Buffy walked slowly down the aisle. She took a deep breathe. She was nervous of what would happen when it was all over with. Buffy stopped. Her eyes darted back and forth, seeing if anyone was watching her. After she was sure that no one was watching her, she continued walking.

She stopped and peered at the shelves. She grabbed a pregnancy test off the beige painted rack and quickly walked back up to the register. She put it on the counter and looked at the cashier.

The cashier gave a questioning look, but rang up the product anyway. "Eight seventy-six," she said as nicely as she could. The girl looked about eighteen and she felt sorry for her. She didn't deserve to get pregnant this young.

Buffy pulled out a ten and shoved it at the cashier. She just wanted to get out of there.

The cashier took it and gave Buffy her change. She dropped the pregnancy test in a bag and handed it to Buffy.

Buffy took it and practically ran out the story. She let out a huge sigh once she was out. She got into her black jeep. She started up the jeep and listened as it roared to life.

She pulled out of the convenient store and drove back to her dorm.

Buffy paced back and forth across her room. The five minutes she had to wait for the pregnancy test to complete seemed like an eternity. She sat down on her bed. What would she do if she was pregnant?

'I missed two months.' Buffy thought. 'What am I going to do? How will I tell mom? I'll become a mom.' More questions raced through her mind. She glanced at the glowing red numbers on her clock. It was past five minutes.

She walked slowly to the bathroom. She wanted to find out if she was pregnant or not, but she also didn't want to find out. She peered down at the sink counter where she had laid the test. She picked it up gently with one hand, but held on to it tight. In the white square, there were two pink lines.

"Oh, God, I'm pregnant." Buffy said out loud. "It can't be." She reached over and grabbed the instructions. She scanned through it. "Not pregnant, one line. Pregnant, two lines." She read out loud. "I'm pregnant," Buffy said in disbelief.
