John was putting some of his things away in his locker the following Monday morning when he heard someone had joined him and was now standing right next to him. "Is it true?"

The brown haired teen looked over at his blonde friend with confusion written all over his face. "Is what true?" He asked as he placed his book in his locker before shutting the door in front of him.

"The rumors," Chris responded.

"What rumors?"

"About Lita."

John waited for Chris to continue, but when he didn't, he spoke up himself. "You have to give me more than just two words at a time, I have no clue what you're talking about."

Chris didn't say anything for a moment as he looked around him to make sure no one was listening to the duo, he definitely didn't want to spread anything about his friend even though he was sure many people had already heard. "Um... is um... she pregnant?"

"What?" John asked surprised. "Why are you asking me that? Where did you hear that from?"

"So it's true, huh?" John didn't say anything in response and Chris took that as his answer. "Wow. Well um, I just heard some people talking about it. But they don't know it's you. I heard one of them say Edge's name so I'm pretty sure they all think it's Edge."

"I'm going to kill that bastard," John said as he began walking towards homeroom when he was for sure the other teen was the one who spread the news about Lita's pregnancy like he let it slip to Mickie just a couple of days ago.

"Wait," Chris began to say as he followed after his friend, "so it is his?"

John rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything right away, simply shaking his head in response. "No. He's... he told everyone, I'm sure he did. He just doesn't know how to mind his own damn business and keep his mouth shut. He was really pissed off when she told him about us and... everything basically."

"Hold on," the blonde teen began to say when he still couldn't get over the news, "so she is-"

"Yup," the brown haired teen answered before Chris had a chance to finish. He let out a sigh. "Yea... she is. She's... Yea." The other teen opened his mouth to say something, but John continued after a moment of silence. "Um... so who told you?"

"I just heard two different conversations about it just walking down the hallway. Then Randy asked me if I heard and if it was you because of whatever happened between you, Lita, and Edge during football practice on Friday. He said others on the team think you two were fighting over her and she's cheating on him with you or something like that."

John rolled his eyes. "He has a girlfriend. I don't care. I don't care about that. Screw him. Have you seen her yet?" Chris simply shook his head in response as John took off to look for Lita, hoping to find her before she found out just about the whole school was talking about her.

Meanwhile, Lita had just arrived to school along with Dawn, neither of the two knew what they were about to walk into. Unfortunately for Lita, both her and Dawn's phone were on silent so neither of the two noticed when John sent them a warning text, the brunette's had a little more detail then what was sent to the redhead because this was not something he wanted to tell her over a text message.

"Is it just me or is everyone staring at us? And is she pointing?" Lita asked as she gestured towards another student in the hallway.

"I'm pretty sure she's just talking about how much she loves my outfit today," Dawn began to say which made Lita roll her eyes in response. "You know these underclassmen look up to me and can't get enough of me."

Lita rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Sure thing. Whatever helps you sleep at night."

"I sleep perfectly fine, thank you very much. Well, other than the nights when you wake me up with the sound of you puking your guts out."

Lita rolled her eyes as the duo stopped at their lockers which were right next to each other. "Oh, that must be so hard for you."

"The sound is actually really disgusting, so yes, I would say it's difficult for me to hear all of that."

The redheaded teen opened her mouth to respond to her sister, but stopped herself when one of her books slipped from her hands and fell on the floor. "Oh," she jumped back, the book barely missing her feet.

"Are you okay?" The brunette asked the other teen who simply nodded in response.

Lita was about to grab her book off from the floor, but someone else beat her to it. "You should be a little more careful," another student said to her as he grabbed the book off from the floor and handed it over.

"Um, thanks," Lita said as she grabbed the book from Jeff and shoved it into her locker. The two used to be close friends, but grew apart around the end of sophomore year. She was sure alot of that had to do with the fact that she used to date his brother and that didn't end so well.

"Are you okay?"

"Yup."

Jeff just stood there for a moment as Lita pretended to look for something in her locker. The other teen was about to walk away, but he just couldn't leave without asking her what had been on his mind all morning. "So um, I heard this thing and I don't know if it was true or not and I know it's really none of my business, but we were friends once and I think you should know what people are saying about you whether or not it's true." He paused for a moment before continuing. "Um, so um, are you pregnant?"

Both Dawn and Lita were surprised but neither said anything at the moment as Dawn shut her locker door and turned her attention to her sister before looking over at the other teen. Lita shut her own locker door and turned around to face her former friend when she was able to get over the shock of what he just asked her. "No. Who did you hear that from?"

Jeff shrugged. "I just heard some people talking about it."

"Who?"

"I don't know, just random people."

"Oh. So you believe something that someone who you don't even know said? Well, it's not true and you can go find them and tell them it's not true and stop spreading lies about me."

"Okay, I just-"

"So you don't talk to me for like a year and a half and the first thing you do is ask me about a rumor you heard from people you don't even know? How about you go back to not talking to me and leave me alone? Sounds good? It does to me. Glad we talked. I'll talk to you in another year and a half. Or how about we wait much longer this time?" With that said, Lita walked away with Dawn following behind her.

"Wow," Dawn began to say as she finally caught up with her sister who was walking too fast. "Well, I guess that explains why everyone keeps staring. But don't you think you were a little too harsh with him and came off as super defensive which is kind of guilty?"

"Shut up Dawn," Lita said as she entered the closest girls bathroom with Dawn following suit. "Just shut up, okay?" She looked around the bathroom and in each stall to make sure no one else was there. "How does anyone even know about this? I know you didn't tell anyone, I know John's not stupid enough to say something, Mickie wouldn't tell anyone. That just leaves one person. I'm going to kill that bitch. Why the hell-"

"Relax Li. Just calm down, okay? Just breathe, relax."

Lita scowled. "Don't tell me to relax Dawn. It's easy for you to say because this isn't happening to you." She paused for a brief moment before continuing. "Just say no if someone asks you if it's true or not. Just deny it, don't say anything."

"You know they're all going to find out one day, whether if it's now or later."

"I don't give a damn Dawn, just say no. I'm ready for all these judgy looks and whispers.:

"Well, I think we're a little too late for that one."

Lita let out a long tired sigh and shook her head. "Dawn, just please don't confirm anything to anyone. Please."

"Okay." Dawn was about to say more, but stopped when the door opened and two other students joined them. "Hey guys," she said when she saw Trish and another member of the cheer squad walk in.

"Hi!" Stacy smiled at the duo. "I can't wait until Friday! We're so going to kick some butt!"

Trish rolled her eyes. "Yea, if practice doesn't kick our butts first."

"I'll see you guys later," Lita said as she headed out of the bathroom, clearly in no mood to chitchat with the others.

"Is she pregnant?" Trish asked Dawn once Lita was out of the room and they heard the door shut.

"Trish!" Stacy exclaimed and slapped her friend on the shoulder.

"What?" Trish shrugged. "You know you were thinking it too," she said as she turned her attention back to her bestfriend. "So is she pregnant or not?"

"No. Why are you asking me that? Where did you even hear that from?"

"Torrie told me," Stacy began to asnwer before Trish could say a thing. "She heard it from Candice and Maria who said they heard Lita and Edge shouting at football practice and he said something about her being pregnant."

"Then why didn't you just ask him?"

"I did," Trish replied. "He said it wasn't true, they were arguing about something else, but he was acting shady and guilty and was blubbering so I have a feeling he was lying."

"Well he wasn't lying because she isn't pregnant. And you can tell those two sluts to keep their mouths shut unless they want Lita do it for them and she will not be alone."

"Don't you think you're getting a little too defensive for something that's supposedly not true?"

Dawn rolled her eyes. "Are you forgetting when they spread the same crap about you last year? How true was that?"

"Okay, you got me there, but Edge was acting like he was hiding something and you're getting all defensive."

"Maybe because that's my sister and those dumb whores are saying shit about her."

It was silent for a moment before Trish spoke up again. "So who's the baby daddy?"

"Trish!" Stacy exclaimed with Dawn sending a glare her friends way.

"Because I know it's not Edge, don't know why people are saying that."

"So if you don't believe that part of what people are saying, then why do you believe anything at all that's coming from their mouths."

"Because of your reaction, Edge's reaction, and how Lita just bolted out here when we came in. You two were clearly talking about it. I mean, you two did go silent when we entered the room."

"Just shut up. Stop being so damn nosey for once. That's my sister. You need to learn when to shut the hell up."

"So how far along is she?"

"You know what Trish," Dawn began to say as she moved closer to her bestfriend. "This is the first and last time I'm going to say this, stop asking me personal questions about my sister when you're barely her friend. Stop being so damn nosey and mind your own damn business. You may be my bestfriend, but that's my sister so just shut the hell up." With that said, Dawn left the bathroom, leaving the two blondes all by themselves.

"So who do to think the baby daddy is?" Trish said a couple of moments later as her and Stacy left the room as well. "Do you think it's John since he was arguing with Edge about her? But he's like way out of her league so it doesn't really make sense."

Stacy rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Stop being such a bitch Trish. Just leave it alone, it's none of your business whether or not she's pregnant. Why do you care? Like Dawn said, she's not even your friend, you just want something to gossip about. Well, newsflash, maybe don't gossip about your best friends sister unless you don't care about losing her friend."

Trish rolled her eyes as the two continued to walk down the hallway and towards homeroom. "I'm just curious and I know you are too, I'm just expressing my curiosity. At least I'm not talking about it with other people and I just asked Dawn and Edge."

"Whatever," Stacy said as she stood outside her first class of the day. "I'll see you later. Just try not to piss off Dawn more than you already have." She didn't wait for Trish to say a word as she walked inside the classroom. She was about to go sit in her regular seat towards the middle of the room, but saw an empty seat next to a certain redhead towards the front of the room so she decided to sit there instead.

"Hi Lita," Stacy smiled at the other teen as she placed her books on the desk in front of her.

Lita looked up from her phone and returned the blonde teen's gesture. "Um hey." She hadn't ran into John in the hallway, but since her conversation with Jeff, she knew what his vague text was about and told him she already knew what was going on and she really did not want to talk about it, especially not at school.

"How's it going?"

"Great," was all Lita said in response as she put her phone away and opened her notebook when the last bell rang and the teacher looked like he was ready to start class even though the announcements were about to begin.

Stacy didn't say anything for a moment because she wasn't sure if she should even say anything in the first place. She made up her mind as she spoke up. "Look, I don't know nor do I care if what some people are saying about you is true or not. But I just want you to know that I'm here if you need anyone to talk."

"Thanks," Lita began to say as she glanced over at the other teen before looking back down at her notebook, "but there's nothing to talk about."

"Yea, okay," was all Stacy said before it became silent before the two again. They didn't really say another word to each other for the rest of the period.


Most of the day had flown by with only lunch and last period remaining. John kept hearing the pregnancy rumors about Lita all day and even heard his name being thrown around every once in a while, but no one actually came up to him and asked him about it. Unfortunately, the same couldn't have been said for Lita. Other than Jeff and Stacy- even though she didn't really ask the redhead if the rumors were true- there were at least two other people who decided to straight up ask her if she was pregnant. Of course Lita kept denying the rumors, but she wasn't so sure people actually believed her and she wasn't so sure she cared anymore.

John was just heading to the cafeteria when he saw Lita walking a few feet in front of him. "Hey Li," John said once he caught up with his girlfriend.

Lita yawned as she looked back over at John and responded. "Hey."

"Someone's tired."

"Yea well, you would be too if you were in that class. When did English become so boring?"

"Since forever," John replied with Lita simply rolling her eyes in response. "So are you-"

"Don't," the pregnant teen interrupted before the other could say another word. "I told you I don't want to talk about it, especially not here so just don't start with that."

John didn't say anything in response as the duo continued to walk to Lita's locker so she could put some of her books away that she knew she wasn't going to use for the rest of the day. "What's that? What are all those people doing over there?" He asked as they walked closer to the redhead's locker. There were groups of people surrounding one of the lockers which had something attached to it and the closer they walked, they realized it was Lita's locker they were all looking at.

To say Lita was pissed off when she saw a baby doll attached to her locker would be an understatement. She didn't understand how something heavy like that could even be supported on her locker, but that was the least of her worries.

Lita rolled her eyes as she yanked the baby doll off and threw it behind her. "Very funny assholes," she said to no one in particular. She was sure whoever was responsible for that had to be somewhere close by. She decided to ignore it as she opened her locker only to have a bunch of baby bottles spill out of her locker. "What the hell?" She muttered to herself as she swatted away a couple of bottles that fell right at her. She had no clue who could have had access to the combination on her locker. And how did they even have time to place a bunch of crap in and on her locker during school hours?

"You were right, she is going to be a terrible mother." Lita looked behind her as she slammed her locker door shut to see Candice and Maria were standing a couple of feet away from her. Of course it was those two. She shouldn't have been surprised since Dawn told her what she heard from Stacy earlier that day. She didn't notice the audience that was forming around them. "Just throwing her baby around wherever she pleases."

"And John's going to make an even better father," Candice added with a smirk present on her face. "He's just watching her abuse the poor little baby, not even saying a thing." She looked over at her friend before continuing. "Do you think it's too early to call CPS on them?"

The redhead's initial plan of ignoring the duo was thrown out the window once they opened their mouths. She walked closer to them only for John to gently pull her away. "Just ignore them. Relax."

Lita groaned in frustration as she pushed John away from herself. "Don't tell me to relax. I'm so sick and tired of hearing everyone saying that to me!" The other teen opened his mouth to respond, but wasn't able to do so when Candice interrupted.

"God Lita, I don't get why you're so angry with John. I mean, he's only trying to protect his little bastard you have growing in there." She continued after glancing over at John. "Are you sure it's yours though? I heard she's a bit of a whore so you can't be too sure."

"Oh that's real rich coming from you," Lita interrupted before Candice could say another word. "Half the football team and some of the basketball team says hi. And um, by the way, some people don't elect to have a "surgical procedure" like one of us did this past summer."

"You just admitted you're pregnant even though we all already knew that was true," Candice replied, not too bothered by Lita's accusation. "And John, you might want to get a paternity test done before this slut gets you stuck-"

"Well hello there pot."

Candice rolled her eyes. "Get over it. You just admitted that you're pregnant and there's no proof that the terrible accusations against me this summer were true."

Lita rolled her eyes as she began to walk away, putting an end to the conversation. "Whatever, I really don't give a damn."

"Where are you going?" John asked Lita as her followed after her down the hallway.

"Home. There's a substitute for next period, so I don't care, I just... I need to get out of here."

"Lita-"

"Stop following me," Lita said as she stopped in place and turned around to fave her noyfriend once they were outside of the building. "Just leave me alone."

"Lita-"

"Seriously John, just leave me alone. I don't want to talk. I'm sick and tired of talking. I just want this whole thing to be over with. Just leave me alone."

"Fine."

"Bye." With that said, Lita walked towards the student parking lot with John walking back inside the building.
