Roseanne glances around the room, tapping her heels nervously against the cold steel of the exam table. There's a knock at the door that has Roseanne's heart rate pick up. She adjusts herself as best she can in the little paper gown they gave her.

The door cracks open and the doctor sticks a hand through the crack, he waves.

"Can I come in Miss Park?"

Roseanne clears her throat and gives him permission. He enters with a warm smile, a welcoming demeanor as if he can already tell she's nervous.

"So Miss Park, we're here today because you wanna play football?" Roseanne nods and the doctor continues."I'm doctor Soo Hyun, I'll be performing your physical today."

"Roseanne," she squeaks, "Please call me Roseanne."

The doctor nods, smile still in place, he takes a seat at the computer and starts typing away. The room is filled with the sound of tapping keys, Roseanne's palms begin to sweat.

"I'm going to check your vitals first, then we will move onto the physical exam."

Roseanne nods, the doctor stands to grab the blood pressure cuff, placing it carefully on her arm, he inflates it and takes his reading.

"120/80 a perfect blood pressure reading." He says then places his fingers against her radial pulse.

"70 beats per minute, a little fast, are you nervous?" Dr. Soo Hyun asks.

Roseanne nods, as the doctor examines her chest rise and fall.

"20 respirations per minute; again a little fast, there's no need to be nervous," he says as he places his stethoscope against her chest.

Satisfied with her breath sounds, he moves back to the computer to tap furiously against the keyboard again. Roseanne plays with her fingers as he types, nerves growing with the minutes.

Being thirteen, she's still growing into her body.

Being a female with a penis was awkward enough, having it inspected was the worst.

"Time for the invasive part of the exam," Dr Soo Hyun says, "Are you a smoker?"

Roseanne shakes her head.

"Great, what about drugs?"

Roseanne shakes her head again.

"Awesome, and finally are you sexually active?"

Roseanne's eyes grow wide and her face tints pink, remembering that moment at Lisa's party last month when her and Suzy got locked in the bathroom together. It was unexpected but not unwelcome, that's for sure.

Roseanne nods her head after a minute passes by, "Please don't tell my dad," she whispers.

"My lips are sealed Roseanne, nothing we discuss has to leave this room. However, since you are sexually active I would like to perform and exam to check for STI's is that alright?" Dr Soo Hyun says.

Roseanne nods and stands up from the exam table, time for the moment she was dreading.

"If you could just lift your gown for me. Thank you." He says.
