stortytime on how i got my first period.
So, basically, I got my first period when I was 13,
and it was, hands down, the most embarrassing moment of my life. Let me break it down.
It all started like a normal school day.
I was walking around campus, casually heading to class, when I bumped into my crush, Ethan.
You know, the guy I’d been crushing on forever. He was cute, popular, and a little bit of a dork —
perfect combination, right? Anyway, we started talking, and it was like one of those moments
where everything feels perfect. We were just chatting, and things were going smoothly. Too smoothly, to be honest.
Then, out of nowhere, as we were getting closer,
Ethan leaned in like he was about to kiss me. I was, like, about to die because, hello,
it’s my first kiss potential here, right? But just as he took a step back, I felt something wet and cold.
I looked down.
Blood.
It was literally running down my leg. And not just like a little bit,
but a full-on trail. Ethan’s eyes widened, and then I swear, he gagged.
I was mortified. He looked at me, then back at the trail of blood, and before I could even say anything,
he ran away looking disgusted.
I stood there for a solid 10 seconds, just processing what had just happened.
Like, did he just literally RUN AWAY because of my period?
And to make it worse, I was wearing white shorts. WHITE. SHORTS. The blood stained so bad that I was, like,
walking around campus with a bloody trail that everyone could see.
I had to walk all the way to the bathroom to try and fix this disaster, but here’s the kicker:
I didn’t have any pads or anything on me. So I had to use toilet paper as a pad
(which, by the way, is NOT effective at all)
while walking past people who were staring and laughing at me.
Like, people were literally looking at me like I was a walking crime scene. And I couldn’t even do anything about it.
Some people were whispering, others were just flat-out laughing, and I wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.
Finally, after what felt like hours (but was probably only like 10 minutes),
I made it to the bathroom, and I’m not even gonna lie —
I was almost in tears. I texted my best friend about the whole thing, and she just responded with a
million laughing emojis, which, honestly, didn’t help.
Moral of the story? If you ever get your period in white shorts and in front of your crush,
just know that the universe is cruel. ;(
