When Reality Strikes- Chapter 2
It had been exactly one month since the day of the party and Kairi decided she was not going to tell Namine what had happened and she also decided to put the party behind her and move on to her regular self. The past 4 weeks had gone by normally, studying, reading, drawing, and hanging out with Namine and so on. But there was an abnormality. She had been plagued with nausea for the past week, and it was not your common flu. It was whenever she smelled certain foods or just at random times of the day and then she would feel fine again after she got over the awful taste.
Kairi knew that this wasn't the flu, she was sure she knew what the cause was, but admitting this to herself was hard.
She would have to tell Namine and seek her advice. She would have to explain to her the whole story and hopefully things would work out.
"Namine...I have to tell you something..." Kairi said to Namine as they were having their usual Friday night sleep over at Namine's house.
"What is it Kairi?" she replied.
"Well...I don't really know how to spit this out, so I'm just going to say it" here goes "I think I might be pregnant." Kairi said as tears began to trickle down her cheeks.
Namine looked down at Kairi with a look of doubt on her face. "Kairi you haven't even had sex before, how could possibly be pregnant?"
"I ...Had...sex..." Kairi replied through her muffled cries.
"What!...When!" Namine said obviously completely shocked by her friend. It was normal for a teenager to have sex these days but Kairi and me aren't your normal teenagers, we aren't interested in dating right now and rather spend our time with each other, when had Kairi even had the time to have sex?
"Remember that party we went to about a month ago in September?"
"Yeah"
"Well I don't remember how I got there or when or anything for that matter, but I awoke naked in a bed alone, my clothes tossed everywhere. I had sex and I don't even remember it and I don't even remember the guy I had it with." Kairi said as she began sobbing.
"Oh Kairi, come here" Was all Namine could say. Namine couldn't even remember when she had left Kairi or what she had been doing either, she remembers being awoken by Kairi the next morning on a couch with other people asleep on the floor.
"Well there is only one thing we should do right now" Namine said.
"What?" Kairi said as she looked up at Namine with tears still running down her cheeks.
"Run to the pharmacy and grab a couple of pregnancy tests, and then tomorrow we will call your doctor's office and schedule an ultrasound."
"Ok...let's go."
Kairi and Namine undressed out of their pyjamas and put on their jeans and t-shirts. Thankfully there was a pharmacy a couple of blocks away and it was in walking distance.
"Namine, what if someone sees us there, I don't want people from school to know about this for as long as I can hide it." Kairi said as they begun their way to the pharmacy.
"Do you really think anyone from our school is going to be at a pharmacy at 8:30p.m.?"
"Well... I guess... but were going aren't we? So why wouldn't other kids from our school go?"
"Stay positive Kairi, don't think of them being there, and think of them at home watching TV ok?"
Kairi still wasn't sure about being seen in public buying more than one pregnancy test but it needed to be done and so she kept on going.
When they got there they walked in and were distracted by the book section of the pharmacy. They remembered why they were there and cautiously made their way to the aisle they were looking for carefully looking around for any kids they might recognize from their school.
"Look they put the pregnancy tests right beside the condoms, kind of ironic isn't it?" Namine said as she chuckled. Kairi really hadn't thought it was that funny considering the situation she was in right now, she could have used a condom that night.
"26.99 please" Said the store clerk.
"Here you go sir" replied Kairi as she handed the man the money.
The man handed Kairi the bag with the 2 pregnancy tests and then the two girls exited the store, they were certain no one had spotted them. But they were wrong.
On the other side of the store was a blonde haired blue eyed girl named Larxene accompanied by her friend Olette. Both equally shocked at what they had just seen.
"Was that Kairi and Namine?" asked Larxene.
"It was, and Kairi bought a pregnancy test."
"Kairi? The super nerd from school. Who did she have sex with? And who would even have sex with her in the first place?"
"I don't know but I really want to get to the bottom of this"
"Me too."
