Chapter 17, Alexis

*sorry, it's a shortie. couldn't really think ofd anything. enjoy =)*

"'Sup, slut?"


I turn from my locker and see Kelsey Smith standing there, smiling. "Excuse me?"

"You heard me. I know you're pregnant. You did it with Justin and now you're having his baby. That makes you a slut."

"No it doesn't. It makes me a stupid 16 year old girl who made a mistake."

"Yeah, whatever."

"This isn't even any of your business. How did you find out, anyway?"

"I have my ways." She puts her hands on her hips. "Enjoy being a single teen mom."

"What's that supposed to mean? Justin's staying with me every step of the way."

"Yeah, you wish he was. He may have said that, but that won't be happening. He doesn't want to be a dad. He wants to be a teenager. He can't be a teenager with you. He needs to be with me. And he will be with me."

"I don't think so. Justin loves me, and I love him. We're in this together, like it or not."

"Whatever. Justin will be mine." She glances at her designer watch. "I gotta go get a latte. See ya!"

"See ya," I say. The second she's out of earshot, I add, "skank." I can't believe her. She thinks she can just steal my boyfriend away from me, just because I'm preganant. Wait a minute, I think. I'm not pregnant. So I have nothing to worry about, right?

I turn back to my locker and take my stuff out. I just want to go home. I'm so glad it's the end of the day. I wanna go home and take a nap.

"Alexis!"

Someone else?! Really?! I don't want to talk to anyone right now! I just want to go home! I spin around. "What?!"

Alyssa jumps a little. "Jeez! I just wanted to talk to you!"

I sigh. "Sorry. I'm just really tired and so over everything right now."

"When were you gonna tell me?"

"Tell you what?"

"That you're pregnant!"

"Oh my god."

"Yeah!"

"Alyssa, I'm not pregnant."

"You're not?"

"No. I just told Justin that. I don't know why. I know for sure that I'm not. I just said it."

"YOU IDIOT!" People turn and stare at us. She looks at everyone that's staring. "NOTHING TO SEE HERE! GO ABOUT YOUR DAILY LIVES!" she shouts at them. They all turn away.

"I know, I'm stupid. I'm just gonna tell him that it was a false alarm."

"Whatever. Well, people know."

"How?!"

"Kelsey found out, and she's telling people."

"Oh god."

"She can be a real bitch, right? Ugh, I hate her."

"Me too."

"Well, I gotta head home. I have piano at four. Bye!" She leaves.

I finish putting my stuff in my backpack, and close my locker. I'm just walking away when a girl stops me. I think her name's Sarah.

"Hey, you're dating Justin Bieber, right?" she asks.

"Uhm, yeah. Why?"

"Well, Kelsey Smith is flirting with him. I'd keep an eye on your man if I were you."

"Okay, thanks." I walk away. I don't think I need to worry. Justin would never cheat on me. He's my boyfriend. I'm thinking of calling Justin to see if he wants to go to Dairy Queen, when I hear something that sounds kind of like a locker slamming, but not quite. I turn and see Kelsey and Justin, leaning against the lockers, kissing.

I turn and hurry away, tears blinding my vision as I run home.
