I was waiting in at a truck stop bathroom holding a pregnancy test just a few more seconds before I find out if I was pregnant or not.

(Hours Earlier )

"What are you going to do?" I asked Maria

I said sitting on her sisters bed. it's been a while since just me and Maria hung out so last night we had a girls only sleep over.

Maria just looked at her reflection in the mirror.

"I'm keeping it,"she said.

I love Maria and support her but.

"Are you sure that's a good idea," I said.

She crossed her hands over her stomach.

"Yes I'm keeping this baby.
I could tell she was still shocked by the news.

"Hey Don't worry I'll be here for you no matter what."

I said giving her a comforting hug.
Her eyes started to water but before tears could fall she quickly wiped her eyes.

"What about you,"she said handing me a pregnancy test.

I looked at the small pink and white box in my hands.

"I'll just hold on to it,"I said slipping it into my purse.

The last thing I wanted to think about was a possible chance of being pregnant. The fact that I'm a week late doesn't help.

Maria looked at me
"Mo what's going on?" she asked me.

"Nothing," I said grabbing my keys.

"let's go before we miss our field trip and we're stuck doing boring class work."

"One more thing,"Maria said as we were exiting her sisters apartment

"What is it," I said as we were getting into my car.

she looked at me as I pulled off

"Keep this between us,"she then held out her pinky.

"I pinky promise," I said quickly linking my pinky with her.

When I pulled up to the parking lot I seen a yellow school bus filling up with other seniors.

As Maria and I quickly got out and ran to the bus. I seen Jake sitting on one side and Brandon on the other side. But due to assigned seating I sat by Brittney and Maria had to sit by Katy.

This was going to be a long bus ride since were taking a field trip to a ranch near the mountains.

As the bus pulled off it was clear Brittney wasn't trying to be my bus buddy. So I put my earbuds on and starting playing Cardi b's Invasion Of Privacy album on my phone and just looked out of the window.

Through the reflection of the window I could see Brandons reflection looking at me I just ignored it he was the last thing on my mind today.

My music paused as I got a incoming text message from Jake

Hey Big head

I looked back over to Jake who had a smile on his face he was sitting by some guy in a green shirt.
I smiled back as I put my earbud back in and continued to make it through the ride in the mean time Jake and Maria were texting me.

After A two hour bus ride we pulled up to this old Timey ranch called
Cross ways ranch.

The teacher was giving us instructions as we walked off the bus like don't go off by yourself or if anyone breaks school policy they will receive their punishment once we return to school.

The day went on sort of slow besides Brandon always finding ways to get close to me but every time Jakes around he keeps his distance. Maybe that's a good thing I don't need the extra drama.

Jake pulled me off to the side of a empty barn.

"Are you ok you been on edge all day,"he asked said

"I bit my lip and looked at him."

"Yea I'm fine just that time of the month."

If only that were true.

"What are you two doing over stay with the group."

A teacher said to us as they made us follow him back to the other students getting on horses for the trail.

Since we got back late I ended up getting Misty a older horse I actually felt bad for her she obviously didn't need to give anymore ride.

As the other students horses dashed off into the sunset Misty took her time and strolled the trail. It was actually peaceful

"Hey Monica," I seen Brandon pulling up beside me on a brown horse.

"What," I said looking straight forward.

"About the other night," he said.

"It meant nothing and I don't want to talk about it," I told him.

Then I took a risk but Misty ended up going faster and I passed Brandon and ended up back to the front of the group.

I seen Maria and Antonio Maria was on a black horse and Antonio was on a white horse.

They were riding by eachother. Jake rode up by me on a grey horse.
I couldn't help but look at him as the sunlight was shining on his face.

He smiled at me and I smiled back at him then Brandon quickly dashed between us on his horse.

"Watch were your going ass," Jake said narrowing his eyes at Brandon.

"Sorry about that," Brandon said with a smirk on his face as he pulled off on his horse.

After we all made it back from the trail it was time for us to get back on the bus this time I made sure to sit by Jake and Maria was sitting by Antonio.

The bus ride back felt much better until we made a stop at a local truck stop.

I was standing next to Jake as we picked up our snacks. When Maria came up to me.

"Hey Mo can you come to bathroom with me."she said.

Now here I was with my eyes closed as I heard the pregnancy test beeped and I held my breath as I looked at the

Negative pregnancy test

Thank God..
