CHAPTER 15

-----Flashback-----

After the phone line got cut Sophie went to make some coffee in the kitchen while Peter was looking through the window and saw the couples kissing again. While Sophie was in the kitchen the phone rang again and Peter took the call. It was Mr. Pez again. Sophie couldn't hear the call.

P : I'm glad you called back.

Mr Pez : I thought you'd like to know…

P : So what did you find ?

Mr Pez : A pregnancy test.

P (who couldn't believe what the man just told him) : Sorry, what ?

Mr Pez : In the girls' dorm I found a pregnancy test in the bin. I thought you should know about it.

P : Okay. Well I didn't expect that. Was it positive or negative ?

Mr Pez : Oh I don't know. I know nothing about how those things works so I really have no idea. But I wanted to give it to you.

P : Why didn't you give it to me then ?

Mr Pez : I heard noises from someone coming so I left quickly and I forgot the test there in the bathroom.

P : We didn't find it when we came in !

Mr Pez : Then I don't understand. Someone must have found it after me and took it.

P : Ok. Thanks for calling and telling me about this.

Mr Pez : You're welcome.

Peter couldn't believe it. He didn't know whether the pregnancy test was negative or positive but he guessed it was positive seeing the way Shelby and Scott were behaving for a few days. Sophie came back with two cups of coffee and gave one to Peter. She noticed a weird expression on his face.

So : Peter are you all right ?

For some unknown reason he didn't want to tell Sophie about that. He wanted to let the information sink in before telling anybody.

P : Yeah sure, why do you ask ?

So : Don't know, you look a bit weird. Like if you had seen a ghost.

P : No…

Scott got more angry and caught Auggie's arm. They were about to fight. Peter and Sophie heard the noise and ran next to them.

Peter pulled them apart from each other.

-----End flashback-----

Back in Peter's office :

P : Okay. Thanks for sharing your secret with us. Of course it wasn't included in the rules of Horizon but why were you crying all the time Shelby ?

S : I can't tell you that. Not now.

P : Is it because of the positive pregnancy test ?

Sophie glanced at Peter. Shelby and Scott looked surprised.

So : Peter what are you talking about ?

P : They know what I'm talking about !

"How could he know that ?" Scott thought. "That's impossible" Shelby thought, "unless he's the one who found the pregnancy test before Daisy" they both thought at the same time, looking at each other. Of course they didn't know about the phone call Peter received.

Sc : How did you know about that ?

So : Yes, how did you know Peter ? And why didn't you tell me ?

S : What are you gonna do with us now ?

P : One question at the time please. First I knew it because the dorms' cleaner gave me a phone call and second I'm not gonna expel you if that's what you're scared about. Third I didn't tell you Sophie because I didn't know how to deal with it.

So : But the line got cut and he didn't have the time to tell you what his phone call was about.

P : Yeah but he called back when you were preparing some coffee for us.

So : Ok. At least now I understand why you looked so weird when I came back with the cups of coffee. I understand why you had this strange look on your face.

P : Look Sophie, I'm really sorry for not telling you but it's not the time to speak about it now.

So (yelling) : Of course, I understand. It's never the time anyway ! You're only thinking about yourself and never about me.

P : Please stop it !

Shelby and Scott were looking at them. Peter was a bit embarrassed to know they were listening. Sophie went out of the office.

P : Stay here guys I'll be back in a minute.

Peter wanted to make things clear with Sophie because he loved her and she loved him too. He didn't love to see her angry at him. He wanted to be forgiven so he ran after her but didn't know where she had run to.
