At school, Kara went up to Maddy and gave her a hug. The other to girls from the three K's were shocked at this.
Tom was waiting for them in front of the dark room. Shannon and Jimmy still weren't there yet though.
Shannon got to the school late so she walked into Mr Jeffries class late. She went and took her usual seat next to Tom.
"I'll tell you later." Shannon whispered to her three friends, knowing what they were going to ask.
Maddy leaned back against the chair. She wasn't feeling very well, but she didn't say anything to anyone because she knew that they would worry. She looked towards where Kara was sitting and smiled. Kara smiled back at her and then the other to K's looked at her like she was some sort of crazy person.
Maddy turned back to Mr Jeffries. He was blabbing on about the trip to the museum next week.
Maddy's next class was art and so was Rhydian's. When everyone was seated, Rhydian realised that everyone was staring at him and Maddy was certain that Maddy knew they were staring as well because she was acting all agitated.
"Why do they always have to stare?" Maddy said after they had started doing what they were supposed to be doing.
"Because they're nosy. Look, just pretend they're not staring at you and you'll feel a little better." Rhydian answered. He knew that if Maddy didn't feel good soon then he would have to call Dan. He and Dan had an agreement that if Maddy felt ill or if she threw up that Rhydian had to call him and he would pick them up.
On the way to the next lesson, Rhydian texted Dan. He didn't call him because then Maddy would know what he was doing and she wouldn't approve. Dan texted back saying that he would be there soon. Rhydian and Maddy were in different classes when Dan arrived so it took a while for him to get them. When he did Maddy was smiling. She had obviously wanted to go home.
When they got home, Maddy and Rhydian watched a movie. They were going to stay at Maddy's house that night and the night after and then for the rest of the week they were going to stay at the Vaughan's.
At about 4:30pm, they decided to go down to Bernie's. When they got there, they saw Shannon and Jimmy sitting at one of the tables talking (school had finished). Shannon was facing the door and when she saw Maddy she said hello to them and called them over. They went over there and sat down.
"Hey, where did you two go today? You disappeared from school." Shannon asked
"I wasn't feeling well so we went home. I was glad to get out of there though. Everyone kept staring at us." Maddy said. Jimmy looked at Shannon and shrugged. This confused Maddy and Rhydian.
"What's going on?" Rhydian asked
"Uh, well, I guess it's better to hear it from us then someone else." Jimmy said.
"what would be better to hear from you? What did you do?" Maddy asked, getting slightly angry.
"Well, Kara and I were talking about you being pregnant, when Sam came and told us that he had overheard us." (Sam was one of Jimmy's henchmen) Shannon looked really guilty. "He went around the entire school and told everyone. There was nothing we could do."
Maddy was really fired up now. She glared at Shannon.
"Why were you talking about it at school?" Rhydian asked.
"Kara wanted to know if Maddy was going to be coming to school during the pregnancy and that's when Sam came in." Shannon said. "Maddy I'm so sorry."
"Well right now we need to find a way to calm Maddy down. If she gets to angry, who knows what could happen." Rhydian whispered to Shannon.
Rhydian got up and pulled Maddy outside.
"Maddy calm down. Look at your hands." Rhydian was trying to calm Maddy down.
Maddy looked at her hands and then stuck them in her pockets. She looked into Rhydian's eyes and she slowly began to calm herself.
"I'm sorry. I don't know why I'm this mad." Maddy said.
When she had calmed down enough, Rhydian took her hand and went back inside.
"I'm sorry about that Shan. I don't know what made me act like that." Maddy apologised as she and Rhydian sat back down
"Hormones." Jimmy mumbled and that made Shannon smile and then kiss him.
"You know, Rhydian you were right." Shannon said. "True love does spring from true hate."
And with that they all just laughed.
