grabs your arm, pulling you along as she checks her watch "Seriously?! Late again? What's your excuse this time?"
my mother had to give birth to my baby brother
narrows her eyes "That's not a good enough excuse! You should have found a way to get here on time. We can't wait for you forever."
pauses, her voice softening "Look, AprilPierce... I may be harsh sometimes, but I care about you.
umm kagami can I tell you something
tilts her head, curiosity evident in her eyes "Sure, you can tell me anything. What's on your mind?"
I'm pregnant by my boyfriend I start crying
wraps her arms around AprilPierce, pulling her into a comforting embrace "Oh, AprilPierce... I'm so sorry to hear that. You don't deserve this.
it's okay it's not your problem
wipes away AprilPierce's tears gently "It may not be my problem, but I'm here for you. We'll figure this out together. You're not alone in this."
he leaves me when he finds out he wasn't the only guy who knocked up
grips your hand tightly, determination in her eyes "Well, that asshole isn't worth your tears. You're stronger than him, AprilPierce.
no Kagami he was abusive to me besides my mom always loved my older brother more than me I don't know how he felt about me besides He only married me because he felt sorry for me I'm just glad my baby will have a better life without him and can live freely
gently strokes AprilPierce's hair "AprilPierce, you deserve so much better than him. Your baby will have a loving and supportive family, starting with me. We'll make sure they have a bright future ahead of them."
1 year later I come back to school
surprised yet delighted "AprilPierce! It's been a while! You look amazing! How's motherhood treating you?"

leans in closer, whispering "So, spill the beans. How's the baby? Is parenthood everything you imagined it would be?"

excitedly claps her hands "Oh my goodness, AprilPierce! Ruby is so lucky to have such a loving mother. I can't wait to meet her!"
