Well as long as you with pretend boyfriend, you need to be taking something.

You right. I’m not trying to get knocked up. But I don’t want my mother finding no pills either.

Girl, I’m telling you, you need to go to the clinic with me and get that shot everybody else getting now. If you under eighteen, you ain’t gotta pay.

I’m scared to get that shot. Everybody who get it turn fat and baldheaded.

Hate to tell you, but chick you already there.

So. You right there with me.

We could get the sticks. Then we won’t be able to get pregnant for five years. This lady came to gym to talk to us about it that one day you wasn’t there. That’s free too.

But everybody say once they put those sticks in your arm nobody will take them out.

Take em out for what if they in there so you won’t get knocked up?

I don’t know. If you change your mind, I guess.

Yeah, I guess you could want to change your mind.

Like my Ma friend Myrtle got four kids and didn’t want no more but she swole up like a balloon and was bleeding through her pants all the time with that stuff. We saw it in her arm cause she used to make them sticks wriggle like worms. But her doctor said they had to stay for five whole years or she had to pay 500 dollars. So she had to go to the emergency room when she tried to dig em out herself with a razor.

Damn, that’s messed up.

See that’s what I’m sayin.

So, let’s get that shot. They say that’s only for about six months. If we get fat and won’t stop bleeding, then we won’t get it again. I just know I’m not trying to get pregnant cause I don’t want to be on no public aid. Cuz damn I do like doing it. Don’t you?

Yeah I like it. And I guess having a baby is worse than having a gut or a bald head.

Well let’s go to the clinic together and get that shot.

Alright. Let’s go right after seventh period today and walk in before it get busy.

Okay. Meet me at the vending machines by the side door right after the bell.

Cool. Peace out.
