Chapter n°5 - (un)expected news

Hey guys,

I'm sorrry that it's been a while since I uploaded my last post, but I'm on holiday right now and I really enjoy the free time! Days without studying or homework. Only doing things I like! I guess everybody/ every teenager can relate to this, don't you? :)

Today I've got something special for you. Okay, it's not really special, but I've never posted something like this before. It's a phone dialogue.
The task is one of the optionals our teacher gave us.

At first some information about what happens in chapter 5:

On his sixteenth birthday Sam receives a text message that says:

"I NEED 2 C U URGENT Axx." (p.71, ll.28f)

Alicia sent this message and even it's Sam's birthday, he agrees meeting her. Because it seemes to be really important and because Alicia wants to meet him absolutely this day, Sam thinks about what she could tell him.

One of his thoughts is that Alicia could tell him she's pregnant and how could it be otherwise? Alicia starts the conversation with telling Sam that she's late with her periode.
Remember the post I talked about Sam and Alicia being intimate? This already showed a bit what's going to happen, doesn't it? I expected her telling this haha.
So the two plan to buy a pregnancy test to know it for sure. Before they get to do this, they notice that they haven't got enough money to buy one, so Alicia walks home to get more. In the meantime Sam runs away. Later that day my fictional phone dialogue takes place:

A - Alicia
S - Sam


A: Sam! What did you do? Why did you run away??
S: Alicia, I'm sorry...I...

*Alicia interrupts him*

A: You can't do this to me! I can't deal with this alone.
S: Alicia, you have to understand that for me it's very much to deal with too and... It's a complete new situation.
A: You don't even want to know the results of the test?? You're not...?

*Sam interrupts Alicia*

S: I'm more than interested and excited! There are just so many questions in my head which become reality if you'd tell me that you're...that you're definitly pregnant.
A: You can't imagine what's going on in my head!! But it seems like we have to deal with this now - with this new situation.
S: So...you mean? It's real??
A: It is! Sam, it is! Are you happy to hear it? Or...I don't know how to feel. I'm scared...
S: I know what you want to say! I'm feeling exactly the same! What will happen to us? We are going to be parents! Alicia...Is it going to change me?? Am I going to be okay? Your parents will probably kill me! And what's with college? I want to end college... I already thought about these questions at Starbucks but I didn't want to ask because it sounded so selfish and...
A: Sam! Stop for a second! My head is filled with those questions aswell and it feels like they're overwhelming me. But what can I do? There's a little baby inside me and isn't it something beautiful?
S: Yes, could be, but...
A: Sam, what do you think about coming over, so we can talk in person??
S: Yeah. It's probably the best.
A: Thanks! See you soon. Bye.
S: Bye.


I hope you enjoyed reading!
