An exasperated sigh escapes as I pace back and forth. My mind raced and my palms were sweating. The thumping of my heartbeat pounded in my ears. It's been almost five minutes of anxiously waiting for the results. What am I going to do!?

Finally, after gathering enough courage, I pick the test up off the bathroom sink. A pink plus sign glares back at me and I stood paralyzed. Shaking my head I chuck the test into the trash can beside the toilet. My head drops into my open hands as I sit down on my bed and cry. With every whimper I could taste my salty tears.

I can't believe I'm pregnant! I'm only seventeen I-I can't have a baby. Time seemed to slow down and the room was sinning. A plan cooked in my brain as I decided on my course of action. I'll act like theres nothing wrong and when the baby weight becomes noticeable, I'll say I'm visiting a cousin.

Now, I know what people would say right should tell Beck, he is the father after all, right?" Yeah, he is, but we're in high school and I doubt he wants a baby. Everyone's always babbling on and on about how all secrets come out sooner or later but that's only if you're an idiot. If you don't tell anyone, no one can sill your secrets, duh, its not that hard.

I'll sit close to the bathrooms just in case, Ill sneak out for lunch and come back, and I won't let Beck touch mt stomach. There's only one problem though, Tori. Knowing her, she'll butt in being little miss perfect and start to nose around in my business. I hate her so much and it's for that reason as well as a few others. Everyone likes Tori, shes so nice, so pretty, talented, and not pregnant like me.

The rest of the day flew by and before I knew it I was standing outside Hollywood Arts. Taking a deep breath I step inside. My gaze dances throughout the room only to not fins my friends or Tori. Slowly I strolled to my locker and shoved my black duffle bag inside. My skin tingles telling me someones standing beside me.

"Hi Jade!" it was Cat. Ca's about 5'1" with unnatural red hair framing her rounded face. I'll never admit it but shes my best friend.

"Hey Cat" I say. Trying to force my natural snark in the words.

"Are you alright, you're acting funny?"

Damn, even Cat noticed and if she can so will everyone else. "I'm fine, why?"I ask, laying dumb.

"Well..." she said, "when you said '"hey Cat"' it seemed sorta forced." Now no longer paying attention to me Cat twirls her hair around her fingers looking up at the ceiling. I bit my lip and close my locker door trapped by a thought what if I can't hide this?

I lie all the time, I could win a national lying contest if I wanted to but lying isn't working out so well for me right now. They can't know about me the the pregnancy. I glace around and see only Cat still."Hey Cat, where is everyone" I finally ask.

"Oh, they're all with Sikowitz talking about a party or something, they used to many big words!"

"Okay, I'll see you later" I say, walking inside to see my boyfriend Beck, Andre, Robbie and his puppet Rex, and Tori.

"Hey babe" it's Beck, I leaned down and give him a kiss on the lips and act as though nothing's wrong."So, what's everyone talking about?" I ask.

"My cousin Mia, " Tori chimes in, rising to her feet, waist length hair cascading downwards, "she's having a baby and I have to plan a shower."

As soon as I hear the word baby my face must have went deathly pale because everyone look concerned.

Jade, are you okay?"

"I-Im fine Beck" I lie, for the first time in a very long time. "Tori, if you want, I'll help you with the shower" i finish before fleeing the room. Footstep sounded behind me and I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Something wrong Jade?"

"No Beck, I say, turning around to look at him, "I'm feeling a bit under the weather today." Another lie.

"Okay feel better soon if you're going to help Tori and her cousin."

I will" and with a final kiss he's gone. "What have I done, now I get to see my future..."
