“Chlamydia?” I said more to myself than to the nurse.

“Yes. Now lucky for you we have antibiotics that can be taken to cure this STD… you’re very lucky.”

“Lucky?” I said in disbelief. “He gave me a social disease! I’m sorry to rain on your parade or whatever, but I don’t feel very lucky! I feel like shit!”

“Well, sorry to say that I cant do anything about your feelings right now… all I can do is give you this prescription” She said handing me the bottled pills in a bag.

I wanted to release my anger out on her. I’m sure I’m not the only one she smart mouthed today. I mean Jesus Christ, we needed some sympathy, people’s lives were at stake here and she’s being sarcastic? Some one should hit her with a Bus! Better yet, I can drive my dad’s charger up here and handle the old broad myself! Lucky? Lucky my ass!

I snatched the pills from her hand and hopped off the stool. “Have a nice day” She said as I walked out.

“Yeah sure. I just found out I have an STD, I’m just gonna go have myself a few margaritas and celebrate for happy hour!” I said sarcastically.

I slammed the office door shut and left just as crazy in the mind as I had came in. Except now, I had my own personal vendetta against a woman I’d barely known 10 minutes. She better watch herself. My dad’s charger is quite the charmer.

I held the white bag the pills were in up to my face and read what it said. “Take one pill in the mornings after eating; and take one pill in the evening after eating. Do not take more than two pills a day. Side effects may include drowsiness, blurry vision, and slight headaches. Because of these side effects, it is best not to drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how the pills affect you”  

“Well this is just fucking great!” I said looking up to see my bus I was supposed to be getting on drive pass.

I didn’t think things could get any worse. It’s not like I’m a bad person. I’m 16, I don’t back talk my parents, and I watch my little sister when It’s asked of me. So why me?

Why not somebody who deserved it? I most certainly did not deserve it!

I reached into my purse and pulled out a bus schedule. I had missed my 12:37 bus and then next one came at…..

“WHAT?!” I screamed. I closed my eyes and then re opened them. The numbers still said 2:58!

I was supposed to pick up my little sister at 2:00. I was wrong; things had just gotten worse.

I took out my cell phone and called my mother. It rang… and rang… and rang… where the hell was she?

I didn’t wanna call my dad. He would ask me a million questions and there was no way I was gonna tell him I was at a clinic.

I called my cousin Corey.

“What Maria?” He said as he picked up the phone.

“Hey Corey… I kind of need a favor”

“What kind of favor?” He asked a little suspicious.

“I need you to pick Taylor up from day care at 2:00. I should be home around 3:30 and you can drop her off at home.”

“I can’t pick her up. I have something to do, you have to do it”

“I cant!” I screamed frustrated. I walked over to the bench at the bus stop and sat down. “I can’t do it… Please, just this once? I promise I will pay you back, anything you want. But please, don’t call my parents about it and don’t take her home ‘til I get there”

He was quiet for a minute and then he spoke up. “Okay. But why can’t you do it Maria? You aren’t with no boys are you?”

“No. I’m just… Listen I gotta go. Thanks again and I’ll be there as soon as I can”

He hung up on me. He was obviously pissed.

I threw my phone in my purse and began my silent cry. I was so stupid. I was dumb, and naïve, and gullible. Everything parents try to teach they kid not to be. The fact of the matter was that I was in this mess to deep now. No matter what I do to hide my mistakes, they always catch up with me to ruin my life more.

I sat and waited for over two hours for the next bus to come. I didn’t have want to move for fear I’d miss it. My butt hurt from sitting on the wooden bench so long without getting up.

On the bus ride home, I called to tell my cousin I was on the way. He was at the Macdonald’s with Taylor and I told him I should be there when He got to my house.

Spring break had started two days ago and I was relieved I didn’t have to see those crazy people. They were rude and had the worst attitudes.

I still spoke to some of them, but the ones who had stopped speaking to me because of the whole Craig thing, they were the worst. Even my ex best friend Irene. She had been pretending to be my friend while I was dating Craig, and on the inside she was jealous. Honestly, if she would have told me she liked him, I would have understood and left him alone. She was my best friend and I wouldn’t have let a guy ruin that.

Apparently she didn’t care enough to think the same way. I had thought about transferring when word about my sexual life got leaked into the school. I really wanted to. It was bad enough everyone had heard about it, but Craig had made a video without my permission and that got leaked too.

My life was a mess right now. Even though he was my first and people say you’d love your first forever; In this case, that just was NOT true.




“So where the hell did you go Maria? Huh?” Corey yelled as Taylor jumped out of the car and ran into the house.

“I just had some things to do today. When I was about to go get on my bus, I realized I had missed it and the next one didn’t come until 2 hours later” I said showing him the bus schedule.

He saw it, but he still wanted to know where I was. I refused to answer. There was no way I was gonna tell him, then he would tell my aunt and my aunt would tell my dad.

“Look, can we just drop it already? I’m tired and I don’t really feel like answering a million questions.”

He threw his keys up in the air and then caught them in his hand. “Yeah sure. Just keep you’re little ass in this house ‘til your mom and dad get home” He said before getting back into his car and speeding off.

I shook my head and went into my house to make Taylor’s snack.

“Cookies and milk? Or PB&J?” I asked while locking the door.

“Cookies!” She screamed from the kitchen.

I nodded and took off my shoes at the door. I put some Oreo’s on a plate and poured a glass of milk.

“Here Taylor. Take it to your room, I’ve gotta clean up the kitchen.”

“Okee dokee!” She said.

I did the dishes, took out the trash, and cleaned the counter and the table. Then I went and straightened the living room. I went upstairs to check on Taylor and she was sleeping on her bed. I grabbed the plate and the glass and went back down stairs.

By the time the house was back in order, my mom was coming through the door.

“Hey mommy. I tried calling you earlier.” I said.

“I know sweetie. I was in a meeting and then I had to go pick up the cleaners. I’ve been running around all day, and I forgot to call you back.” She said plopping down on the couch.

“Its okay. Did you talk to daddy? I never gave him a call.” I said.

“Yeah, he said he’s bringing pizza.”

“Oh okay.”

I got up and went into my room. It was only around 5:30 but I was exhausted. I stretched out diagonally on my bed and closed my eyes. Unintentionally, I fell asleep…

A knock on my door woke my up. “Hey baby girl! Pizza’s down stairs” My dad said peeking into my room.

“Hey daddy… what time is it?” I asked.

“7:30” He replied.

“Oh… okay. I’m coming.”

He nodded and shut the door behind him. I had slept for two hours and yet it felt like 2 minutes.

But still, I got up and went down stairs. Taylor and my mom were at the table. My dad was in the living room eating his pizza.

The game was on. Sad how sports can regulate a guy’s life. He was yelling and screaming like a crazed maniac!

I grabbed two slices of pepperoni pizza and a can of sprite.

“So Taylor, how was your day?” my mom asked.

“It was okay I guess.”

Satisfied with my answer, she turned to Taylor. “What about you Munchkin?”

Taylor giggled. “I had fun! Uncle Corey took me to Mickey D’s!” She said.

I immediately grew pissed. “Really?” My mom said turning to me.

“How’d that happen?” She asked.

“Uh, well… They went out for lunch after he got Taylor from school.”

“Why did he get Taylor from school?”

“Because I asked him to.”

“Why did you ask him to?”

“For God Sakes! What’s with the million questions mom?”

“I just wanna know why you were incapable of picking Taylor up from school.” She said staring at me.

“I just didn’t feel well.” I said.

Her face grew to concern. “Are you alright?”

“Yes mommy… I’m fine.” I said Lying.

She nodded and I finished eating quietly. A knock came to the door and I immediately got up to answer it. Anything to get away from this table.

When I opened it, I could have pissed my pants. “What the hell? What the hell are you doing here?”

He smiled and I didn’t. “I came to see you pretty lady.”

I slammed the door in his face, but the doorbell rang this time. I opened the door again, and this time- unlike the last- I was angry instead of shocked.

“What do you want Craig?” I said clenching my fist.

I didn’t know which was worse. Dumping me and getting with my best friend… or giving me Chlamydia! I know you would think giving me an STD was the obvious choice, but the whole best friend thing hurt just as bad.

I stepped out onto the porch and shut the door behind me.

“What’s with all the attitude Maria? You know you missed the things I do to you?”

“Oh? You mean like giving me Chlamydia?”

His face flashed anger and embarrassment at the same time. “What? You didn’t know you had it huh? Figures!”

I went in the house and just before I slammed it in his face I looked him in the eyes and made sure he caught the hatred in my voice when I spoke. “Leave!”

I went into the kitchen and disposed of the food I didn’t eat. “Good night.” I said before going up stairs, taking a hot shower and taking the doxycycline medicine that was in the bottle.

“Ugh! I hate medicine.” I said. At least it’s only for a week…

I stuffed the bottle of pills into my underwear drawer and shredded the paper bag up with my personal shredder that was sitting beside my work desk.

After hiding my secret I climbed into bed.
