kim. She's always been my best friend, and she's the only one that knows my secret. Not that I'm pregnant; I'm sure the whole school will know that by the end of the week if I'm even that lucky.
"Did you see Jack again?" she asked changing the subject.
"Yeah, he was standing over there when I got out of the restroom"
"Well what do you think of him? He's a black belt at my dojo, you know" she informed me.
"He seems alright. I mean, he's nice and all, but Kim, you know I can't-"
"It's okay Erin, I know what you mean. Can you just try not to be too scared around him? Trust me, the three guys at my dojo are awesome. Milton's real nice to everyone, even though he can be a bit...strange at times, Jerry is a major flirt but he would never hurt anyone, and Jack is a big sweetheart. They're all some really great friends so just give them a chance at least" Kim said. I still wasn't too sure about all this.
"I don't know Kim, you know why I get scared. Just give me a little time"
"Alright, just give them a chance at least"
"I'll try" I said sighing.
