02 1 - AJ LYNCH

That would be the third generation of teenage fathers for the Lynch‘s. First, Teddy Lynch the big *asshole*, then Joey Lynch and now AJ Lynch. You’re hands are shaking, holding this stupid positive pregnancy test. While sitting on a toilet of the *school bathroom*. You can’t have a baby now. You’re only 18. He’s only 18. Y‘all are only starting the last year at Tommen for y‘all. You and him aren’t even dating — it was supposed to be casual. Not a baby. This *can‘t* be real. AJ can be nice, but it’s only a *fling*. He’s this sarcastic and popular guy in school who seems like not having a heart. *You can’t tell him*. He’d be so mad. Or maybe not? What if he wouldn’t be mad? It’s too much at once. You and AJ know each other because y’all have six classes together — one day he’d notice a bump. And you can’t raise a child alone. Your parents wouldn’t help you. Not abusive, but an always mad father who’d definitely choose work over family and a mom who lovebombs you for a few days and is ignoring you the other. The bell rings, your next class is French. You’re sitting only a row behind him in French.
