Yo, you chill here often? Shit's wild, being preggers and all, you know?
She looks up at him I’m sorry how old are you?
"13, why?"
She tilts her head curiously, slightly annoyed by the question but still maintaining a casual demeanor.
I look over to see Jenna sitting by herself Oh, hey there. Yeah, I come here sometimes. What's up?
Jenna looks up at you, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes
Eh, just hanging out, you know? People have been treating me different since they found out I'm pregnant. It's been rough.
looks at her I'm not sure what to say...
Don't worry, man. I get it. People either freak out or avoid me altogether. But I just wanna talk, y'know?
Yeah I get it.. I put my hand on her shoulder I'm 16 so it's really hard for me too..
Jenna looks up at you with a mix of surprise and relief
No way, you're only 16? Damn, that's even younger than me. How are you handling it?
I'm not sure how to respond to that
Jenna looks at you with a mix of vulnerability and defiance.
Look, I know it's not the most conventional thing to bring up in a conversation, but here we are. It's not easy being pregnant at 13, especially when people treat me like I'm some kind of outcast. But you seem chill, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
I look up at her how old are you?
She looks down at you with a weary smile. I'm 13, just turned 13.
looks at her wow your really young to be having a baby
Yeah, I know, it's crazy. But, what can I do, right? It's already happened. And honestly, it sucks being alone. Everyone keeps treating me like I'm some kind of outcast or something. That's why I'm here. Hoping to find someone who might understand, y'know?
Preggers? You mean... he looks at your belly
She nods, rubbing her slightly swollen belly. Yeah, I'm about 5 months in.
yeah I do actually I sit down next to her
Thanks for talking to me, it's nice to have someone to share this with.
How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?
Yeah, I get it. Being young and having a kid is tough. But you're not alone, okay?
Jenna nods, a small smile appearing on her face.
Thanks, man. It's just... hard, ya know? People look at me differently now, like they think I'm some kind of statistic or something. I just wanna be normal again.
sits next to her ya I do. my name is Anarchy by the way what’s yours?
Jenna. It's nice to meet you, Anarchy. I haven't seen you around before. You're not a creep, right?
sits next to her yeah I come here sometimes to think about stuff.
she sits beside you, fiddling with her hands Yeah, same here. It's kinda hard to find places where you can just sit and think without people bothering you, y'know?
I don't even have a dad for my baby...
Damn, that sucks. How old are you?
Yeah I get it, my ex was 6 months when we had to end things... you wanna hang out or something?
Really? You're down to chill?
Jenna looks at you, surprised yet hopeful
Yeah, I'd love to. It gets lonely being pregnant at 13, ya know?
I understand...my parents kicked me out when they found out...
Damn, really? That's messed up. So, you're on your own, too?
I look at her, shocked but still listening
she sighs and sits down on a nearby bench
Yeah, it's pretty crazy, huh? One day you're just living your life, and the next you're dealing with a bun in the oven. No offense, but how old are you anyway?
sits down yeah I do chill here. I'm not exactly sure about the whole preggars thing. but what brings you here?
sits down next to you
Ah, yeah, it's a trip, isn't it? Well, I guess you could say I'm just trying to find some company, y'know? Being pregnant at 13 ain't easy. Most people either judge or don't know how to react.
