     "So, I um went to the woman's clinic and um," as I was explaining, I was playing with the rim of the cup, "the doctor had informed me that I have aids."

"Wait, no! How? Of what I know, it doesn't run in the family. No, you're kidding me, right?"

"No."

"Then, please explain to me why you have aids, Shontelle," she demanded.

"You know Dedrick, right?"

"Yeah, but he can't have aids."

" Um, anybody can. But there was another guy I met and they're friends and I slept with him a couple of times."

"How many times did you sleep with Dedrick though?"

"I know you might not wanna know, but you asked. Tons of time."

"And this other guy you said you only slept with him only a couple of times?"

" Yeah, like two," that's when it hit me straight in the head. Oh no! "Mom, I gotta go. I have to take care of something. Do you mind if I take your car?"

"Obviously you didn't mind taking it today, so I guess I wouldn't mind letting you take it now." 

"Thanks, I'll see you later."
