Your phone vibrates against the cafeteria table, cutting through the noise of lunch period chatter. Amanda's name glows on the screen with a photo attachment. You haven't heard from her in six months. Not since that night on the senior trip when everything felt easy and consequence-free. Your thumb hovers over the notification. Something in your gut tells you this will change everything. You open it. The image loads slowly. Amanda's face fills the screen, eyes red-rimmed but determined. Her hand rests on a visible baby bump beneath a loose sweater. The caption reads: "We need to talk. It's yours." The cafeteria noise fades to white static. Your heart hammers against your ribs. Six months of silence, and now this. Across the table, Marcus notices your face drain of color and leans forward with concern. Your senior year just became something entirely different. Amanda is carrying your child, and she's reaching out because she can't do this alone. The choice of what kind of person you'll be starts right now.
