"Alright! Try the pregnancy test. There are instructions written inside. Just follow the steps." The staff scanned the pregnancy test and helped her with the payment.
After the payment, Shelly immediately shoved the pregnancy test into her bag and hurried back to her apartment.
Courtney had just spent the last bit of her savings and was packing to go home.

I don't want to get into another big fight with my family. Living with no money sucks." "Just apologize to them first. I'm sure they don't want to see you suffer." Shelly set her bag down to walk Courtney out of the apartment.
"What medicine did you buy?" Courtney glanced at the bag.
"Oh... My period is late by a few days. It's not a big deal." "Oh, that's normal, isn't it? It's not like it's a few months late. I once went on an extrdiet, and I didn't get my period for two months straight," Courtney said with a smile. "It's normal for cycles to be irregular from tto time, so don't worry." "Sure. Do you have money for a taxi?" Shelly helped Courtney with her bags, and the two stepped out of the apartment. "Yeah, I still have smoney left. It's the weekend, and I figure my parents will both be home." Courtney stopped and grabbed the bag in Shelly's hands. "I will get going now. Rest well during the weekend! I will contact you once I get them to fund our business idea." Shelly did not take Courtney's words seriously as the funds required to start a business were enormous, costing in the thousands or millions.
After the chaos Courtney had caused, her parents would never agree to give her such a big amount of money all of a sudden. Shelly watched as Courtney entered the elevator, before heading back into the flat.
She locked the door behind her and exhaled a long breath.
"I can't be pregnant, right? Please don't tellI'm pregnant!" she mumbled to herself as she went over to the coffee table to grab the pregnancy test.
After studying the instructions carefully, she took the pregnancy test out of the package and headed into the bathroom.

"I can't be pregnant... It was just one time. A friend from my village didn't get pregnant despite trying for three years, so it's not that easy to get pregnant... Why else would there be so many advertisements for products that treat infertility?" she mumbled as she circled around the living room.

'I have never dated, nor am I married. If I'm pregnant, how am I supposed to explain myself to my family and friends?!' she thought.
