Chapter 1

The first chapter. I will edit it soon :)

  Brent hasn't called me today, which I find weird. He normally always calls me at precisely nine o'clock. It is nine thirteen, according to the clock on my computer screen. And he hasn't called.

  I am on my MSN account, browsing through my contacts. No one is online which I also find strange because when I am online at this time normally everyone is on.

  After staring at my MSN for about two minutes, I go on iTunes and browse through my extremely long music library.

  I find Basket Case by Green Day, press play, then throw my head back and stare at my phone. It starts ringing and I leap over to it and press the talk button.

  "Hello?" I ask. Please be Brent, please be Brent, please be..

  "What's up Venus?" I hear a voice say which is not Brent's. It is Kim, my best friend ever since the sandbox. 

  I sigh, almost feeling disappointed. "Hey, Kim", I say, in a monotone sounding voice.

  "Someone is happy to hear my voice", she says, being sarcastic. "So, I kind of have to tell you something."

  I pause the music and ask, "what is it?"

  Kim hesitates, which is very un-Kim like. What happened?

  "I'm pregnant", she says slowly. 

  I nearly choke on..well, I nearly choke on spit. "Seriously?" I ask her. "Oh my God, who is the Dad? Are you gonna keep it? Who else knows? What is going to happ-."

  "Venus!!" Kim interrupts with a loud yell. I fall silent.

  Kim takes a long breathe in and says slowly, "Brent is the father."

  Time feels like it stopped. No. No! This has to be a joke. This is a giant nightmare. I will wake up and smile and go to school and make out with Brent in the hallways and laugh with Kim. 

  "What do you mean?" I ask, in a small timid voice. 

  She sighs and then chuckles. "Brent and I are dating now, Venus", she tells me. "We can't be friends."

  The world crashes down. I feel my eyes become wet and my hand grip around the phone. 

  "Oh", I say softly. "W-we can still be friends! I-i just becau-."

  "No, Venus", Kim interrupts me, again. "We can't be friends."

  Then I hear the phone click, and her words echo in my ears.

  Well, screw them! I can find way better friends! Yeah, I can have a million of friends!! I can be the most popular girl at school.

  Who needs them?

  I slam the phone down on the receiver and browse my iTunes library until I find a song that is perfect for this certain occasion; Becky by Be Your Own Pet.

  I press play and sing along with Jemina Pearl:

  "BFF and you're such a good friend

  but I knew it couldn't last 'til summer's end

  you signed my yearbook and that was pretty rad

  but now I'm getting sick of you and it's just too bad

  I heard you talked a lot of s**t about me

  to your new best friend 

  It doesn't matter anyways

  'cause I've found a brand new friend, okay

  me and her we'll kick your a*s 

  we'll wait with knives after class."

O.o
What a nice way to tell your best friend that her boyfriend is the father of your child. Wonderful.
Nice job for a first chapter. Slightly short, but that's okay. Very well done, Venus sounds like a good character.

I really like this. I can relate to it. A lot. Things happen for reasons that can't be explained. you worded the emotions so well. I teared up reading this.
