Kyle
Kyle
What did the stick say?
Kyle
Kyle
Come on, Ang. Talk to me.
Angie
Angie
It’s positive — I’m pregnant.
Kyle
Kyle
Angie
Angie
Kyle?
Kyle
Kyle
I love you.
Kyle
Kyle
This doesn’t change anything.
Angie
Angie
How can you say that?
Angie
Angie
My dad is getting sworn in as the President today.
Angie
Angie
And his underage, unmarried daughter is knocked up.
Angie
Angie
Do you realize what his opponents can do with that?
Kyle
Kyle
You know I do. My family’s been playing the political game way longer than yours has.
Angie
Angie
Yeah, I know, sorry.
Angie
Angie
I just don’t even know how to process this.
Angie
Angie
I have so many plans for my future—
Angie
Angie
So many things I’ve been working toward.
Angie
Angie
And “teen mom” is just NOT on that list.
Kyle
Kyle
I know.
Angie
Angie
You can’t tell me this doesn’t change everything for us, because it does.
Kyle
Kyle
Don’t worry. We’ll take care of this.
Angie
Angie
I can’t talk right now.
Angie
Angie
My stylist is here.
Kyle
Kyle
Look, I know this is unexpected and scary.
Kyle
Kyle
But try to put this out of your mind and have fun today.
Kyle
Kyle
How many times do you get to be the star of an Inauguration Parade?
Angie
Angie
My dad’s the star.
Angie
Angie
I’m just a doll who’s supposed to sit there and look pretty in the background.
Kyle
Kyle
You’re more than that, Ang, and you know it.
Kyle
Kyle
You’re Thorn Hollow’s Senior Class President…
Kyle
Kyle
A future Supreme Court Justice…
Kyle
Kyle
And MY future First Lady.
Angie
Angie
You can’t promise me any of that.
Angie
Angie
And I’d rather not be reminded of the life I could’ve had right now, thx.
Angie
Angie
Because it isn’t going to happen.
Kyle
Kyle
Maybe it still can.
Angie
Angie
Yeah, right.
Kyle
Kyle
What if I told you I was part of a secret society?
Kyle
Kyle
One that specialized in making people’s political aspirations come true?
Angie
Angie
What do you mean?
Kyle
Kyle
They call themselves the Source.
Angie
Angie
Is this a joke?
Kyle
Kyle
No.
Angie
Angie
Why are you telling me this?
Kyle
Kyle
Because I think they can help us.
Angie
Angie
I have to go.
Kyle
Kyle
Just think about it.
Kyle
Kyle
One broken condom doesn’t have to completely derail our plans.
Angie
Angie
Easy for you to say. You’re not the one who’s pregnant.
Kyle
Kyle
No, but I’m in this with you.
Kyle
Kyle
Whatever happens — whatever we decide to do about this—
Kyle
Kyle
You aren’t alone.
Angie
Angie
Thanks. Still really scary, tho.
Kyle
Kyle
I know. I love you.
Angie
Angie
I love you too.
Later that afternoon, during the Inauguration Parade, Angie gets a text from Kyle.
Kyle
Kyle
I reached out to the Source.
Kyle
Kyle
There’s a doctor who’s been a member since he was at Thorn Hollow.
Kyle
Kyle
He can take care of it discreetly.
Kyle
Kyle
No one will ever have to know you were pregnant.
Angie
Angie
You mean an abortion?
Kyle
Kyle
Isn’t that what you want?
Angie
Angie
I don’t know.
Angie
Angie
Why would they even set something like that up for us?
Kyle
Kyle
Let’s just say they’ve invested a lot of time and money in me.
Angie
Angie
Nope, sorry. You’re going to need to give me more than that.
Angie
Angie
I’m not even sure I believe any of this.
Kyle
Kyle
Ang, I’ve never lied to you. I wouldn’t start now.
Angie
Angie
I know.
Kyle
Kyle
Look, the Source has been grooming me for years.
Kyle
Kyle
They think I’ll be the perfect presidential candidate and promised to make it happen.
Kyle
Kyle
But it’ll be pretty impossible if I become a dad at 17.
Angie
Angie
Kyle, I just found out I’m pregnant this morning.
Angie
Angie
I haven’t even had time to wrap my head around it.
Angie
Angie
I’m not going to do anything until I’ve had time to think it through.
Kyle
Kyle
Okay. I’m not trying to pressure you, but we don’t have a lot of time.
Kyle
Kyle
This doesn’t have to change anything.
Kyle
Kyle
All of your future plans—
Kyle
Kyle
Everything you’ve been working toward—
Kyle
Kyle
It can all still happen.
Kyle
Kyle
The Source can MAKE it happen.
Kyle
Kyle
And no one will ever have to know this was even an issue.
Kyle
Kyle
Just think about it, okay?
Angie
Angie
Ok.
An hour into the parade…
Angie thumbs through her contacts, pausing on her friend Will’s name.
Angie
Angie
I need to tell you something.
Will
Will
Aren’t you supposed to be on TV right now?
Angie
Angie
I am. Aren’t you watching?
Will
Will
No, I’m in class.
Will
Will
We don’t drop everything to watch the Inauguration like they do in D.C.
Angie
Angie
I need to tell you something.
Angie
Angie
But you have to promise you won’t tell anyone, ever.
Angie
Angie
Swear on our friendship that you’ll take this secret to your grave.
Will
Will
Maybe you shouldn’t tell me.
Angie
Angie
Because you won’t keep my secret?
Will
Will
No, because it sounds like you’ll be stressed for the rest of your life if you tell anyone.
Will
Will
Including me.
Angie
Angie
I have to talk to someone, and I don’t have anyone else I can trust.
Will
Will
And you still trust me?
Angie
Angie
Yes.
Will
Will
You realize you haven’t texted me in months, right?
Angie
Angie
Isn’t that the point of best friends?
Angie
Angie
That we can pick up right where we left off?
Will
Will
Yeah, I guess.
Angie
Angie
Look, I’m sorry.
Angie
Angie
I know I should’ve been better at keeping in touch.
Angie
Angie
Things just got so…crazy here.
Will
Will
You don’t have to apologize. It’s not like I’ve been texting you either.
Will
Will
It’s hard to keep up when your best friend moves to another state.
Will
Will
Even harder when she becomes the president’s daughter as it’s happening.
Angie
Angie
Tell me about it.
Will
Will
Alright, hit me with the secret.
Angie
Angie
You *promise* you won’t say anything?
Will
Will
I promise.
Angie
Angie
Will
Will
Angie, talk to me.
Angie
Angie
Sorry, it’s just…
Angie
Angie
This is big.
Angie
Angie
And now that I’m the First Daughter, people will pay a lot of money for my secrets.
Will
Will
You know me better than that.
Will
Will
I would never say anything.
Angie
Angie
I know.
Angie
Angie
I miss you.
Will
Will
You’re starting to freak me out.
Will
Will
What’s going on?
Angie
Angie
I’m pregnant.
Angie
Angie
…and I’m pretty sure I want to keep the baby.
