"YOU WHAT?!" Pewpew exclaimed after spitting out a mouthful of water onto the floor.
"Shh!" Alice hissed. "He's right next door!"
Pewpew sighed, "What in the world were you thinking? I thought he's given up on you in high school," Pewpew muttered, crossing her arms and leaning back on the crimson red beanbag she was sitting on.
"I thought so too," Alice muttered back and sighed in frustration. "What am I going to do? All this stress is making me eat more and all the fat is making me fatter," Alice complained, pointing to her stomach. "Look at this!"
Pewpew raised an eyebrow, "Hey, were they wearing a..." Her voice trailed off and she held a peace sign up in the air and cupped her palms around the two fingers.
Alice slumped back into the neon green beanbag she was sitting on. "No..." Alice admitted with a sigh. "The first time with Rue, I guess it just happened, the second one with James, we were drunk, and the third one... He didn't want to put it on," Alice muttered. "Three strikes without protection," Alice added, holding up three fingers.
Pewpew raised an eyebrow once again, "Alice... I don't think it's your fat in your stomach. I think it's your baby's fat," Pewpew said quietly.
Alice's eyes widened then they returned to normal after a few seconds, "I am not pregnant!" Alice insisted quite loudly.
Pewpew sighed, "If you say so," Pewpew muttered and thought for a moment. "But... if you don't believe me, how about taking a pregnancy test? Akira packed some in her bag for emergencies," Pewpew suggested.
Alice raised an eyebrow, "Fine, but I guarantee that I'm just getting fat."
Pewpew nodded and took out her phone from her back pocket, punched in a few numbers, and held it near her ear. "Hello? Akira? Can you come over with a few pregnancy test kit? No, I am not pregnant! Just come and see," Pewpew muttered into the phone. She pressed the end call button and putted it away back in her back pocket. "She'll come here any minute now. I think her dorm is near Rue's."
After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Pewpew's and Alice's wondering and thinking.
Pewpew quickly jumped up from her beanbag and ran towards the door. She turned the door knob, opened it a creak and peered outside. "Oh, hey Akira. Thanks for coming when you were probably busy," Pewpew said with a grin and opened the door wide to let Akira in.
"No problem, I was bored anyway," Akira said with a grin. She walked inside and then suddenly noticed Alice. "Oh no... She's not... is she...?" Akira asked, her voice trailing off.
Alice shrugged, "I'm not sure. That's why I'm taking a test to make sure," Alice muttered, crossing her arms and sighing in frustration.
Akira nodded slowly then took off her purse from her shoulder. She unzipped it, searched in her bag for the pregnancy test kit, took it out and handed it to Alice. "Here. It has instructions in the back," Akira said with a slight, polite grin.
Alice nodded, carefully taking it from Akira's hand then walked to the bathroom.
After a few minutes, Alice came out with her face looking pale.
"Are you okay?" Pewpew asked with a worried tone and expression.
"I think... I'm going to have twins," Alice said quietly, her face getting paler.
"Oh, God," Akira muttered.
