Why Him?

Two down. Too many to go

The next morning Riley suggests that we go to her place for breakfast. I decline but she refuses to take no for an answer. After gathering her things we go upstairs to her house. When we get to her door my fingers are crossed in hopes that her parents will still be asleep. As soon as she opens the door I smell pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Riley runs to her room to put her stuff away and Mrs. Matthews calls me over to get some breakfast. I take a seat and she puts a plate of food in front of me. "How are you Maya?" I stare down at the plate pretending like I don't know what she's talking about. "I'm fine." she sits down and lifts my chin up. "I know. You that I know. Now how are you?" tears begin rolling down my face. "I can't do this. I can't be pregnant. I can't have a kid." she hugs me. "Everything's going to work out. I promise." Riley walks in. "Whats wrong?" I wipe the tears from my face. "Nothing. I'm fine." Riley sits down next to me. "No your not fine. You were crying. Whats wrong?" I stand up. "I'm going to go get ready for school. I'll see you there." I leave the Matthews and head back up to my place. I just sit in my room for the longest. I don't want to go to school. I can't face people. Mr. And Mrs. Matthews know. Riley's on the verge of finding out. And once she does know she'll tell Farkle and Lucas. After that the school will find out. Not to mention that Mr. Matthews is my teacher and therefore if I go to school today I will have to face him. Its all just too much. I hear a knock at the front door so I go to see who it is. And of course its Riley. I don't answer it though. Instead I just go back to my room. After arguing with myself I decide to go to school. I take a seat behind Riley and pull out a notebook. Riley turns around. "Maya whats wrong?" I look up at her. "Nothing. I told you already I'm fine." Lucas chimes in. "Wait whats wrong?" I turn around to him. "Nothing ranger rick I'm fine." Farkle turns to me. "Then why did Riley ask you whats wrong? Is there something wrong?" I raise my voice. "NOTHING IS WRONG OK? So can you all just leave me alone!!" Mr. Matthews comes in. "9/11. A day that shocked the entire world. No one could have predicted that day. Thousands of lives lost. Family's were separated forever. For no reason. None of those people deserved to loose loved ones like that." his words sunk into my brain. Was I gonna cause a 9/11? Would I separate families? The Matthews? Please not the Matthews. I couldn't live with myself if I were to separate the their family.
