"Where is Miss Rush?" Miss Denby asked, as she looked around the classroom suddenly. "Is she ill?"
Fabian, Patricia and Joy frowned, exchanging looks.
"No, she's probably gone into town to take a pregnancy test." Jerome called out.
"Jerome!" Joy exclaimed, turning round to glare at him.
"Leave KT alone." Fabian growled. "You're biased because Alfie is your best friend. As she said, it takes two to tangle so it isn't only KT's fault."
"Girls have way more self control when they're drunk!" Mara argued. "She could have stopped it but she didn't!"
"C'mon, Yacker, after all that time of not trusting KT you're going to side with her?" Eddie asked incredulously.
"Yes, because KT is right and she's my friend. I thought she was yours too, Eddie. But I guess that proves that everyone is wrong about you." with that, Patricia turned to the front, shaking her head.
"What's going on?" Willow asked.
"They're all taking sides about Alfie and KT." Joy told her.
"Enough!" Miss Denby yelled.
The Anubis residents jumped, since they'd forgotten she was there.
"I have no interest in what's happened on the outside. The point is, KT is absent. Where is she?" Miss Denby demanded.
Before anyone could answer, KT walked in. It was obvious from her spiky eyelashes and her dull, emotion-filled eyes that she had been crying.
"Decided to join us, Miss Rush?" Caroline Denby asked her.
"Sorry, Miss Denby." KT mumbled, walking towards Fabian. He had a spare seat beside him, in front of where Patricia and Joy say. KT slid into the seat beside Fabian and rested her arms on the desk.
"Where were you?" Fabian whispered.
"The bathroom." KT responded.
"What, crying?" he asked. "Why, KT?"
"Because of Eddie." KT said quietly.
Fabian froze. "How...how did you..."
"I was in a cubicle when you guys were talking about it." KT mumbled.
"Oh...KT, I'm sorry..." Fabian began.
"It's okay, cos..." KT smiled weakly at him. "I have Joy, you, and Patricia. I guess that's all I need." but both she and Fabian knew that wasn't true.
Fabian grabbed her hand and squeezed it softly. "We'll always stick by you, KT." he promised her.
"Aww, a new couple has been formed, so sweet." Eddie said, his tone surprisingly spiteful. "Is he going to help you bring up the baby, Rush?"
He'd never called her that before. KT froze where she sat, tears welling in her eyes.
"Back off, jerk." Patricia said. "She's not pregnant."
"Nobody knows that for sure yet." Mara pointed out.
It was unusual of Mara to take sides.
"It's sad that you have to pick on other people to make yourselves feel better." Fabian snapped, and a few seconds after the bell rang.
KT jumped up, grabbed her bag and began storming out. Fabian caught up with her and took her hand, walking away.
Joy glanced behind at Jerome, Alfie, Eddie and Mara and was surprised but satisfied to see looks of guilt on their faces. She smirked, linked her arm through Patricia's and walked out, following Fabian and KT's lead.

"I'm scared, Fabian." KT said quietly. They were in an abandoned classroom alone, and she was sitting on a desk, her hands on her knees. Fabian was standing in front of her. He took both her hands in his.
"Listen, KT. Whether you're pregnant or not, I'm not leaving your side. Okay?" he smiled softly, kissing her on the cheek. "Me, Patricia and Joy...we're here for you, okay?"
The door opened and the two looked over to see Willow in the doorway.
"Willow...hi..." KT jumped down from the table and gently took her hands from Fabian's. "Willow, I am so so so SO sorry..."
"I forgive you." Willow smiled softly. "Listen, KT...I think what Alfie and the other three are doing is horrible. I'm on your side. I'm not angry at you because friends...friends come before boys. Besides, my relationship with Alfie wasn't really working anyway."
KT hugged Willow tightly. "That doesn't make what I did right..."
"It wasn't just you, though, so don't worry. I forgive you, honestly." Willow smiled, and as they pulled apart, she waved and left.
"I'm glad Willow isn't mad at me." KT sighed softly, linking her arm through Fabian's and walking out.
She spotted Joy and Patricia and she smiled, letting go of Fabian as the two walked over to the girls.
"Hey! What's up?" KT asked.
Joy glanced at KT with a serious face. "KT..."
"What?" KT frowned, looking at Fabian questioningly. He shrugged at her, confused, and they both returned their gazes to Joy and Patricia.
"It's...Alfie had a fight." Patricia said.
KT crossed her arms. "With?"
"Eddie." Joy told her.
"What was the fight about?" Fabian asked.
Patricia and Joy stared intently at KT.
"Wait...what?!" KT frowned. "They had a fight about me?!"
Mwuahaha more casual drama :D Enjoy!
