When Kristy woke up the next morning, she was lying in a strange bed, with only her underwear on. She had a killer headache, and she had no idea what had happened the night before.
She got up, saw that it was ten thirty, and hurriedly put her clothes on. As she left the room, she saw Leo lying on the bed. She gasped. Had she…? No, impossible. She would have remembered it. She quickly left the bedroom, and ran all the way home.
When she walked through the front door, she saw Elizabeth standing in the hallway, pacing up and down. When the door banged open, she glanced up, and ran to Kristy and threw her arms around her.
'KRISTY! Where have you been?' Elizabeth exclaimed, hugging her tightly. 'Hi, Mum,' Kristy replied. 'I was at a friend's,' Kristy added quickly. 'Whose? I rang Claudia, Mary Anne, Abby, Stacey and even Mallory and Jessi!'
'Um…Do you remember Myriah and Miranda, the twins?" Kristy asked. Elizabeth nodded.
'I was at their house. It's ok, isn't it?'
'Well, yeah, but I wish you'd rung first. I was worried.' Elizabeth gave Kristy a final hug, and walked off.
The next day, Wednesday, Kristy turned up at the BSC meeting. She was determined to get on with her life. She was greeted by an enthusiastic group of friends.
'KRISTY! How are you? Are you ok?' Mary Anne asked, wrapping her up in a big hug.
'Oh my God! You came!' Abby exclaimed. 'Does this mean I can get a ride home with you? I had to ride my bike.'
The group was talking excitedly, when five thirty rolled around. Kristy remained silent. She flipped through the record book, chewing on a piece of gum. The others looked at one another. This wasn't the same Kristy! Nether the less, they conducted the meeting without saying a word.
They carried on like this for four months. Then during one meeting, Kristy suddenly ran out of the room. She went into the bathroom, locked the door, and threw up. This only concluded what Kristy had suspected.
She returned to Claudia's bedroom, grabbed her things and then left again, without saying good-bye. She ran to downtown Stoneybrook, and found an open chemist.
Half-an hour later, she returned home, and went straight upstairs to bed. She locked herself in her bedroom, and once again cried herself to sleep. She was pregnant.
