Chapter 3 - Boys and Bows
It had been awhile since the argument with Vanessa at dinner. For a couple of days we avoided each other, only speaking when it was necessary. But it eventually got better and we both started to forget about the whole thing. School was going well, and my grades were pretty good. And James even got a promotion, which we were all very thankful for. Now I am about 3 months along, and definitely feeling it. Im gaining weight like crazy and Ciera has got me on this no junk food diet. I personally think its crazy that my younger sister is regulating what food I eat, but who am I to argue. Everyone seems to be regulating everything in my life anyways.
Today was a particulary hot day. I sat out on the "patio", (a large slab of cracked wood panels), and thought about school. Well I was trying to think about school, but this very annoying hunger pain in my stomach kept bringing up thoughts of pizza and milkshakes. I could so go for a nice chocolate milkshake right now. I tried to focus on school as hard as I could. Other kids were noticing my stomach and I got frequent questions. Of course I told them the truth, why would I lie? But a lot of the kids, who come from rich families with high morals or whatever, thought that I was just another screw up. But whatever, you know? I don't want it to get to me, even though it does. I will just try and make the best of it.
So as I am thinking about rich kids and milkshakes, Vanessa comes storming out of the house in her pajamas and bare feet. I stood up to see what her deal was.
"Isela, do you want to know who just called me??" She said in an annoyed tone.
"Do I have a choice?" I asked, hoping to make her less tense. It didn't work.
"No. Your principle called me just now. John Featherbucket or something."
"Ferbuton, Vanessa, it's French."
"Whatever! Know what he said? He told me that he thinks you might be a bad influence to the other students and that we need to have a meeting about whether or not you should be allowed to continue going there."
"What!? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard! You don't think that too do you? After all you were 2 years younger than me with Alyssa."
"Yes but I dropped out of school and lived on my own. Also, at least 5 other people at work have made some kind of comment about you. Do you realize how the this is affecting me??"
"You!? You are just trying to make this hard on me aren't you? What happened to the sweet, carefree Vanessa that invited me to live here?
"She got a job and learned about responsibilty, that's what happened to her. And now you think you can just disrupt peoples lives without any sort of consequence. Besides, the state probably won't let you stay here anyways."
"Why not! It's not like this is an unstable enviroment."
"Because they just won't! Look, I have to go bathe Helica. Start thinking about other options besides staying here okay."
"Whatever," I felt my face grow hot as she walked back towards the house, "I hate the responsible Vanessa!! She should go away!" I yelled after her. At first, I felt like I wanted to go and break every window in the house. I was so mad! I put my hands over my face and tried to take deep breaths. I couldn't believe this. Other options? I have no other options! I didn't even want to think about it anymore. As I went to pick up my phone, I noticed I was almost late for my doctors appointment. Today was the day I found out the gender, at least there is one good thing about today.
Waiting in the doctors office is extremely boring. I swear I flipped through every magazine at least twice. By the time they called my name, I was half asleep. A kind looking nurse took me back to a cheerful looking office area where I was weighed and measured. Then they tested my blood pressure with that cool inflatable thing. I so want one of those things. After that, she led me to a small, mostly empty room where I changed into this pajama-like outfit. It took a long time for the doctor to arrive, no surprise there. Once she came, we talked about how my pregnancy was going. She asked questions and I gave answers. It was pretty routine. Then came the amazing part. She put this blue jelly stuff on my stomach and then when I looked at the projector screen I could see the baby. It was so cool!
"Well there you go." The doctor said as she flipped off the projector.
"Wow, thanks." I said with a big smile.
"Would you like to know the gender?"
"Oh yes! That would be great!" I watched as she went through some paperwork in my file. I didn't know what I wanted it to be actually. I didn't really care too much.
"Ah, here we go," She pulled out a yellowish sheet of paper, "Congratulations it's a girl!" My heart pretty much just melted right then. Pictures of little pink bows and dresses went through my head.
"Really? Wow that's great!" The doctor smiled and then left so I could change. It took me awhile cuz I kept getting distracted with the little models of hearts and brains on the counter. What can I say, I can be odd. As I walked out through the waiting room I had a bounce in my step. I knew, somewhere deep in my heart, that it was all good.
I walked out in to the beautiful sunlight, and right into a guy. I stumbled and the caught myself on the door handle. As soon as I realized what just happened, I turned around to see if he was okay. He was just standing there looking at me. Oh my goodness was he cute! He had a great body from what I could tell. He was taller than me, and his eyes were like melted chocolate. I stared at him for a minute, and then he finally said something.
"Are you okay?" His voice was very deep, like one of a villain in a horror movie. It was kinda hot.
"Oh, yeah. Sorry about that, I must not have been looking." I said quietly.
"It's okay. Im Luke." He said, sticking out his hand. I returned the gesture quickly. His hands were strong.
"I'm, ummmm, Isela."
"Isela huh. Nice name," I noticed he was looking at my stomach now, "Are you sure your okay? Or the little one?" I blushed at this.
"Oh yeah, I'm sure she is fine. I didn't fall or anything."
"She? That's pretty cute. How old are you?" He sure had a lot of questions.
"I'm 17. Young I know, but still."
"Eh it's old enough," He said with a little smile, "I'm 20. I just moved here from California. I live over in the Blue Koi apartments. It's a pretty nice place actually."
"Are you kidding, I would love to live there! I heard it has a pool, which is like so cool because all I have is my nieces little inflatable pool." I laughed.
"Well those can be fun too." He laughed back. "You know, it would be cool if you came over sometime. We could swim in the pool."
"Wow, that would be, um, sweet!" He got out a really nice phone from his pocket. "Whats your number? Ill put it in my phone and call you sometime."
I gave him my number and then we exchanged goodbyes. I made my way home, my thoughts filled with him and his wonderful pool.
