Periods

A story about someone else 😃

I know this person in real life and for privacy reasons, all names are changed.

I have chorus second period and one day during the class a girl (we'll call her Jemma) asks to go to the bathroom. Five minutes later we're just hanging out with the teacher (because he's kinda like your older sibling's best friend that you look up to) and Jemma is blowing up this one girl's phone (we'll call her Riley). Riley takes out her phone and I'm standing behind her so I can see Jemma's messages to her. Riley starts complaining because Jemma got her period and was begging for a pad. Riley is saying stuff like "it's once a month how does she not have a handle on it" and "why doesn't she have one on her". Anyways, Riley only has tampons but Jemma doesn't want a tampon so Riley asks the girl standing on the other side of the piano if she has a pad and she says no.

(Side note: these girls are so unprepared smh 🤦‍♀️)

Jemma is probably freaking out bc she has like 5 minutes to sort it out before the bell rings because when the bell rings all the people on the first floor leave. She calls ANOTHER GIRL and the girl she called is like "why is Jemma calling me" and then a boy yells at a girl sitting under the table in the corner thinking it's Jemma. The girl under the table says that Jemma is not in the room and the fourth girl immediately picks up because i think she put it together. So the girl who has a pad gets it out of her bag and asks the teacher to go to the bathroom. 

The teacher has no idea what's going on so obviously he says no because Jemma is out and we only have five minutes. The girl with the pad opens her mouth to say something like "no, I need to give this to Jemma" and then we hear the door open and it's Jemma. I don't know why Jemma came back because she's bleeding and someone was going to come give her the pad. She's literally waddling like a penguin. Anyways, she's back and gets a pad out of her own bag and asks to go to the bathroom again. The teacher says no because she literally just came back from the bathroom and he still doesn't know what's up. Since us girls know that she needs to go now, Riley said something along the lines of "she's having an emergency, she needs to go now" and the teacher let her. 

I love this teacher so much because he is so chill and he let Jemma go to the bathroom after she came back from the bathroom which no other teacher does (yeah even the women don't let us). It's chorus tho and you don't hate on chorus it's a W class. Such an easy A.
