"Hey, listen to me real quick." I spoke quickly to my bestfriend as I sat down on my seat.

"Hmm?" She hummed while observing her notes from the class.

"This is serious. Please." I sounded.. desperate.

Now she looks at my worried face, "Why? What's wrong?"

"Dude, I- I think I got my periods." I said looking in front, I could feel my face heating up.

"Shit bro, this is- this is not good. Do you have extra pads?" She asks - panicking herself, and looking around.

"That is the problem- I don't carry them!" I quietly yelled in frustration.

"Oh no.. quick let's ask the others!" She suggests.

"Uhh.." I hesitate for a good minutes deciding whether to ask the others or just.. be like for the rest of the day.

"Okay.. let's do that. Good."

We tapped our friend who sat in front of us, "Hey Addya."

"Yes?" She questions as she turns herself towards us.

"Do you.. have extra pads?" I ask her nervously - hoping that she would have them.

"Oh.. no I am so sorry I don't carry them." She quickly apologizes in a low and timid voice.

My heart sank, "Oh- that's fine"

And we now looked at the seat behind us - where our close friends sat, and I asked them in a rather worried voice, "Guys. Listen, do you have extras?" Oh, how desperate I was hoping to hear a - yes.

Both of them had a sad expression, and I knew that I was screwed. "No, sorry man.."

"That is fine, don't apologize.." And I turn back to my sit and look at my bestfriend, who was trying not to laugh.

"Are you really laughing when I am here - struggling, fighting for life? Huh?" I question her in a low voice with my brows drawn together in a frown - almost crashing into each other. How dare this lady laugh at my misery? Humph.

"No I am not, the thing is that - this is kind of awkward and wholesome." She says holding her laughter with a red face.

I just make a face and think, What do I do now? This girl ain't helping me one bit. And I gasp and look at her and say, "Should I go to the Aya Didi and ask if she has one..?"

"Oh yes! Go! Good idea." She somewhat encourages me, and I stood up and asked our Mathematics Teacher if he could excuse me, and he gave me the permission to go out. And oh boy, the way I bolted out of the class, hah.

I was walking, I did not dare to run. God, why was the girl's washroom so far from our class? When I did reach the washroom, I spotted a Didi sitting near by, so I quickly approached her and bent down and asked, "Didi, do you have pads..? I am on my periods, and I don't have any."

And she had the same countenance as my friends, "No dear.. but wait-"

And after a lot of effort, I finally got a pad. No one knows what kind of dangerous thoughts I had when I was standing there, I had a million thoughts running through my half baked brain. Am I actually going to get one anytime soon..? Why she taking so long? This is embarrassing, why is everyone looking at me? Oh my god, do I have stain or what? Please hurry Didi!

The moment when when I entered the class after what seemed to be like a century, I looked at my friends and gave them a thumbs up. My face literally screaming, 'Mission Accomplished.'

Ever since that day I carry two extra pads with me. And so should you!
