Chapter five

Kono and Adam walked hand in hand towards the school gates, feeling the burn of eyes boring into them. Kono's year had been told about her pregnancy and it of course had spread around the whole school. She had hoped her friends would at least be supportive but most seemed either uninterested or were judgmental. Some of her closer friends had text her when they found out she was pregnant asking why she would ever have slept with Adam. It upset her greatly to see how judgmental her friends were and that they didn't like Adam. She was petrified to go to her lessons knowing Adam was the year above her so wouldn't be around.

"You going to be okay babe?" Adam asked as they stopped outside her class.

"I wish you were in my year"

"I know babe but it will be fine, people will get bored of gossiping, just ignore them."

"Will you be about at lunch?"

"Yes sweetheart I'll get you from English"

"Okay"

"Be fab!"

Kono kissed Adam goodbye and followed her class into the room, taking a seat at the very back in the corner. She avoided looking at anyone and hoped to keep attention off of her. The teacher walked slowly towards the back though and stopped by Kono.

"It's good to see you back Kono" Miss Bevel said.

"Thanks" Kono mumbled hoping people would stop looking her way.

"If you need to leave at any point that's fine you don't need to ask"

"Okay"

Miss Bevel smiled and went back to the front getting everyone's attention and re-directing it from Kono.

It didn't take long however for people to start whispering and looking at her, then someone passed her a note.

Did he pay you to sleep with him?

Bet he doesn't want you or the sprog!

Kono blinked back the tears and just focused on her text book. She was determined not to walk out over bullies; she wanted to do well for her baby.

When lunch time came Kono left her class expecting to see Adam waiting for her but he wasn't about. Everyone that walked past just stared at her and made comments, whispering in groups and looking towards her, some even laughing. She decided waiting wouldn't look good and people would just keep staring so she made her way down the corridor but her so called friends caught up to her and stopped her.

"So are you actually pregnant with Noshimuri's kid?" Rein asked.

"Yes, don't call him that, his names Adam"

"I can't believe you had sex with him, or that he slept with you" Marley laughed.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Well, you're just you…he's a rich kid, or was he could have had anyone"

Kono felt herself want to cry but refused to let her friends see her tears.

"How can you say that, I thought we were friends?"

"Well you ran off with him and had sex"

"So what?"

"We didn't even know you were dating?"

"We…"

"You weren't were you?" Rein exclaimed

"So!"

"You slut!" Chloe laughed as she overheard and joined them.

"We were friends he wasn't random."

"Still"

"Why does being pregnant have to change our friendship?" Kono asked sadly.

"You're all over Adam and now you've ruined your life with some kid…we don't like him and we don't want to be around a baby so there"

Kono sighed and shook her head before walking away towards the school field.

Kono returned home in an angry mood. She was upset over what happened with her friends and Adam hadn't met her like her promised. He hadn't even answered her texts or calls all day.

"Hey keikei" Nani greeted when Kono stormed through the door. "What's wrong ipo?"

"I hate school, everyone hates me, no one want's to be my friend and Adam didn't meet me like he promised!" Kono sobbed hysterically, her hormones getting the better of her.

Nani rushed to Kono's side and pulled her into her embrace protectively. She had a feeling school would be hard for Kono but she didn't expect to see her so upset.

"Let's sit down keikei" Nani ushered. "Take some deep breaths ipo"

"It was horrible"

"Sshh, tell me what happened"

"Everyone knows, there all whispering and talking about me and then Rein, Marley and Chloe said they don't want to be friends with me anymore because they don't like Adam and they don't want to be around a baby…they said I've ruined my life….and Adam said he would meet me at lunch and he didn't and he didn't answer my texts" Kono sobbed.

"Okay darling calm down…people are going to say stuff ipo but you have to learn to ignore it. Those girls are pathetic and childish, they have no idea what sort of an amazing friend their loosing but you can't let them bring you down. You are wonderful and brave and you are being so grown up and responsible…do not worry about immature girls"

"It wouldn't have been so bad if Adam was there but he wasn't" Kono cried.

"Keikei Adam may have a reason, let's wait until he come's home and find out where he was"

Kono nodded sadly and sobbed. It wasn't long before Adam walked through the door with worry on his face.

"Oh thank god you're here" Adam sighed in relief.

"Where were you? You didn't meet me!" Kono yelled angrily.

Adam felt terrible and quickly jumped to defend himself, moving towards her and pulling her down next to him.

"My phone died, I got stuck in class doing a test so by the time I got out you were gone. I looked around for you but I didn't find you then I got called to speak with Mrs Moore about stuff. I went to your last class after I finished but you had been let out already. I'm sorry baby" Adam apologised.

Kono felt silly for over reacting and leaned into Adam's embrace.

"Sorry"

"Don't worry; I'll make sure my phones fully charged for tomorrow"

"Okay"

"How was your day then?" Adam asked having had a relatively okay day himself.

Kono bowed her head sadly.

"Horrible"

"What happened?"

Nani left the two to talk and busied herself making them hot chocolates.

"My friends hate me, they say I've ruined my life and they don't like you…they don't want anything to do with me" Kono sobbed. "And everyone else just whispers about me"

"Oh sweetheart I'm sorry"

"Why are you sorry?"

"Because you're having trouble because of me"

"It's not your fault"

"I can stay away from your friends if that would make them stay friends with you?"

"No, I don't want you to feel like you have to avoid people…if they can't accept this I don't want to be their friends anyway"

Nani smiled from the kitchen watching the two together. She loved how mature they both were and appreciated how much Adam looked after Kono.

"Here you both are" Nani grinned handing them hot chocolates.

"Thanks mum"
