"I'll See you in August"
Chapter 10
That week trudged on endlessly, Savannah was utterly miserable and quite humiliated by the much recent events. Her pride had taken a large blow, and her ego wasn't much better.
Savannah kept most of these shamed emotions to herself, sharing only with Clare and Alli what had happened, and how very confused and all around shocked she had been when she discovered that in fact Anya truly was pregnant, as she had told Sav.
Jane however had absolutely no intent of hiding her embarrassment that came through as nothing more than pure anger, unleashing itself on a distraught and terrified Anya any chance Jane was given.
Anya made her way down the packed hallway, dodging the hurried students who were rushing to find a place in the already long lunch line.
"Hey Sav…" She said quietly as she set her bag down at the table and sat down next to him. With that Jane rolled her eyes and retreated the lunch table with a very hostile look, that Sav generously ignored.
"She really hates me huh?.." Anya said with a nervous chuckle.
Sav looked her over kissing her briefly before saying "Who cares..I mean we both caught her in her and Savannah's obvious lie…Its just sad that Jane still wants to stick to the same sad story…"
Anya looked down casually. "Sav I can't do this…"
Sav looked at her, his eyes confused by her sudden withdrawal.
"Can't do…what?" He asked with a pause.
Anya sighed. " I have an appointment…"… She started to say but was interrupted by Alli stomping over to she and Sav.
"Sav I need some money, I want to buy a coffee.." Alli said, not even asking but demanding.
"What happened to the money you got last week?" He complained.
"Hello, looking like this isn't cheap…" Alli said motioning to her yellow bedazzled low cut tee.
"Backwoods sure seems pretty cheap to me…." Johnny said as he passed by briskly, now being followed by a seriously agitated Alli.
Sav shook his head and rolled his eyes obliviously as he turned back to Anya and took her hand.
"Now what were you saying?" Sav said focusing all his attention back on Anya.
Anya looked at him mournfully. She had never thought she could be so stupid, and to lie about something so extreme as a child, a child she could never raise… not with the care and love a child truly needed. And this, this was all to real for her. She couldn't handle it, and her mind was made up.
She looked at Sav and kissed him roughly and intensely breaking the kiss only to say "I love you…"
Sav looked at her skeptically, pausing briefly before saying. "You to…" But for some reason, his stomach ached as he said this.
Something was wrong, and he could feel it. He had known Anya long enough to know when something was up. But he didn't want to stress Anya any more than she probably already was.
"Are you okay Savannah, you've seriously been acting weird lately. . ." Clare asked clearly concerned by her bummed out friend.
Savannah looked at Clare as if the answer were simply obvious.
"Sav hates my guts.. for a lie that I know wasn't a lie…I heard her….Clare I wouldn't purposely sabotage a relationship…I'm not like her…." Savannah sneered in Anyas direction.
Clare sighed, "I believe you heard what you heard, but if Anya and Sav went to the doctor and he says she is pregnant….then I hate to break it to you, but she is more than likely pregnant….I mean maybe you misunderstood what she and Holly J were talking about in the bathroom that day…" Clare offered.
Savannah gave a deathly glare. "No Clare I didn't misunderstand what I heard…."
"Then how do you figure Anya is pregnant? Hmmm? And why would she make you think she was lying if she knew she wasn't pregnant? That just makes no sense. You need to let it go Savannah." Clare stated firmly as she sipped her juice.
"Oh My God, can you guys believe Johnny?" Alli snapped glaring at the scruffy blonde boy across the cafeteria.
Clare just rolled her eyes, but still enjoying the change of subject away from Savannahs pent up anger towards the "Sanya" Delimma.
"Hey Savannah…" Jane said setting her tray of food down at the table of girls.
"Hey Jane…" Savannah offered a grimace.
"How are you?" Jane asked sympathetically.
"I sure wish people would realize I'm not sad, or upset, or heart broken…I'm freaking pissed off and really feeling confused!" Savannah snapped as she slammed her fist against the table,
"Amen.." Jane said turning to look at Sav and Anya who were cozied up at their table.
"Listen, we'll figure this out Savannah…We know what we heard…" Jane said confidently.
Clare looked at Savannah with a disappointed look in her blue eyes. "Do the right thing, and let this go…." She said as she stood up.
Savannah shook her head, she would have let this go if she only knew what was going on. If she knew how Anya had wound up actually pregnant, or if she knew she was pregnant, why had she and Holly J said those things. Savannah didn't want to let this go. She wanted some answers, and she knew for a fact Jane would be more than willing to help her get them.
Jane and Savannah sat at the dot after school, discussing the upcoming play in theatre arts, when interrupted by Sav walking in.
"Hey Bandhari…" Jane said offering up kindness only when Anya was nonexistent.
Sav looked over at the two girls, glancing at Savannah only once dodging her eyes frantically. "What Jane?..." He snapped.
"Come on don't tell me you're still mad?" She said rolling her brown eyes.
"You're the one not letting this go…" He retorted.
"That's because I know I'm right…."
"Be more like you're little friend and let this go…I'm sick of hearing about it…"
Savannah was furious, she sighed angrily as she stood up and walked over to Sav gracefully.
"The truth hurts Sav, and her little friends name is Savannah, but you knew that…..Me and Jane know what we heard Anya say that day. And just because she did wind up pregnant, doesn't mean it didn't start as a lie. Did you ever think of that Sav?" She said as intimidating as she could.
"Why are you trying to ruin me and Anya….Jealous? Well stop, keep you're stupid female jealousy to yourself. I don't want any of it…." Sav said leaning in with a scowl on his dark face.
"You still think this is about you, please do me a favor and don't flatter yourself!" Savannah said with a disgusted undertone to her voice.
"Oh I know it's about me, why else would you try so hard to mess this up for me!" He said with an arrogant smile.
Savannah snapped, he had finally pushed her to far, she started out wanting to do the right thing and tell Sav the truth. That being the reason she told him about Anya and Holly J discussing her fake pregnancy, but now it was all different. She had to find out what was real and fake to prove him wrong.
"So it is about me?" He assumed by her dark silence.
Savannah wasted no time in what came next, she leaned back and swung her hand right across his face, leaving him dumbfounded and confused glued to his face.
"No Sav, this stopped being about you a long time ago…." Savannah said angrily, her eyes welling with tears of fury as opposed to sadness.
"Then what the hell is it?" he asked shaking he was so upset.
Jane stepped between the two angry teenagers as she answered Sav.
"That's easy…..Its about the truth Sav…."
"Oh My God Savannah can you believe it's the last day of school?...Summer here I come…." Alli paraded down the hallway gloating and boasting of her excitement to be free from academics for the next two months.
"Yeah Thank God….No more geometry next year…." Savannah grinned, just happy to have passed her worst subject.
"Yeah only next year it gets harder….." Clare added in smartly.
"Ew…Well I need to go clean my mess of a locker, but I'll meet you guys for coffee at the dot after school?" Savannah proposed to the two girls.
"Sure thing…" Clare said engulfed in her book.
"Duh.." Alli said as she began pulling Clare towards the opposite hallway where her locker resided. "Come on Ca-lare….." She pleaded as they walked away.
Savannah kept walking as her locker was at the end of the hallway, stopping in her tracks only when she saw something she wish she could avoid. Sav stood next to her locker, clearly waiting for her. She hadn't even looked at him since their intense encounter at the dot a few weeks before. And had planned only to confront him again when she and Jane knew the full length of Anya's deception. Even digging for clues hadn't come easy for Savannah as Anya was being nice to her, smiling at her genuinely, opening doors for her, and even trying to help her up when she had been shoved down by a crowd of students in the main hallway, only to be shewed away by Jane who had already helped Savannah to her feet. Savannah almost felt guilty trying to show her up.
"Hi Savannah…" Sav said with a smile as Savannah reached her locker.
She avoided looking at him as she tore her locker open letting the papers fall out as they may, she ignored him making very clear she was leaving this year "Savless".
"Listen…to me…." He said slamming her locker shut in front of her.
"You could have shut my hand in there…." Savannah growled.
Sav ignored this comment and finished what he had begun to say. "I'm sorry … for blowing you off…for hurting you….for making you're first two and a half months at Degrassi…well not so great….But understand I'm taking responsibility for my actions. I got in that limo with Anya an immature kid, and now….Now I'm an immature dad….I never ment to involve you with any of this. I never would have lead you on if….if I had known sooner okay?"
Savannah leaned her head against the locker. She didn't know what to say, she knew what she wanted to say.
"Go away Sav…I hate you, and I hate that you're so stupid…leave me alone…"
Savannah listened to the words carefully in her head, but taking Clares advice. She let it go and decided against her hateful comment. Instead she turned looked at Sav took his hand briefly.
Sav was taken aback by her sudden kindness and flushed nervously, hoping that he would not endure another slap in the face.
"Have a good Summer Sav…." She said looking into his dark eyes and smiling at him genuinely.
Sav tightened his grip on her hand and pulled her against him into a tight hug, he leaned down and kissed her roughly and passionately, as he pulled away he said.
"I'll see you in August Savannah…"
With that he walked away.
