Blog #5

Right now I am reading The Test and its about this girl named Liselle who is 20 years old.  She gets this call from her old principle Mr.Spencer to tell her story to a group of female teenagers about her pregnancy story.  Liselle used to go to the same school as these same girls went to.  Liselle went into the library were she would meet with the group of students to tell them everything.. but it seemed that some of the girls in there had to respect for Liselle but none of them new anything about her because no one knew why they were in the library in the first place.  As Liselle started trying to talk there were girls talking over here or trying to make comments.  Talking about this topic wasn't easy for Liselle it made her recall all of her memories and how hard it was for her trying to move past it.

No one understands the things she's been through until they've experience it for them selfs. "What ever. I don't care what she has to say. How long we gotta be here?" Tarmara said not paying any attention to the fact Liselle was trying to get to the point of what she had to say.  A lot of the girls in the library didn't care about what Liselle had to say they've already heard the "pregnancy talk." a lot of times.. its just this wasn't just any talk this was someones personal experience and it meant something she agreed to share it with immature teenage females.  "Girl would you stop," snapped Nyeema. "The kid aint a doll." "What do you know?" " More then you!  You ever change a diaper or clean spit-up?" all Tarmara and Nyeema kept doing was arguing, at least Nyeema cared about what Liselle had to say.   Liselle carried on with her story she remembers being in the bathroom up stairs on the fourth floor of her school and 4:00pm after school she put a trash can in the way of the door and went into the last stall to take the pregnancy test. . . the test took 5 minutes for the results as she got them it said positive.  Liselle kept looking over and over again at the directions she couldn't process anything right.  A senior named Kendra went into the bathroom and was asking if she was alright or if she needed any help, Liselle was getting frustrated at the fact Kendra kept asking.  Liselle didn't know what to do because she thought that even though she didn't know Kendra that well she looked like the type of girl Liselle could trust.  Liselle changed her mind and told her "Keep your mouth shut." to Kendra she didn't want anyone to know why she was in the bathroom at four o'clock if everyone had already left.  Liselle got home and the last couple of days she's been trying to stall the hole pregnancy problem and attempting to do things that would help get her mind off it.   Lisellss mom works a lot of hours and barely gets to spend time with her children because of that her mom mad dinner and it was the one day her mom had off that week Liselle wasn't hungry but went to the table anyway all Liselle kept thinking about what the test and how her mom would react to the new..but now she's trying to figure out if the test was maybe wrong since she keeps doubting it.
