PRETTYMUCH a Lie [n.m]

Fourteen

Amelia

The stick had one solid line on it. I read the instructions to be sure that one line meant 'not pregnant.' Sure enough, I was right. I wasn't pregnant. I was worried though, because it was really early on. I showed Alison the test and she let out a breath.

"Thank God," she exclaimed.

"I should probably save the other test for if I'm late," I trailed off. I wasn't scheduled to start for another few days to a week. I will just have to wait it out.

Alison nodded at me. "How about we go get a late lunch?" she asked trying to cheer me up. I really needed to study, but I was decently hungry, so I agreed.

We rode down the road to get some burgers. I really needed to study when we got back, but I was going to enjoy this girl time.

"So, I have some important information for you," Alison said as she stepped back into the car.

"And what would that be?" I asked curiously opening the passenger side door.

"So, while you were asleep last night, Zion facetimed me," Alison cranked up the car and turned the air conditioning knob on full blast.

"Damn Ali, why didn't you wake me up? Was Nick with him?" I asked.

"Yeah, he asked where you were, and I told him you were sleeping,"

I rolled my eyes at her. "You should've gotten me up. I wouldve loved to facetime them with you."

"I know, I know. I just knew you had been really stressed out and I didn't want to wake you," she said as she made a right turn on to the strip.

I shrugged my shoulders and motioned for her to continue. I understood where she was coming from, I probably wouldn't have woken her up if I was in her shoes either.

"Well, Zion told me that the boy's manager had mentioned that they were going to be going to Miami in two weeks to shoot a music video."

I could feel my face light up. "Really?" I asked.

"Yes. They should be there for a week."

"That is great. we could totally go down there for a few days. It will be summer for us," I replied.

"I know," she smiled back at me while pulling into our dorm parking lot.

I just had to get through these next few days and finals. I am almost positive that it was the finals that were stressing me out. I couldn't help but feel a little uncertainty in that statement though, because I had a bad feeling it was something else.

I spent the remainder of the night studying my notes for my Perspectives on Public Speaking class. I was sure I was going to do fine on my final that was tomorrow, but I still had to cover all of my bases.

We had planned a girl's trip to the beach with Emily on Friday to celebrate that we were officially done with school. I was super excited for that. I felt like I hadn't seen Emily in forever even though it had only been a few days.

The next morning, I got up at a decent time and to be honest I felt fine. I stopped and got some coffee on my way to class. I pulled out my phone and read through me and Nick's text messages. I felt up for a conversation, so I texted him 'good morning.'

I was twenty minutes early for class as well, so I had time to chat. He texted me back almost immediately.

'Good morning Amelia,' the text from Nick read. He added a smiley face as well.

I was surprised he had messaged me back so quickly because of the time difference. It was about to be noon here in Florida, so I would imagine with a four-hour time difference, it was almost eight in the morning in California.

We started up a small conversation about what we had been up to and then to my surprise our professor came in early. I slid my phone back into my bookbag and prepared for my final exam. I took a deep breath while he handed out our question packets and scantrons and courageously started on my final.

I was one of the first students to finish my exam. It was pretty easy. Either that or I got all of them wrong. I laughed to myself as I exited the building and began to walk back to our dorms.

It was a two hundred question exam, so I took around an hour and a half to finish it. Imagine if I didn't study for it, I wouldve taken the whole time, if not longer.  

I turned on my phone and texted Nick again. I told him I was finished with my final. I really wanted to facetime him, but I was scared he wouldn't answer me. I unlocked our dorm and walked in on Alison taking a nap with her head shoved in her History book. I laughed to myself while quietly closing the door behind me.

I stepped into the bathroom and ran a hot bath. I added a lot of bubble bath into it and waited on the water to fill up the tub. I undressed myself and stepped in. I turned on my 'relax' playlist on my apple music app and sat my phone down on the side of the tub.

I threw my hair up in a messy bun and slid down into the bath leaving only my head peaking out of the water. Bubble baths were the only thing that seemed to really relax me. Also, the piano music that gently played from the speaker of my phone.

Suddenly my phone started to go off. It was the notification sound that I had for when I got a text message. I dried off my hands and picked it up. Of course, it was Nick saying hey. I asked what he was doing, and he replied with 'playing fortnite with Z, how about you.'

I should've known, that boy is always playing that stupid game. I rolled my eyes and replied with 'soaking all of my troubles away in a bubble bath.'

He texted back right away with the bath emoji and to my surprise asking me to facetime him. I thought about it for a second and decided not to. He was being a typical guy again. I groaned in frustration and began to type 'you are crazy' but the little dots in the corner of the screen popped up and seconds later another message sent to me. The message read 'jk.' I laughed to myself as told him I would facetime him when I got out.

If I was being honest with myself, I got a little excited that Nick wanted me to facetime him. I went ahead and got out of the bath and put on some pajama pants and a cut off tee. I left my hair up and went to jump on Alison's bed. She shot up and knocked her book off of the bed.

"What the fuck?" Her yawn turned into a laugh.

"Want to facetime the boys?" I asked her.

Her eyes lit up as she replied to me, "Now?"

"Yes. Go fix your hair, it looks like a bird's nest," I laughed at her while she rushed to the bathroom.

I might update again tonight, I don't know.

Oh and don't get your hopes up she still could be pregnant.

Enjoyyyy
