This is set in Amanda, Kyle, Lori, Declan, and Hilary's senior year and Josh and Andy's junior year of high school.
Amanda Bloom stood at check out line of the grocery store down the block. She would have been at a different one but her mom was at a business meeting for another 1-½ hours and she wasn't taking any chances of not being back in time. There was a certain reason she was here. To buy a pregnancy test.
"I'm the last person that anyone ever thought this would happen to. I make good grades, I'm a good friend, and high school couldn't have been going better. I never would have thought that my whole life could come crashing down like this." Amanda thought.
Amanda looked at what was being rung up at the cash register. A pregnancy test. Not just anyone's pregnancy test but her's. Amanda thought back to some happier times in her life. Her first kiss with Kyle, the night she had Kyle hide her because she was afraid to confront her mom about not going back to New York, prom night last year, 2 weeks ago when for the first time she had sex with Kyle.
"It seemed so right at the time. Now I don't even know what got into me. My mom has always told me to stay as virgin until marriage but I didn't listen. And sex ED in school taught to use protection but I guess I got so caught up in the heat of the moment I forgot. Damn it! Why didn't I remember! This situation is 10,000 more likely to happen to Hillary or Lori or even Andy maybe. Wait maybe I am freaking out for nothing. I mean I don't even know yet if I am really pregnant. Let me think. I have all the signs. I have puked, not been feeling well and I am late, but come on Kyle and I only did it once. " Amanda wanted to cry but she knew that if she did people might stare and someone might recognize her. If someone saw her with this test she would crawl under a rock and die. She could already feel a huge knot in her stomach. How was she going to tell Kyle, or her mom? Would her mom kill Kyle? Would her mom kill her? Would her mom believe it? Or would Kyle dump her because of it? I know he seems like such a great guy and he is. But she never seemed like she'd be one to have sex before marriage and she did.
"Uhhhh miss" The cashier asked. Amanda snapped back into reality. "You total is 5.26,"
"Oh sorry" Amanda said uncomfortably. She dug out a 10-dollar bill and handed it to the cashier. The cashier handed Amanda her bag and recite. "Keep the change" Amanda said quickly and hurried out of there. Once she was outside she look down at the test in the bag. This tiny little object was the one thing that could make her day or break possibly the rest of her life.
