Note: Finally I have some free time to continue this story. Basketball
season and preparing for softball season really takes away a lot of time.
If I take some breaks I will be able to manage writing a little bit of this
story at a time. If you notice my notes on the last chapter were written 2
weeks apart and I slowly prepared the chapter to be submitted. Eventually
I hope to be able to prepare longer chapters like before, but with the last
chapter I knew an update was overdue so the shortness would have to do.
Thank you reviewers that have stuck with me throughout this story. You are
a great inspiration by your positive words. As I have said before I am
hoping to find a way to carry this story out to a decent point and make it
interesting at the same time. Here goes another attempt to
continue......enjoy.
Chapter 15
(MY POV) Craig walked over to Manny and greeted her with a smile. She returned the smile and began to remove her lunch from a paper sack. "How did the morning go for you Manny?" , "Well, I felt like everywhere I turned someone was watching me and that any moment everyone would know what was going on." , "Yeah, My morning was similar except for it felt like people were whispering constantly behind my back.", "Maybe if we told someone, like Paige, then everyone would find out the truth and we won't have to feel guilty or too secretive anymore." , "Paige would be a good person to tell and I agree that we should tell someone now because it won't be long before you start to show and it is better they find out before that."
Manny and Craig finished their lunch before the bell rang and preceded to their afternoon classes. Manny agreed that she would find a way to talk to Paige alone and tell her the news. She was sure of two options. One was to dramatize it and become upset and act like she needed a shoulder to cry on and another was to say she had to talk about not being on the spirit squad anymore. (I don't believe that I have written a part about her quitting spirit squad yet, only Paige saying she would not kick her off the squad in the letter she sent to Craig)
Manny POV: After school I got up the courage to confront Paige and say I needed to talk to her. "Hey Paige, Can I talk to you for a moment?" Paige gives Me a look that says she is trying to decide whether or not to ignore my request. "OK, Fine but make it quick will ya?" We walk to the side of the building. "This may not be surprising to you but I am quitting spirit squad, another issue has come up that prevents me from taking part in that kind of activity." "What kind of ISSUE may I ask?" "Well UM......" I hesitate a few seconds before answering. "I'm kinda pregnant....not that it is any of your business." "Looks like Craig has been busy since he dumped Ashley...oh well if you don't mind I'd like to go back to Spinner." "Go on....I have nothing more to say anyways." After Paige leaves I decide to walk to my home away from home in order to avoid staying around the school much longer.
When I get there, I am not surprised to see Emma's bedroom door shut with a sign indicating she was doing homework. It was an obvious sign that she wanted me to stay away. Spike came into the living room holding jack and greeting me with a smile. "How was your day?" "It was okay I guess, a few stares here and there....they noticed my total style change." "I can't promise stares will go away, but it becomes easier to ignore after a while." "I had to quit the spirit squad today.....so now Paige knows I'm pregnant." "It is always better to let it out into the open because it becomes easier for you to know that people are informed of the facts and not rumors." "Craig and I came up with that solution to, I'm sure Paige has told someone already, so she may have actually done a favor without realizing for once." "Usually I would say it is better to let people know on your own but if you are comfortable having someone else get it around that is your decision. I think you better get started on some homework, Emma says you have a test to study for as well." "Yes, it is a test on a play in Kwan's class. I'll work on everything in the kitchen so I don't bother Emma." Spike nods at me to go ahead and do my work in the kitchen, so I quietly get to work, hopeing to finish in time to call Craig or work out the conflict between Emma and I.
Note: I am not sure if I have lost my touch on this story or not, but I haven't felt very inspired with ideas for it. Perhaps I will be making a sooner ending and just kind of skip a few months so that I don't have to go on about Manny's school life too much more. What I leave out you can try to picture on your own. As using your own imagination to fill in the blanks makes you think and can be fun. I appreciate the reviews I get and for those who like reading this I am thinking about writing a story under the Radio Free Roscoe category because I have been feeling inspired to write on it by the recent episodes and there is a lack of stories made compared to all the Degrassi ones. You can check it out if you want, I will be putting it up in a day or 2. I'm thinking about waiting until I see the last part of the season finale tomorrow. Well hope to hear from you. I would appreciate feedback and I do apologize for such short chapters. It is Spring Break here until Monday.
