Six months later …394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD2dYDGgpR
"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."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtNfJP9gC5
She groans.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUUGa5xqZI
"My gosh. You act like you're the father instead of Dracula."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyreYxDHXV
"I want to be the child's godmother. Please?"394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE6YRyHLY9
"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?"394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJVX24TEw5
"Yes, Nikki."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLs14E61Ti
"Good."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYkqxKIQOz
We get to school and go to our lockers. While we're getting our things, Charlotte says,394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcSRXRWr5O
"Oh, hey. I've been meaning to tell you something."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ853YLye1C7
"What?"394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jGaemGSc6
"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."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MTLqWAdQ1
"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—"394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yXCCr2b84
"Shh! Be quiet!" She sighs. "Oh, and his name is Mr. Balaur."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSqm3CAZEZ
"Mr. who?"394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzqJWWdrXj
"Mr. Balaur."
"Oh, God. Do you realize who that is?"394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RWMXI6Ydv
"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?"394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4RnudyO1w
I nod slowly and sigh. "Yes."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KvNJvFeYB
"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."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76DaR2GbpM
"But what if he tells me to stay behind after class? Or if he has outside duty during free time?"394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkackNORZ1
"Well, we're just going to have to hope for the best then."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOosBO4fOK7
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.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC3unN3Yxc
"Charlotte!"394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6gDlNyPOU
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.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKHJLairti
"Oh, hi Mr. Balaur."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYyVeSFJY5
"Ah, Charlotte. Hello. Do you know where Mrs. Filmore is?"
"Oh, she should be coming back from the printer soon."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck5sZZZhT0
"Okay." He sighs. "Hi, Nikki."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BndepqNUD
I close my eyes and hug Charlotte's things. "Hi."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15tqUToBYo
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.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHTpc0nPwh
"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."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGwi59HGkx
The bell rings and I try to stand up. I fall and he—he—helps me up.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR3FoZ96zU
I smile half-heartedly. "Thanks." I look at Charlotte, who is staring intensely at him. "Uh, Charlotte?"394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHFXx2ItUl
"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.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOF4MvYYpU
"Mom!" I rush up and hug her.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N4UrnXvJs
She puts me at arm's length and examines me. "Are you alright? Did anything happen? Are you feeling well? Is—"394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUlSygFcs8
"Mom, calm down. I'm fine, everything's fine."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPCq2HAgGG
"Okay. Alright. Well, you have an appointment today."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7kott29sV
"Okay. Can we please go ahead and get there? Please?"394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipEKRHHYH8
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Can we please just go?"394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCOY3eoQ8j
"Alright, fine. We'll go." She looks at the secretary and smiles. "Mm bye."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSu0oFmV7Z
"Bye." He looks at me. "Enjoy your doctor's appointment."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KSd3Wx739
"Yeah. Sure."394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOrwui4dl0
We leave.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFh4t7ga1y
