Shanya's POV

"Leah, I'm ready," I say as I walk into the bathroom on the fifth form block of our high school.

"Shanny, come here," she says and opens the stall door. I walk into the cubicle and close the door.

"Wah yuh in yah a do so long Lee?" I ask and she turns around and shows me the back of her uniform.

"Shanny mi uniform mess up and the cramping is so bad," she says, and I see the blood spot on her white dress.

"Tek it off mek mi wash it out fi yuh," I say but she starts crying.

"Lee, a wah do yuh," I ask, and she lifts the toilet seat. I am in shock; it is full of blood and some large clots.

"Lee, what's that?" I whisper.

"I don't know and the pads not holding it Shan," she cries, and I hug her.

"Shan, Lee unu no ready?" Trudy calls out to us.

"Trudy gwaan lef wi, Lee period come, mi ago wash out her uniform," I say.

"Alright, tomorrow," she says and leaves the bathroom.

"Lee yuh did pregnant?" I whisper and she shakes her head saying no.

"Mi no get mi period fi over two months but yuh know a so it irregular, mi no pregnant Shanny," she asks more than states.

I take my bag off my back and take out the black scandal bag with my dance clothes in it. I take the leotard and fold it like a pad. Mummy said that if ever I'm in a situation where I don't have any sanitary pads, I can fold a piece of cloth or old underwear and that will work just fine rather than going without.

"Tek off yuh dress," I say and help her remove both her dress and the slip.

I get on my knees and pull down her underwear, the pad is already almost full. I remove it and take two pads from my pouch and fit them from the front of her panty to the back. I then place the folded Leotard on top and pull up back her panty.

I remove my dance tights and help her put it on, "go wash out the blood out of your slip and uniform," I tell her and close the door after she leaves.

I take out the small plastic bag that I carry in my pouch to put used pads and I put it on my hand like a glove. I dip my hand in the toilet and start removing the big clots of blood, putting them in the scandal bag that I took my dance gears out of. I remove six and then I flush the toilet, remove the plastic bag from my hand, put it in the scandal bag and tie it.

I open the door and Leah is standing at the sink crying, "I can't tell Daddy," she sobs.

"Hey, we won't, but we need to tell Mummy, she'll give us money for the doctor," I say, and she nods. I take her uniform and quickly wash it out before I help her put it back on.

"I'm sorry, Shanny," she says.

"For what?" I ask as I fan out her dress to help it dry.

"For letting you have to see this..." she starts but I cut her off.

"Don't ever say that; it has always been you and me and that will never change. I will be here for you through the worst, and nothing is too much for me to do for you. You are my sister and I love you so stop crying, I'm going up to the office to call Mummy and get her to meet us downtown," I say and hug her.

She screams out in pain and releases me to grab her belly, I help her out of the bathroom and put her in the classroom to sit.

Jesus Christ!
