"...You ate her!?" You don't know which aspect you were more hoping Mom would miss. You certainly don't want her thinking you are a slut who just hops into bed with a boy she has just met. But her thinking you are some devouring monster is no prize either. Well, you can explain things..a little anyway.

"Rickie is fine and healthy, no danger at all." [Well, that is kinda an exaggeration. He is just about certain to be digested by somebody, quite possibly you, within a year, but it probably won't be today.] "I said they have all sorts of stuff for keeping people from being digested, and there are ways for getting people out in one piece too, so it's really like I'm a flesh sleeping bag."

"But I was hoping the tests were wrong..."

"Me too, but we both knew the tests are not wrong often, and they say they can train me so I won't do anything nasty like eat that gossip Aggie."

"Gia! Don't even say such a thing!"

"Sorry, but it's what we have to live with. I'm going to be tempted by most people within reach all my life, and all I can do is learn to restrain it."

"Don't you think you should...ah..let your roommate out?"

"Not now. Richie is taking a nap." You hear a chuckle from your belly, which confirms your basic position that he is ok inside you, tho threating to expose your lie. For a second, you fear Mom has heard, but that seems unlikely. A more serious fear is that he might think it funny to start screaming to be let out. Boys can have a weird sense of humor at times. Fortunately Rickie seems to have at least a tiny grain of common sense and keeps quiet. "Maybe a little later."
"So how are things at home?" You are not that interested, but it should keep her off sensitive matters.

It does, for a couple of minutes. But eventually she returns to the sore point. "Is eating people like this normal there?"

"Pretty much. The school secretary ate me almost as soon as I arrived."

"She what?! She attacked you?"

"Well, she did ask me first, and promised to let me out again, but I suppose she would have eaten me even if I had said no. Nobody seemed to think anything about it."

"But..."

At this point your door bangs open. "Rick! I just heard you got sent here too! That's..." The girl in the doorway [the Becky Rickie mentioned?] notices you, and your huge belly, and trails off.

"Something's come up Mom. Talk to you later." As you quickly hang up, you hope she didn't the girl too clearly, but you have to deal with the current crisis first. If this is Becky, she is likely not going to approve of you eating her boyfriend.
