Chapter 4
Kat's PoV
"Uhh, Miss Raine, can me and Abigail talk to you after class?" I asked Miss Raine while at the same time trying to stop my teeth from chattering.
"Of course Katrina," Miss Raine said calling me by my dreaded full name. "But for now, back to work as Tinkerbell."
We met with her after class and I stood by Abigail's side as she told Miss Raine the news no teacher, especially one at the National Academy of Dance, wants to hear.
"How far along are you?" She asked Abigail with her notorious eyebrow raised higher than I had ever seen it before.
"Four months," Abigail replied and I could see that she was fighting back tears.
"Have you told the father yet?" Was Miss Raine's next rapid fire question. This set Abigail off and she erupted into tears. Miss Raine looked at me for answers.
"Umm, Miss, it's a bit hard to tell him, h-h-he's not with us anymore," I couldn't bear to say his name.
"Oh, so the father is Samuel Lieberman?" I can see her face change at the realization. Almost, pity.
"Yes miss, the father is Sammy," I answered the only reason I could bear to say his name was because he had hated the name Samuel.
"Miss Raine, what do you think's going to happen," Abigail managed in a meek voice.
"Well, you can't continue in your classes this year but I will allow you to come back next year if you're ready," Miss Raine said and I even think I saw her smile. "Also I can allow you to stay as a 'guest' in the spare bed in Katrina's room until you find an apartment for yourself," yes she was definitely smiling now.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you," Abigail kept on saying it over and over again.
"You can't stay there forever. Oh and Kat, I give you permission to move off campus if you want to look after Abigail, I don't want you living alone, okay Abigail."
"Yes miss we completely understand," Abigail said with a grin spreading across her face. But it was my turn to say thank you and I did, over and over again.
We were moving off campus and out into the big wide world. And we were doing it together.
