The next evening, Erika was preparing for prom, she wore her pink long off shoulder frill body-con dress, a glamour style make up and had her hair blow dry. She looked at herself in the mirror to see how she looked and felt beautiful.

She fixed her dress a little until she saw her tummy and started touching it, rubbing it gently trying to feel the difference if it was growing, she turned to the side to check if it was showing.

"IT'S PROM NIGHT!" Chris shrieked as she barged in Erika's room wearing her prom dress, aqua colored floor-length sweetheart neckline with swarovski strap, up-do hairstyle and matching clutch and shoes.

"Hi, Chris." Erika stopped what she was doing out of reaction and looked at her best friend.

"Hey! I thought you're gonna wear the shoes you bought in the boutique."

"Oh! I just thought this looks better."

"Okay," Chris cringed because she thought otherwise. "You do look gorgeous."

"You too, your dress goes with your eyes."

"You think so? I didn't notice, are you ready?"

"Yeah!"

"Let's take a selfie first." Chris took out her phone, she and Erika began taking few pictures of themselves. "We look good. Post and tag. Okay, let's go, Kyle and Trevor are already waiting in the limo."

Prom night in a function room in a hotel, the dim party lights, the mixture of fun party and teen romance, DJ playing their music, chaperones were watching the students, some kids were dancing, the others, were just chilling at the side or at the table and taking pictures of themselves then posted them in social media.

Erika, Chris, Trevor and Kyle were out of the dance floor, then went back to their seats when they got tired. "Do you want me to get you some punch?" Kyle asked his girlfriend.

"Sure," Chris said.

"I'll go with you. I think I'll get one myself," Trevor said to Kyle. "What about you, E? Do you want one too?"

"No thanks, none for me," Erika answered.

"Oh okay." Trevor walked to the buffet table with Kyle.

"Are you okay?" Chris asked because she sensed something was up.

"Yeah," Erika replied but her voice got high. "Ahem... I just prefer to drink water," she grabbed the glass of water on the table and drank it. She had fun that she almost forgotton what happened in Trevor's party and the fact that she was pregnant. She was hiding it well so far.

"Attention, everyone, may I have your attention, it's time to declare prom king and queen," the host asked as he stood on the stage, the music slowly stopped and the seniors with their date faced to him.

"I hope it's me and Kyle. We were nominated," Chris whispered. "Or maybe you and... Oh! right."

"That's alright, I don't even care anymore," Erika sighed.

"This year's prom king, Michael Heinus!" Everyone cheered and applauded at Mikey, he was walked to the stage and stood next to the host.

"Ugh... Whhhyyy him?" Chris grumbled to have the varsity playboy got the title prom king.

"And the prom queen for our handsome prom king, Erika Row!" the host added.

"What!?" Erika was shocked since she did not expect that.

"Oh! my God, get up there!" her best friend squeeled happily.

"Erika Row!" the host called again. "Are you here?"

"Come on, get up there."

Erika reluctantly went to the stage then stood beside Mikey who was smiling from ear-to-ear. They were given the crowns and put them on each other's heads. After that, their pictures were about to be taken.

Meanwhile, Trevor had to watch her crush with another guy had their picture taken just because they were the prom king and queen.

"You okay, man?" Kyle asked his heart broken friend.

"Yeah," Trevor choked. "It's not like I'm her date, right?" Kyle just gave him a reassuring smile, and patted his shoulder to comfort him.

Anywho, the prom queen felt something wrong with that touch from Mikey because it was uncomfortable yet it was unfamiliar, "Alright, your prom king and queen! now, it's time for the prom king and queen dance, you all are welcome to join them," the host said.

Mikey gave his arm and Erika clinged to it. They walked back to the dancefloor as the music got slow so they and everyone including, Chris and Kyle, began slow dancing.

It was the two of them in the center. Erika and Mikey danced together just for the sake of tradition. She had no idea that she was dancing with the devil, "For a prom queen, you don't seem happy about it," Mikey said to her.

"I'm sorry, it's just that," Erika huffed.

"I'm not Shay. I get yah."

"Mikey..."

"It's cool, but let's just do this... until this song is over."

Erika just smiled and nodded at him in response. Few minutes later, the song was almost over, and she felt nauseas again, "Uhm... Mikey, I just have to go to the restroom," she hurled, then pulled away from him, and rushed out of the dancefloor.

Moment after, she managed to get to restroom, and started vomitting in the toilet bowl. Chris followed her and got inside, "Erika? Erika?" she called. "You okay?"

"Yeah," the poor girl moaned.

"Are you sure? You don't sound okay."

Erika flushed the toilet and went out the the stall. "I'm fine," she insisted.

Chris saw that she looked pale, her hair was a mess, she was having cold sweats and could barely stand. "Did you just threw up?" she asked.

"Yeah... But it's nothing," Erika walked passed her to get to the sink, she started washing her hands and her face.

"Are you sure that everything is okay?"

"Yeah... I think it's something I ate."

"No, you've been acting weird lately."

"I'm fine, just go back to the party. Kyle must be waiting for you."

"Come on, tell me, what's going on?" Chris urged her best friend to reply. "Are you pregnant?"

"Shhh..... Jesus!"

"YOU ARE?!" Chris reacted.

Erika looked outside if anyone they knew heard it. "Yes, I am! Now can you please lower your voice?"

"Sorry... I'm just... I just don't believe it, when did you find out?"

"Couple of days ago."

"It... it.. it all made sense. The fainting, the clinic, the pizza, the smelling and now this. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I don't want it," Erika whined. "Lucky for me, I can get rid of it."

"Get rid of it?" Chris choked at her decision.

"Yeah, my Mom found out what happened to me few days ago, and she knows that I'm pregnant too."

"Woah, woah, back up. You mean you're getting an abortion?"

"Of course, I can't be carrying a baby when I'm going to the most prestigious dancing school in the world."

"Right," her best friend stammered like she was not happy to hear that.

"Oh gosh, I look like crap." Erika looked at herself in the mirror. "I feel like crap too."

"Wow, you okay? You are starting to sweat."

"Maybe I should call my Mom to pick me up."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, I might puke on the punch bowl," Erika snickered.

"Good idea, I'll stay until your Mom arrives," Chris replied.

Later, Trevor just got out of the toilet and saw the two girls by the entrance of the hotel so he walked towards them, "Erika? Chris? You guys leaving?" he asked them.

"Just me" Erika clarified.

"Oh! why? The night is still young," he joked. "I'm just kidding. Are you okay?"

"Uh..." Chris uttered.

"Well... you already know what happened to me, so I might as well tell you," Erika sighed.

"What is it?" Trevor quipped.

"I'm pregnant."

The boy was wide-eyed. "You're are!"

"Shhh..." Chris told him to keep quiet. They looked around if there was any of their classmates were there. "Yes, now swear you shut your mouth."

"Yeah... yeah... Sorry," he whispered he bent closer to them because he was a bit taller than them. "Seriously?"

"Yup," Erika nodded. "Sorry that I couldn't stay long for you, Trev."

"Don't worry about." Trevor gave her a gentle smile. "I'm just glad that you came with me here. I mean... Us. Like me, Chris and Kyle."

Erika smiled back to him then all of sudden, her mother arrived with the car. "My mom is here, I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye."

Once, she was back home in her room, already in her pajamas, she was staring at the Eliard pamphlet and was upset at the fact that she might not be able to go this fall because of an unwanted pregnancy,

The aspiring ballerina faced the mirror again looking at her tummy, "I know you had nothing to do with it but there is so much I want to do and I can't have you in it," she talked to her unborn baby.

"What your... that guy did to me is unforgivable, I'm not sure if I want to know who really did that to me and... I can't promise if I can even like you... I'm sorry." She started crying after that.

In Shay's house, Mame was watching TV in their living room, it was a sports news channel "this is what we've been waiting for," the reporter said. "The new members of Super Tundra."

"Oh! here it is," Mame was getting anxious.

"Dave Garrick, Lucas Moreno." They were showing the pictures of the new members. "And last but not the least".

"Please, please, please." She crossed her fingers.

"Duke Shay." They showed his face in TV, Mame was screaming her lungs off that the boy she took care since he was a kid became a soccer star. "Congratulation to these new Super Tundra members, we'll get to know more of them in the presscon and also in the match, this is Rick Worth signing out."

Suddenly, Mame's phone started ringing, she answered it, "Duke! you got in! you got in!" she screeched on the phone.

Shay was calling from a hotel in Europe with his dad while Rome too was making calls about his soccer star son, "yeah, I got in!" he exclaimed.

"I'm so proud of you, I always knew you'll get in."

"Thank you for believing in me, Mame. Anyway, I got to go, I'll talk to you soon," Shay out down the phone and saw his dad was still talking on his so then he went to Facebook and saw the news about him along with what was happening in prom.

He scrolled through to see what was it looked like until he saw Chris, Kyle and Trevor's posted photos that had Erika in it, he was awestruck at how she looked there that he forgotten what she said to him, he looked at more picture of her and seems like she was doing fine without him though he in his mind, he wished that he was there with her.

"Duke," his dad called him so loud that he almost dropped his phone.

"Yeah, dad?"

"Come on, lets go out and celebrate."

"Yeah, sure, Dad."
