Cambrie stared down at the test in her hands. She didn't know what to think. She had sworn she used protection when her and Justin had sex. Although, they were both drunk so she couldn't be too sure. She walked into the bedroom that was connected to her bathroom and sat on the fluffy zebra printed comforter.
"I'm pregnant," she whispered to herself. She could feel the tears rolling down her cheeks but she didn't let them fall for long. She was strong. She wouldn't let this stop her from getting where she wanted to go in life. She brushed a strand of her bright red hair behind her ear and decided to call her best friend, Lauren. She grabbed the iPhone off of her nightstand and tapped in the curly haired girl's number.
Lauren answered on the second ring. "Hello doll, how are you?" Cambrie heard her slight irish accent through the phone. She smiled a little, she loved her friend's voice. But frowned when she remembered why she called her.
"I need to tell you something, that you can't tell anyone. No matter what," She could tell Lauren got worried. That's just the kind of friend that she is.
"Go for it. You can trust me with anything girlie," Camrbie sighed.
She was nervous and didn't know how to spit it out. "I'm pregnant," she choked out. Lauren stayed quiet for a long time. So long that Cambrie had to check to see if she hung up. "Laur?" she whispered. She really cared about what her best friend thought. She needed to know that Lauren was there to back her up and be with her every step of the way.
"I'm going to be there for you. You better name it after me," She heard her giggle on the other line and was instantly relieved. She smiled and thanked her but told her she was going to try to get some sleep. She hung up with Lauren and it wasn't long before she was sound asleep.

The sound of her alarm woke Cambrie up. She yawned and looked at the clock. It read 6:30. She decided to take a quick shower since she didn't take one last night. When she was finished showering she decided on a black and white, polka dotted, ruffled shirt, a pair of high waisted shorts, and black ankle booties.
She looked in the mirror and put her hands on her belly. "There's someone growing in there," she thought to herself. She told herself it was time to go to school and headed downstairs to be greeted by her mother and step-father sucking face. She gagged and quickly grabbed an apple and headed out the door. It was a nice enough day, she decided. She started her 10 minute walk to school.
