Six months later …349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8cuYZtQRQ
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCRXsoy4Nd
She groans.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnHhSyZyPB
"My gosh. You act like you're the father instead of Dracula."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LvLUirtHy
"I want to be the child's godmother. Please?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5eH0muaIw
"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?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumXCu8Okyb
"Yes, Nikki."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9apj5bYqa
"Good."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTOxtqRvPt
We get to school and go to our lockers. While we're getting our things, Charlotte says,349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GdfQUY2v2
"Oh, hey. I've been meaning to tell you something."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoHiEANxqZ
"What?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB3DZuRO3E
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsggHIcNW3n
"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—"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4lrmHm2N4
"Shh! Be quiet!" She sighs. "Oh, and his name is Mr. Balaur."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFq7uoiEF2
"Mr. who?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmAUT1Bn9Y
"Mr. Balaur."
"Oh, God. Do you realize who that is?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF6mf42TlS
"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?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVzviNeF6u
I nod slowly and sigh. "Yes."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpcnJ5821p
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfSbP0ZWEp
"But what if he tells me to stay behind after class? Or if he has outside duty during free time?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr1JhOsFr0
"Well, we're just going to have to hope for the best then."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmilAk6pwnG
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7jxHy7N9Z
"Charlotte!"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrnDWcIuoa
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49MbLsicEW
"Oh, hi Mr. Balaur."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PyvsKoACn
"Ah, Charlotte. Hello. Do you know where Mrs. Filmore is?"
"Oh, she should be coming back from the printer soon."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCgko0EAuJ
"Okay." He sighs. "Hi, Nikki."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPSXY71TRx
I close my eyes and hug Charlotte's things. "Hi."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i2FaRXyqF
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7ofVCeRyd
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRFbW1Gflm
The bell rings and I try to stand up. I fall and he—he—helps me up.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkIrEvvudE
I smile half-heartedly. "Thanks." I look at Charlotte, who is staring intensely at him. "Uh, Charlotte?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRVYfaBcRy
"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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9dJFfmuDi
"Mom!" I rush up and hug her.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOGbGsKe7M
She puts me at arm's length and examines me. "Are you alright? Did anything happen? Are you feeling well? Is—"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9x6k1Odcs
"Mom, calm down. I'm fine, everything's fine."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhRSdxK4sh
"Okay. Alright. Well, you have an appointment today."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmCYzQ7brN
"Okay. Can we please go ahead and get there? Please?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcixPjrZxdA
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Can we please just go?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXwZBSPfHF
"Alright, fine. We'll go." She looks at the secretary and smiles. "Mm bye."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNvBKxVjHb
"Bye." He looks at me. "Enjoy your doctor's appointment."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFoqtoQp0H
"Yeah. Sure."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRUt6hE04Q
We leave.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzm8KjAH4c
