    {- -} Chapter 9 » Confusions *

    2 weeks has passed. The most I did was go to Frenzy Don (it has become a habit since the first day there) and party all night and all day long. I mean can you freaking believe this? Okay, I admit, I miss school. I miss skipping class and getting into trouble. I miss Mrs. Goy's pissed off face. I miss bitching about other people to Mimi and Sophie during lunch. Ugh, could this week get any worse?!

    After fainting from exhaustion two weeks ago, Billy has been avoiding me - as usual. I guess he didn't want to hear my answer. Oh my god, I feel so sick. What is wrong with me? It was 10 am in the morning and I was just getting up when I threw up big time on the floor next to me. Oh shit. What the fuck? I quickly got up and ran to the toilet. There, I continued throwing up until I was finally done.

    I decided to give Sophie a call.

    "Hey, soph? I think something's wrong with me."

    " What's up ? "

    "I don't know. I threw up and I feel like shit. Know what's causing this fucked up thing? Ughh."

    " Are you alright ? Maybe you've just been tired lately ? Or ... Are .. youu ... prreeggnannt ? Since .. you did ' it ' with Billy ... right ? "
    "Oh please, don't be stupid. I had protection you idiot. "

    " How sure are you , that your ' protection ' works 100% ! Maybe , he forgotten to put it on or something . Hah ! "

    "What?! I always make sure the guy is protected! Duh! Common sense, soph. You know what? Why don't you come over and get some pregnancy tests and we'll see who's right."

    " Fine . Eitherway , i'm out . So yeah , i'll be right there , and prove to you , that you're going to be a mother in another 9 months or less . "

    "Whatever. We'll see."

    I hung up and thought about it. I couldn't be pregnant. Yeah, I'll show her. I sat on the couch waiting for Sophie.

    She finally came 20 minutes later.

    "Okay, I bought them. Now let's see," she said, handing me the pregnancy test.

    "Fine."

    I went in the toilet and checked.

    Yes, I am pregnant.

    "No, it can't be. Give me another one."

    Yes, I am still pregnant.

    "What the fuck! Another one!" I demanded.

    Again, I am pregnant.

    "Oh my god! Casey, you are pregnant!" Sophie exclaimed.

    "No, I'm not. This is fake. I'm not buying this shit."

    "You should see a doctor about this."

    Omg. Omg. Omg. Am I really pregnant? But who's the father?

    "Wait, who's the father?" Sophie asked.

    I didn't answer her. I was too deep in my own worries. This is bad. Like really bad! I can't even keep a fish alive for a day! A baby? I can't do this.

    Suddenly, the door opened and Billy was there. Shit! The look on his face changed from exhaustion to surprise as he saw the pregnancy test in my hand.

    "Sophie's pregnant!"

    "Mum, for the last time. I'm attending a reunion party. Not Prom! You're turning me into a doll for God's Sake." i surveyed myself in the mirror from head to toe. Looking a tad bit like my mum's idol (some woman from the 80's), the dress was obviously, hideous and old-fashioned.

    Wow, 2 weeks has just passed. I'm feeling rather excited for this party. Can't wait to see all my friends whom i've lost contact with!

    "Darling," she brushed my hair with her cold fingers, "You're meeting your ex school mates. Don't you want to look nice? Imagine what nasty things they'll say about you if you go there, wearing that yellow, old dress. Isn't this better? It's clean, bright and not to mention new too.."

    "Mum, you got it from Marks and Spencer."

    "Is there a problem?"

    "I hate Marks and Spencer."

    "Did you expect me to get you something from Marc Jacob then?" she said doubtfully.

    "Mum," i sighed. "Let me handle this alone. And, besides.. Nate's going to fetch me in six hours time, mum. Six hours." i said slowly.

    "Oh, i see my daughter doesn't need my help anymore eh?"

    "No it's just-"

    "She's turning into a young adult," she raised her voice, "And soon, she's going to leave me here, all alone."

    "Mum, i'm not leaving this house unless i have to, OK?" i laughed.

    There was a short silence. But i didn't bother anyway. I was too busy finding for.. Oh god where the fuck did i put my Lady Gaga CD again? Don't tell me, i lost it. Again?

    "You're 16, this year, Minnie-"

    "Not yet." i corrected her.

    "Yeah, but sooner or later you'll end up just like Lance. Move out, start college, go on dates. Forget that i was even here."

    "How can i possibly forget you, Mum? Oh unless, you did something terrible and i hate you. Now that's a different story then."

    "It's happening all over again. Believe it or not, that's what Lance told me last few years ago."

    I found it! I found it! Without waiting any longer, I transferred the songs from the CD into my computer and turned the volume down just in case Mum hated noisy music. And that's when i realize, mum was waiting for a reply. Shit.

    "Oh. Err, he did?" i asked ridiculously.

    "Of course he did. The same words. I can remember it clearly. It was the day he finally graduated from high school. Back when he was still with Nancy." she smiled pleasantly.

    Gosh, Nancy. I wonder what happened to her and my brother? Lance wasn't at home these days so i couldn't ask him. I don't see him that much anymore.

    "Just look at you. You've grown so much. From a toddler, you've become a teen. And ever since we moved here, it was like as if you've become someone else. You're not as quiet as you were before at Columbus."

    "You didn't like it when i'm quiet?" i asked while taking my ear rings off.

    "No, i don't mean it that way.. It doesn't matter. Quiet or not, you're still my Minnie. My little Minnie."

    I nodded my head, pretending that i was listening to every word she was saying. Boring mum-daughter talks. I'm sick of them. Until.. the very last sentence she said, caught my attention.

    "Talented just like your older brother David, spontaneous just like your brother Lance, Tall and model-like just like your.."

    "My dad?" I turned around and saw that shocking face of hers.

    "I was going to say, grandmother but he can fit into that slot too." she rolled her eyes.

    "Mum, what exactly happened to my dad? If i had one, that is."

    I could see it in her eyes, filled with anger and disappointment at the same time. I knew that look. She hated anyone who would ask about my dad. But i just did. And now, right now, at this moment, i would like to see what she would say.

    "Your dad was lovely. He brought me out for dinner, every night. It's a pity he's dead now." she said without any enthusiasm.

    What the fuck? Is she even human? Or did she NOT love my dad at the first place?

    "Are you sure he's-"

    "Minnie, let's not talk about it. Oh lord, you look beautiful!" she squeezed my arms and smiled. "Any guy will just fall for you on first sight."

    I couldn't stop myself from turning tomato red.

    "Mum, there's no such thing as love at first sight. We all know that."

    She made no immediate reply and for a long moment, she hesitated. I didn't know if she was loss for words or was she just thinking about her ex crushes or something.

    Finally, she cleared her throat and said, "There is, Mimi. There is. It's just a matter of time and he'll find you soon. I know it."

    "Hm. I'll just wait and see what happens. Oh shit! Mum! Aren't you suppose to be meeting up with Simon from work?"

    "Simon.. Simon.. SIMON! Right!" she checked her phone and realized how late she was already.

    Okay, now what? It's still early.. And i have no plans for the day. Oh great. Just great. I'll be stoning right here, in my room 'til Nate arrives? Oh my god, this sucks. I'm fucking bored. Bored bored bored! Gah. I hit the table so hard that when someone messaged me on AIM (the new message tone that scared me), i gasped and fell right onto my cold carpet.

    "Owww. Who.. who's this. Eh? Cheese20? What a funny name." i giggled.

    Cheese20: Hi. We need to talk.
    minnie.xo: Hey, yes er we do need to talk. Who the fuck are you?
    Cheese20: Oops, sorry. I'm using Taylor's account. You know who's Taylor?
    minnie.xo: Right! Yeah i know him. But who's this, using his account then?
    Cheese20: Erm, you might have forgotten about me or whatsoever but i'm afraid we've met once and it was quite a memorable night. Couldn't forget you for a week.

    Is this guy flirting with me? Oh, not any guy, this stranger?

    minnie.xo: Er, i'm sorry? Can't recall spending any night with a sweet talker like you.
    Cheese20: You knew me a day before you stepped into Sunny Dales High. For one night, it seemed, we talked non-stop. But sadly, we lost contact. Now, do you know who am i?
    minnie.xo: Hm. Are you.. are you Nate's friend?
    Cheese20: No, i'm not. C'mon, Denise?
    minnie.xo: Oh, RIGHT. Denise's friend then. Gosh, silly me :D
    Cheese20: No. I went to her party, uninvited by the way.
    minnie.xo: Denise's cousin?
    Cheese20: No.
    minnie.xo: Denise's boyfriend?
    Cheese20: No. How the fuck am i suppose to be her boyfriend when i'm not even friends with her?
    minnie.xo: Right, you have a point. Err, Denise's..
    Cheese20: Wtf is wrong with you. I don't even know Denise! Denise's party?! That night!
    minnie.xo: .................... you're one of the sex maniacs?
    Cheese20: Okay, i give up. Last clue, Ashton's friend.

    No, no way. No, he can't be. Is he?

    minnie.xo: Mike?
    Cheese20: Finally. God, it took you so long. Anyway, can we meet up?

    Fuck, did he just ask me out, IN a way?! AHHH! Okay, act cool Minnie. Act cool.

    minnie.xo: Sure, what time?
    Cheese20: I've not told you where will we be meeting yet and here you are, asking me, what time?
    minnie.xo: Oh, right right. Where?
    Cheese20: The small restaurant behind the school. Time, er. Now. Go change and i'll meet you in 10 minutes.
    minnie.xo: Ok, see you then :)
    Cheese20: Can't wait.

    Cheese20 signed off.

    10 minutes. How am i going to make myself look absolutely drop dead gorgeous in just 10 minutes? Arghhh! Enough thinking, Minnie. Go grab a summer dress and spray some perfume on.

    I reached the restaurant fashionably late, and good idea Minnie. Now, how the hell are you going to find Mike? I barely even remember how he looked like.. But i do remember one thing. That he has gorgeous, dreamy blue eyes. I can stare into his eyes for hours and hours and hours..

    "Minnie!" someone shouted from the back. I turned around to find the most handsome guy i've ever met, sitting down, waving his hands high up in the air, screaming my name.

    My bloody name, Minnie.

    That must be him. That must be Mike.

    "Hi, you must be Minnie." he reached out his hand for a shake.

    His body, his eyes. His eyes.. Stop, stop it.

    "Uh, yes that's me!" i exclaimed and shook hands with him.

    "You look amazing. I don't remember you, dressing up like this in the party. Have a seat, have a seat."

    As i was told, i gently pulled out the chair and sat down. He is so muscular, and tall and..

    "Do you want a drink? I'm having a Diet Coke, how about you?"

    "Same. I'll have that too."

    As soon as the waitress took the orders, Mike put his serious face on and said, "There's something i have to tell you. The reason why i asked you out today."

    "Uhh, okay. Is it something bad?"

    "You can say that.." he leaned forward to hold my hand, "Minnie, this has something to do with Ashton." he said quietly.

    My heart skipped a beat. I took my hand away from his and said casually, "Yeah, so? What about him? Is he coming back to Sunny Dales High?"

    "No.. No, he isn't. He's at New York, staying with his parents. Everything's fine. Don't worry."

    "Oh, good to know he's safe." i leaned back and took a sip of my Diet Coke.

    "Minnie.." he shook his head, "You must know, he did this for a reason. He didn't mean to leave you like this. I know it's hard for you in the beginning, but as time passes, i know you'll get over it."

    "Get over it? Who told you i'd be sad? So what if he's gone? He wasn't a good friend either." i lied. Tears welled up in my eyes as i said those mean, hurtful stuffs. I didn't bother fucks. I tried looking away, avoiding to have eye contact with him. I wanted to show Mike i was a strong person. I could live without Ashton.

    "Oh, yeah? Who drove you to school every morning? Who was there to cheer you up when you had fights with your brother? Who loved you the most? Don't tell me, you didn't have the slightest feeling for him."

    "No," i lied again. "No.. No i didn't." That's it. I couldn't take it anymore. I started crying in front of Mike.

    "I know you do love him, Minnie, just as much as he loved you. From the moment he met you, the first day he drove you to school, he knew there was a spark. He told me that evening, right after school, 'Mike, i think i've found the girl. The girl i've been looking for!'", he threw his hands up in the air, feeling excited remembering what had happened, "I was happy for him but i didn't know who the girl was. He kept it anonymous the whole time. 'Til that day, he came home, packing. Feeling so down. He grabbed a few alcoholic drinks, and drank them all in one shot. He was drunk. He told me your name, he told me how beautiful you were."

    "He.. He did?" i interrupted.

    "Yes, he did, Minnie. I had to take care of him for a few nights. He couldn't stop drinking."

    I was far beyond speechless. I took another sip of my Diet Coke.

    "Why was he drinking?"

    "He blamed himself for wanting to take your virginity away. He didn't want you to have your first sex with him. He regretted staying over that night. After you fell asleep, he came back to the apartment straight away. All grumpy and mad. Not at anyone else but himself."

    "What? He felt that way?"

    What Mike didn't know was that, how desperate i was that night, to lose my virginty to Ashton. Ughh.

    "But, i'm sorry. Things didn't work out between both of you."

    "Oh, Mike.." i sniffed, "Things were perfect for us. We saw each other every day, we didn't fight that much, we were like.. brothers and sisters."

    "It was more than brothers and sisters, you know that."

    "We're just friends, Mike." i gave a fake laugh. "Well, more than friends perharps."

    "That's more like it." he grinned.

    "In fact, i liked being around him. I liked the fact that he surprised me most of the time." i smiled, "I'm just.. grateful that i've met him. But, what can i do?" i sighed. "Things can't possibly work out like how it used to anymore. He's gone."

    "Do you know why he left?"

    "No, why? Was it something i did wrong?"

    "Do you want to know why?" he asked.

    I stared into his eyes, concerned about this matter. Forget those dreamy blue eyes, he was far way too perfect for me. I couldn't imagine, spending even an hour with him, in. A room. He'd probably think i'm some boring, shy, fucked-up bitch after this meet-up, and stopped contacting me. Besides, i think he's here just because Ashton asked him to.

    "Ye.. Yeah.." i took a deep breath, preparing myself to hear the reason behind all this.

    "By the way, Ashton doesn't know i'm seeing you. I'm not suppose to tell you this but i think i have the rights to."

    Oh i see, HE doesn't know anything about this. This might get interesting.

    "Okay, what is it? Why the fuck did he leave?" i laughed softly.

    "Here goes," he exhales sharply, "He's back with his ex, Hanna. They're at New York, right now."

    Shut up. I did not hear that right.

    Mike continued, "But i think Hanna's up to something. Out of a sudden, she called up Ashton and he left just like that. There must be something going on. I need you to.." he pauses. "Minnie? Are you alright?"

    Suddenly, i feel all dizzy and wobbly. Memories of me and Ashton together are twirling in my head. Headache. Headache. I held my glass and threw it on the floor, harshly. It broke into pieces and automatically, i collapsed onto the floor. I could hear, Mike yelling repeatedly, "Minnie! Minnie! Are you okay?!"

    I couldn't believe this was happening to me. He's leaving me for another girl..?

    It has been 2 weeks , since i last talked to Dad . Its not that i hate him or whatever , i mean i still do love him , but what's wrong with Trace , seriously . Mum still doesn't want to tell me how did she know Patrick Wilson a.k.a Trace's Dad . Its like i know nothing , and they're hiding it away from me . Well , its same for Trace actually . He knows nothing too , at least i have someone whose in the same situation as me ! Trace doesn't have the guts to ask his Dad , that's a different story though .

    Anyways , Heroes is on TV now . Yeah ! The best tv programme to watch , and that's the only TV Show i will ever watch . Kidding . Obviously not , i'm not a freak .

    * ding ding *

    A text message received . I wonder who . Oh , Its Trace .

    To Sophie :

    Hey Soph , Are you free to go out now ? I want you to come over my house right now , if you're free of course .

    From Trace .

    His house ? Right now ? Oh my god , Its a Saturday ! And i'm finally free from my parents , Alyssa and her mum ! Gosh . But anyway , it feels great talking to Trace . So , his house will be great , right ? unless , he invited Martin over his house ! I'll never step into his house if Martin's there . Speaking of Martin , I don't even know if i do still like him or not . Just sometimes , I miss him so much , but whenever i think of him with the plastics , its like , DISASTER . Oh god , i should stop thinking bout him .

    To Trace :

    Hm sure . How i'm suppose to get there by the way ? Fly there ? Or do you expect me to walk ? And , why do i need to be at your house ?

    From Sophie .

    If he's going to ask me to walk , i will rather stay at home and stone . Walking to his house , is like climbing up Mt.Everest .

    To Sophie :

    No , i will never let you walk to my house . Its like climbing up Mt.Everest . Haha . No worries , i'll pick you up in 10 kay ? Get ready , i will not wait . Oh , cause , i'm grounded ? for god knows the reason why , and Dad's home to watch me .

    From Trace .

    Did he just say Mt.Everest ? Great minds think alike eh ?

    To Trace :

    Then HOW ARE YOU GOING TO FETCH ME if you're grounded ?! your dad's home ?! wouldn't he mind or something ?

    From Sophie .

    I'm going to meet Trace's Dad a.k.a Patrick Wilson . The guy who Mum will never want to tell me who is he . Shall i ask him bout the past ? Wait , that depends if he wants to .

    To Sophie :

    I'm going to tell my dad that i'll be away for 15 minutes , to fetch a friend to our house . He's cool alright , he wouldnt mind . No worries . I'm leaving now ! See you in 10 !

    From Trace .

    Right , in 10 . Wait , I'm still in my PyJ ! I need to change , i need to change !

    **

    " Why do you need me in your house , Trace ? Can't you call your brothers or whoever ? " I asked while switching on the radio . He always off his radio , gosh .

    " You meant Martin , don't you ? You still like him eh ? "

    " NO , TRACE ?! Why are you going so far ? " I looked away , trying to avoid the question .

    " You're avoiding my question , Sophie . This proves that you still like him right ? "

    " Gawd, I dont know ! Trace , can we stop talking bout this ? If you want to continue , then just drop me off here kay ? "

    " Okay , i'm sorry . "

    Right . I didn't reply . I'm always mad at those who speak to me bout Martin . I just don't want to talk bout him anymore , and i dont get it , why noone understands that .

    Less than 10 minutes , I've reached Trace's house .

    " Are you okay ? I'm sorry if i was being so rude . " He said that , once he opened the door for me and lead me out of his car .

    " Nah nah . Its alright . But , can you please stop talking bout Martin ? "

    " Alright . If you wish . You know i would do anything just for you . "

    " Uhuh . "

    His maid opened the door for us , and she greeted me .

    " Good afternoon , miss . "

    " Oh oh , afternoon . You can call me Sophie . " I gave her a smile .

    " Your coat , Sophie ? "

    " Yeah , thanks . " Trace helped me to take off my coat and handed it over to his maid .

    " Any drinks for both of you ? "

    " No , thanks Georgia . Where's dad ? " Trace said .

    " Sir is up at the study room . Oh , there he is . " Georgia said that when she saw Trace's dad coming down the stairs and pointed at him .

    " Hi , Dad . " Trace grabbed my hand and walked me to his dad .

    " Hi Uncle . I'm Sophie Cassandra , nice to meet you . "

    " Hi , Sophie . Nice to meet you . You're James Cassandra's daughter ? " Trace's dad asked me , with the word ' curiousity ' appearing on his face .

    " Erh yes , sir . No wait , i mean Uncle . No ! Uncle Patrick . Right ? "

    " So i see , you know my name , don't you ? "

    " Oh , yes sir . "

    " Dad , I'm going to bring Sophie up to my room , alright ? " Trace interrupted .

    " Sure . Go ahead . Feel free , Sophie . There're no boundaries in this house . Oh Trace , i need to pick your mum up from the airport . Take Sophie out for a dinner if we aren't back at 6 . " Uncle Patrick smiled at me , handed over some money to Trace and then headed to the door with car keys in his hand .

    " Right . Your dad , looks nice . " I told Trace bout how i feel about his dad , when we were going up the stairs , up to his room .

    Oh , Uncle Patrick's room door isn't close and the lights are off . . That's weird . Anyways , who cares . Georgia would close it for him . Trace brought me to his room , and we started to talk bout all kinds of stuffs . From Alyssa to Parents , from parents to School and lastly , to Martin . I have no idea why he loves talking about Martin . And whenever he talks bout him , he sounds so piss .

    " Sophie , can you wait for a while ? I need to go out to the washroom . "

    " Oh oh , okaaay . "

    Trace went to the washroom , and I was feeling really bored and I needed to walk . So i walked out of his room , and i saw Uncle Patrick's room was still open . I decided to go in and have a look . I on the lights , and , his room , is huge . I could see his family photo was framed up on the wall . I walked to Uncle Patrick's desk , and saw a picture on the table . Oh , a girl . I picked up the photo , and had a close look on it . This girl is hell pretty . I guess its Trace's mother . Wait , No . This girl looks familiar . Hmm , where have i seen her before . Isn't she MUM ?! Yes it is , ITS MUM ! Why does Uncle Patrick has Mum's photo ? Mum looks like she was in her early 20's . Okay , something's wrong . Something's really wrong . But , What's wrong ?

    " Sophie , what are you doing here ? " I woke up from my thoughts and heard a man's voice .

    " Oh Hi , Uncle Patrick . You're back . That was quick . " I quickly put the picture down on the desk .

    " What were you doing here ? " Uncle Patrick walked over to me .

    " Oh oh , nah . One of my earring fell when i was outside , and i guess it ran inside . Heh , and , i just found it . Tada ! " I smiled and pointed at my right earring .

    " Its great that you found it . So how's Tracy going ? Doing fine with James ? "

    " You meant , my parents eh ? Oh , they're great . Hmm . Can i ask a question ? How did you know my parents ? "

    " They didn't tell you ? " Uncle Patrick brought me over to the couch and both of us took a seat .

    " Nope , they never tell me anything . Especially , Dad . "

    " Okay . So i guess it'll be alright if i tell you , since it was the past . "

    " Wow , you guys have history together ? " I laughed , but i stopped laughing after a few seconds when Uncle Patrick didn't find it funny .

    " Hm , something like that . So , here's how it goes . I knew Tracy , your mum since highschool . We dated for like 2 years , but i had to leave her because my mum match-made me with another girl who lives at LA , so i had to move there . I told your mum that i still love her , but I can't marry her , so I asked her to move on without me . Your mum was mad at me for like months , until James , your dad came by . I don't know what happen between there . But when i came back , I tried asking your mum for forgiveness and asked if we could be together again . Your dad , came scolding me and told me that I broke your mum's heart , and all . And after that incident , we never contact each other anymore . The next thing i know , your mum has already married to your dad . So i just moved on to Angela , which is Trace's mum . So , you get the whole thing right ? "

    I stunned , and looked blankly at Uncle Patrick . That's so complicated , no ?

    " Wow .. that's complicated . So did you name Trace , after my mum ? Tracy ? Trace ? See the connection over there ? " I smiled .

    " That's a good one . Very funny , Sophie . " Uncle Patrick laughed .

    " Hey , so what's happening right here ? I ditched Sophie for a while , and Dad , you're grabbing her already ? Please , Dad . You already have Mum . " Trace interrupted .

    " I'm sorry , son . But Sophie is just too pretty to resist . " Uncle Patrick chuckled , then he continued . " Oh well , I'm going to go downstairs and look for your mum . Your mum is cooking , since i told her that you brought a girl home . Have fun , kids . See you later , Sophie . "

    " See you later too . " I smiled at him .

    After 15 minutes , my cellphone rang . Oh , its Casey . I wonder what does she need this time .

    Right . Casey's pregnant now , great . But she still wouldn't believe that damn fact . I'll prove to her ! NOW ! I can imagine her , being a mother in less than 9 months . Great .

    " Hey , Trace . Can you fetch me to Casey's house ? Please ? " I showed him my puppy face , hoping that he will .

    " Now ? But we're just going have dinner in another few minutes ? "

    " I'm sorry , Trace . But this is urgent . I know it's kind of rude to leave at a time like this , but i promise you , i'll come another time , to have dinner with you and your family . Please ? " I gave him a smile , so that it will help me to convince him .

    " Ah alright alright . You'll have to tell Dad yourself , because it seems that he likes you . Hm , and my mum too . Anyway , meet my mum before you leave ? "

    " Sure sure . "

    Both of us got down and that's when i officially met Trace's mum .

    " Hey mum . This is Sophie . Sophie , meet my mum . "

    " Heeey , aunty . " I smiled .

    " Hey Sophie . I've always heard Trace talking about you . well , you're gorgeous . And , please don't call me aunty . I'm still young alright . " She laughed . All of us did too .

    " Sophie , call her Angela . That will make her look young . " Uncle Patrick said that , and then he put his arms around Angela's shoulder .

    " Okay , Angela . So , Uncle Patrick , should i call you Patrick too ? " I laughed .

    " If you wish to . Anyways , dinner's ready . Who's up for it ? "

    I looked at Trace .

    " Erh , Mum , Dad . Sophie is not staying for dinner . She has to leave now . "

    " Yeah , Angela & Patrick . I'm sorry . I have something to do . "

    " Ah , alright . If you insist . Trace , make sure you keep her safe on the way alright ? "

    " Right away , Mum . " Trace walked me to the front door and opened the door for me , while Georgia handed me my coat .

    " Sorry Patrick and Angela . I'll come for dinner another time aite . See you guys next time . Bye . " I waved at them and left the house .

    Trace fetched me to a pharmacy , and that's when i need a pregnancy test for Casey . I shouldn't have brought Trace along with me , i knew he would start questioning me like i'm a prisoner . Gosh .

    " Hey Sophie . Why do you need a pregnancy test ? Aree .. you .. PREGNANT ?! " Trace said it out loud and people started to stare at us . Great , now i'm pregnant .

    " Shhh . Quiet down , are you trying to let the whole world now ? " I pulled him closer to me , and gave him a look .

    " WHAT ?! YOU really are ?! "

    " NOO ! IM NOT .! I'm not buying for myself , i'm buying for Casey , God . " I walked away , looking for pregnancy tests .

    " What ? She's pregnant ?! " Trace gave me a are-you-freaking-kidding-me-look .

    " May i help both of you ? " Suddenly a saleswoman interrupted . She's Elise . Hah , im not a phsychic , her name tag says it all .

    " I need to get some pregnancy tests , can you help me choose the best ? "

    " Are you ? If you are , I think you should go see the doctor . " She gave a strange look at Trace , and i guess she thinks that Trace is the father of my baby . Hah , yeah right .

    " No no . I'm not . I'm buying for one of my friend . "

    " Oh . I see . Hm , well , take this . I think this will work . I still insist on you bringing her to the doctor , for a confirmation . "

    " Alright , thanks , Elise . " I gave her a smile . You know , you can hardly find a friendly saleswoman .

    I paid for 3 pregnancy tests . and it costs $9.25 . Yeah , Casey owes me $9.25 . Then , we headed over to Casey's house . Trace wanted to come along , but i didn't allow , because it's a girl's thing .
