Six months later …397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9l4vTtp3M
"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."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6T8L7yu7o
She groans.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J3Rn3Cwf8
"My gosh. You act like you're the father instead of Dracula."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ3LxxV1cL
"I want to be the child's godmother. Please?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIMk43b60S
"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?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBeGQpbwyy
"Yes, Nikki."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG55jB89RuW
"Good."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGsDnPXLQX
We get to school and go to our lockers. While we're getting our things, Charlotte says,397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgeLiPNkas
"Oh, hey. I've been meaning to tell you something."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeEhjft4UD
"What?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ9Ff1ScfK
"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."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O39sECqGU
"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—"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO65LpOHY3
"Shh! Be quiet!" She sighs. "Oh, and his name is Mr. Balaur."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsshURLNQYA
"Mr. who?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LBGsm1FBQ
"Mr. Balaur."
"Oh, God. Do you realize who that is?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTouK0KeQRG
"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?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A9j5RhJw1
I nod slowly and sigh. "Yes."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MDqB8r1P2
"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."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNQEsYWOIm
"But what if he tells me to stay behind after class? Or if he has outside duty during free time?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWJF17xSfI
"Well, we're just going to have to hope for the best then."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIaRnCG99p
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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgD0GYb9X1
"Charlotte!"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8xwI1PThS
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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7IB0wXCSj
"Oh, hi Mr. Balaur."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA0vfGfXLq
"Ah, Charlotte. Hello. Do you know where Mrs. Filmore is?"
"Oh, she should be coming back from the printer soon."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJSp1XFxyD
"Okay." He sighs. "Hi, Nikki."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM40tNi5oKu
I close my eyes and hug Charlotte's things. "Hi."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mWyh8FkR0
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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiR8r408O5
"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."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMymNvk2v9m
The bell rings and I try to stand up. I fall and he—he—helps me up.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFePh74f2bt
I smile half-heartedly. "Thanks." I look at Charlotte, who is staring intensely at him. "Uh, Charlotte?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbGxGnTNkz
"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.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXowWxLkxC3
"Mom!" I rush up and hug her.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqf4wWn1Zu
She puts me at arm's length and examines me. "Are you alright? Did anything happen? Are you feeling well? Is—"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VgzkNL4SG
"Mom, calm down. I'm fine, everything's fine."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBANTWqxtK
"Okay. Alright. Well, you have an appointment today."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFoka2L1Ip
"Okay. Can we please go ahead and get there? Please?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDEpYtIxiC
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Can we please just go?"397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWN622vM0v
"Alright, fine. We'll go." She looks at the secretary and smiles. "Mm bye."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRP8Arqstp
"Bye." He looks at me. "Enjoy your doctor's appointment."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IymA0lIUA
"Yeah. Sure."397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovxiMoBbbb
We leave.397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVa4JMQrjY
