The young girl squatted over the school girl’s toilet and with shaking hands opened the plastic wrapper and pulled out a pregnancy test kit. Taking a deep breath, she prayed silently “Please God, please…one line only….one line only…please.” One line equal not pregnant and two lines equal pregnant. The girl knew her whole world would change based on the outcome of the pregnancy stick. 

She held the tube shape pregnancy stick between her spread legs and urinated slowly. Once she was done, the young girl pulled the toilet seat down and gently lay the pregnancy stick flat on top of the toilet seat. She squeezed her eyes tight and counted to one thousand.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine…and one thousand…” the girl whispered. Reluctantly she opened her eyes and picked the pregnancy stick up.
