Manny was walking to Health Class. She sat down and waited for the rest of her classmates to walk in. When everyone was
seated, Dr. Sally turned around and started to talk.
"Hello 9th graders of Degrassi," she said, "I am very happy to be back and see you all again."
JT raised his hand and Dr. Sally called on him.
"So, Dr. Sally, what will we be learning about today?" he asked.
"I plan to talk about Teen Pregnancy," said Dr. Sally
Mr. Armstrong then said, "So, everyone please now give Dr. Sally your un-divided attention."
Manny doodled in her health notebook as Dr. Sally babbled on about how many teens in Canada and the United States were
getting pregnant. Manny felt for those girls but she had other things to take care of.
"When having sex you must always use a condom," said Dr. Sally.
Manny gazed out the window and saw Craig walking by. He didn't see her looking at him. Dr. Sally's words repeated in her
head. "When having sex you must always use a condom." Then the reminders of this mornings stomach virus came back in
her head. Had she and Craig...of coarse! They had to of used protection. Anyways then only did it like once or twice. She had
always heard rumers that were always like you can't get pregnant on the 1st time or 2nd time. All of a sudden Manny started
to feel very sick. It wasn't her stomach virus anymore. It was nerves. She was feeling unsure and insecure about everything
now. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't take Dr. Sally's talk anymore. Manny raised her hand.
"Manny," said Mr. Armstrong.
"Yes, umm," said Manny," May I please go to the bathroom."
"Sure," said Mr. Armstrong.
Manny leaped out of her seat and hurried out of the room. She walked slower through the halls to take up more time. She
wished that she felt more better in her own skin. She opened the door to the bathroom and found non the less then Ashley in
there.
Manny had been planning on just walking around the bathroom and thinking of ideas of why else she was feeling sick but with
Ashley there she felt even sicker. Ashley obviously felt the same way about Manny. She didn't want to see or talk to her. Ash
then left without saying a word to Manny. Manny liked it that way.
Manny looked at herself through the mirror. Wahat she saw back made her want to cry. She saw her face of course, but, her
eyes were all teary, wet, and red because she was on the verge of crying. She saw her hot pink tank top that covered only one
shoulder and left the other one bare. She couldn't see from the mirror but she knew that under the shirt was her short blue jean
mini skirt.
Manny liked the way she dressed. It was better then the way she used to dress. That she was sure of by far. She didn't look
like a little girl with pig tails and braids anymore. She was a mature young woman. She felt good about herself and that made
her always feel happy. She began to think. If she hadn't changed her look would she be in this situation right now. Would Craig
have been attracted to her even if she was her old immature, baby self. He hadn't liked the Old Manny last year. He practically
told her last year that she was to young for him. But this year he loved her. They had made out, had sex, everything! Now she
wasn't Manny Santos: Little Cute Nice Pigtail Girl. She was Manuella Santos: Sexy, Sassy, Mature, Hot, Good Looking, and
also maybe even...well you know. She just couldn't bring herself to say it.
The bell rang from outside the bathroom. She had to hurry so she wouldn't be late for Science wtih Ms. Hatzilakos. She then
felt sick again. She ran to the nearest stall and threw up. She then came out of the stall and made a decision. After school
she would go to the drug store and buy the you-know-what test.
