Flashback[]
Cindy Hayes[]
In a flashback, we see Cindy having sex with a guy named Curtis in the locker room. Curtis is saying that Cindy's breasts got bigger, (a common effect of pregnancy). They are interrupted by a group of guys. They ask why it's so dark in here and one of them says it's because they were having sex. Curtis gets mad when one of the guy makes fun of his girlfriend, Jasmine. He pushes him and leaves. The other follow. Cindy begins to clean up when she touches her stomach. She stands and grabs a jacket to put on over her sweatshirt, feeling her stomach.
Cindy is sitting on her bed as her sister, Joy, packs for her trip to go to Michigan. That's where she's gonna go to have her baby. Her sister tells her that she needs to tell them who the baby daddy is. Cindy says no because she likes him and doesn't want to ruin it. Her dad walks in and tells her that lying doesn't do her any good. Cindy says that she's not lying just not telling him what he doesn't need to know. Her dad asks who the baby's father is but her mother interrupts them.
Cindy fails to be responsible and take care of her baby. Instead of helping, she just turns up the volume on her walkman and leaves.
