WHEN THEY FIRST MET

Catherine was in middle school and she went to Las Vegas Middle School. She was the most popular girl there and all the guys wanted to date her, but she was a picky one. One Monday she was sitting in class when the guidance councilor came in.

Guidance councilor: Mrs. Carol you have a new student and his name is Gilbert Grissom.

Mrs. Carol: Well thank you. So Gilbert do you go by any thing else

Gilbert: Yes I go by Gil

Mrs. Carol: Well Gil there is an empty seat next to Catherine if you would like to sit by her. Catherine can you raise your hand so he can see who you are.

Catherine raised her hand and Gil walked over. Catherine thought it will be another guy who thinks of her as easy access, but when she saw him she knew he was different that she might go out with him and he wouldn't take advantage of her like Eddie did. Catherine was still thinking and she was saying what guy would want to date me now I'm two weeks pregnant though no one knew.

Gil: Hi I'm Gil

Catherine was brought from her thoughts

Catherine: Hi I'm Catherine Flynn. So where are you from she said while the teacher was taking attendance.

Gil: I'm from Arizona Phoenix to be exact

Catherine: OH thats really cool

Gil: So have you lived here your whole life

Catherine: Yea but I get to go in all the Casinos and gabble

Gil: How

Catherine: Um....the owner came up to me one day when I was walking home and said if you eve want to come and gabble or get a job that you cant get cause your under age just come talk to me and I will get you in or the job. So I go in there some days when I don't feel like being at home.

Gil: Thats really cool

Catherine: Yea I guess. So what do you like to do or what interest you the most and please don't lie I get that enough

Gil: I would never lie to a women especially one as pretty as you are. I like to watch bugs and study them. I also love science

Catherine: I have never told anyone this before but I LOVE bugs and Science too but everyone thinks I'm just the pretty girl with easy access

Gil: I can't see you as a person like that I see you as a normal kid.

Catherine: Thanks no one has ever said that to me before

Mrs. Carol: Catherine would you like to show Gil he's classes through out the day

Catherine: Of course

the whole class in shock cause she never helped a student with classes without fussing about it.

Mrs. Carol: Thank you Catherine

Catherine: Anytime

Mrs. Carol went on with her lesson while Catherine and Gil passed notes. The bell rang and Catherine was taking Gil to his next class but she then realized they had every class together. She was so excited but she was also worried that he would judge her when she told him about her pregnancy. She hasn't told anyone cause of that fear. She was also afraid that her mom would be disappointed in her even more. The rest of the day went on and the two got real friendly. Catherine didn't eat lunch with her normal friends and she didn't walk to class with them either. Then Catherine was thinking well I better tell him now since he knows the other things about how I'm nice and sweet but he needs to know about this. She has to tell someone it's been driving her insane since she found out.

Catherine: Hey Gil I have to tell you this and you may judge me for it but since you seem to know me better then my usual friends in just one day I think I can trust you with this information. I have told no one what I about to tell you. I'm pregnant she whispers

Gil: I'm not going to judge you. It was a mistake and I'm sure you didn't mean for it to happen

Catherine: Yea I thought my now ex-boyfriend was the one but he just wanted to get into my pants

Gil: Well are you going to tell your parents

Catherine: Well I don't know who my father is but I am telling my mom when she picks me up after school but before I tell her I want you to meet her so she can be less disappointed in me.

Gil: Well yea I mean we just met but sure I'll meet your mom she can't be that bad and if you don't mind me asking why is she disappointed in you

Catherine: I don't mind. Your the only person to ask that. Well she doesn't like the way I dress and act but I do great in school but that's not enough for her. She thinks that I am going to go and be a prostitute but I would never do that. She also hates all my friends who aren't even my friends I just act like they are but thats one of the down parts about being popular.

Gil: Well you have a friend here for you always and I will never let you down.

Catherine Thanks I haven't ever had a real friend. Oh we better be heading to class

They got up but when they got up Catherine's usual group gets up and they run up to her and grab her and turn her around real hard. When they turned her around they hit her in the face she didn't have a chance to hit back because one of the administration came and got all of them. The one who stopped it before it got worse heard Catherine tell Gil her secret so when she was down suspending them she called Cath down and talked to her and she also asked for Gil. They walked down to the discipline office. Catherine was known by everyone so when she walked in the secretary said hey Cath what are you down here for.

Catherine Oh some kids where hitting me and then I was called down by Mrs. Lorrie

Secretary: Oh well who's you friend

Catherine: This is our new student Gilbert Grissom but he goes by Gil

Secretary: Well welcome to our school

Gil: Thank you ma'am

Mrs: Lorrie Catherine and Gilbert can who come into my office

Both of them said yes and walked in. The got in and sat down in one of the chairs in front of her desk.

Mrs. Lorrie: So Catherine why did your friends hit you

Catherine: Um....i think it is cause I have been ignoring them all day and for the record I don't think of them as friends just people to be around

Mrs. Lorrie: OK well why have you been ignoring them.

Catherine: Because I have been talking to him and showing him the classes cause we have the same schedule.

Mrs. Lorrie: Gil is this true

Gil: Yes ma'am

Mrs. Lorrie: Well they are suspended and I also over heard what you told Mr. Grissom over there Catherine would you like to tell me

Catherine: Alright fine I am two weeks pregnant and no one in the school I could trust but something about him I just know I can trust him.

Mrs. Lorrie: Alright well you need to tell all you teachers in private so I am going to set a student team meeting in about one hour for you.

Catherine: OK

Ms. Lorrie: You can go back to class now

Catherine and Gil left and when they got outside

Gil asked Catherine is it to early to ask you out

Catherine: No

Gil: Will you go out with me Catherine

Catherine: Yes

they walked to class hand and hand until a teacher stopped them and said No holding hands. Then the teacher saw it was Catherine and they said never mind go ahead.

Catherine: LOOK I AM SO SICK OF YOU TEACHES TREATING ME DIFFERENT THEN EVEYONE ELSE IT GETS OLD I JUST WANT TO BE A NORMAL KID. BUT I GUESS I NEVER WILL BE

Mr. Norris: Catherine clam down I'm sorry I didn't know thats what you wanted

Catherine: WELL NOW YOU DO BUT SEE I NEVER WILL BE NORMAL CAUSE THE TEACHERS NOW WHO MY FATHER IS AND I DON'T AND YOU GUYS WONT TELL ME

Mr. Norris: Catherine calm down just go to class

Catherine and Gil walk to class and Gil who was a little taller then her stopped her and pulled her to the wall.

Gil: Cath it's OK I'm here and I think you are perfectly normal.

Catherine was crying before he stopped and she buried her face into his chest and just cried. No one has ever seen Cath cry before non of her ex-boyfriends just her mother and that's it. He sat her down and he was right next to her and they sat there and he held her and swayed back and forth trying to clam her down. When the bell rang she grabbed him and took him into the girls bathroom and they hid in a stall until the last bell rang. After the last bell she tried to stop crying but couldn't so they stayed in hiding until she had to meet with the teachers. Cath pointed out wee his next class will be and she went to her meeting. He kissed her forehead and said I will be waiting for you. He went to class and she was still red in the face and blood shot eyes but her eye color was more noticeable. She walked into the classroom where they would talk in private. When they saw her they were shocked and they came over and tried to touch her but she said don't touch me please. They all went to a desk and sat down.

Catherine cleared her throat and started to speak.

Catherine: Um....OK look I haven't told anyone but well two people now and one set this meeting up so I could tell you.

Mrs. Hooker: Well what is it?

Catherine looked at all the teacher's faces and then at her desk

Catherine: I am two weeks pregnant and I had to tell you so you all knew to watch for any signs of contractions and to make sure no one hits me.

Mr. Love: Well who is the dad

Catherine: My ex-boyfriend Eddie I thought he was the one but found out he just wanted to get in my pants. So I guess all the guys are right I am just easy access

She started to tear up and all the women teachers came over trying to comfort her but she just wanted to be with Gil.

Catherine: I have a boyfriend now and he knows but he's not judging me and we just met today. It's the new kid. Something about him is different so please just don't judge me I am sick of it. I am also sick of you guys not telling me who my father is.

All the teachers look at each other

Mrs. Carol: Catherine your father is Sam Braun and we didn't tell you cause your mother told us not to

Catherine: Well me and my mom are not on the same boat right now and we definitely wont be after this afternoon. Can I go to class now

All the teachers: Yes oh Catherine we promise we will watch you

Catherine: Thank you

Cath walks out of the classroom to the bathroom to clean her face off and when she got in there she was happy that she was having a kid. She walked out with a smile on her face and went to class to sit next to Gil like in every class. When she sat down everyone watched me and was in amazement that I sat there willingly. It was an elective class now and she didn't really care for it but she was happy to be with he bugman. She wrote him a note and passed it to him. It said Gil I have a nickname for you and it is bugman what do you think. He wrote back saying I have one for you too and it is butterfly I love mine what do you think of yours. She wrote I LOVE IT. School ended and Catherine walked out with Gil so he could meet her mom. Her mom saw her walking hand and hand with him and was thinking what am I going to do with her she is always with a new guy.

Catherine: Hey mom this is my new boyfriends Gil. He has the same interest as me and he is really sweet and he was wondering if I could go over to his house for dinner.

Lily: Yes you can but you need to come home first

Catherine: OK. Well i'll see you later

Gil: I love you

Catherine: I love you too

Catherine got into her mom's car and Gil waits till his mom got there. Even they are only 14. His mom gets there and he gets in and says mom my girlfriend is coming over is that OK.

Naomi: Yes she signed since she was deaf

Gil: Thank you mom we said

His mom can read lips so it will be fine that Catherine doesn't know how to sign but he will translate for her. At the Flynn residents Cath was sitting her mom down to tell her the news

Catherine: Alright mom now I am a little nervous but here it comes I'm Pregnant she said hesitantly

Her mom sat there in a shock and then she came back to reality

Lily: Catherine I'm happy for you but why would you do that

Catherine: Well I thought Eddie was the one but he just wanted to get in my pants we used a condom but it broke and he wouldnt get off so when I thew him off I broke up with him and thew him out of the house. I'm sorry mom I didn't mean so

Lily: Does Gil know

Catherine: Yes and he said he doesn't care he loves me for me and doesn't care about my mistakes. He is going to help me with the baby.

Lily: OK but I will help as much as I can

Catherine: Thank you mommy

She gets up and hugs her, then she runs to her room to get changed and do her make up.
