Our Little Secret

Chapter 6

I'm rewriting this whole story. The new version is on my page.

Lauren!" Camila called.

"Hey," I said once I approached her. I gave her a side hug and kissed her cheek. "How are you and the munchkin?" I asked.

"We're fine," She told me.

"I want to tell my mom," I blurted out.

"W-what?" Camila asked.

"I want to tell my mom," I said again.

"Okay, how do you think she'll react?"

"Honestly, I don't know," I told her.

"Hopefully she takes the news good," She said.

"Yeah,"

-----------------------------

"Mom, can Camila and I talk to you?"

"Yeah, what's up?"

"Uhm, Camila is pregnant with my child,"

My mom looked at me with wide eyes. "You are only 16 and 17. You're way too young, you should consider adoption," Mom said.

I looked over at Camila and she shook her head.

"I'm keeping it," Camila said.

"Yeah," I agreed.

My mom sighed. "You guys can stay until you find a place,"

"Thank you!" I said as I hugged her.

"That means a job, Camila, you're not working, Lauren will," She said.

"I'll do it."

"That wasn't a choice, you're doing it," My mom told me.

"I'll start looking now," I said as I got up.

I grabbed Camz's hand and dragged her upstairs.

"Help," She nodded, so we went upstairs.

I got my laptop out and looked for a job.

------------

A few hours later Camila said, "Look, they're paying 10.50 an hour for starters,"

"Cool, I can go after school tomorrow and get an application," I shut my laptop and lied down. "We still have to do our homework,"

"Ugh, we can wake up early and do it tomorrow," Camila said and snuggled her head in my neck.

"Okay," We fell asleep.

______________

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

"What time is it?" Camila asked.

I turned over "4:30,"

"Too early," She said and closed her eyes.

"No, we have to do our homework," She groaned

"Please, do mine,"

"Why can't you do yours?" I asked.

"I'm carrying your child, so you can do the homework," She said.

"Fine," I got up and grabbed our homework.

"I'm done, wake up," I said as I shook her.

"No,"

"Are you feeling okay?" I asked.

She shook her head 'no'.

"My mom has to work and I have to go to school," I said sadly.

"Just go," She sounded like her throat hurt.

"You sure?" I asked.

"Yeah,"

"Okay, i'll call every hour," I kissed her head and got ready. Once I was ready, I went to my room. "Bye," I said and tried to kiss her.

"No, I'm sick," She said and turned her head.

"I don't care," I said and grabbed her chin. "Kiss me."

She pecked my lips and I smiled. "I love you,"

"I love you too,"

I walked out the door and to my car, I started it and drove off.

I pulled up to the school and parked my car, I got out and walked to the girls.

"Wheres Camila?" Dinah asked.

"Sore throat," I told her.

"Oh,"

"I'm gonna get my stuff from my locker," I said.

Ashley came up to me and pushed me into the lockers and kissed me.

"Stop," I said and pushed her away.

"Camila's not here, she don't have to know," She said.

"Still, I don't cheat," I said and opened my locker. I grabbed my books and walked away.

After first hour, I called Camila.

"Hey, you woke me up," Camila said when she answered.

"Sorry, I have to tell you something," I was going to be honest with her.

"What happened?" She asked.

"Ashley kissed me,"

"Did you kiss back?"

"Of course not, I just want to be honest with you, you deserve to know," I told her.

"Okay, i'm craving french fries."

"I'll bring you some," I said.

"You'll late for class."

"And you're hungry, I'm gonna bring you fries,"

"Okay, i'll see you soon," I walked to my car and drove to Mcdonalds, I ordered the fries and drove to my house.

I walked up the stairs and into my room.

"Baaaabe," I said when I saw her sleeping.

"Food," She said and sat up.

"Well, hello Lauren," I said jokingly.

"Hi Lauren," She said.

"Here I got you two large fries," I said and handed her the bag.

"You're so sweet," She grabbed it and dug in right away.

"I have to go back to school," I told her.

She pouted "Okay,"

"I'll call," I said and kissed her forehead.

I went back to school and walked in late.

"You have a pass?" Mr. Friend asked.

"No," I said.

"Oh, okay, ill let it pass this time," I nodded and headed for my seat.

He got on with his lesson and before I knew it, I was calling her.

"Come home," Camila whined.

"No,"

"Pleeease," She begged.

"Noooo,"

"Yeeeeeeessss,"

"Noooo, I have school,"

"Ugh, fine,"

"The bell is about to ring, I have to go," I told her.

"Okay, love you,"

I hung up and went to class.
