Six months later …497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoagIE3BA7y
"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."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhYkhfkty2
She groans.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeVxoZNt1S
"My gosh. You act like you're the father instead of Dracula."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrma7rUFWeF
"I want to be the child's godmother. Please?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKFlRIzZTX
"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?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsGtg4aFW7
"Yes, Nikki."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2aihKUhzP
"Good."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsPff93EVj
We get to school and go to our lockers. While we're getting our things, Charlotte says,497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadosuz2NWI
"Oh, hey. I've been meaning to tell you something."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF7gEFKj3S
"What?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA7SfbllLy
"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."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeqI7h1Vhj
"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—"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtDO85MblC
"Shh! Be quiet!" She sighs. "Oh, and his name is Mr. Balaur."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ylkBJZEk
"Mr. who?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk8OmNsnaD
"Mr. Balaur."
"Oh, God. Do you realize who that is?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBEBZimWzb
"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?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aaDQkbPF6
I nod slowly and sigh. "Yes."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBNBnq9vhN
"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."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIarKNqZXlF
"But what if he tells me to stay behind after class? Or if he has outside duty during free time?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcjBc4gPI6
"Well, we're just going to have to hope for the best then."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92D6HbmxWw
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.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyTcF6meKq
"Charlotte!"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYSRqFdJx6
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.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIc9fmdMYl
"Oh, hi Mr. Balaur."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUnFDgP0Dy
"Ah, Charlotte. Hello. Do you know where Mrs. Filmore is?"
"Oh, she should be coming back from the printer soon."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnjNMsMqHe
"Okay." He sighs. "Hi, Nikki."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY5sBwU5Ea
I close my eyes and hug Charlotte's things. "Hi."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc5VNsQSOe
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.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3J9rwXqsO
"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."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA7TVZDC3C
The bell rings and I try to stand up. I fall and he—he—helps me up.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnbyn9r40c
I smile half-heartedly. "Thanks." I look at Charlotte, who is staring intensely at him. "Uh, Charlotte?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvPtycZuNz
"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.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsGS3hpPpo
"Mom!" I rush up and hug her.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6kjBB4lTs
She puts me at arm's length and examines me. "Are you alright? Did anything happen? Are you feeling well? Is—"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FcwRgEsPI
"Mom, calm down. I'm fine, everything's fine."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSnRNdRUAx
"Okay. Alright. Well, you have an appointment today."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSA3yntIj8
"Okay. Can we please go ahead and get there? Please?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd8SmkGdGy
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Can we please just go?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVFyouVDfC
"Alright, fine. We'll go." She looks at the secretary and smiles. "Mm bye."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSZ3lE24zk
"Bye." He looks at me. "Enjoy your doctor's appointment."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL1GVGoE53
"Yeah. Sure."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtGf2HpWi1
We leave.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDNsWzcyZc
