Resist My Twin Stepbrothers

Chapter 25

"What's going on with you today, Anita? Actual—ly, no. What's been up with you recently because today isn't the only day I caught you acting weird. Is some—thing wrong?" She looked around before leaning closer and whispering. "Is it the baby?"

I winced and quickly covered her mouth. We were alone, and there wasn't anyone sitting too close, not to mention the cafeteria was as loud as usual, but it would mean hell for me if people found out. I'd have to do something once it started showing, but I thought I should at least tell people—meaning Mom and Evan—that I was pregnant before focusing on other details.

"I'm just wondering where Evan is," I admitted.

Her eyebrows jumped up. "Wow. You two did grow close, huh? You're even looking for him at school. Honestly, I thought he'd just ignore you in school, but you just keep getting lucky, don't you?"

I pouted. "How is it getting lucky? I took a pun—ishment that wasn't meant for me, so it's not like I didn't pay for it. But that isn't even the problem. I ha—ven't seen Evan in school."

Hayley shrugged. "So? He could be wherever do—ing who knows what. He skips school sometimes."

I nodded. "I know, but he didn't tell me where he was, and it's been two days since I last saw him. I looked for him yesterday, too, and I don't think he was around."

Of course, Hayley didn't know yet about how far things had progressed between Evan and me. She didn't know that I'd taken him home, or that he even knew where I lived. I hadn't had the time to tell her, and right then wasn't the best moment.

I was too worried. It had been two days, and there was no news from Jacob. He didn't pick me up for school or drop me off at home like he'd said he would, even though I'd waited, and he hadn't been at school, either.

Something was nagging at me, and I wondered if there was something wrong. I didn't know how to con—tact him if he wasn't at school, though, belatedly realiz—ing that I didn't even have his phone number after we'd spent all that time together.

"Don't bother worrying about him," Hayley said dismissively. "You should worry more about yourself right now. I know you haven't told Evan anything or you would have let me know, but he's not the only person you have to tell."

"Ugh," I groaned, wrinkling my nose at her.

I was doing my best not to think about it, but she just had to mention it, huh. I didn't want to worry about how Mom would react, even though I knew I should. Once the baby was born, I was going to need help, and if it wasn't going to come from Evan, then I would have to keep troubling my mom.

Still, there was no way to know how he would react, and I was hopeful that things wouldn't go badly once I told him; but he had to be at school for me to be able to.

"I'm guessing you haven't told her, either," Hay—ley guessed.

"Of course, I haven't told her! Mom is going to freak out. I have like the worst luck ever, I go out to par—ty once, and I come out of it without my virginity and pregnant." I hissed everything at her, leaning close until I was sure I was likely spitting on her, but Hayley, good friend that she was, didn't even complain. "We only did it once, and we were standing up, so why is this happen—ing to me?"

Hayley broke down and started giggling, and just like that, she lost the 'good friend' status. I glared at her until she stopped and tried to look serious.

"You both just hit the jackpot," she said. "Do you know, some couples try as hard as they can, and they never manage what the two of you did in one shot? Did it even last ten minutes? Evan's genes, and yours, will be incredible…"

I sighed at my friend and went back to watching for Evan, but until the end of lunch, I didn't see him, and my worry doubled. I already knew he wouldn't be there to drop me off home today; I couldn't even see his car in the lot when school let out. I did, however, see two of the guys he usually hung out with. I didn't see them at the party, but they were often together at school, and an idea occurred to me.
