Three months had passed. Everyone was back at school. Phil had been with Ally for nine months. They were in love. Phil was outside sitting on grassy patch studying. Ally came up to him and sat down next to him.
"Hi baby." Phil said.
"Hi." He could tell something was wrong.
"What's a matter?"
"Nothing." "We're still on for dinner tonight right?"
"Absolutely." "Are you sure nothing's wrong?"
"I'm fine."
"Ok." They kissed.
"I love you."
"I love you to."
Later that night Phil went to Ally's dorm for dinner. He knocked on the door.
"Hi." Ally said.
"Hi."
"Come on in." He went in. They kissed.
"Smells good in here."
"I made your favorite."
After dinner they were sitting on the couch.
"Alright." Phil said. "What's wrong?"
"Phil." "I'm pregnant."
"What?"
"I'm pregnant Phil."
"Wow."
"That's what I said."
"I mean wow."
"Are you ok?"
"Yes I'm fine."
"You don't want the baby do you?
"Of course I do." "I'm just a little shocked."
"Me to."
"This is great." "We're gonna have a baby." He kissed her. "Don't worry everything's gonna be fine." "I love you."
"I love you to."
AJ was now going to New York University. She had a boyfriend. His name was Todd Howard. They met in her biology class. They were lab partners. They'd been going out for two months. He was really smart like her. That was one of the main things she was attracted to about him. She also found him very attractive. He had blue eyes and light brown hair. He had to wear glasses to read but he was one of those people that glasses made even more attractive. Every once in awhile AJ would see Trish on campus. Trish had transferred there after Chris broke up with her. AJ was walking to her next class. She saw Trish walking ahead of her.
"Trish." She said. Trish slowed down so AJ could catch up with her.
"Hi AJ." Trish said. "Going to class?"
"Yeah." "You?"
"I'm going to work." "How's your boyfriend?"
"He's good."
"Well it was good seeing you."
"Nice seeing you to."
Trish went to work at a diner. She hated it but she needed the money. Ever since Chris had broken up with her she'd had one unsuccessful relationship after another. She hadn't been happy in a long time.
AJ and Todd were her dorm studying. He was sitting at AJ's desk. He took off his glasses and sighed.
"Tired?" AJ said standing behind him with a cup of coffee in her hand.
"Yeah it's been a long day."
"Here." She said handing him the cup of coffee.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." She started rubbing his shoulders.
"That feels good." "Thank you." "You take such good care of me."
"That's because I lo-
"What?"
"Nothing." She stopped rubbing his shoulders.
"AJ what were you gonna say?" He asked smiling me at her.
"Nothing." He stood up.
"Aw you were gonna say you love me weren't you?"
"No." She said blushing.
"Say it."
"No."
"Say it." "It's ok."
"No."
"Why not?" "I love you."
"You do?" "Really?"
"I do."
"I love you to." They kissed. They laid back on the bed. He started to unbutton her shirt. She pulled away. "Todd, I've never done this before."
"You're a virgin?"
"Yeah."
"It's ok." "We don't have to do this."
"No." "I want to I'm just afraid."
"Don't be afraid I won't hurt you."
"I know." They kissed.
John was on his campus sitting in a coffee shop. He liked it in Massachusetts. He was considering moving there after graduation and becoming a police officer. A woman came up to him. He recognized her from English class.
"Hi John." She said.
"Hi um,
"Riley."
"Riley."
"Can I sit down?"
"Sure."
Sam liked it at Stanford. Everyone there was really nice. She was engaged to the love of her life and on her way to becoming an MD. She tried to be happy as best she could. On the outside she was the happiest person in the world. On the inside she was still depressed and guilt ridden. She was still on anti-depressants and going to therapy three times a week. She was in her dorm working on a paper and waiting for her new roommate to arrive. She was a transfer student. The door opened. A woman came inside.
"Hi you must be Samantha." She said.
"I am." "You can call me Sam.
"I'm Lily."
"Nice to meet you."
"You to." They shook hands. "That's a beautiful ring." "Are you married?"
"No." "I'm engaged."
"Congratulations."
"Thanks."
A few hours later they decided to go to sleep. Sam made sure Lily was asleep then got her locked box out from under her bed. She unlocked it and took out the picture of her and Isabelle. She got back in bed and clutched it to her chest under the covers.
Randy was in the library with Rachel. They were teamed up on a science project. It was night. They were in the library sitting at a desk.
"Ok so if you take this calculation- Randy was saying. He felt Rachel's hand on his leg. He took it off. "Stop."
"You're so hot when you're angry."
"Rachel I'm engaged."
"Can't I throw you a bachelor party?" "You know, we're the only ones here." She started kissing the side of his neck.
"Rachel stop." She sat on the table. She took off her shirt and leaned forward. She kissed Randy. He kissed her back. She climbed in his lap. He took off her bra. He kissed her neck.
"Oh Randy." She moaned.
