"Well?". Candice starred into his blue eyes. She remembered the first time she saw him. She was 15 and he was just turning 16. It was the first day of Highschool, and Candice, like many other Freshman students, was eager to find out the true exceptations of a Highschool student. She had been introduce to him by Jeff, Mickie and Melina didnt like him from the start. They wished Candice would see he wasnt right for her. If only she had listened.

"Um...., sure". Candice hesistated. She moved her large binder over as Randy took a seat next to her. Her eyes looking at the floor, trying to ignore his obivious stare.

"You know...". He started. "You look so beautiful". He complimented the brunette, leaving her at a smile.

Candice blushed. Although Randy was a jerk, Candice knew she would soon find herself back in his arms someday, but this time, which a child.

"We she get started". She removed a lingering piece of brunette hair from her face and turned to the page written on the board.

"Whats the rush Candy?". Randy closed the large text book. Candice rolled her eyes. She remembered why she had broken up with Randy in the past. He was childish.

"Randy stop! We have to do this assignment or we'll fail. Y'know, something your used to".

"Whoa sweetie, calm down. Why so serious Candy? You know I'm just kidding".

"Well its time to grow up Randy! Your gonna be a....". Candice trailed off. She saw starres she was getting from, around the room, even from the teacher.

"What?". Randy looked her in the eye. "Candice what were you going to say?".

"Nothing...I have to go". Candice grabbed her books and darted out of the silent classroom. She had almost let out her secrect to not only Randy, but to her unwanted peers. Candice walked into the girls bathroom- luckily, it had noone it there, so she was safe to herself.

"I'm sorry baby". Candice whispered as she put a hand on her belly of 4 weeks. A tear fell down her face. Even though she was only 17, Candice felt like a mother already.

"People are saying you just zoomed out of the class! Whats up with you Candice? You've been out of it lately....". The hyper Mickie James took a drink of her decafed coffee.

"Nothing, I've just been a little tired lately. Y'know with cheerleading and all...its kind of hard to get sleep". Candice climbed onto her king sized bed. It was the end of a terrible school day Candice and all she wanted to do was sleep in her bed.

"Really? 'Cause I think there something you not telling us". Melina narrowed her eyes at Candice as she turned a page in her OK! magazine.

"H-Honest guy.....I w-wouldnt lie t-to you guys".

"Dude you studdering!". Mickie took up from the swovle chair she was sitting in. "You always sweat when your lying!".

"Whats going on Candice? Your acting strange". Melina put down the magazine and focused her attetion on the best friend.

Candice went to close her bedroom door being turning back to her friends. "Guys you have to promise- no swear you wont tell a lving soul what I'm about to tell you!".

The two girls looked at eachother nervously before nodding at Candice.

"Guys....I...I'm...I'm pregnant". Candice glanced at the two girls, who were in shock.

"Pregnant? No Candy you cant be pregnant...you just cant be".

"Well I am Mickie!". Candice yelled. Her brown eyes will with tears. "I didnt mean for this to happen...it.....it just- I dont know!".

"Candice, please dont tell me the father is Randy". Melina looked at her teary eyed friend. If anything- she hoped that Candice had had a one night stand with some guy, who wasnt Randy. But her hopes failed her. "Candy no......".

"I'm sorry, okay!? I was stupid for one night and made a mistake!".

The three teenagers looked at eachother, not knowing what to say. They remembered the first time they all met eachother, back in grade 6. Mickie was still over hyper and engetic as was today. Melina was the attitude. And Candice was the leader. They had been threw everything together, from walking into the halls of middle school, to having their first kiss with a boy, It just seemed unreal how that all changed.

"Have you told Randy?". Mickie mummbled as her eyes studied the carpeten floor.

Candice shook her head. "No....".

"Your mom?". The Latina looked up a little, slightly reliefed that her friend had told an adult.

"Your family is cool about this?".

"Not anymore than I am".

"Have you....told Randy?".

"I cant Mickie. Hes not ready to hear about this".

"What about when you start growing?". Melina glanced at her friends growing belly. She was suprised how she had no noticed how much Candice looked pregnant. But it was still barely noticeable.

"I....I dont know...Mickie what did your sister do when she out she was pregnant?".

Both girls turned their attetion to Mickie. They knew she hated talking about how her sister got pregnant at the age of 15, but this was a crisis.

"She got homeschooled, by one of my moms friends, and when the baby was born she gave it up for adoption. After a few months she went back to school, and had her regular life back". Mickie sighed. The memory of her nephew being born brought her to tears sometimes, but what angered her the most is how her family acted like he was never born. She wished her sister would have stayed in contact with the adoptive parents, half of her wondered what it would be like being an Aunt.

"What did they name the baby?".

"Jordynn". A smile came across Mickies lips. She had came up with that name, and the adoptive parent liked it too.

"I think what your sister did was smart Mickie!". Candice beamed at Mickie, to find her facial expression was not a kind one.

"You think it was smart? Candice she didnt even look at the baby, let alone hold him! She was only thinking about herself, and for that I hate her!". Mickie grabbed her bookbag and exited the room.

"Whats her problem?".

"Candy shes been threw a lot. Her sister got pregnant and gave the baby away, you know how Mickie gets with babies....".

"Well Jordynn wasnt her baby! She will just have to learn that life isnt fair". Candice grabbed her cell phone, glancing at her new text message.

"Is it her that needs to grow uo Candice or you?". Melina took up from the small chair she had been sitting in.

"Excuse me?".

"Candice you havent even told Randy your pregnant and you think Mickie needs to grow up? News flash Candice, you need to grow up!". Melina, like Mickie, left the room, leaving Candice to her own. Not only had she lost her best friends, there was a rumor going around school.

Candice Michelle is PREGNANT! FWD to everyone that goes to Menville High!

Candice felt hot tears running down her face. Everything she didnt want to happen was happening.
