Danger Zone
Please give me a second grace

"Oh look, booties." Peyton said waving a pair of pink baby shoes in my face. I brushed them aside. "Peyt, we don't even know if the baby is a boy or a girl yet. Anyway, we don't need to buy baby clothes for awhile yet." "Your right," she said, "What we need to be buying is maternity clothes." Then she grabbed my arm and dragged me over to the maternity section. That's when all the trouble started.
"Hey Hales." I heard a voice say behind me and felt a hand on my shoulder. I was startled for a moment, then I turned to see the face of my oldest friend, Lucas. "Hey, Luke." I managed to blurt out. He smiled at me, then looked confused. "Hales, why are you in the maternity…" All of a sudden his voice trailed off as Peyton popped out from behind a rack. "So Haley, which one do you like better, the green top or the pink? Cause I think that the pink one would look great one you."
Lucas looked at me questioningly. "Haley are you-" just then he was cut off by hurricane Brooke. "Oh Lucas there you are, I've been looking everywhere for…. Oh hi Haley." She said, just now noticing me. Then she looked around. "Why are you in the maternity section?" "Just what I was asking." Lucas said, "Then Peyton showed up and…" he trailed off seeing Brooke's expression. "What?" he asked.
"Peyton's here?" Brooke questioned. Peyton popped out from hiding behind a rack of maternity jeans. "I'm here, here is me." she said, smiling uncertainly. Brooke narrowed her eyes. "Peyton, not surprised that you're in the section for knocked up girls, seeing as you're such a tramp." She practically spit. "Excuse me, I'm the tramp? What right does anyone, least of all you, have the right to call me a tramp. I've been with three guys when was the last time your number was that low? Freshman year?"
"Whoa, jeeze, what's going on?" Lucas asked. "Nothing Luke let's just go." Brooke said. "No, not until we get this settled." then he looked up Peyton, you're pregnant?" His brow furrowed and he looked concerned. "No," I said, "I am"
