Mr. Summer's Suprise

Chapter 7.

The next morning I awoke at 9:00 feeling slightly better than I had the previous day. I decided to grab some breakfast before heading to the pharmacy. I made some toast with light butter and grabbed some freshly squeezed orange juice my mother makes every morning. After taking a few bites of toast and drinking a glass of deliciously squeezed orange juice, the familiar feeling came back in the pit of my stomach. I didn't waste time running to the powder room and emptying the contents of my sour stomach. I decided to clean up my dishes and head upstairs to shower and get ready for my day. Once I showered and brushed my long blonde hair, I brushed my teeth with my favorite minty toothpaste and picked my outfit for the day. I decided to wear a pair of plain black yoga pants and a blue and gold tank top that had black pin stripes. I grabbed my favorite and most comfortable pair of black Nike running shoes and headed on my way to town. Once I arrived at Duncan's Pharmacy I headed straight for the aisle that contained the many different pregnancy test. I wasn't sure how these worked. I had never bought a pregnancy test or knew anyone else that bought or used one. I decided to buy the most expensive one figuring that would give me the most accurate result. I picked out a Clear blue test and cautiously made my way to the checkout, hoping not to be noticed by anyone I knew. Once I safely made it to the counter the cashier gave me a look mixed with disgust and pitty. Her name tag read Rose, she was an older lady with bright red hair and a pair of thick rimmed black glasses. I shyly looked away as she rang up the test. " That will be $14.99 miss." I nodded and handed her a twenty dollar bill from my black and brown coach wristlet my mom bought me last Christmas. She gave me my change and I smiled slightly and thanked her before wishing her a good day. She nodded in response and went on to the next customer. "Bitch." That's all I thought as I walked out of the pharmacy and made my way home. After a twenty min walk I finally reached the most comfortable place I know, home. I glanced at my phone and noticed it was now 12:45. I also noticed I had missed two calls from mom and a text asking how I was feeling. I replied to her text and told her I was feeling slightly better, that I had just woke up. I really hate lying to my mom. I feel like I've been doing it alot lately and that's not something I typically do. But it's not like I can tell her what's going on. I can imagine that conversation. "I'm so sorry mom I snuck into a club a few weeks ago, I met a nice man while I was there. I gave him my virginity in a dirty bathroom and now I'm scared I'm pregnant. Let's not forget as it turns out he's my 12th grade English teacher." That conversation wouldn't go over too well. She would probably send me to some private school for future nuns. I would be forced to give up my child and live a life revolved only around religion. Don't get me wrong I believe in God. My faith is what truly helped me heal after my dad's death. Even if I do not go to church every Sunday, religion is important to me. I decided I waited long enough. It seems I'm stalling myself from finding out my future fate. It's time to take the test! I went upstairs to the bathroom that sits directly across from my bedroom. I opened the test and read the directions. It seemed easy enough. Pee on the stick and let it sit for 5 mins. I pulled my pants down and did my business. Once I finished I pulled up my pants and set the test on the counter. I looked at the time and noticed it was now 1:02. At exactly 1:07, two mins from now I will find out my fate. I closed my eyes and sat there, head against the cold tiled bathroom wall. Eyes closed and a racing heart, five minutes seemed like hours. It felt like an eternity. Glancing back at my phone, it was now 1:07. This is the moment of truth. I took a deep breathe, closed my eyes and opened them. Looking down at the test that sat on the counter I saw the result. The result that changed my life forever. It was positive. 3+ weeks pregnant. I clutched the stick in my sweaty palm. The shock of the entire situation is starting to sink in. I Andie Marie William's is going to have a baby with my 12th grade English teacher. I'm sorry Mr. Summers but the surprise is on both of us.
