Just before lunch, I stop in the bathroom locking myself in a stall as I feel a bout of sickness coming on. The nauseous feeling is stronger today and I almost wish I had stayed home, but I can't miss any more of school if I want to graduate with a good GPA.

I might be pregnant but my dream of going to college is still alive and it's all I hope for so, there's nothing to stop it from becoming a reality.

After throwing up, I stand at the sink for a few minutes taking deep breaths and trying to get my mind prepared for how and when I'm going to tell Reed that I'm pregnant. The how isn't so much a problem as the when, as he's never alone. I wanted to tell him this morning but I couldn't when Sheldon was on us like white on rice.

Sighing, I look in the mirror and splash some water on my face telling myself I'll tell him after school when he's taking me home. He sort of demanded to while in class and before I could deny, the bell rang and everyone began talking to him so I couldn't.

We both left and just when I was about to say something I felt nauseous and told him I was going to the bathroom. And here I am.

I rinse out my mouth and move to exit when Amilda and Alyssa come in. They take a look at me and make a disgusted face, I try to push pass them but they block me.

"Well well, look who we have here. Litter trash on her way to lunch." Alyssa smiles wickedly at me, flipping her long black hair over her shoulder and folding her arms under her big breasts.

"With Reed no doubt." Amilda gives me a dirty look from my head to my shoes then back up.

"Reed, Reed Max?" Alyssa says with a shocked look on her before cackling.

"Seems he couldn't find better than Isla so he's settling for less." Amilda steps forward and I narrow my eyes at her.

Their words don't hurt me but if she touches me, I'm knocking her out.

"Are you guys done?" I say and try to move pass them again but they shove me back with their bodies.

"Stay away from Max." Alyssa says and Amilda says right after, "He doesn't need trash like you."

"Because he would rather trash like you two?"

They give me dark glares and step forward but before they can say anything there's a knock and Reed Max speaks from the other side. "Reena, you okay?"

Both girls stares grew darker when I finally push pass them to the exit. Reed Max eyes me with a little concern before asking, "You okay, you were in there forever."

I nod and move off. "I'm fine. Was just catching up with a few friends." He's right beside me, taking every in.

"Thought you said you didn't have any friends."

"I don't," I reply, my head straight.

"Hm. I'm not going to ask."

I smile and look across at him. "Good."

He returns a smile and we make our way to the cafeteria in sweet silence.

Once there Sheldon waves us over and the walk to him I can feel every eye on us and all the time I hold my head up.

Reed must feel it too because he holds my hand and when I don't move it, he squeezes it and my chest catches a fire.

"You guys took long." Sheldon gives us both mischievous looks that grow when he sees our hands together. "Bonding were we?"

I swallow and look down as we take our seats. Reed is right across from Sheldon and the rest of their squad is one bench away. I'm about to sigh with relief when two persons sit beside of Sheldon.

Amilda and Alyssa.

They both smile at me, while I stare at them, more annoyed than anything.

"Can I help you guys?" Sheldon looks at both girls, Alyssa on his right and Amilda on his left.

"Why hello Sheldon, how is your day?"Alyssa turns to him, a fake smile splayed across her face. "Mine is okay, well it was." She looks at me and drops her head to the side.

Reed clears his throat. "Do you guys want something?"

"Oh Max, we aren't welcome here anymore?" Amilda gives him a wicked look and he looks at her grimly.

"You haven't been here since Isla left."

Isla. That's his ex-girlfriend who left with her parents for Europe.

"Well," she says, leaning back. "speaking of Isla, when was the last-"

Reed stands up and addresses me. "Reena want me to get you something?"

I keep my eyes on both girls ask reply. "Yeah. Orange juice and a yogurt. No peanut though, allergic."

He nods before walking off and both girls eyes follow after him.

"Well that was rude, wasn't it Amilda?" Amilda eyes land on me and she smirks. "Still doesn't like talking about her, guess he's still in love."

Sheldon lets out an annoyed breath. "I know what you guys are doing and it's not going to work."

They both look at him darkly.

"So," he continues, ignoring their looks. "you guys can leave."

"We don't feel like it," Alyssa says the moment Reed places a yogurt and box of orange juice in front of me and sits, placing a small plastic bowl of mixed nuts down and a bottle of water.

I reach for the yogurt and tear the lid off all the while praying that I'm able to keep it down. Alyssa and Amilda are still talking and I see Reed open his mouth to say something but, before he can some of the guys on his team huddle around him.

"Aren't you going to introduce us, Max?" A guy with dark brown hair stares at me, a wide smile.

"You guys already know Reena," Sheldon says and they all look at him smugly.

"Yes, we do." Another says.

"But we want our boy here," he slaps Reed on the shoulder, "to introduce her to us."

Before I can say something mean and stupid, Reed stands up and pulls me up with him holding my hand in his.

"This is Reena, my girlfriend."

He says it so everyone can hear and for a minute you can hear a pin drop. I move to sit when strong arms wrap around me and lift me up. I don't get to see who because suddenly I'm surrounded by all the guys, who are laughing and chatting.

When I'm finally placed back on my feet, Reed is looking at me with a smile on his face and he hugs me.

Sheldon gets up to talk to the guys and we both sit. Alyssa and Amilda have since left and I feel a wave of happiness flow through me at not only their absence but also about what just happened. He introduced me as his girlfriend. I try to contain my excitement.

Reed shovels down the nuts and I eat start at my yogurt. We both make glances at each other, smiling. Him and Sheldon start talking about sports while I just watch them. On occasion they try to include me into their discussion but I honestly don't know much about what they're saying so I only nod. Finally, they start talking about colleges and then I begin talking because it's all I think about these days.

Suddenly I begin to cough and while it starts off as me trying to clear my throat they soon escalate into something different even more so when I feel my chest beginning to tighten. I spin the yogurt in my hand and try reading the ingredients but so far no nuts. I begin to search the yogurt hoping it wasn't a nut I bit into and swallowed. It doesn't take long for me to find it and immediately I can feel sweat on
my forehead and I know something's wrong. My throat grows tighter and I scratch at it. My vision suddenly blurs.

Oh no.

I look down at my hands and push the sleeves of my sweater up and immediately notice the itching sensation. My throat grows tighter still and I grab Reed's hand. He says something but the racing of my beating heart is making it hard to hear what he's saying.

I try to stand, with a hand on my small belly but the lack of oxygen only causes me to fall flat on my back. I lie there, on the floor trying to get air into my lungs but it is proving futile.

I try to focus on Reed who is holding my head in his hands and shouting. I try to remain conscious but it's becoming harder every growing minute.

Finally, I feel myself slipping and my last thought before I blackout is about my baby.
