The Sweetest Fruit ( Tomboy 🏳️‍🌈Love Story )

43. ABC Method

Sonia

I hand Mrs Lucy my exam sheet. She smiles happily and I don't mind but smile back. She has been so kind to me I don't know how to thank her. If it was Mr Martin he would be scrutinizing my answers with a magnifying glass looking for a way for me to get kicked out.

"Have a nice day Sonia," she says, arranging the papers on her desk.

"You too."

Aliza is standing outside with Phillip and the guy she swears she doesn't have a crush on.

"Hey guys."

"Hey we're going swimming wanna come?" Aliza asks, adjusting the bag on her shoulder. Steve takes it and she accepts. I give her an I don't believe you look and she just glares at me.

"Uh, I can't I have plans with MJ."

They all laugh and walk to the swimming pool which could be seen from where I was standing.

 

"Have you ever gone for a breast cancer screening?" I ask MJ, watching her face fall.

"Uh. No not really. Why do you ask?"

I place my hand on top of hers in hopes of soothing the turmoil boiling inside her.

"To be sure, safe."

"I've thought about it but I've never actually gone through with it."

I understand that very well.

I smoothen her side of the bed after putting on the clean bed sheets.

"And do you check yourself."

"I've never actually bothered to learn."

"Scared of finding out the answer."

"Yeah."

We place the pillows next.

"Can I check for you?" I ask, praying she doesn't say no.

"Uh, sure."

She walks towards me briskly and I tug the shirt up over her head. The sports brah is next and I could see her heart beating. I kiss her cleavage for an unknown reason and that has laughter erupting from her stomach.

"Sometimes you're stupid you know that?" She laughs making me join.

"Hee if I'm stupid what does that make you?"

"Smart." She answers a smug look on her face. "Please your dumb like me."

"Uh hurry up I'm cold." I feel her breasts for any lump squeezing at the process. I know MJ is acting strong but she doesn't need to. I will be strong for her. "Lift up your arms," I say. " Why?"

"I need to check under your armpits, now hurry up." She does it reluctantly the word bossy escaping her mouth in a whisper.

"I can hear you."

Her skin is soft and my cold fingertips are making pebbles of goosebumps appear all over. "How do you even know how to check?"

"Uh, we were taught in highschool about this method — ABC. It precisely tells you where you should look and direct your hand."

She looks at me under her lashes making me continue. "So like each letter goes with how you should check."

"That's stupid."

"Shut up it's creative."

"Whatever."

"I'm no doctor but I couldn't feel any lump on your breasts or near your armpits."
