A/N: Ok I know I write painfully short chapters but I'm trying to keep the story going and how it comes out is generally how I think of it. None of my work is beta-ed so all mistakes are mine (hey gotta claim something right?).
I hope you all enjoy and stick with me as I attempt to tell this tale.
Andie walked quickly down the busy street, hoping that no one she knew would see her. She pulled her hood over her head and held her bag closer to her body. She didn't realise how suspicious she looked. Taking a quick glance around her she veered off to the left and into a pharmacy. She had originally planned to try the nearest supermarket but found that to be too risky; she didn't want people to know what she was doing. She knew that if people found out what she was doing they would start asking questions, questions she didn't want to answer.
Moving quickly she found the aisle that contained the pregnancy tests. Nervously she grabbed a couple of boxes and made her way to the counter. She placed the boxes on the bench and pulled out her purse.
"Just these then?" the woman behind the check out asked. Andie looked at her from underneath her hood and simply nodded. The woman smiled softly and placed them in a paper bag before taping it shut. Andie handed over the money for the tests without a word. She nodded at the woman before quickly leaving the store.
Three hours later Andie sat cross-legged on her bed staring at the row of pregnancy tests on a paper plate in front of her. She glanced at the clock on her bedside table then back at the tests. The time was almost up and she began to panic as one line appeared, then another. She grabbed the first test, then the second; all six tests had the same result.

"Hey Moose! You seen Andie?" Chase called out to the skinny dark haired boy who sat at his usual table. Moose looked up at him, the sauce from his tofu dog smeared over his upper lip. He stared at Chase blankly for a moment, as if he were trying to recall whether he had seen her or not.
"Umm….no not since this morning, why?" Moose replied taking a large bite of his tofu dog. Chase rolled his eyes as another blob of sauce found its way to Moose's lip where it was certain to stay until someone told him it was there.
"Ahhh…she just…..she ran out of dance class looking like she was gonna puke or something," Chase explained as he sat down at the table. "The really strange thing was the way that Blake looked at her. I mean I've never seen him look concerned like that and I've known him my whole life." Moose placed his half eaten tofu dog on his tray and turned his full attention to Chase.
"She ran out sick! Is….is she ok?" Moose asked, clearly concerned for the well being of his friend.
"That's what I'd like to know. After she left class no one's seen her. I think even Blake's worried. Everyone knows that Andie isn't exactly school's number one fan but lately she's been getting here early and leaving late, so it doesn't make sense for her to just leave like that. I suppose it doesn't really make sense for her to spend so much time here anyway but still," Chase picked at his food as he spoke. He'd noticed that Andie had been acting strangely lately. She didn't spend half as much time with the crew as she used to, and she had eased up on bagging out the teachers. Thinking back, he could almost pin point the time of the change, and that would be just over two months ago. He wondered what had happened at that time to cause her to change.
