* “I am pregnant,” I seriously stated to the busy man in front of me.
“What?”
“You heard me,” I said before pulling the three pregnancy tests I took for three days.
They were all showing two lines which means positive.
After I went to the clinic yesterday I overheard the nurse talking to someone on the phone.
She was very excited while holding a pregnancy test on her hand.
The nurse even discussed how she determined that she was pregnant.
And it was exactly what was happening to me!
The continuous morning sickness, and my increased urination.
After three days, I confirmed that there is really a life living inside my stomach.
“Stop talking nonsense and get out of my sight.” *
“Myrtle!”
“H-huh?!”
I was brought back to reality after Cassine shouted beside my ear.
The scene from my dream last night flashed on my mind again that I did not realize it is time to go home already.
Some of my class mates were already getting ready to go home while the others are starting to clean the class room since it is their schedule.
“I have been calling you for minutes now. Why do I feel like your usual energetic aura was gone? Is something the matter?” She asked but I only shook my head.
“You know I noticed this after the incident with master Ash at the canteen.”
Her voice started to become weak.
I know she is blaming herself again. She looked so guilty since she thought that it was because I helped her that Ash did that to me.
“Cassine,” I called. “I know what you are thinking about and you should not be blaming yourself for this. It is the monster’s fault,” I seriously whispered before standing up from my chair.
“W-where are you going?’ She asked.
“I am going home,” I shortly replied before leaving her.
There were so many things in my head right now but one major goal in my mind was to go to a pharmacy.
Because of my dream last night and the weird things I kept on experiencing every day especially after I woke up, there is a big urge inside me that keeps telling me to go to the pharmacy.
“Thank you,” I then stated after receiving the brown paper bag where the pharmacist placed what I bought.
She was even staring viciously at me like I did something illegal.
Well, I understand her.
If it were me, I would also stare at someone who looked like a teen buying some pregnancy tests!
After paying I abruptly went to a public comfort room not far from our home.
I do not want to try it at our house or my parents will find out about it.
What if it turned out positive?
No.
After peeing on the cup I slowly poured it on the stream where I should place the pee. It says I should wait for 7-10 seconds for the result.
I immediately closed my eyes when I saw that the glass was slowly showing a line.
If it is one line then I am safe but if it is two lines....
I am doomed.

“Move away, I need to talk to the master,” I seriously said after Ficus suddenly blocked the way.
That monster is currently enjoying the view at his private bench spot but I am here now carrying all the problems by myself.
“Listen half-ling just because the master made us promise on not getting you in trouble then you will think that you can do anything you want,” he continuously said.
“What.. what did you just say?” I asked.
“Why, you did not know?” Ficus asked in return.
“H-hey!” he suddenly yelled after I run pass through him.
I was pretending when I asked him about what he was talking about since I really did not understand what he just said.
But it was the only way I thought that would make him be at ease. In that way, I will be able to pass when his focus is not on the way.
Well, what can I say... it worked!
“Ash!” I then immediately yelled which caught his attention.
He tilted his head on my direction before standing up to face me.
“S-sorry, master I tried to stop her,” Ficus explained while breathing heavily behind.
“Just go,” Ash instructed which made Ficus leave.
He then gazed at me and raised one his eye brows like asking why I was there.
“I need to talk to you,” I straight forwardly said.
“What do you need. I have already set your friends free,” he smirked like a crazy man who just came out of the mental hospital.
I could not help my hands from forming a fist because of how arrogant he looked right now but suddenly felt the pregnancy test from my hand.
I almost forgot about why I came here.
I then calmed myself down for a bit before exercising my fist and opening it to release my anger.
After making sure that I will not make a scene which will only get me in trouble I raised the pregnancy test and showed it to him.
His forehead instantly formed a curve which obviously showed how confused he is with what I showed to him.
“Do you see the two lines on it? It says positive and it means I am pregnant,” I managed to say even though my knees were already trembling.
I have been practicing every night for the best line I should say to him when I finally meet him but these words came out from my mouth.
The courage I have been building up for almost a week has finally built this day. The day when I decided to let him know about the fruit of his doing.
I do not want to expect anything from him but I just want him to realize that what he did to me was not only below the belt especially after he did not even felt guilty about it.
“So?”
