STORIES OUT OF SCHOOL Sachi knew pregnancy wasn't going to be easy, but she never knew it would be quite this hard. Not only does she still feel physically unwell, but her frustration over her lack of freedom won't stop eating away at her. All those anxieties finally come to a head in an explosive argument with Takara that throws the future of their relationship into jeopardy. Later, things become even more complicated when a rumor about her pregnancy starts to spread like wildfire around her school. Will Sachi be able to stay and graduate alongside all her friends? Or will all the gossip force her to give up on her dream?

Sachi has decided against an abortion. However, her choice is not without immediate consequences. While she deals with a flood of forms and doctor appointments, Takara is kicked out of his house and juggles multiple jobs to save money for her and their unborn child. In the midst of it all, Sachi's dad shows up out of the blue and promises to take care of everything. But what are his true intentions...?
