"Hey Sean." Ellie called when she finally found her boyfriend at lunch.
"Hey did you talk to Raditch?" Sean asked.
" Yeah he mentioned some other school I could go to, one that specializes in my situation. I told him I wanted to stay here. He told me about the Teen Parenting Center. It's like school and I get to stay here. I made an appointment to check it out with some new friends after school today. I also called my doctor and made an appointment for friday, if you wanna come." Ellie said catching him up on her day so far.
" Of course I wanna go. As far as I'm concerned this kid is mine and we're in this together." Sean said taking her hand is his.
"Hey Ellie. Oh sorry are we interupting something. "A voice said from behind.
"Oh Emma, Manny, no it's fine. You feeling better Manny?" Ellie asked.
"Yeah a little. I think it was just my nerves acting up over the fact that I'm telling my parents after school." Manny said.
" Are you still gonna make it to the appointment?" Ellie asked.
"Yeah it's at four right. I should be done with my parents, no scratch that my parent's should be done with me by 3 so that gives me time to get ack here." Manny said with a note of sadness in her voice.
"You don't know that Manny. I've been telling her that all day."Emma said.
"My cousin got pregnant at 16 and she was banned from the family. No one's seen her since and she hasn't gone to any family fiesta's since. I'm only 15 and their daughter. It's gonna be ten times as worse." Manny explained.
"Wait, catch me up here. Your pregnant and your parents are going to kick you out." Sean said overwhelmed by the new information.
" It's not just Manny. I'm in the club too." Emma said.
"Oh thats great, congratulations?" Sean asked in a wary voice.
"Yeah congratulations. My parents are being really supportive and are letting me keep it" Emma said.
"Um I asked them to eat lunch with us considering the fact that we all have something in common."Ellie said.
"I don't mind but we eat with Jay and Alex so are you sure." Sean asked.
He and Emma had recently grown up over the summer and settled their differences becoming friends again. Emma didn't get a chance to answer though.
" I can't believe you two. I went to Raditch and you still get to stay here. You wanna know how bad that is for the reputation of the school? Two pregnant teens walking around the school like nothing is wrong." Liberty yelled standing in front of them.
"Three. Three pregnant teens walking around school like nothings wrong." Ellie interjected.
"Great. If only there was a contest to see how many sluts there are in one school. We would have it made." Liberty yelled making her views of teen pregnancy known to the crowed no surrounding the group.
"Hey Liberty back off. It's none of your buisness. In fact I bet your just mad that someone actually liked us enough to sleep with us!"Manny yelled back.
" Um maybe you should just shut up Liberty. Towerz told me why he broke up with you. Because you're such a bad lay and you complained the whole time." Jay said stepping into the circle.
He had heard the yelling and was in the mood to see a fight that he wasn't in, which didn't happen much. When he saw his main man Sean standing with Ellie, Cause girl and Manny, he had to go and investigate. He was surprised to see Liberty involved with the argument.
" I... uh..." Liberty tried to say but found she was speechless to the harsh words Jay just told her. She ran off crying.
"Thanks man. If I opened my mouth i would've been in more trouble than I needed." Sean said.
"No problem but you owe me. Liberty's probably in Raditches office right now. telling on me like some little kid." Jay said.
"We going to lunch or not because hello, pregnant girls here." Ellie said Emma and Manny nodding their head in agreement.
Ellie took Manny's and Emma's arms leading them to the cafeteria. Sean just laughed following suit.
"Hey man I didn't know that you and Ellie had shacked up yet." Jay said when the girls were a safe distance away.
" We haven't. It's the guy she hooked up with over vacation. But as far as I'm concerned it's my kid all the way." Sean said.
"Whatever. Now I can guess who knocked up Manny, Craig probably, but who knocked up Cause girl?" Jay asked
"I have no idea. I just found out myself. Why?"Sean asked.
"No reason." Jay answered.
