THE CHOSEN LOVE

XVI.

"Please class settle down" Mr. Edwards said and the whole class became silent

It's been two month now since my last encounter with Ender

We no longer had attacks so we all decided to return back to school so that no one would be suspicious

I have been avoiding Ender since the day he laid with me

"We will be having a pop quiz today, please keep your books in your bags" Mr. Edwards said passing the test paper to everyone in the class

"Sir, can we please work in groups?" A student asked

"Why?" Mr. Edwards asked back, looking at Ashley.... One of the school's highest nerds

Even though I am to be considered a nerd because I always get straight A's I still try to be cool sometimes

"It mostly contains the group assignments you gave us" She responded

"Alright, but work with your project partner" He said

Everyone moved to their project partners but I remained on my seat

I tried focusing on the test, but I couldn't, at least not after I noticed Enders presence beside me

"Hey" He said but I don't want to talk to him, at least not now

"Emily, why have you been avoiding me? I didn't do anything now did I?" He sighs when he didn't get a response from me

"I'm sorry if I hurt you" I still didn't respond, I just focused on the test

When Ender saw that I was not going to answer him, he kept quiet and also focused on the test

**********
When the bell rang, everyone left the class, leaving their test scripts on the table

I made sure not to talk to Ender throughout the test or even when leaving the class

I don't care if I fail the test

It's not like I am angry at him or something, it's just that I can't bring myself to tell him that I'm pregnant, I'm carrying Enders child

And I'm trying all I can not to bring up the topic

No one knows about this except Summer

She told me to tell him about it

But

I can't

I just cant

We didn't plan for this to happen at all

I've also decided to tell James so that I can go to our kingdom and take care of the child

But, I'm scared that James would kill me

Since I am partly a werewolf, it would take me 5 months before I would give birth and the battle of the chosen ones is in the next two years

I can't fight for my life and take care of my child at the same time!!!

That is why I would need the help of Summer, James and my mom

I've decided to keep the child a secret because if I step down from being the chosen one, the council of Elders would become very suspicious and they might take my child away from me

I'm just confused and stressed out

I'm two months pregnant and the baby bump is slightly visible

On getting to my locker, I placed all my books in my locker and took the ones I had assignments on

"I was calling you, didn't you hear me?" Ender asked scarring the hell out of me and in the process banging my locker shut, but he just stood there looking at me like he would pounce on me if I don't talk to him this time

"What do you want? " I asked reopening my locker as I tried calming my racing heart

Why does him being so close still affects me?

"Answers to my questions" He replied leaning on his locker

"What question?"I asked, trying to play dumb as I loaded my books into my backpack

"The ones I asked you in class" He said looking at me, but I ignored his stare

"And what if I don't want to answer them? " I asked, finally making eye contact with him

"Emily" He said sighing

"Please talk to me, did I do anything wrong? Why are you avoiding me?" He asked calmly

"You did nothing wrong" I said picking up my bag as I headed to the exit of the school

"Then why are you avoiding me?" He asked following me

I don't know if it was due to the hormones but I just felt angry all of a sudden as I turned towards him

"Can you leave me alone? I don't want to talk to you, don't you get it? There can never be an us, so deal with it and leave me the fuck alone" I yelled looking at Ender dead in the eyes

The anger was not directed at him but I guess because he keeps bugging me I had no other choice but to take out my anger at him

I don't even know what I am angry about

Some students stood to watch what was going on but before Ender could say anything I walked away leaving him in the mist of whispering students

I know I shouldn't have spoken to him like that but there is nothing I can do, the deed had already been done

I went outside of the school as I tried spotting James car

Once I spotted him and Summer, I began walking towards them

I felt the tears as it began to whelm up in my eyes but I tried pushing it back

"What's wrong" James asked, clearly noticing my change in mood as I got close enough to where they are

He placed his hands on my cheeks and I guess the affection was all was left before I finally broke down

I couldnt control my emotions any longer, so I started crying and James just held me close to him not uttering a word while I just cried in his arms

Why is my life so complicated?

The words I said to Ender might be small, but I know they hurt Him so bad

Why can't life ever give us what we want?

Is it that we are not worthy to be blessed with a happy life?

Why?
