She was late, very late. Not only to class but to her menstrual cycle. She slid into her history class, shooting Matthew a strangled look. He looked pitifully at her.
She was angry with him, very, very mad. Not only did he cause her pregnancy test to be positive, he also made her fear Mr. Edelstein, who not only seen her naked, but had correctly predicted her punishment. Through the previous night she had wept hysterically, cursing Matthew and praying for forgiveness. Her sister walked in on her and went instantly to comforting her. She held her close. Kat spilled everything that bothered her, expecting harsh words to pelt her like stones, but instead she received comfort. They decided that Kat would talk to Matthew about the problem.
After class, Kat walked up to Matthew. She told him and rushed to her next class, leaving Matthew awestruck. Tears filled his eyes.
At lunch, he said.
"We'll run away."
