I stand in the mirror and look at my body shape. I rub my belly and admire everything about my body. I had extremely big boobs. I had a big butt and a slim waist. I had a good shape. If I'm pregnant I might lose my nice shape. But it'll be worth it. I love kids.

"Naomi, I been waiting for you in the car. Come on !", James said busting in my room. "I'm not going to school today !", I yell at him. "Why not ? You've already missed the first three days.", he asked. "Cause I'm sick.", I yell as I roll my eyes. "You not sick.....just pregnant.", he said. I slap him across the head and push him out my room. "Shut up ! I'm not going to school and don't tell nobody about this ! Not even Zion.", I tell him.

I hear him chuckle and then hear his footsteps as he walks downstairs. I stand in the mirror and look at my figure more. I grab some clothes and place them under my shirt. I shape them up to make them look like a pregnant belly. I then walked around and imagined being pregnant. I looked pretty good. It's still not good for me to be pregnant in the 11th grade. Even though the school year was almost over.

I heard a knock on my door. "Naomi ? It's ya mama, can I come in ?", she asked. I opened the door and she came in. She had a drink in her hand. "It's Coconut milk. It'll be good for the baby....if there is one.", she says. I give her a small smile and take the drink. I'm glad my mom isn't mad and kicking me out. Instead she's being supportive and is going to help me raise the baby until I can do it myself.

I drank it and surprisingly I liked it. I've never had coconut milk before. "You can't keep missing school, sweetheart.", she tells me. "I know, I just wanna be sure, before I go back.", I say. "I knew you would say that. That's why I bought two pregnancy test when I went to the store this morning."

She handed me two pregnancy tests and pointed towards the bathroom. I went inside the bathroom and followed the instructions on the box. As I waited I got a call from Zion. I hesitated for a bit but I answered it. "Baby, you skipping school again ?", he asked. "I was never skipping school Zion, I'm sick.", I tell him. "Don't sound sick to me.", he said.

"Well I am. I wouldn't miss school if I wasn't.", I say. "Well, I'm coming over after school to check up on you.", he tells me. "No ! It's contagious !", I say quickly. "James might have it as well so stay away from him.", I say to help with my lie. "Damn. Well is it the flu ?", he asked. "Might be. Mama is taking me to the doctors one day this week.", I tell him.

"Oh, well feel better. I gotta get to class. I love you.", he said. I smiled. "I love you too.", I say. I finally hang up the phone. I love Zion to death. But if I'm pregnant, I could ruin his life. I've never met his mama, barely met his sister. I've met Elom and oh boy. Zion has a career and plus they're going on tour this summer. I look at both of the pregnancy tests.

"Oh shit."
