p style="text-align: left;"Everyone was awake by eight, except Rizzo. She slept until nine. When she woke up, everyone was in the living room. Rizzo got out of bed, got dressed, and went to join them. Everyone was sitting on the couch watching "16 and pregnant" while Frenchy's mom made breakfast. When Frenchy noticed Rizzo walking in, she immediately changed the channel./p
p style="text-align: left;""Sure, Rizzo's eighteen, but it's still a sore topic." she thought. She wondered if Rizzo would tell them all right now. Rizzo walked over to the couch and sat with the girls, who were now watching "Jeopardy."/p
p style="text-align: left;""Pancakes are done!" Frenchy's mom yelled from the kitchen. "I call the biggest one!" yelled Jan, already halfway to the kitchen. "Gosh, Jan, save some for us." Marty said, following her to the kitchen. Sandy looked at Frenchy. "Are you coming?" she asked. "Yeah, we'll be there in a bit." Frenchy said. "Ok." Sandy said, and started for the kitchen. Frenchy looked at Rizzo now./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;""Are you still going to tell them today?" she asked. "Yeah, I'm just waiting for the right time. Maybe when your mom isn't here. I don't want her to know." "Come on" Frenchy said, taking Rizzo's hand, "Let's go eat."/p
p style="text-align: left;"When they walked in, everyone stopped eating and looked at them. "Are you guys ok?" Sandy asked. "Yeah, we're fine." Frenchy answered, putting a pancake on her plate. "Want any, Rizz?" Frenchy asked, pointing to the pancakes. "No, thanks, French." she said. Everyone looked at her, but continued eating. Then Frenchy's mom said, " I have to go to the store. Does anyone need anything?"/p
p style="text-align: left;""No, we're ok." Frenchy said. "Ok. I'll be back in an hour." her mom said, and walked out the door. Frenchy looked at Rizzo as soon as her mom left. Rizzo knew what she was thinking. "Great, now I have to tell everyone." she thought. She nodded so that Frenchy was the only one who noticed. Rizzo looked at the girls a bit, then she said, "Hey, I have to tell you guys something." Everyone looked at her, waiting. /p
p style="text-align: left;""You remember that night at the drive in, when Sonny spread the "rumor" that I was pregnant?" Everyone nodded slightly, staring, waiting for her to continue. "And how, at the carnival, I said I wasn't" Marty looked away, sure that she knew where this was going, and kind of ashamed that it was her boyfriend that told everyone in the first place. Rizzo continued. " Well... I am." There. She said it. It's over. But there was still one little detail./p
p style="text-align: left;""I just found out last night." Everyone's eyes widened. They were shocked, yet sympathetic. They then looked at Frenchy, now understanding why she changed the channel earlier. Then Jan, practically speaking for everyone, said, " If you ever need anything, we'll always be here for you." The girls smiled and nodded. Then they all went to hug Rizzo, and she actually let them. She knew she would have to open up eventually./p
p style="text-align: left;""Thanks, girls." she said. "I should probably go tell my parents. I'll come back after." "Ok. See you later Rizz." Frenchy said./p
p style="text-align: left;"Rizzo walked to the door and went outside with a sigh. She knew this would be the hardest part.../p
