Pregnant At Thirteen by Dalisha Truzy (read e books online free .txt) 📕

"Are you serious? It wasn't even that far. We run around the football field during gym class at least three times and it's further than we walked," Capri joked.

"Yeah...don't remind me," she replied as they scanned the aisles.

Sasha picked up a two-liter Coke, chips, milk, and bottle vitamins before heading to the back of the store to pick up her mom's medication.

After receiving her medication and paying for it they continued to look around for a little bit longer as they made their way over by the makeup aisle.

"My mom won't even let me wear any make-up. She says that I'm too young to have my face all painted up like a two-dollar hoe, but I can't help it though cause I love to make up!" Sasha said excitedly as she picked up a shade of pink lipstick. 

"Well honestly I hate to agree, but your mom is right. We're only thirteen even though we both turn fourteen this year. That's a little on the young side to be wearing makeup. I don't really care too much for it even though I love me some lip gloss. Gotta keep the lips popping," Capri said with a smile as she picked up some red strawberry kiwi lip gloss.

" Make-up just makes me feel cool and older. I hate looking so young. All of my friends are so immature and I'm so different from them. I'm into fashion, make-up, pumps, hair, and nails," Sasha stated as she grabbed two lipsticks, a black eyeliner, and a compact eyeshade.

"If your mom catches you with that in your face she's gonna beat you until you're black and blue," Capri warned while shaking her head from side to side.

"She wants," Sasha simply stated as they turned down another aisle, but was shocked to see one of their classmates, Nesha Bowden, with a protruding belly.

"Hey, Nesha the girls both said in unison as they looked down at her stomach.

" Hey y'all, " Nesha said back dryly as she diverted her eyes down to the floor as if she was embarrassed.

"I haven't seen you in school in a while. I had almost forgotten what you looked like," Capri said while trying to make light of the awkward situation.

"Yeah... It's been a minute," she replied as she held onto the baby bottles and pampers.

"Whatcha' means you haven't seen her at school in a while? Don't you see her big bel....," Sasha barely could get out before Capri nudged her in the side of her arm with her elbow.

Nesha just stared at her as if she wanted to say something but decided against it.

"So...do you know what you're having?" Capri questioned curiously.

"Yeah... I'm having a boy. I'm actually due next month," she said.

"Next month. It looks like you're about to burst now. How much bigger are you supposed to get?" Sasha questioned wide-eyed.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! I don't know, but that's at least what the doctors told me," she said.

"So when you have the baby are you coming back to school?" Capri questioned curiously.

"Umm...I don't know. For now, I'm getting homeschooled. Not sure if going back to school would be a good decision for me. I bet all the kids know by now, but we will see," Nesha said.

"You're probably right," Sasha agreed.

"Well I'll see y'all around cause my grandma is waiting outside in the car," she said as she darted off towards the front of the store.

"Okay...bye," they said in unison.

"Grandmother? I thought that she stayed with her mom," Sasha questions with furrowed eyebrows and a wrinkled forehead.

" She does. Well, at least I think that she does. Maybe her grandmother just drove her here, " Capri stated.

"Or maybe her mom kicked her out when she found out that she was pregnant," Sasha replied.

Capri thought about it for a minute and just hunched her shoulders.

Seeing Nesha had gotten Capri to thinking. So many thoughts were going through her head all at once. She had just realized that she hadn't had a period in over two months. She looked over at Sasha before speaking.

"So what do you think about Nesha being pregnant at thirteen?" Capri questioned curiously as she looked over at her as they headed towards the front of the store.

"For one that's her problem and not mine. For two she shouldn't be doing what grown folks do. For three she should have had the common sense to not even go there with a poor. Now her life is gonna be a living hell. That's a shame," Sasha said all in one breath as she shook her head from side to side in disappointment.

Sasha looked to the side of her cause she didn't hear anything from Capri. So she turned around to look behind her to see that Capri was standing on an aisle. She turned around and walked over beside her.

"So what made you ask me that questioned?" She asked her while noticing that Capri didn't comment back.

"Capri, what are you staring at?" Sasha questioned as she followed her eyes to see what she was looking at on the shelf.

Capri picked up the pregnancy test and stared at it before flipping it over to the back.

"What! A pregnancy test. When? How? You can't be. Nooo!" Was the last thing that was heard as her screams echoed throughout the store.

"Oh, my God Capri.!What is taking you so long? What does it say?" Sasha questioned impatiently.

"Hold on, hold on. I'm coming. Give me a minute, " Capri says as she busted out of her bathroom door as she stepped inside of her bedroom.

She looked up to see Sasha sitting on the foot of her bed with a worried look spread across her face.

''Is it doing anything yet?" Sasha questioned as she got up from off of the bed.

 ''It says wait for like five minutes, " Capri replied as she continued to look at the stick that was in her hand.

"I swear that this seems like the longest five-minute wait ever," Sasha says as she exhales while rolling her eyes up into the back of her head.

Sasha sits back at the foot of the bed and crosses her legs.

Capri sits the pregnancy test down on her nightstand as she sits down in her computer chair behind the desk. Flash floods of memories begin to take over her head.

That day that she was invited to one of her friends Denise's birthday party. She remembered hanging out, conversing, eating, dancing, and drinking some fruit punch. Something about that fruit punch didn't taste quite to right. Maybe somehow someway someone had spiked the drink. Seconds later her stomach starts to churn so she told her friend that she would be back and rushed up to the bathroom upstairs.

By the time she had made it up to the bathroom and had thrown up all over the place she heard a door close and footsteps behind her. When she turned around she had seen a blurry vision of a boy due to her steady flow of tears. She remembers the boy saying something to her and the rest of what happened seems to have been one whole total blur.

The screaming, horror, hurt, pain, tears, agony, and rape that she had endured was like something that she had never experienced before.

"Capri! Capri! Your test is reading positive. Oh my God! What are you gonna do?" Sasha shouted out as she shook Capri out of her daze as she started jumping around like a chimpanzee.

"I'm pregnant? What? I'm pregnant! I don't know what I'm going to do," Capri said in a state of shock as she sighed.

She shook her head from side to side while tears started sliding down her cheeks.

Just then there was a knock on the bedroom door before the doorknob turned and his head stuck through the door.

Capri quickly wiped her face and grabbed the pregnancy test and stuffed it under her behind.

"Hey, sweetie, and hello Sasha. How are you doing?" He questioned as he walked over towards her to give her a hug.

"Hello Mr. C," Sasha said with a smile.

"Hey, daddy. I'm doing good," she says with a fake smile.

"That's good, but you look like you were crying. Is everything okay?" He questioned as he slid his finger down the side of her cheek to wipe away the tear.

"I'm okay. My allergies and sinus are just acting up from earlier today when I was outside, " she lied.

"Okay... As long as you are okay. Just make sure to take some of your medicine to clear all of that up. I was just gonna tell you that your mom had made some Reese's Pieces cookies. Would you two like some?" He questioned.

Sasha looked over at Capri and shook her head up and down yes.

"Yeah...sure," Capri replies with a hunch of her shoulders.

 "Okay, I'll send your mom up with the cookies, " he says as he turns around to exit the bedroom.

Soon after he had left the bedroom Sasha looked over at Capri.

"Capri, you've never told me that you've had sex. When was this? Who was it with and why didn't I know all of this?" Sasha says all in one breath.

Capri looked around from left to right as her eyes for as big as saucers. She placed her pointer finger to her lips.

"Shhh! What are you trying to do get me caught up or something? I'll tell you, but not right now. Not here," she says.

"Oops, sorry," Sasha says just as Capri's mom walked into the bedroom with a plate full of cookies.

"Well, here you go, girls, and enjoy, " she says as she placed the tray full of cookies down on the bed.

"Thanks, mom. We're going to take this outside in the back. Do you happen to have some of that good lemonade of yours made?" Capri questioned.

"Yes, sweetie I sure do. I'll go take out of the refrigerator and get out some cups for you. Just stop through and get it on your way down," she says as she makes her exit out of the bedroom.

Capri grabbed her cell phone and her laptop before shutting off her radio. The girls made their way out of the bedroom, descending the stairway, and into the kitchen.

Sasha grabbed the pitcher and the cups and the made themselves more comfortable under the gazebo. It was big, nice and roomy. A trampoline was to the left. The patio was connected to the back porch with a huge grill on the side of the house. The swimming pool, basketball court, and tennis court were located further in the back.

Capri pours them some lemonade while Sasha crunched on some cookies.

Once settled Capri exhaled as she nervously looked around to make sure that no one was around and that she wasn't anywhere in-ear range.

"Okay, now I can answer your questions. Do you remember Denise's party that I went to a while back?" She questioned.

"Yeah, .what about it?" Sasha said curiously.

"Well, there was a reason why I'd never liked attending parties. That's why you and the girls had to nearly beg me to go to that last party cause I had a bad experience," Capri admitted.

"Bad experience? What had to experience? What happened? " she questioned.

 Well, All I remember was conversing with friends, eating, dancing,
