"Panda are you ok?"
Zac had opened the door to find Panda on his porch. It was obvious that she had ran all the way to his house.
"Zac, do you know about Raine?"
"No what about her?"
"She is gonna have a baby."
"What? Panda come in."
Panda stepped into the living room. The quietness of the house made it evident that no one else was home. Zac sat her down on the couch.
"You ran all the way over here didn't you?"
She only nodded her head.
"Let me get you something to drink."
He walked into the kitchen and returned with two glasses of kool-aid. Panda took a small drink from hers.
"Now what is this about Raine?"
Panda proceded to tell Zac the story about how she discovered Raine's condition.
"She doesn't know who the father is. Man I knew about her and Rodrigo but no one else."
"You knew about her and Rodrigo? Why didn't anyone tell me?"
"Well we don't hang out much anymore, besides Rodrigo told me about this about 6 monthes ago."
"But who else would she sleep with?"
"My thoughts exactly."
"She's leaving tommorrow."
"Where is she going?"
"Maine."
"Maine! Maine! Why the hell is she going to Maine?"
"Her parents are sending her to a group home for teen parents."
Zac banged his head against the wall.
"Why? Why? Why did she have to be so stupid?"
"I don't know Zac."
Panda got up and wrapped her arms around him. He reasted his chin on her head.
"We'll make it throught this Zac, we always make throught the hard times."
He didn't answer and they just stood there like it was the only way to stop the crazy world from taking them over.
