We got comfy in my bed. Coral notified her parents that she was staying at mine. My parents were still at work and God knows when they would get home. I'm telling you, they are serious workaholics!
"Okay so what was the real reason you decided to skive school huh?"
"Well you surely didn't waste any time did ya!" I laughed.
"No, now go."
I took a deep breath and told her everything, like me and Dylan kissing, me and Dylan having a moment, Rick and me etc. Coral stayed silent through the whole thing and just chewed away on some sweets.
"And that is why I am really confused and I think I have fallen for Dylan way to fast!" I mumbled.
"Jennifer,you do realise you broke the dare of with Dylan and now you have to be his slave?"
My jaw touched the ground and I starred at her in shock!
"No, no, no!! I cannot and I repeat CANNOT be his slave! Oh my God! What do I do? Please let him forget!"
Coral held me as I panicked!
"Ssh. Don't worry, we'll figure something out." She soothed.
"No, it's all a mess! I played dares with the devil and he's won! He's going to make me do horrible things for him and its going to be a flipping week! I can't do this Coral! I can't. I like him a lot but he's bipolar! One minute he's interested in me and the next he doesn't want to know me!"
"Look if he remembers and thats a big 'if' then you make his life hell! If he tells you do something then you do it slowly or just anything to piss him off."
"True. But why can't I just not be his slave? I mean it's not like it's written in stone?" It sounded more like a question because I seriously don't know how these teens go about stuff like this.
"If only it was that simple. It's not written in stone but the whole student body will make your life hell at school."
"I can live with that, I mean its not like theres long left of school for us."
"Jennifer I'm sorry but you can't get out of it. The last time someone didn't do what they were supposed to, the whole school made the poor girls life hell. It was that bad that she fled from here. And no one has heard from her ever since." By now Coral had put on some creepy voice, which was not helping!
I smothered my face in to a cushion and screamed in to it. When I was done I felt better.
"I-I don't know what to say. Either way my life is going to be hell."
"Don't worry, I'll be by your side and I'll even get Jack to try and get Dylan to tone it down. But we won't mention it unless Dylan does. Hopefully he'll have forgotten."
"Yeah, sure. Wishful thinking that is." I muttered under my breath. "Oh and what is going on between you and Jack? That day at school you were both jumpy and wary. Don't think it didn't go unnoticed."
"Erm yeah about that ha ha."
"Coral spill it already. I want the story from the start!"
"Fine." Her shoulders slumped in defeat. She took a deep breath and begun.
"At that party we went to me an Jack instantly clicked. It felt as if we'd known each other from the start. I felt so right with him that it scared me! I mean love is a big thing but then that was the only thing that made sense. We both felt the connection and didn't hold back. So we got talking, danced and then next thing you know, we were making out. He didn't force me in to anything and we moved on to things on my terms. He's perfect you know."
I could see the way her eyes glazed over that she was reminiscing about him.
"Anyway, we had sex."
"Say whaaaaat?" To say I was baffled would be an understatement.
"It just happened in the heat of the moment. He didn't mind that I was a virgin, in fact he was over the moon to be my first. Things got better and I knew he wasn't a player from the start so knew that he wouldn't mess about with my feelings. Then things went downhill. I realised we didn't use protection whenever we had sex. We were both really scared and decided that I should have a pregnancy test. So I did and it kept coming up as positive. Jennifer I was crapping myself! I mean I am way to young to be a mum and can you imagine how my parents would react! They would probably kick me out! We booked an appointment and the doctor told me that I'm not pregnant. We were both really relived. So the moral of the story is don't buy cheap pregnancy tests."
By them she had told me everything she looked relived. I was still stunned and couldn't form anything coherent to say. I racked my brain for something to say but it was dead. I think I'm in shock.
"Say something damn it!" Coral cried. She looked fearful.
I licked my dry lips and swallowed so my throat wouldn't hurt when I spoke.
"Fucking hell! Why didn't you tell me this straight away?"
Guilt consumed Corals face. "Because we weren't sure and we didn't want to worry any of you, so we decided we would keep it quiet until we were certain."
"Yeah but, you could of told me! I'm your best friend. I could of helped and supported you. I know you have Jack, but it's not like you've known him long!" I spat. I wasn't happy.
"Jen please don't be mad! It was a mutual decision. He didn't tell his best mates and I didn't tell mine until we knew!" Coral pleaded.
I took a deep breath. "Sorry I shouldn't be overreacting. You've been through a lot... I just wished you would of told me from the start."
"Honestly, I'm really sorry. It wont happen again. I promise." She hugged me in a big bear hug which I gave back.
"I'm hungry, let's order pizza." We both clambered downstairs and ordered. Thank God there was food, it broke the tension.
