Chapter Four

"Jake would you hurry up in there? I think I'm going to be sick."

"I'm sorry the vomiting stinks."

"You're telling me." Peyton said as she was now allowed in.

"what time is it?" Jake asked as he saw the clock only showed 4 a.m.

"Ugh. I'm never going to get to sleep."

Jake layed down on the couch and looked down at his stomach.

SO THERE IS SOMETHING IN HERE AND IT OBVIOUSLY NOT FOOD OR ANY NORMAL BODY PARTS. THIS IS SOOOO WRONG. WHY IN THE WORLD WAS IT ME OF ALL PEOPLE.

He started fumbly with his stomach.

"And we have seven more months."

"Don't remind me. Come on let's make some jalepeno poppers before school."

"Right there with you."

Six and half hours later Jake was walking with Lucas and Nathan to the cafeteria.

They weren't doing much talking but all of the sudden Lucas heard sniffling. He turned around.

"Jake, what's the matter, man?"

Jake was crying quite profusely.

"I...sniff...I...don't...sniff.....just don't know."

Nathan whispered, "Could you stop? People are starting to stare."

"Oh, well, I am so sorry for being in touch with my emotions, you pompous, arrogant, unfeeling...."

Lucas refereed "Hold it you two let's just go to lunch."

"Whatever you say Big Shot."

Nathan just asked, "So what's for lunch any how?"

Lucas laughed, "Pizza, tacos, and Jake favorit--hold up--where is Jake?"

They turned around. It didn't take too long.

Jake was no more than five feet away head first in a waste basket.

"oh shoot."

The two ran to him and covered him as everyone else started to stare.

they heard some freshmen mumble, "What's wrong with HIM?"

To which Nathan covered, "He lost his retainer...again."

Lucas tried to hide his laughs as he heard between the breaths and all, "I--don't--have--a--retai--"

Nathan elbowed Jake. "Shut up!"

Jake finally finished and the three of them continued on their way.

Nathan leaned in to Lucas.

"If watching Jake go through this isn't some form of birth control..."

"Shut up. I heard that. And would you two stop wearing that cologne it's making me sick."

Lucas and Nathan stopped as Jake walked off.

"I only used soap and generic deoderant."

"Same here."
