Chapter Twenty

Well I wasn't surprised at what I saw. It was more of who I saw that shocked me the most. There were three different faces. One was a familiar face. The other two I didn't know. I walked over to the familiar face.

"Ben?" I said unsurely.

"Hey Carlie. Long time no see huh?" Ben said now facing me.

"Yeah. You never text me anymore." I said.

"Well I've been…busy." He winked.

"Me too. Oh!" I said.

"What?"

I looked for Mikey and noticed that he was talking to the guy I never seen before.

"I wanted you to meet my boyfriend but he's busy talking and I wouldn't wanna interrupt him." I said.

"Oh. Well there's always later. Like lunch or something right?" Ben suggested.

"Yeah." The bell rang

"See ya later or something."

"'Kay. See ya."

"Hey babe." Mikey said sliding into the seat next to me.

"Hey." I replied.

The kid he was talking to took the seat behind him. Up close the he had black hair that was straight and fell in his eyes a little bit. His skin was also tan.

"This is Noah." Mike said. "And this is my girlfriend Carlie."

"Hi ya." I said.

"Hey." was all the kid, Noah, said.

"What school did you come from?" I asked.

"East Liverpool. But so far I like Southern better." Noah said.

"That's cool."

He nodded.

The day went by quickly until lunch. For me that was the worst part of my day. While I was in the line getting food everyone was looking at me. Even the lunch ladies! Mike and Noah were already at the table when I sat down.

"Hey." Mike said smiling.

"Hi." I said not smiling back.

"What's wrong babe?"

"Have you heard any rumors or anything about me?"

"No why?"

"Just wondering."

I heard someone come and sit down. It was Ashley and she was sitting in the seat next to me. And now taking seats were Kelly and Freddie.

"Is it true?" Kelly asked.

"Is what true?" I replied confused.

"That you're pregnant duh!" Ashley said.

Mike choked and I dropped my fork.

"What?" I practically screamed.

"Someone said that you were pregnant." Kelly said.

"And we just wanna know if it's true or not." Ashley confirmed.

"No. I just gained some weight that's all." I said looking down at my stomach.

"Are you sure?" Someone said from behind me.

"What in the hell do you want ya bitch?" I said not even looking up. I knew her voice.

"What? I just wanna know if it's true. Are you Carlie Slut Davis Ash pregnant?" Mickenzie asked.

"You know what Mickenzie Bitch Whore Slut Bailey do you really wanna go? I mean seriously you need to cut this shit out. For real. And if I am pregnant that's freakin' amazeballz because my kid will have the best mother ever. And I want my kid to know that I ain't scared ta back down from no damn fight. Especially to you." I said standing up.

Noah looked at me with big eyes.

"Big talk for someone as weak as you." She said tilting her head in a cocky way.

"Weak my little monkey's ass. Now I'd be afraid if I was you. You better leave me, Mikey and everyone else alone. Even Noah and Ben. 'Cuz I can bet you that they want nothing to do with you. Do you guys?" I asked.

"Hell freaking no." Noah said.

Ben just sat down.

"Do you want anything to do with Mickenzie?" I asked him.

He looked confused. Noah whispered something in his ear.

"Nope."

"That settles it then. You can take your little bitch friends as well and go find some other people to bitch at 'cuz all the people sitting at this table right now are through. With. You." I said the last part slowly.

"Whatever. But just remember payback can be a real bitch sometimes."

"Whenever she comes for me I'll be ready." I sat back down and she walked away.

"Damn." Noah said. "You can trash talk for someone who looks like they wouldn't even hurt a fly."

"Thanks. I could do worse. Like I've beat her up before. I've even given her a black eye. But I think she covers it up with cover up or some stupid shit." I replied smiling.

"That right there babe was amazeballz. I love you." Mikey said taking my hand.

"I love you too."

"What in the hell was that about?" Ben asked.

"You don't wanna know. Honestly it's a very long and stupid story." Freddie said.

"Oh my god! When did you get here Ben?" Ashley said.

"First period."

"Yay! I'm sooo happy to see you again. It's cool that you're going to Southern now." Ashley had the biggest smile on her face.

"Yeah I know right. I think Brianna might even be coming her next month."

"Awesome. At least Troy graduated. Right?" I said.

"Yessss!" Kelly said.

"What's up my bitches?" our friend Bethann said pulling up a chair.

"Hey sisie. And who said I was your bitch?" I joked.

"Ummm me of course sisie! Haha." Bethann replied.

"Hey Bethann have you met Ben or Noah yet?" Mikey said.

"Nope but I've met Noah's sister Tabbie. She seems nice."

"Cool. I haven't talked to her yet." I said.

"Oh I see." Bethann said.

We were all silent after that. The rest of the day was practically as boring as shit because we didn't really do anything. So as Mike was driving us home I kept asking myself.

What if I am pregnant?
