The next day, Kristy woke up and knew she had to go to school. She had to be strong. So, she brushed her teeth (after throwing up twice) and went to school. She had chosen to tell her friends about what had happened and hope that they supported her. She managed to get through breakfast without being questioned by her Mother or brothers about anything, and met Abby outside to wait for the bus.
'Hey, Abby. We need to have an emergency meeting of the BSC at lunchtime, ok?' Kristy asked, not looking at her directly.
'Sure, no problem. What is it about?' Abby asked.
'You'll know soon enough.' Kristy replied.
The bus pulled up to the kerb, and Kristy and Abby boarded along with everyone else. Abby and Kristy remained silent throughout the bus ride, each girl in a world of their own. Kristy sighed again and looked out the window. Maybe her friends could help her decide what to do.
At school, everything was a blur. Abby and Kristy passed on the message about the emergency meeting, and at lunchtime, all the BSC members gathered around each other in the middle of the oval, where they could talk in private. (Mallory and Jessi weren't there; they have a different lunch hour.)
'So why did you call this meeting?' Abby asked, looking at Kristy expectantly.
'Um…I need to tell you guys something…something important,' Kristy replied in a whisper.
'Get on with it!' Stacey snapped.
'Um, I- I –I I'm pregnant.' Kristy whispered. The reactions were not what she hoped for.
'WHAT?' Claudia shrieked, 'How could you have been so STUPID!'
'Whose is it?' Stacey demanded.
'Are you sure?' Mary Anne asked.
'Oh, Kristy! Who did this too you?' Abby asked.
Kristy was crying now. She couldn't stop. Claudia and Stacey called her a slut, then walked away with linked arms.
'Kristy. You are the most sensible person I know. How could you let this happen?' Mary Anne asked, then she too walked away.
Kristy looked up with a sobbing face at Abby, expecting her to walk away as well. But, instead, she pulled Kristy to her feet, and led her to a bathroom that hardly anyone uses anymore.
'It's ok. You can leave if you want to.' Kristy told Abby, wiping her face with some paper towels.
'No. How did this happen? Was it without your consent?' Abby asked, moping Kristy's face. Kristy nodded miserably.
'He was a friend of Charlie's. He found me wandering around, so he invited me back to his house. I went, and then he gave me a drink. He told me it was non-alcoholic. Then all I remember is waking up with him next to me in bed. I was only in my underwear.' Kristy started a fresh flow of tears.
'Sue him. Come on, I'm taking you back to my house.' Kristy, too tired to protest, led Abby lead her all the way home.
