    It's been a month since I left the
hospital. I am now about 10 weeks and 6 days pregnant (yes I have
been counting). I woke up this morning with the intention of
telling Rane, but now that I am walking up the steps to Falneama
(Fall-nee-ay-ma) Creek High School, I suddenly have absolutely no
courage.
    It has all just drained out of me like
someone pulled the drain plug and it all swept right out of me. I
see Rane as I go through the door and into the halls. He leans on
the lockers, surrounded by his friends. They all are jocks and good
looking. They're like a group of the hottest guys and girls.
Muscles, flat stomachs- yeah that kind of thing.
    I slowly walk past them and bite my
lip. I know I have to tell him but I won't just walk straight up
into their little group. They would definitely embarrass me in
front of the whole school. I will just have to wait and see if I
can find him alone.
    My pen taps the edge of the
desk- a tit tat tit sound- and my right leg bounces up and down. I haven't been
able to get a hold of Rane yet today and I'm already in third, the
teacher lady droning on and on. My paper sits blank and untouched
in front of me, without an answer circled.
    The bell rings and I run up to the
front, slamming the paper onto Mrs. Finter's desk. She looks up a
bit startled but I'm already out the door. I have a sudden burst of
courage as I see Rane. I use it to my advantage.
    I don't care that I bump into some of
the popular people on my way to them. I barely see the surprise and
relief plastered onto their faces. I don't much care for the
protesting "Hey"s or "Watch it, Bitch"s form the group
either.
    I just grab Rane's hand and pull him
into an empty classroom. Surprise along with glee coats his
handsome face.
    "I-I have to tell you
s-something," my stuttering side makes and appearance along with my
sudden nerves. He nods and seems to put on a serious face even when
I sense the glee still hidden, just beyond the wall he tried
putting up. Why is he so damn happy for me
to talk to him? He can have anyone, so why me?
    "Well... It's kind of hard to say," I
continue on with a slightly shaking hand through my hair. I start
to pace, back and forth, back and forth. He slowly sinks into a
nearby chair. His hand also runs through his own hair, creating a
sexy mess of black. He looks to me with a nervous face.
    "Look, just say it. It's only me and
you in her-" I cut him off as he is trying to say
something.
    "I'm pregnant." I put it bluntly with a
sigh, deciding to just get it over with. I still have my mom to
tell. Great. Note the sarcasm, I'm dreading the moment I have to. I
was facing away from him but now I turn around back to
him.
    I'm surprised by what I see. A small
smile creeps along his lips.
    "Are you.. happy?" I had to know what
was going on in that head of his. I see a twinkle appear in his
eyes as he looks up to me from the chair he sits in. It makes his
whole face change and he seems even hotter while he's happy. I
decide I want to make him happy more often.
    "Well.. yeah! I mean, I got my mat- I
mean, no... but this will all be okay. I will help out in any way."
he stops his sentence as he says it and I don't know what he was
going to say. Mat- what? I will figure it out, sooner or
later.
    He gets up from the chair he's sitting
in and I sag onto a nearby desk. I was already looking into
adoption, not at all expecting him to want to help me out. I mean,
don't in all the books and movies the guys leave the girls for
themselves?
    I knew I couldn't raise a child alone,
but now he wants to help- what do I do? Abortion was out of the
picture altogether. I just wasn't the type of person to be able to
do that and be able to live my life -happily- knowing that I did. I
couldn't really explain it, I just couldn't do that to an innocent
life inside me.
    "Oh." was all I could say.
My eyes were a little wide with the realization that my life was a
little cliché. Haha. I almost giggled at the insanity of it. Me, the
