[knock on the door]
"Who is it?" Ruthie asked looking up from her notebook.
"Cecilia." Came the voice from the other side of the door.
"Come in." Ruthie said putting her notebook away. The door opened and Cecilia walked in.
"You wanted to talk to me."
"Yea." Ruthie said hesitantly.
"What is it?" Cecilia asked curiously.
"Cecilia. My….My period. It's umm…late."
"Ruthie are you serious. Are you sure?"
"yea I havent had it for almost two months now."
"Ruthie. You don't think that you are pregnant now do you?"
"Cecilia. I don't know I'm not sure anymore. I mean when I was with Jason he wore a condom and so did Marshall. So like what? I don't know. I am so confused."
"Ruthie we got to get you a pregnancy test. Let's go to the drug store. Come on lets go." Cecilia said getting up and taking Ruthie's hand.
"Mom. Me and Cecilia are going out for a little. Ill be back soon."
"Ok Ruthie be good." Annie said.
And with that Ruthie and Cecilia were on their way out the door and into the car. They drove to the drug store. The ride was tense. Tension filled the air. They went in and bought the test. Ruthie felt as if everyone was staring at her. They went back into the car.
"We'll go take the test at my house. My parents arent home. We wont have to worry about anything or anyone interrupting it."
"OK." They drove to Cecilia's house in silence once again. When they got there they went inside and Ruthie went into the bathroom. She closed the door and opened the brown bag she had in her hand. She took out the test and read the directions.
