Earlier, nine years ago...
We were both ignoring the final bell that had sounded to signal the end of our break when Carrie eventually asked, "Are you going to tell your parents?" Carrie took the pregnancy test out of my hands as my hands began to tremble. "Roey, calm down. The test could be inaccurate!"
I put my palm on my forehead and leaned back against the restroom wall. I couldn't be experiencing this. My bag was knocked to the ground.
I said, more to myself than to her, "Carrie, that's the third pregnancy test I've taken, the third positive test." This is not possible. It was obviously a joke. Three tests, however, could not be lying.
