CHAPTER 12: HER SECRET REVEALED
Haley walked in the media immersion classroom and sat down hoping Craig wouldn't say anything to her. She didn't want him to talk to her because of Manny. She knew Manny still had feelings for him and that's why she had changed. But as soon as she sat down and put her head on the desk Craig decided to ask her what was wrong.
"Nothing." She answered putting her headphones on.
"Haley tell me what's wrong. If it's something to do with Manny you don't have to worry because I got over her a long time ago." Craig tried telling Haley but she pretended she didn't hear even though her headphones weren't even on. She tried ignoring Craig all day, Craig realized she was trying to ignore her so he didn't bother trying to talk to her.
During lunch Haley ran into Manny. "Out of my way." Manny said as she passed Haley in the cafeteria.
"Excuse you slut." Haley answered. Manny turned around and gave Haley her evil look. "I'm real scared Manny." Haley said as Manny walked away.
"Maybe you should be." Manny said and turned around and slapped Haley. Haley responded by throwing her tray of food at Manny's face. Manny was rather angry with that and kicked Haley just as Craig walked in.
"Manny what the fuck are you doing? Don't ever touch her again or you'll be sorry." He said as Manny walked away. "Are you ok?" He asked Haley.
"Yeah. I'm fine. I could have dealt with that myself but thanks." Haley said.
"I know you could have, but she only did it because you're my girlfriend." He answered.
"True but anyways I should get to class." Haley said and walked away.
"Ok, I'll see you later." He shouted watching her walk away. 'She's beautiful' he thought to himself going to his locker.

"Thanks for the ride Ash." Haley said as she walked in her front door.
"No problem. Can I use you're phone quick?" Ashley asked.
"Hum.." Haley said not knowing what to tell her. "My parents don't like people in the house." she lied.
"They're not even home Haley. They won't even know. It'll only take a minute."
"Fine." Haley said shutting the door behind them. She looked around and no one was there. 'Lucky' she thought. "Ok phone's over there." she told Ashley.
"Hey Haley." Haley heard from behind her.
"Oh hey Megan I thought you were gone or something." She answered.
"Nope just upstairs changing Montana's diaper." Megan replied.
"Oh, thanks. Is she sleeping now?" Haley asked.
"No she's in her crib though. I'm sorry but I have to go. My fiance's expecting me soon. I'll see you tomorrow morning?"
"Yeah, thanks." Haley answered.
"No problem. Bye now." Megan said walking out the door.
"Who was that?" Ashley asked walking back into the living room.
"A friend of my moms" Haley answered when she heard Montana start crying. 'Shit' she thought.
"Do you have a little brother or sister?" Ashley asked surprised.
"No it must be the neighbors. Thanks again for the ride Ash. I better start homework and stuff." Haley said trying to push Ashley out.
"Haley. Someone is crying upstairs." Ashley said.
"Ash please. Ok fine come on." she said walking up the stairs. They got to the room where the baby was crying. Haley picked up the baby girl and she stopped crying. "Ash this is Montana, my daughter."
"What? You have a daughter?" Ashley said totally shocked.
"Ash this is why I never told anyone. Everyone would just freak. Please don't tell anyone, especially Craig. He's already looking at Manny. I don't need him looking at her and thinking I'm some whore." Haley pleaded.
"Don't worry Haley I won't tell anyone I swear." Ashley said unsure what to think.
"Thanks Ash."
"Who's the father?" Ashley asked.
"Some guy back where I used to live. He's why we moved. Everyone knew and hated me for it."
"For what?" Ashley asked.
"I met this guy at a party and I went with him home and he raped me. All my friends new and everyone at school. I didn't want to stay there. My mom pulled me out of school as soon as she found out and after Montana was born we moved. I hoped I could hide it but I guess I didn't do a very good job of that." Haley said worried the whole school was going to find out.
"Well I'm the only one who's going to know and I'll help you keep it a secret and if you ever need any help I'll help you." Ashley said feeling bad for Haley.
"Thanks that means the world to me." Haley said feeling a bit awkward.
"I better go my mom's going to start to worry. I'll see you tomorrow." Ashley said walking out the door.
