The whole 'not falling for Nathaniel King' isn't working the way I hoped it would. He's completely selling the boyfriend thing. To my father and the entire school.

He takes me out on dates and comes to my appointments with me.

If I were to say anything, I would say that he was falling for me.

Even though we have only been 'together' for just over two months.

"Hey, Celia. Why do you seem so distracted?"

I look at Lilianna.

"I'm just thinking about the baby."

"So are you going to keep it?"

"I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep the baby."

"If you do, I want to be the godmother!"

I can't help but smile. Hands rest on my shoulder.

"Hey, babe."

Did I mention he also insists on calling me babe?

"Hey."

He plants a quick kiss on my head.

"Just wanted to check in on you before class. Is it okay if I come over tonight?"

"Yeah."

"I'll see you then."

"See you."

He wanders off and the bell rings.

"I'll text you later!"

Lilianna runs off, too. I gather my stuff and follow the crowd out of the opposite cafeteria doors. Time to go sit through 45 minutes of World History.

I walk into the classroom just as the sudden urge to urinate hits me. I set my stuff down at my desk and approach the teacher.

"Mrs. Robyn, can I use the bathroom?"

"Make it quick."

I thank her and rush to the nearest lav.
