??:??pm

Got an earful from mama that day, which meant I was grounded home school school home type shit. I couldn't even go out. Von and JJ was still taunting me giving me looks and shi. A few weeks had passed by and I wasn't feeling so well. Lunchtime rolled round and I wasn't feeling any better.

Ari and Asia headed to the mall but I had to stay behind cause of punishment, the food smelled horrible so I ran to the bathroom to throw up. I threw my guts out which kinda felt good. I hope I keep this up so I won't have to stick. My fingers down there in my throat.

I quickly wipe my mouth and wash my hands. I turn to leave the bathroom and as soon as I get out, I bump into someone. I look up and my oh my; it was my man. Trell. I smiled gums and all happy to see him but he definitely wasn't happy to see me. "You and I need to talk" he said, looking down at me. What did Von and JJ tell him? And Why does he look so angry?

Maybe he just faking it, I hoped. I shyly followed him and we entered an empty classroom. He pulled the blinds on the door down and walked past me to do the same to the windows. Is he tryna fuck? In here? That's a but much for me, but for Trell, I'll do anythin-

"What the fuck did you do to me Ho?" He asked pissed. I flinch at his angry tone and step back a lil. "Nothing. I just kissed you on the cheek. Like I told Von and JJ." I lied. I got a feeling way back that he really didn't know what happened that night nor did he know what he was doing, or who he was doing. So, I decided to keep it to myself and tell him when we get married.

He looked me up and down before saying "These lil looks you been giving me these past weeks are bugging me tf out. You look at me like that one mo time and imma bust yo teeth in, in front of every and anybody. You hurr me?" He spits out. I nod slowly and look down sad. Ion know he being so mean to me, we used to be so cool.

I know what happened that night was real. The way he looked at me, how he caressed me. That, that was all real. He just need time to accept it, that's all. He pushes past me and slams the door open and shut, leaving me there. Alone and sad. I take a deep sigh and exit the room myself, not wanting to stay there any longer. I had a free period so I made my way to the library so study for my midterms.

I reach there and roll my eyes when I see who was there. My idiot brothers. Ion know why they insist on coming to the library knowing damn well, they can read for shit. They both got full rides to Howard for sport so ion know why they fake studying, like go play yo sport and leave the books to me.

They notice me walk through and make the presence known to me. "Yo fatass just loves following us. Don't chu?" Lo said. Von stood up, chuckling and shaking the bag of wingstop in his hand "Bitch goes where the food is. But seriously, how did know we got food in here?" He genuinely looked confused.

"I didn't. I got a free period and came to study." I said rolling my eyes, but not too much tho. They'd roll em back for me, trust me when I say it's not a pleasant experience. They both nod and out they hands out "Cmon y'all I need this money for afterschool. I ain't eat all day" I groan. They do this all the time, they call it the big back tax.

I could see they weren't budging so I just give in. I'll eat when I get home, if I make it alive, "Preciate it. Now get tf on. Fo' I make you " Lo says, looking at me all serious and shi. I kept walking and found a place to sit and do some work. I decided to start with my chem work, I ain't smart in much but there something about chem that just gets me fired up.

Miss Adam's says I have a chance to do AP chem next year, which I'm so excited for. I've been thinking about doing it for college too. I've won a few science competitions so I got the experience. I'm so excited for it. I open my books and get to doing my homework.

Once done, I get up and start packing, ready to go home. I've been hungrier than usual so I'm ready to get tf outta here and eat me some lasagna. I tried a new recipe last night and it turned out bomb so I wanna rush home and get a plate or two before my brothers get they hands on it.

The bell rings and I quickly rush out leaving my brothers and they mess behind. I rush to get onto the bus and get to the back of it, not wanting to gain any attention. But that wish never and will never come true. As soon as I sat down, I'm met with the classics "Fee fi fo fum" "getcho fatass on" "Dang she ugly ah fuck" "Somebody smells like shi!!" Like come up with something else. These insults are getting old, but that don't mean they sting any less, unfortunately....

Finally, after a long ass ride, I reach home, leaving them cruel ass niggas behind. I rush to the kitchen and pull the lasagna outta the oven. It was still kinda full, letting me know Mama ain't even. She was prolly tired and went straight to bed. These night shifts got her in a headlock.

I pull out a plate to save her some on the side and then pull out a container and dump the lasagna into a foil dish. I put it in the oven and in the meantime, put some garlic bread in the microwave whilst I snack on some Takis. They were Von's but I don't give a fuck. He always find something to shout at me fo so I might as well give him a real reason to be mad at my big ass.

Finally, my food all warmed up and I place the garlic bread on top on it along with some extra cheese. I grab a bottle of Fanta and some extra snacks and head on upstairs to my room. I reach upstairs and sat on my bed ready to eat. I put aside the main meal and start with my lil snacks, I open up a pack of chips and I'm hit with this weird smell. Shi smelled horrible like rotten fish or bouncethatass.com.

I felt my stomach curdle so I threw the chips in the near side bin, hoping my stomach would settle but boy was I wrong. I started feeling something come up so I ran to the bathroom, I put my head in the basin and start emptying all the contents outta my mouth. I felt confused as fuck cause those my favourite type of chips; they ain't never made me do that.

I sit near the bowl of my toilet and pull out my phone to see why I been throwing up so much and why things I used to like smell like shit rn. Like is this second puberty or some shi? I ain't know losing my virginity was gon make me hate my honey bbq lays.

I search on the internet my symptoms and I'm shook at the results. Pregnant? Me? I can't be. Yh we had sex but he ain't nut. in. me....oh shit. HE DID!

Fuck! I scramble back to my room and pull out my hidden stash of cash and head on downstairs, I quickly looked around to see if anybody was home or if mama was down yet but nada. So I slowly sneak out to head to CVS. I made it to the bus stop and my mind couldn't stop racing.

If I am pregnant, what tf I'm gon do?

After a long wait for the bus, I finally get on and make my way to the back. I got a few stares here and there but it was nothing new. After a few stops, I hopped off the bus and made my way inside CVS.

I put my coat hoodie up so that no one could see me and kept me head down too. I walked over to the pregnancy test counter and was shook by the prices. 15$??? For one?? These mofos is crazy. I shake my head and look around for the cheapest one. I found a brand at the bottom for 5$ and grabbed 3 just in case two of em wrong.

I walked over to the counter with my head all the way down and slid the cashier my items along with a 20$ bill. I could feel they eyes judging me through the fabric of my hoodie, so as soon as I head the till ping I grabbed my shit and ran tf outta there. Ion need no one judging me more than I already am.

After what felt like forever, I finally make it back home and into my bathroom. I shut the door and read the instructions, praying and hoping for a single line. I pee on all three and sit waiting for the results. I pray to God, I ain't pregnant. But if I was that don't sound like a bad thing, right?

Trell will fall in love with our baby and then me. I think. Hopefully. I don't know.

I get outta my head and flip over each stuck with my eyes closed. I slowly open em and I'm shook by what I see...
