To Be Different

Chapter 11.

Everything was so weird on Monday.

My day started with cramps.

See, usually when I'm getting my periods.. I don't hurt.

Today it was just different I guess.

I wear a pad just in case I start at school. Natasha and Jeffery drop me at school.

I regret my decision of coming immediately when I sit in class.

It's like my intestines are being pulled. I'm hurting so bad.

I'm a sick girl!

I lay down on my desk ignoring the pain as much as possible.

Today was going to be a long day.

I don't notice the teacher talking. Everyone was already in class.

"Mrs. Shirley, this is not your room." He tells me.

I try to look up at him but my back only hurts more.

Is this really what period pains are like?

"Sorry!" I tell him, trying my level best to sit straight.

I set my mind to something else. Something much exciting.

Jeffery s smile.

It helps for a few minutes. Later, I feel my stomach burn.

It's hurting so bad that I can't even sit well anymore.

I look behind to Elaina and Hazel but I make eye contact with Paul first.

He looks like he's ready to jump out of his sit anytime soon.

What is wrong with him these days?

I pull my eyes from him and concentrate on Hazel.

I meet a murderous glare from her, avoiding me from starting my sentence.

I wanted her to help me. I really can't withstand the pain anymore.

"Ms Shirley, on your feet please and tell the whole class the problem with you."

I ignore him as I look down.

My body parts already seem to be tearing off each other.

"Jessica!" The man says sternly.

"I'm, I'm sorry. I can't." I tell him, pleading deep down that he will understand.

However, this only seem to madden him more.

"It's an order." He sounds very angry.

I'm not disrespecting him. I just can't.

"She said she can't!" A deep voice growls from the back.
The class erupts into large gasps and so much noise.
It wasn't supposed to be a big deal.
I don't look back to know who it belongs to, I already know.

The situation only worsens.

"I wasn't talking to you. Now Jessica,. With all due respect. I'm going to ask you one last time to stand up."

Whatever!

His decision was final

I compose myself to stand up. It hurts so bad when I do.

I hear large gasps when I do.

The class becomes noisy again and I freeze.

I didn't mess on myself right?

"Eeeuw." Hazel is the first to talk. "What kind of girl are you? You're so disgusting ."

Yep. I did.
