Chapter thirty-seven

Katherine's POV

**

"Wait! Are you sure you can finish all that?"

I looked at obi raised eye brow and back at my plate of food and laughed at him. He doesn't know it or better still; won't believe it if I tell him I can finish all these and still eat some of his lunch if I can have my way at it. Lately,it's either am throwing up or eating my way through a bowl of jollof rice and fried plantain.  Is either this is becoming a new eating habit for me or am quickly turning into a major consumer just like my dad and aunt Nene had always wanted me to be. Anyways, back to the matter at hand!

What was obi saying again??

If I can finish my plate of food when am literally starving? Goodness gracious!

"Yes I can finish all these including yours as well so don't tempt me" glaring at him.

He shrugged at my reply and continued eating.

"I don't know why but you seem to be eating more than usual this days" he murmured.

"That's weird cos Lavi said the same thing yesterday when I tried to eat his lunch after I ate mine" pointing at him

Speaking of Lavi!; it's a miracle he is not stalking me right now. He is more like my personal bodyguard this few days. Not that I mind having him around though. I'm literally craving his presence these days. Obi had to forced me to follow him to the cafeteria and it's only because I was starving.

"Kate?"

"Hmm?" Answering with my mouth full.

"Have you gone for your test result yet?"

My head snapped at his direction the moment the word fell out his mouth. I totally forgot about that damn thing altogether.

Screw me right now.

"I forgot all about it"

"Well go ahead and finish your food and we can go get it" he offered.

"Gosh! You're a life saver"

"Tell me about it princess" smirking at me and earning himself an eye roll from me.

The nurse took longer than necessary to retrieve my result from the lab technician and when she finally did; I thought something was definitely wrong with the look on her face.

"Can you step into my office for a minute miss Joseph"

"Yeah sure but is my result that bad?"

"That's exactly what I will like to discuss with you and in private"

"Okay!"

I felt sick the moment I stepped into her office. It was a small room with a large wooden board by the wall filled with large file holders hanging from each Shelf. I bet it holds record of all the student who attend MAISS.

"Have a seat" pointing towards a black leather arm chair that stood directly opposite her desk.

I settled in quietly with my hands placed on my thighs as I stared back at her with a dry throat and racing heart.

Why the fuck am I scared?

"I called you back here because your case is pretty complicated" her face just as serious.

"Am I gonna die?"

"Far from it Kate...far from it" shooting me a weird look.

I huffed in relief.; what could be more serious than dying?

"But you're pregnant"

Well I take that back. There is something worst than dying and it's getting pregnant at seventeen.

.

.

.

"I'm pre...pre....pre-what?" My voice coming out in total horror.

"You are six weeks pregnant miss Joseph. You see? After checking your vital signs yesterday when you were brought in; I had my suspicions and your test result confirmed it" she continued to explain with a sympathetic look on her face.

Hell...

My pulse is racing and my head won't stop spinning. I can't think straight even. Am literally shaking on my seat at this point.

What the hell does she mean by what she just told me.

I'm pre- what??

Gosh! I can't even say the fucking word even in my head and am supposed to be pregnant??

More hell.

"Are you listening to me miss Joseph?" Her voice called at me snapping me back to reality.

"Should I call your parent or you need time to tell them yourself" she spoke to me again.

"No...no" springing to my feet in a frantic state.

"...you can't tell anyone about this you hear me ? Cos am not what that test result say i am...I'm really not!" Hysterically yelling at her and making sure not to utter the abominable word.

"Calm down okay? I understand if you don't believe me. You can run the test else where! Just be rest assured that you will get the same result whether you accept it or not because you are already six weeks gone" slapping the little brown envelop in front of her desk.

Without thinking; I grasp hold of the little envelop and head out the door only to be greeted by obi searching eyes.

How can I forget he is still here as well?

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Striding towards me.

I'm not okay! I just want to die.

Composing myself to the best of my ability. I counted from one to ten in my head before replying.

"I'm okay! C'mon let go" rushing towards the main exit before he could stop me.

"You don't look okay Kate! What does the result say?" Reaching for the envelop as he picked up the pace beside me.

"I said am fine didn't I? So stop being so nosy will you?" Beating off his hands before he could grab it from me.

"I'm sorry okay?" Throwing his hands in the air in a rather dramatic way..." I'm just trying to be a friend; I didn't realize I was being nosy as well" huffing at me before he quicken his steps from me.

"Wait! I'm sorry please. Didn't mean to be rude" stopping him before he could walk further away from me.

I need a friend right now and I can't afford to loose the only one I have right now.

"I'm just worried about you okay?"

"I know and am sorry for shuuing you like that" I apologized

"Then tell me what the result says will you?" He pleaded.

Can I trust obi at this point? Not yet. I don't know why but I feel like this is all a misunderstanding and will all be sorted out soon and don't have to involve anyone in this just yet.

"I have a stomach virus. All I have to do is pick up some prescription from the pharmacy" I lied.

"Is it like serious? Because you look quite disturbed earlier".

" I was a little frightened I guess?" I shrugged.

"Well if it's nothing serious then let head back to class before lover boy come looking for lover girl" he teased pulling me along.

Oh Lavi! I can't see him right now. I can't even think straight to even tell him anything. What if am really pregnant! What will happen to me, to him- to us and our unborn baby even.

What the heck have we done to ourselves??

Dear God! Please let this be a misunderstanding indeed or this will be the beginning of the very end.
