Paige sat by her bed in her room. It had been a week since she got back from New York. It had happened. All of her comic books were changed.
She took a breath and put the last one in a box. She grabbed a chair and put it up to her closet and opened to cupboard above it. She lifted the box in and closed it. It was the last time she would look at them.
She sat back by her bed. A sudden beeping startled her. She grabbed a stick from her nightstand and looked at it.
Pregnant
She felt tears drawing down her cheeks and she started sobbing.

"Paige," Christel caught up with Paige in the halls of their high school.
"Hey," she said.
"What's up?"
"Nothing."
"One word answer?"
"Yeah." a tear formed in her eye.
"Why?" Christel asked.
Paige looked around and then pulled her into the girls' bathroom.
"I'm still pregnant."
"Oh my,"
"You're still pregnant?" Courtney walked out of one of the stalls.
"Courtney," Paige said in shock.
"I guess things are going to be just as hard as Gothem."
They all nodded and walked out of the bathroom.
"Hey, Paige." A tall guy ran up next to Paige.
"Hi, Kurtise." She tried to sound casual.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go to the Halloween dance with me."
"Um, I don't think I can make it. I have some stuff going on, it's really confusing."
"Oh, alright. I guess I'll see you later."
"Kay." As he left Paige felt her stomach lurch and she ran to a garbage can and puked.

"Ms. Marcel?" Paige walked into the nurse's office. "I don't feel too good."
"What's wrong?" the woman asked.
"Well, I threw up in a trash can."
"Oh dear," she grabbed a thermometer and put it in Paige's mouth. After a minute it beeped. "Normal temperature. Have you eaten anything that could have not agreed with you?"
Paige thought for a moment.
"Uh, yeah, I ate some tuna noodle casserole. It had probably gone bad, it smelt bad."
"Okay, I'll call your mom, and give you the rest of the day off."
*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
Paige's mom walked down to the office where Paige was sitting.
"Hey, sweetie." She said, and kissed Paige on the top of her head.
"Hi mom,"
"Ms. Bennett, could I have a word with you?" The nurse asked Paige's mom.
"Sure," they walked out of the office for a moment and Paige tried to breath.
"Okay, Paige, come on." Her mom said. They walked out to the parking lot and got into a big red Suburban.
"The nurse said that you shouldn't have eaten the casserole if it didn't smell right."
"Mom, that's not why I threw up,"
"What was it then?"
"I'm pregnant."
