It Started With A Crush

Chapter 1

     "Hurry up" My mom yells, "you'll miss the bus!" I quickly finish eating breakfast, then

grab my bag, and run out the door. As I wait for the bus my mind thinks over my secret. That

George, who is absolutely the cutest boy in my school (I've had a crush on him for almost 4

years) had told me that if I came to his house after school and had sex with him he would be my

boyfriend! So that's what I did. It's been a week since then, and he's been the perfect boyfriend.

I am pulled out of my thoughts by a sudden urge to puke. I ran inside to the bathroom where I

just barely made it to the toilet. My mom came rushing in, when she saw what was happening

she called my school to say I wasn't coming and the doctor to say I was. When we got there the

doctor asked me questions about my puke, then to my mom's and my surprise she said I wasn't

sick! Then she proceeded to ask me about my period and if I'd had sex recently and made me

pee in a cup. When I gave it back to her she stuck a stick in it (eww). After a few minutes she

picked up the stick an told me that I'm pregnant!? Then she told my mom to make me a prenatal

appointment as soon as possible (she would have done it then, but she squeezed me in between

two other people so she didn't have time). My mom yelled at me all the way home (what was I

thinking, why didn't I tell her, how could I do this to her). I was still speechlessly trying to process

what the doctor had said. My school had a pregnancy program, so at least I won't have to

change schools! I will have to drop out of ballet thought (Because I won't have time for it, and I

can't dance ballet while being pregnant).

I've gotten into a kind of routine now, Wake up, Throw up, Get dressed, Take my vitamins,

Eat whatever will stay in my stomach, Catch the school bus, After school I come home, Eat

anything my stomach will keep, Take a nap, Do homework, Eat supper, Go to sleep, repeat.

I felt a kick for the first time today! It felt sort of like my appendix bumping against my

stomach. (I know you think I'm crazy for putting it that way!) People are starting to notice that

I'm pregnant, but they're not teasing me about it though (since my school has a pregnancy

program it's normal to see pregnant girls). When I was at HFPT( Hope For Pregnant/Parenting

Teens)(that's my school's pregnancy program). I met a girl named Laura. She is 6 months

pregnant and I'm 5, so her babies will only be 1 month older than mine! She is having triplets

two boys and a girl. I can't imagine having triplets! I met another girl named Selena, she's 8

months pregnant with quadruplet girls and HUGE!! Her mom kicked her out of her house, so

she's staying with her aunt. I'm glad I won't get as big as her! One weird thing that happened at

the first class was that we compared belly-sizes with the person coldest to our due dates. Laura

was the closest to mine, the weird thing is that my belly was a little bigger than hers even though

she's one month more pregnant than me, and she's having triplets. I also met a girl named

Rosalie, she is 3 months pregnant with twin girls and she also has 4-month-old twin girls.

Poor thing, she has to take care of 2 babies and deal with pregnancy. She was sexually

abused/raped by her dad, so she lives with her grandma (her mom died when she was three).

Her grandma is old , so she isn't much help with the babies. I decided to try to convince my mom

to let her stay with us once my baby is born. I've been brainstorming baby names and came up

with Alia, Alissa, Malia, or Melissa for a girl and James, Joseph, John, or Joey for a boy. I have 4

for each gender so that I have some choices when he/she is born!
