Disclaimer- I don't own degrassi and blah, blah, blahdee, blah, but I do own all new characters that I add in.
Anything italics is what Manny is thinking
I knew my parents would be mad at me, but I never expected this. How could they send me away? I thought they loved me. But apparently not enough to let me stay at home during the scariest time of my life. Since I'm so terrified they send me of to some relative I don't even know. I've never heard of a cousin Carla before. Oh well, I don't know half of my cousin's names anyways. I still can't believe this is happening.
Manny's mind was jumping everywhere on the bus to her cousin's house. Manny was pregnant and her parents gave her 2 choices.
Choice 1- Have an abortion
Choice 2- Go off somewhere else and have the baby. Then give it up for adoption.
Manny picked choice 2. She wanted to just have an abortion and try to forget all about it, go back to being a normal teenager. But she just couldn't do it. So now she had to go and live with a total stranger and start a new school, which wasn't so bad. That way no one at Degrassi would have to know about this.
The bus stopped and Manny grabbed her bags and headed off the bus.
Great, I don't even know who i'm looking for. This should be fun.
Then some one walked up to her.
Person- Excuse me, are you Manny Santos?
Manny- Ya, I am
Person- Hi, I'm Carla Santos, your hostess for the next 9 months.
Manny laughs a little
Manny- Hi, and thanks for letting me stay with you.
Might as well be polite. I'm gonna be here for a while.
Carla picks up one of Manny's 2 bags and Manny grabs the other. They start walking towards Carla's car.
Carla- No problem, I know exactly what you're going through.
Manny-You do?
How can she know what i'm going through? I'm in 9th grade and I'm pregnant.
Carla- I had my daughter when I was your age.
Manny- Really?
Carla- Yep, and my parents reacted the same way yours did. They were even more thrilled when I told them I decided not to put my daughter up for adoption.
Manny- So, how old is she?
Carla- Your age
Manny- Really?
The two enter Carla's car.
Carla- Yep, her name is Cheya and you two will be sharing a room. Sorry, 'bout that but it's only a two bedroom apartment.
Manny- That's ok
Great an apartment, that equals tiny, and I get to share a room with some girl I don't even know. This should be wonderful.
Once they get to the apartment Carla gives Manny a tour around the apartment.
Wow, this is nice for an apartment. (A/N- think Jimmy's apartment)
Carla- And here is your room.
Inside the room there is 2 beds. The right side of the room is totally empy except for a neatly made bed and an empty dresser. On the left side of the room the walls are covered with posters to the extent that you can't even see one bit of the of the paint. The bed is unmade, the floor is covered in clothes, the dresser drawers are open with clothes hanging out of them, and the vanity has make-up and hair styling supplies spewed all over it.
Carla- As you can tell Cheya isn't very neat.
Manny- Couldn't of guessed.
Carla- Well try and make yourself at home. I have to go to work and Cheya should be home soon since she was suposed to be home an hour ago.
Carla leaves the room, and then Manny hears the click of the apartment door shutting.
A/N- Not a very interesting first chapter but it gets better in chapter 2, coming soon to a computer near you!
