Today is a bright and sunny day in Wyomissing Pennsylvania, probably the nicest day so far this year, and here I am puking my guts out beside the toilet.

"MOM!" I yell down the steps. She comes trudging up the wood steps, walks down the long narrow hall, and pocks her head in the bathroom doorway.

"What's wrong?" she asks looking at my pale face.

"I feel really sick."

"Could it be something you ate? What did you have for lunch?"

"A peanut butter and jelly sandwich, chips and a yogurt," I say as I puke again.

"That's it, you have been sick for the last couple days, I'm taking you to the doctor," she says as she helps me up. We go down the stairs and I get a drink while she calls the doctors office.

"They have an opening for three fifteen so we need to get over there now," Mom says as she grabs her keys.

On the way there I feel a little better but I am still pale as I'll get out. When we walk into the office I take a seat while my mom checks me in. I start reading the new Seventeen magazine to pass the time.

"Cartor MaKenzie," The doctor calls. I stand up and mom and I walk back to the room.

"Hi, I'm Dr. Natalia Burke." She says as she shakes my mom's hand.

"Hi, I'm Alyson, Cartor's mom."

"Hi, I'm Cartor."

"Nice to meet you both, Cartor can I have you slip your shoes off so we can check your weight?" Dr. Burke asks. I slip off my pink and purple flip flops and step on the scale. The numbers keep going up until finally, "139.6 you're up about fourteen and a half pounds since your last visit."

"Well she has been eating like crazy," my mom says.

"Hmmm… let's check your temperature. Can you sit on this table for me please?" The doctor asks as I get up. She sticks the thermometer in my mouth. After about twenty seconds it beeps. "99.3 you have a bit of a temperature. Can I check your heart?"

I lean forward and a cold circular thing touches my back. Dr. Burke gets a surprised look on her face. "Mrs. MaKenzie can you go wait out in the waiting room for a little while please?"

"Why? What's wrong?" My mom asks.

"I just want to talk to your daughter about something." My mom leaves and Dr. Burke asks me, "Is there any chance you could be pregnant?"

"NO!" I yell, "That's impossible!"

"Well can we take a urine test just to rule that out as a possibility?"

"Sure," I say as she hands me the cup. When I come back in the room with the cup of yellow looking stuff the doctor takes it from me and tells me to sit for a minute. She comes back five minutes later with a neutral look on her face. "Cartor, there is no easy way to tell you this but you're pregnant,"

"Wait! What? How…" Then it dawns on me. "Oh crap! Crap! Crap! Crap!"

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"It was February 6th Jaysin and I were going out as friends to celebrate his 14th birthday. During dinner we both said how we wanted to be more then friends so became boyfriend/girlfriend. That night my parents weren't home; Jaysin and I decided to watch a movie at my house. Well we started kissing and I guess we kind of ended up doing more than that. I don't remember much after we started kissing."

"Oh ok, well I suggest you tell Jaysin and call your OB/GYN to set up an appointment ASAP."

"Yeah," I say trying to hold back tears. "Can I go now?"

"Yes you may," She says as I leave the room. My mom is waiting for me in the waiting room.

"So what's wrong?" She asks.

"Nothing, it's just a virus."

"Ok well tell me if you need anything."

"I will, thanks," I say as I grab my phone so I can call Jaysin. I dial 555-2695 and the phone starts ringing.

"Hello?" Jaysin asks.

"Hey Jay, it's Cartor."

"Hey Cartor! What's up?"

"Ummm… I was wondering if we could meet at the park. I have something to tell you."

"Sure, ten minutes?"

"Yea, sounds good." I say as I hang up the phone. Mom and I hop in the car and drive home. When we get there I walk up to the park and see Jaysin waiting for me.

"Hey, Cartor!" Jaysin says as he waves me over.

"Hey Jay…" I can't finish talking because I am crying so hard.

"Oh, Cartor, what's wrong?" He asks as I sit on the bench.

"I…I…I'm pregnant," I say sobbing into his chest.

"What? Did you just say what I think you said?"

"Yeah…"

"But how? We never… ooh… it was February right?"

"I think so, I don't remember it much though." I am crying again and I feel as if I'll never stop.

"It will be ok, Cartor, I promise." Jaysin says as he comforts me.

"Thanks Jay," I say still sobbing. "When should we tell our parents?"

"Well, the sooner the better I guess so tonight?"

"Ok," I agree. "How about you call your mom and invite them to come over to my house around seven."

He starts to call his mom. "Hey mom, I was wondering if you could come over to the MaKenzie's tonight… ok cool… love you, bye."

"So?" I ask.

"She said yes."

"Ok then… I guess I should go…"

"Yea, well see you tonight?"

"Yep, bye," I say and start walking home. 'Ugh what am I going to do?' I think. When I get home I run up to my room and cry.
