CHAPTER 24

Joelle-

Sitting in a paper gown with a skimpy sheet blanket across my lap is kind of embarrassing. Not to mention I just had to answer a bunch of personal questions. Thank God my mother decided to stay outside. Even though a part of me wishes she were in here to hold my hand. “Okay, Joelle, I know I’ve asked you a lot of things, but do you have any questions before we start the exam?”

I shake my head. “No, ma’am.”

She cocks her head to the side. “Are you sure? You know this stays between us, I won’t tell your mom or anyone else.”

I sigh. “Well.” I stop and then start again. “Well, how long before you know the pill goes into effect?” I fidget with the small sheet. “I mean I’m not planning-.”

She puts her hand up. “Joelle, it’s perfectly fine to ask this question. It will take a week or so for the pill to get in your system. But I will warn you that you should be using condoms, too. Neither are one hundred percent, but condoms help to protect from STDs. Just remember that sex is a big emotional decision.”

“Yes, ma’am,” I say with a small nod.

“Okay, lie back for me and scoot your behind down to the edge of the table. Just try to relax, okay? I know this is going to be uncomfortable. Just remember to breathe.”

A little while later, I’m up front with my mom checking out. About the time that the doctor hands me my prescription, I see Mrs. Atwood.

Maybe I can crawl under a rock and die right now.

“Well hey, dear,” Collin’s mom says.

“Hey, Mrs. Atwood.” I try to sound normal, instead of mortified like something in the room is screaming “Hey, I’m going to have sex with your son!”

My mom steps forward. “Hello, I know we’ve met briefly through the Touchdown Club, but I’m Faith Prescott. Your son, Collin, is a delight.” Jeez, Mom, lay it on thick.

Mrs. Atwood smiles. “I hope he is. Please let me know if he’s not.” She laughs. “I’m Ella Mae. It’s really a pleasure. Joelle is just the sweetest girl. I know she’s helped Collin so much in school.” She reaches forward and clasps my shoulder. “We’re so grateful, too.”

She and my mom make casual conversation about all of the events coming up before they call Mrs. Atwood back. Apparently there is a big meeting coming up with the Touchdown Club.

As Mom and I walk out of the office I can’t hold it anymore, I burst out laughing. “Oh my god, Mom. That was so awkward.”

She shakes her head. “Honey, it shouldn’t be. Every woman is supposed to go get a checkup once a year. Ella Mae was probably there for hers. It’s just one of the many perks God handed over to us as females.”

“I need that note for school,” I say after we’re in the car headed for school.

Mom hands it to me. “I’ll go get these filled so you can get started since it’s the first of the week.
