Mareena Stokes
Mare and Dan have been friends for a long time. He is closer to her than some of her closest friends. You can say she is being so emotional because of the baby, but there were simpler times. Where half of her friends weren’t gone from her life someway and everyone was happy… well somewhat happy at least. Tala and Aline were still her best friends. Elias and Laurel were still there being the best siblings she could’ve asked for and where all of her friends would constantly be hanging out whether in large or small groups. Especially during summer. The memories she shared with all these people make her really hope some of them she won’t forget even if some of those memories she hopes she does forget. Mare swirled her straw in the drink as she thought about all of this. Gah, she was getting to nostalgic and she noticed it. So she took a larger sip of her mock tail… even if she really deeply wished it could be the real thing.
Mareena shrugged, giving a slight wave dismissing the thought,”No, it’s alright. People would find out eventually, maybe I can pull the pregnancy card to have them do something for me?” She suggested before continuing,”Or is it too early for that?” A small and quiet laugh escaped her lips. She will so be using that all the time i’m the next few months. Work smarter, not harder. Just as she was about to speak up at Dan’s comment, she was hushed since he started to speak again. Her eyes widened as she cracked a smile at his goofiness. Although she was the one that had her hands almost halfway up to her ears. Eventually supposed to cover them like a child would. “Yeah, uh, no i’m good. I think i’ve got a pretty good idea on how. It’s nice that you think i’m so innocent though.” She remarked. Mare bit back another large smile from showing when he talked about the names. “Oh, i can assure you that there will be an N in their names… just for you?” Even if he wasn’t being serious, it was still and would be funny if this actually happened. “I’d rather it not be from prison or jail, but if it, or whatever you call an unborn baby, does thank you. Preferably you save them when they are drunk because I better not be expecting a wake up call.” She teased, being half serious.
How are you feeling? Well isn’t that the real question. If she was being honest, bad. Not even from the baby besides the stress. She had enough stress already then… Aline and a baby. Just chuck that all the way on top of the pile. Let alone college. Mare already had a few lined up. Thank god for junior year. She didn’t show it much, but her grades were important to her. Even if she wasn’t Dan smart, she was still up there somewhere. She took a moment to contain her breath before speaking,”I, uhm- I’ll be fine. Not very good now, but i’ll be fine.”She gave a somewhat reassuring smile. Was she okay? She didn’t really know. “I do still plan on getting out of here, but I think I will take a gap year. Maybe go out and travel with Theo? Until you know, the baby has to be delivered. It should be enough time, considering i’ve gone over this in my head for the hundredth time. I’m thinking NYU, but i have more to choose from still.” She sighed that was another stress factor. Mare smiled with him,”Thanks, i’ll make sure to take full advantage of that,”She gave a playful wink before looking down as he poked her stomach, causing a light laugh come from her. Ok that was cute.
