(Jo walks around for a minute and then goes to the womans health isle)

(She picks up the box, looks back and forth for a second, and then sticks it under her shirt)

(She looks back up and then walks to the register)

Cashier: hey, how can I help you sweetie?

Jo: can I just use your restroom really quick?

Cashier: yep.

(He turns around, grabs the key, and hands it to her)

Cashier: go to you right. First door next to the gatorade fridge.

Jo: thanks.

(She hurries to the bathroom)

(The Pees on the stick, puts it on the counter, and starts pacing back and forth)

Jo: come on. What is taking so fucking long!?

(She stares at the test as it develops)

Jo: come on... come on...

(Her hands shake)

(The control line appears)

(Jo gasps)

(She looks at the instructions)

Jo: oh...

(She continues to stare at the test as the urine reaches its way to the test line)

(And... there it is)

(A big pink line)

(Positive)

Jo: Fuck!

(She puts the stuck in her pocket and tosses the box in the bin)

(She storms out of the bathroom to the register)

(She tosses the key on the counter and leaves)

(She goes back to school and continues on with her day)
