Chapter 2: School Hallways
Note: Thanks to the reviews and the cons about the beginning. Remember, this is my first time, I don't know what people are expecting from fan fictions. Also, please send me a review about the idea about my next story located in the introduction. Thank you for your help!
disclaimer: I do not own The Secret Life of the American Teenager, it rightfully belongs to ABC Family.
Amy was walking to her locker waiting for Madison and Lauren for a word of advice. While she was heavenly walking, she noticed Ben watching her. She smiled at him and walked towards him, ignoring her friends by their lockers. Amy gave him her French horn and her books, while her friends looked at them suspiciously.
(I'm pretty sure you know about the scene, so I'll skip it and go right to the part that I make up…)
Amy was walking out of the band room with her books and cell phone. She was expecting a call from Ben. When she was almost to her locker, she saw Madison and Lauren dashing over to her.
"Amy, about the rumor," Madison was panting, "I'm innocent, I did not-" Amy stopped her by turning red and widening her eyes. "What rumor? I thought I said it never happened. Did you two do something?"
"Listen, Amy." Lauren put her hand on her arm. "There's something going on that you and Ricky, did something." She made it seem as calm as possible. "Hey, it won't be that bad. It's not like they know you're pregnant."
Amy started turning her hand into a fist. "Not that bad? Do you know what would happen if everyone in the whole school knew? And if Ben knew, what would happen? Do you know who started this?"
Madison sighed. "It was probably Ricky. You know he wants everyone to know about his reputation, I mean come on, we're better than that." Madison unrolled her hand out of a fist. "Really, Amy, you need to calm down about this."
"She's right, I agree with Madison. I think Ben will be ok, I mean, he is your boyfriend, right?"
Amy nodded. "He'll be my boyfriend once he tells me I am or if he loves me, after all, we only had one date. And you two are right. I mean, no one knows I'm pregnant." Amy sat down on a bench and sighed. "I hope he calls me soon." She watched people pass by, watching for Ben or checking for calls.
Meanwhile, Ben was walking down the hallways looking for something to do. It was almost the end of school. He went to the band room and dropped off his cymbals. He noticed Amy's French horn. "Hmm, what was I supposed to do today that involves Amy."
Someone tapped his shoulder and he turned around with wide eyes. "You were supposed to call her." It was Ricky. He had a cold look on his face. "Not much you could do now with that rumor going on around school."
Ben shrugged. "What are you talking about? There's a rumor going on about Amy? Yeah, right."
"Wow, you're even more of a nerd than I thought. See, Amy needs a man like me. So, are you the guy she's seeing? I tried to get a date with her, and she told me she was with someone." Ricky crossed his arms.
"Yes, I am. And don't you have Adrian to be with you?" He snickered and turned around to call Amy.
"Wow, you do know what goes around here. How impressive. See you later, geek." Ricky left and went to Adrian's home leaving Ben in the dust.
Ben called Amy. She was at home making dinner with her mom. As Ben got out of the school, he was waiting for someone to answer. Meanwhile, Amy was rinsing off her hands and she heard her cell phone ring. She dried off and answered.
"Hello?"
"Amy, it's me Ben."
"Oh, I was waiting for you to call me."
"So, do you want to do something tomorrow? It's Saturday."
"Sure, but first, do you know about the rumor?"
"Well, yeah, Ricky told me, but he didn't tell me what it was."
"Do you want to know?"
"If it makes you more comfortable, ok. But if it makes you sweat or anything, fell free to not tell me and just live life."
She giggled. "Of course it'll make me more comfortable. It's about me and Ricky."
"Oh."
"I, did something, with him during the summer."
"You didn't-" he was stopped by Amy.
"I slept with him. I'm sorry, Ben. Does it make you mad or something?"
"Umm, well, it doesn't matter. You're Amy Juergens, the girl that I love."
"Uh, Ben, we only had one date."
"Yeah, one date, and a thousand phone calls. Sure, it's a little early to proclaim my love for you."
He heard Amy giggle a little bit. He began getting his voice into a higher tone. "Ok, if you don't feel that way, don't feel free to obligate."
"Ok, I love you, too."
"Seriously."
"Yeah."
"That's great, now we could start saying it all the time!"
"Uh…"
"Well, not all the time, but we could say it when we hang up, you know, like grownups. Um, good night Amy, I love you."
"Good night Ben, I love you too."
Thanks for reading! Please review so I could make this story better or to say if the Adrian/Jack story is a good or bad idea. Also, if you could, please send me suggestions for upcoming chapters. (Please include a chapter title, too!)
