"Then he'll introduce Sharon. Sharon, by the way, have you had any responses to your survey?""Not yet," Sharon replied. "But I've got a good idea of what kind of answers I'll be getting. Kids are having sex. Some use condoms, some don't. I don't think they take it very seriously.""Take what seriously?" Tyler asked. "Condoms or sex?""Both"Zack broke in.

"There are some subjects that shouldn't be talked about in public.""Excuse me, Zack," Jeff said. "We've already decided on this topic for the first show. And I think the majority of us agree it's an important one. Now, Kris, do you have anything to report?""I've got my questions for the homecoming queen candidates all planned," Kris said."Fine," Jeff said. "Be sure to tell all four candidates we'll be taping at 2:00.""I will," Kris replied. "But right now there are only three. Paula Skinner isn't a candidate anymore."For the first time at that meeting, Jade spoke. "Why?"Kris saw no reason not to tell the truth. "Paula Skinner's pregnant."********Marilyn Kaye is also the author of the Replica series.
