Prologue

"Five... four... three... two... one... now!" cried my sister, Lisa.

"I'm not looking," I said from inside the bathroom. "This is just pointless.

"Oh, come on, Heather! Like you said, you're probably not even pregnant."

"Which is exactly why this is pointless. And since when did you agree with me on that? You were the one who made me take this stupid test in the first place!"

"Oh yeah."

"Well, I guess I'll look, but only to prove you wrong." I slowly opened my eyes, which had been tightly shut the whole time. When I saw the result, my jaw dropped.

I didn't realize I'd been standing there silently for so long until Lisa sopke again. "Well?" she asked. "What does it say?"

"It's positive." My voice was shaking.

"Ha!" cried Lisa. "I knew it!"

I opened the door and stepped outside. "But there's got t be some mistake," I continued. "I can't possibly be 4 MONTHS PREGNANT?" I screech, looking at the test again. "I mean, I'm a virgin... right?"

"You tell me." said Lisa. "Have you ever gotten high at a party or something?"

"Once. But we were so close to getting busted by the cops, we all just went home before things got really bad."

"Well, has anything else like that happened, say, four months or so ago?"

"Not that I can... oh my God!" I said, as I realized how this had happened.

Should I continue this?
