Rebecca's POV (Same day at School)
"Hey wait up," I hear KC call to me from down the hall. I stop in my tracks so he can catch up to me.
"Hey," I say giving him a big smile. "So how's your day going," He asks returning my smile.
"Fine I guess, but I just got assigned this big essay for English," I say with a sigh.
"You too! Man I hate writing essays," KC says. "Hey maybe we could work on it together. What do you say?"
"Sure that would be great," I tell him happily.
"KC," A short blonde girl says walking up to us. As she gets closer to us I can't help but notice her protruding stomach.
"KC I thought you were meeting me in the library after lunch," The girl says placing her hands on her hips.
"Jenna, oh man, I forgot," KC says rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "I'm really sorry." The girl, Jenna sighs heavily then her eyes land on me.
She looks me up and down, giving me an annoyed look. KC sees it and is quick with the introductions.
"Jenna this is Rebecca. She's new this year. Rebecca this is my girlfriend Jenna," He says.
I should've guessed by the looks, over jealous girlfriend. It's not the girlfriend part that shocks me; it's more of the 'pregnant' girlfriend part.
"Yes I'm pregnant," She snaps when she catches me looks at her stomach.
"I…I didn't mean to," I stammer trying to find words to redeem myself but something tells me she isn't one for forgiveness.
KC walks over to her and kisses her forehead. He whispers something I can't hear but it makes her smile.
She gives me one more look before walking away down the hall. KC turns to me.
"Sorry about that, I would say it was the baby hormones but she was like that before she got pregnant," He says apologetically.
"I really didn't mean to upset her," I say feeling bad. He shrugs. "It doesn't take much these days. A lot of the time I try to avoid her," He says with a chuckle.
"So do you know what you're having," I ask. "A boy, Tyson," He tells me. I nod.
"Are you scared," I ask curiously. He sighs heavily. "Would it make me sound bad if…..never mind," He starts to say.
"No it's okay, tell me. I won't judge," I tell him touching his arm. He looks down at my hand.
"At first I didn't even want the baby….him. I…I told Jenna I couldn't be a part of its…his life, but I love Jenna and I want to try to be a good dad, you know. Mine left when I was young, and it made life rough. I don't want Tyson to go through what I did," He says seemingly lost in memories.
"Yeah I get it. My life's been….hard too," I say simply.
"Maybe one day we can trade stories," He jokes. My phone starts to vibrate. I take it out and see a message from Tammy, my foster mom.
Don't forget to pick Marissa (my foster sister) from school please sweetheart.
"I uh gotta go pick up my….sister, I guess from school," I say to KC who nods.
"I'll text you, that is if you want to give me your number," He says with a smile.
"Yeah that way you can tell me when you're free to work on our essays," I say handing him a piece of paper with my number on it. "Well I'll see you later."
Annabeth's POV (At the Dot after School)
My mom told me since we'll be living here now that I should get a job. Clare told me about the Dot so now I'm filling out an application. I haven't had much job experience, but how hard could it be, right?
"Hey Anna," Jake Martin says as he sits on the stool next to me. I look up from my application. "Hey Jake."
"So how was your first day," He asks calling over the waitress. I shrug.
"It was just like any other day in any other high school," I say biting the end of my pen. He nods.
"Yeah Degrassi isn't that interesting of a school. Well unless you count the almost stabbings and excessive amounts of bullying," He jokes.
"Degrassi really does sound like a dream doesn't it," I joke back.
The bell above the door rings and in walk Clare and Eli, holding hands. "Hey guys," Clare greets us.
A man comes out from the back of the café and walks up to me. "Are you the one filling out the application," He asks. I nod sheepishly.
"Tell you what, you can have the job if you can start right now. Danni's out sick and as you can see we're picking up," He says looking around the shop.
"Really? Yeah I can totally start right now," I say excitedly. He hands me a t-shirt with The Dot logo and an apron.
"Come back here, I'll give you a quick rundown on the machines," He says before walking away to talk to another employee.
"Mom's gonna be so proud of me," I squeal excitedly. Clare chuckles.
"Well I just wanted to tell you that I'm eating dinner at Eli's tonight so I won't be home until later," She says. "Okay love you. Bye guys," I say putting my apron on.
They wave goodbye as the leave. "Hey Anna," Jake says grabbing my wrist before I walk behind the counter.
"Uh yeah what's up Jake," I ask looking up at him. He scratches the back of his neck nervously.
"Uhm I was just wondering if you wanted to have dinner with me at Little Miss Steaks tonight since Clare's eating at Eli's," He says.
I give him a look. "Is this your clever way of asking me on a date," I ask with a giggle.
"I guess it is," He says giving me a smile. "Well then pick me up at eight," I tell him. He nods and turns toward the door. "See you at eight," He yells. I smile.
Jake's superhot, not Eli hot, but hot in a cowboy/boy-next door kind of way.
