Club Fucked Up

The Test

September 27,1989
8:53 a.m.
   "God Veronica are you trying bulimia too?" Heather snapped, examining her pale skin in the bathroom mirror.
   "No Heather, you know I'm not into that shit. I've just felt like total Hell the past two mornings." I say in between vomiting
   It's true, I've been so nauseous I can't eat and I can barely walk without feeling like I'm gonna fall over. It's like I'm on a fucking boat during a hurricane.
   "Damn how much have you been drinking then, sounds like a massive hangover!"
   "I haven't been drinking at all, not since you died." I might know why I feel like shit but never in eternity am I going to tell Heather!
A few hours later
   "Mrs. Fleming can I use the restroom?" I say is a grab the pass and rush out the door. I make a quick scan before I dart for the exit. I have to make this fast. A, so Heather doesn't find out and give me an earful. And B, so I don't get caught skipping class. So I know there is a 7/11 just down the street. I get there as fast as I can and check my swatch, it only says 1:13 great I've only been gone 6 minutes. All I want to do is grab a test and 2 slishies and get back to school as soon as possible.
   As I'm checking out I glance at my swatch again, 1:20, ok I'm really cutting it close here.
   By the time I make it back to school it's 1:26. Ok I think I'm good, I'll just tell Mrs. Fleming I was having feminine issues or some shit like that.
   But first I have to actually take this thing. In the restroom my head is fuzzy and I can't concentrate.
   "Fuck! How do you do this thing?!"
   "Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw!  Looks like good little Veronica isn't so good now is she!"
   "Shit" i murmur under my breath "Go away Heather!"
   "No I have got to see how this goes"
   "Well if you have to be in here at least make yourself useful, tell me how long I have to wait on this thing."
   "After covering the tip, wait 5 minutes for the test to work. God damn Veronica I thought you where on the pill!"
   "I was! I guess it just didn't work!" Ugh five minutes?! That seems like such a long time but here it goes I guess.
