UNY Dorm Room, Saturday Afternoon

Apr 12, 2008 20:51

It was Angela's 19th birthday, but she didn't have any plans to celebrate, really. She'd let herself have a caramel latte at work --- ooh, rebellion -- and was now flopped on her bed, trying to do some reading for her women's lit final ( Read more... )

Her phone was ringing, a ring that was somehow just a little more obnoxious than it normally was.

On the other end, Rayanne was chanting. "PLEASE don't already be gone, Chase. PLEASE be lame."

"I did not flunk out!" Angela whined.

"Sorry, when you start with a list of who cannot know something ... " Rayanne pointed out.

"It's a logical assumption," Rickie agreed.

"It so, so is," Rayanne said. "So you've either dropped out, lost your job, gotten arrested, gotten married, or you're pregnant."

There was a long pause. "The last one. When did you turn psychic?" Angela grumped.

There was a high-pitched squeal from Rickie in the background.

"Oh my god, you are totally kidding, right?" he said, once he could speak again.

"... no," Angela had to admit. "I have told, like, nobody yet."

"Nobody" meaning "everyone she had talked to in the last two weeks who had known her for more than a nanosecond."

Rickie squealed happily again; Rayanne held up a finger to silence him. "Shit, Angela, what are you going to do? This is, like, big drama, I should offer you a drink except ..."

chasingangela April 13 2008, 01:44:46 UTC

"Except," Angela agreed, toying with her bedspread.

Quietly she said, "I think we're keeping it."

"Oh."

After that, Rayanne didn't say anything. Rickie, though, jumped in.

"That's awesome, babies are such, such a blessing. Do you know what you're gonna call it?" He paused. "I should quit saying it. When are you do?"

chasingangela April 13 2008, 01:48:47 UTC

"I call it, it," Angela informed him slowly, noticing Rayanne's silence. "Um, maybe Graham for a boy, for my dad? And I like Lauren or Andrea for a girl."

"It -- he or she, sorry -- will get here around Halloween."

Rickie was saying something about the names being pretty with Rayanne grabbed the phone again. "Wow, um ... congratulations?" Privately she was very glad it wasn't her, but she could tell Angela was trying to be happy. "I mean, if that's, like, what you want to hear."

chasingangela April 13 2008, 01:54:39 UTC

"It is," Angela was defiant. "I mean, it's not what I expected, but ... it's a blessing, right? And I couldn't ... um."

"It's like in tenth grade," Rayanne agreed. "If you can't say the real thing and not 'um,' you so should not be allowed to do um."

"How are you telling your parents?"

chasingangela April 13 2008, 01:57:12 UTC

"...not." Angela admitted. "I think maybe I'll just hand them the baby and let them figure it out."

chasingfriends April 13 2008, 02:01:53 UTC

"Seriously." Rayanne said.

chasingangela April 13 2008, 02:02:54 UTC

"... probably not until I go home for the summer," Angela admitted. "They can yell at me then, right?"
