Don't even think about it

Chantel was seated in class when a student came and called her. The headmaster was asking of her and had wanted to see her. She felt so nervous when she was told that the headmaster was looking for her. She wished her friends Adiepena and Cynthia were here with her but this was class hours and the girls would not be able to come even if they wanted to. there was no teacher in Chantel's class so that made her a bit happy. she would not be able to stand the quiet stares from any teacher if she were to be called while a teacher was around.

Chantel quickly walked out of the classroom and headed straight to the headmaster's office. She stood outside the headmaster's office and knocked on his door. She waited until she heard a reply before she entered. She greeted the headmaster and stood. The older man was seated behind his huge desk which was covered with books and books. there was a laptop on the table in front of him while Chantel stood there looking down.

"Sit down, Chantel." The older man said.

Chantel did as told and sat down. she could feel her heart beating harder in her chest and it was even hurting her ears. the headmaster finished typing and looked her straight in the eyes.

"The nurse was here yesterday and told me something about you. She told me she ran a test on you and she found out you were pregnant. Is that true?" The headmaster asked her straight away.

Chantel almost cried when she heard the question. The day she and Kevin made love, she thought she would be able to handle the consequences but she just realized that she was not as strong as she thought she was. She was quiet so the headmaster had to repeat the question again.

"Y-yes, it is true. I am pregnant," she answered.

the headmaster sighed. "I don't know if you know this school is not one that tolerates this kind of thing. this is one of the best schools and it is not known as one of the schools with the most disciplined students. When you came to this school, I was very happy with you because you came here with a scholarship. What I cant believe is what a model student like yourself getting yourself pregnant at this age. We are just almost at the end of the second term and this happens. It is sad, very sad indeed." the headmaster commented.

"Sir, I know did wrong and I regret my actions more than anything. I really wish I could turn back the hands of time. I really feel bad about this."

"If it were any other student, I would have sent you packing right away but I won't do that to you. I want to see your parents at this school on Monday. They need to know what has happened. Also, I need the name of the boy who did this to you. I need him and one of his teachers here in school. so, let him know. Please, make sure your parents are here in my office on Monday. Their coming here will determine what action to take next concerning your pregnancy. You may go," he dismisses her.

Chantel thanked him and left the office almost in tears. She slowly walked down the stairs and went to her class. She had science as her last subject but she was not really listening when the teacher was teaching. Her mind was on what the headmaster had told her earlier about meeting her parents. She never expected to call her parents on something like this. It hurt her a lot. She quietly walked back to the dormitory on her own without her friends.

Cynthia and Adiepena later came into the dorm later on and found Chantel seated on her bed, crying. They both ran to her side and sat by her, each one on her side.

"What happened? Why are you crying?" Cynthia asked.

"Th-The headmaster invited me to his office and told me that he wanted to see my parents at his office on Monday. they are going to discuss my pregnancy. I can already imagine their faces, they would be so disappointed." Chantel lamented.

"Oh, God! So what happens now?" Adiepena asked.

"I will have to talk to Kevin. He has to know what is going on. also, the headmaster wanted to meet him too so I think it will be better if he gets to know about it from me first."

"He wants to meet Kevin as well? This is so serious." Adiepena said.

"Yes. That is why I have to meet him so that this will not come as a surprise to him."

"Is he coming around tomorrow? I think that will be a good way to speak with him."

"Yes, he is coming over tomorrow. I will tell him when he comes."

Both girls hugged their friend and comforted her.

the next day, Chantel met Kevin in their favorite spot. Kevin had come to dee her. and when he saw her, a large smile crept up in his face. his face was filled with so much joy at the sight of his girlfriend. but the look on Chantel's face told him all was not well.

"What happened, baby girl? Why the long face? Is everything okay?"

Chantel shook her head as she folded her arms and leaned across the mango tree. "Everything is falling apart, Kevin. I am pregnant."

Kevin's face changed from the excitement to that of shock. "What?!" he whispered. The colour on his face drained from his face.

"Yes, Kevin. I am pregnant. I am two months pregnant."

"Wait, are you telling me you are pregnant? how? When did you find out?"

"Yesterday. I found out yesterday. and what do you mean by how?"

"I am sorry, I was just shocked. So what are you going to do about the pregnancy?

"I don't understand what you mean. Wait! I hope you are not thinking what I think you are thinking.

"Chantel calm down, I am not thinking anything. But, don't you think this is way too soon. We are still young and have our lives ahead of us. Maybe we should, you know..."

"Never and don't ever think about that again!" Chantel warmed Kevin, disgusted at what he was thinking about.
