Six months later …439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGnSOKtmzE
"Oh, gosh. Nikki, what are we going to do? Your pregnancy is showing already."
"It's going to, Charlotte. I'm already six months along."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWPchi3eYp
She groans.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JMsxSbsOP
"My gosh. You act like you're the father instead of Dracula."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnntO3abhZB
"I want to be the child's godmother. Please?"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5oMN9Yho1
"Fine. You can be the godmother, but you can't tell anyone at school. If I want them to know, I'll tell them. Got it?"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m3BFfd2Qo
"Yes, Nikki."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF89XE83zHy
"Good."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTg2xDjV1S
We get to school and go to our lockers. While we're getting our things, Charlotte says,439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7o4gj3IJn
"Oh, hey. I've been meaning to tell you something."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemzTbNv4U0
"What?"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOe7Rl7ifY
"It was said on the news over the summer that the, um, history teacher from last year died of some sort of disease or something. So, we have a new history teacher."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OasWdbe1S
"You're kidding. So I'm going to have to introduce myself? That means I'm going to have to stand at the front of the class, and everyone's going to find out that I'm—"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBneaVW48f
"Shh! Be quiet!" She sighs. "Oh, and his name is Mr. Balaur."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q33LUEZ0c
"Mr. who?"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iQNXGqREU
"Mr. Balaur."
"Oh, God. Do you realize who that is?"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wYBrCo2jm
"Is it really? You've got to be kidding me." She groans. "And more than likely, everyone's going to have to introduce themselves so he can 'get to know us'. That's not good. He's going to figure out that you're pregnant. And the bad thing about it is we have him right before free time. He's also your free time teacher, too, isn't he?"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxlhBmmXZJ
I nod slowly and sigh. "Yes."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5i3LZLMKM
"Oh, no." She moans. Then she gasps. "I have an idea. We can go outside for free time. The doctor said you need the fresh air anyway. For the baby's health."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84yG2xTwVv
"But what if he tells me to stay behind after class? Or if he has outside duty during free time?"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVifjWWZTP
"Well, we're just going to have to hope for the best then."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimd0EHHFqS
Later, I meet up with Charlotte to walk with her to class and as I'm waiting for her, he walks by and sees me. He starts walking over and I freeze. What do I do, what do I do? Ah-ha! I glance up and quickly dash into the classroom I'm waiting outside of. I glance over to the door and to my dismay, he's coming in here with some papers. Oh, shoot. Suddenly, I spot Charlotte.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qh7SY9cem
"Charlotte!"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dbA8gHFu5
She looks over and sees me. I rush over to her, dropping a pencil. I groan. She quickly picks it up and hands it to me. She gets up and sees him. I hide behind her, picking up her things. He looks directly at her.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7f7phm1nM
"Oh, hi Mr. Balaur."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdgsHpgAn7
"Ah, Charlotte. Hello. Do you know where Mrs. Filmore is?"
"Oh, she should be coming back from the printer soon."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tXVWH69XH
"Okay." He sighs. "Hi, Nikki."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0SEyoSE8X
I close my eyes and hug Charlotte's things. "Hi."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPLQGc91X2
I shove her things in her bag as he comes over and leans on Charlotte's desk. I zip up her bag and try my best to avoid looking at him. Suddenly, the intercom comes on.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTgNlTSEIx
"When the bell rings, I need Charlotte Hallaway and Nikki Henderson to the office, please. Charlotte Hallaway and Nikki Henderson to the office. Thank you."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRQwMVoS9w
The bell rings and I try to stand up. I fall and he—he—helps me up.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzw6fCKhLz
I smile half-heartedly. "Thanks." I look at Charlotte, who is staring intensely at him. "Uh, Charlotte?"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMHeBqraCb
"Oh. Sorry." She picks up her bag and glares at Mr. Balaur. He returns the glare and we go to the office. We get to the office and to my delight, mom's there.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTthy0PLMnx
"Mom!" I rush up and hug her.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMgovGIrI0
She puts me at arm's length and examines me. "Are you alright? Did anything happen? Are you feeling well? Is—"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jw8N6fBoX
"Mom, calm down. I'm fine, everything's fine."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BHm7vGFqq
"Okay. Alright. Well, you have an appointment today."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu40FfTd3Jr
"Okay. Can we please go ahead and get there? Please?"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhes7mH8A8
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Can we please just go?"439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2yoBmYGzl
"Alright, fine. We'll go." She looks at the secretary and smiles. "Mm bye."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffokfSk4Rz
"Bye." He looks at me. "Enjoy your doctor's appointment."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaVaNz4Om8
"Yeah. Sure."439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSDL2aZa2s
We leave.439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIDDwDkbuL
