Six months later …507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLrBInFxH5
"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."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2WcA9W9Oa
She groans.507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTKi72ynHC
"My gosh. You act like you're the father instead of Dracula."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMztHIJB6zC
"I want to be the child's godmother. Please?"507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oMkcb87qX
"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?"507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqz0DNXbuj
"Yes, Nikki."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOXjbk4vs2
"Good."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WHi7sl7Na
We get to school and go to our lockers. While we're getting our things, Charlotte says,507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGekG8tw0nk
"Oh, hey. I've been meaning to tell you something."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtIEpqwnrp
"What?"507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbNra3J9YH
"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."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxsBTXDGRO
"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—"507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP0GkX9mQ6
"Shh! Be quiet!" She sighs. "Oh, and his name is Mr. Balaur."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UrIx01oTw
"Mr. who?"507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98ZFaZBykj
"Mr. Balaur."
"Oh, God. Do you realize who that is?"507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QpUXomMEj
"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?"507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuB3UyS3a6
I nod slowly and sigh. "Yes."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ahM1C7rsK
"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."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6txsszz5fj
"But what if he tells me to stay behind after class? Or if he has outside duty during free time?"507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnwsPRLUCi
"Well, we're just going to have to hope for the best then."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUticcecLVQ
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.507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVFD6RUQKa
"Charlotte!"507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEYDEBdQK6
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.507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUarqer03Uc
"Oh, hi Mr. Balaur."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU19V45wrB
"Ah, Charlotte. Hello. Do you know where Mrs. Filmore is?"
"Oh, she should be coming back from the printer soon."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxwkkIf9H8
"Okay." He sighs. "Hi, Nikki."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEKV9wpP08
I close my eyes and hug Charlotte's things. "Hi."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQqVVtvVsz
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.507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhyDz6B2UT
"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."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj1nFPuVlk
The bell rings and I try to stand up. I fall and he—he—helps me up.507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8tfrWnFC0
I smile half-heartedly. "Thanks." I look at Charlotte, who is staring intensely at him. "Uh, Charlotte?"507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6aPxDqxxM
"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.507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz0BgjgNtA
"Mom!" I rush up and hug her.507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodF9jeI4V0
She puts me at arm's length and examines me. "Are you alright? Did anything happen? Are you feeling well? Is—"507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GSe0F0FYr
"Mom, calm down. I'm fine, everything's fine."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI7gieDwTf
"Okay. Alright. Well, you have an appointment today."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGrR4VAcfv
"Okay. Can we please go ahead and get there? Please?"507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19SybIXdid
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Can we please just go?"507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOuyDbAutC
"Alright, fine. We'll go." She looks at the secretary and smiles. "Mm bye."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN7vtxZoj2
"Bye." He looks at me. "Enjoy your doctor's appointment."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSD8qtZSTj
"Yeah. Sure."507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU2JXQZaSD
We leave.507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZGKp2DxUD
