Was she just being spiteful to torment me?
Was the word David blurted out when he was drunk false?
The tenth test result arrived and I was too nervous to look.
"Jane, you're closing your eyes and not daring to look. Are you trying to refuse the result?"
Carrie's teasing voice forced me to glance at the pregnancy test. They were all negative.
I smiled bitterly. When I saw my disheveled reflection in the mirror, I was unsure whether I felt relieved or disappointed.
Since the test results proved that it was a joke, everyone looked at me.
Before Mark could say anything, Cassie said, "Alright, everyone… stop looking at Jane like that. She knows she messed up and I don't need her apology. This whole thing is my fault for taking the joke too far.”
She waved to the waiter to clean up the mess in the private room and ordered another case of liquor to keep the games going.
Suddenly, Mark grabbed a bottle and slammed it hard against my arm.
"Just because Carrie doesn't blame you doesn't mean you can act however you please. Consider this as a lesson."
“If you can’t handle it, then go home. Stop embarrassing yourself here!"
