Today was the day, the day I think I was ready to go to school. After moping around my room for three days, I couldn't bare it any longer. I don't think there was a movie left I hadn't watched.

I cleaned my room did my hair in more styles than I could count, read more than a dozen books, there was nothing else to do but face the world. I didn't die of hunger thanks to Leo, but it was time.

I curled my hair, allowing it to cascade down my back. I wish there was a style I could use to hide my face. I pulled on my grey sweat bottom and white crop top with a cute grey puppy on the front, written below it 'Stay Paw- Sitive'.

When I got to the kitchen dad had already left for work.

Christina was more than excited to see me come out.

"I'm happy you decided to come out, what do you want for breakfast?" She asked grinning from ear to ear.

"Bacon would be nice" I smiled at her.

"Are you ok now?" Ari asked.

"Yes, I'm great" I told her playing with her cheeks.

I could see Capree rolling her eyes.

"Do you have a problem bitch?!?" I spat at her.

"Hey, hey no name calling" Christina chipped in.

"I have to go there's way too much negativity for me to handle" She grabbed her bag and left.

"Where's Leo?"

"Oh, remember he's leaving this weekend, he went to get some stuff from the mall.

I totally forgot Leo didn't live here and at some point I would have to say goodbye to him.

I had my breakfast and left for school.

_

This is what I was afraid of, at school everyone was staring.

I felt an arm tug me into a classroom.

"We want details and right now. "It was Meghan and Haley.

"About what??"

They both crossed there arm.

"You mean I had to hear that our friend was pregnant and had an abortion from some random kid at school, do you know how I felt the whole weekend, I almost left my family in Ohio to come see you." Haley said.

"How could you not have told us Gem?"

I could sense the disappointment in there voices.

"If you had told us u could have defended you at the party" Meg replied.

"No one knew ok," I defended.

"So who was the father?" Haley asked.

" I rather not say" I looked away from them.

"Are we gonna do this again?" Haley rolled her eyes.

"I'm just not ready to tell you guys, just please, I'm begging you it happened and it's done"

They both sighed.

"Fine but don't think I will forget" Haley said.

They both hugged me and we went to our class.

The morning went by like normal.

But I hadn't seen Blake.

The states didn’t go away every class I had, every time I stepped into the hallways, everyone was looking at me.

I know what they’re all gossiping about, probably wondering who is the father but the least they could do was be discreet.

It was at lunch Blake waltz into the cafeteria.

"Hey babe" he tried touching me but I wouldn't allow it. I shifted in my seat as he sat down.

"Where have you been for the fast five days Blake?" I asked through gritted teeth, trying to keep our little argument low.

"I've been busy Gemini"

The way he called my name didn't sound like the usual. It was reeked with hatred and something else I couldn't quite tell.

"You've been busy? You live next door, I see you everyday, but do you even care to come check up on me? A simple text message would have sufficed"

He was quiet.

"Do you know what I'm going through at my house, just your voice would have made things better"

I got up about to leave.

"Gemini sit!"

"Over my unbreathing body, I don’t think I want to be with someone who is so self centered ," and I left the cafeteria.

I was on my way to the bathroom.

"Look, if it isn't baby momma" Jewel teased, she could be a bitch sometimes but our paths never crossed so I had no reason to speak to her.

My blood was already boiling from the altocation I had with Blake and she wasn't helping.

The next thing I knew I was on top of her giving her some really hard hits. I plucked her hair slamming her head against the floor. Not long after the hallway was filled with kids.

"Ms. Wilson, we've never had a situation like this with you before."

My principal Ms. Higgins said.

"Now you left a student unconscious, how did this happen?"

"As if you don't know, everyone in school knows" I rolled my eyes at her.

The room was silent for a bit.

I just wanted to go home, coming back to school was a bad idea but it’s not like I had much of a choice.

"Well Ms. Wilson you're almost on summer break so there is no point in suspending you, so you'll do community service every day after school until school is out" She said writing on a paper.

"Where?" I asked.

"The community center " She said handing me the slip of paper.

"Great" I muttered.

"Your father will be here to pick you up soon"

Great the perfect person to to come get me after getting in a fight at school.

I waited outside for my father. I saw his car pulled up in the school.

"Get in" was all he said.

The ride home was silent. It was killing me, I needed him to say something, yell scream, something.

When we got home he sat in the car, none of us moved.

"Gemini, what is wrong with you?" He asked, not looking at me.

"Dad, I'm really sorry, none of this was supposed to happen "

"You know that trip to Australia is cancelled right? " he looked at me.

"Yeah I know" I was tugging the hem of blouse.

I flinched, my hand catching a bruise on my belly. That bitch.

"Gem you need to get yourself together, and why didn't you tell me about the pregnancy? "

"Mom was alive and we didn't talk much" I said.

"Fine get inside I have to head back to work" he kissed my forehead and I got out of the car.
