Savage Days for the Gentle

Chapter 8: Starting the Plan

Another morning of a dehydrated outskirt of the city. I stretched my arms until I touched the walls. I heard clamoring from outside of my room as I checked, they were really excited. Last night was tough, but we can do this! "Rise and shineeee!" Naomi declared. "Good morning to you all!" I announced. "Don't forget this, these, this, and this." Rainee bunched up a ton of Jake's products and brochures in my hands. "Thanks, Rainee." I sincerely said. "How about breakfast? I can't have a grumpy stomach without a meal." I casually demanded. "Hold on a second, we are also hungry! But, the food is prepared on the table. Lezgooo." Naomi uttered.

AFTER BREAKFAST

My roommates and I parted in different places. I am in charge of the ground floor of the building, Rainee is outside waiting, while Naomi is waiting for people on the third floor. There in the entrance, I saw Jake prepared with his kit. "Oh hey!" He called me. "Hi!" I responded. "Okay, you gals are now settled. I'll go to the second floor." He said. I gestured in agreement, and he departed.

Right now, it's 7:15 AM when students are appearing gradually. 7:18 is the time we do it!

Yes, 1 more minute...

ROCK N ROLL! Rainee used the megaphone to speak. "Dearest students of Hampton University, good morning to all. I am privileged to share this message with you. As you see, I have my teammates scattered around the campus to tell you about a thing that is taboo, huh. Here we present the blood incident that happened a few weeks ago!" She announced. Great, she did well...wait, SHE MISSED ONE MORE LINE-

"Oh, and please do not be surprised about it cuz we will request some heart-warming testimonies from you to empower the women for their bodies, ALL RIGHT!" She continued. Phew, thank God her confidence level was more than the height of this school. I sat back on the chair because I have a mini booth to facilitate all the girls' things. I greeted whoever passed by with a smiley good morning. Some of them greeted me back, while others ignored me. Sure, this is normal for mornings

As I waved them to approach my booth, I gave a simple speech or indirectly talk about periods and it goes like this:

Hello there! I would appreciate your consideration to listen to a short message for the day. No matter if the girl tries to hide her secret, it will always be revealed in the end. Wherever you may be, you have to prepare for the revelation, and worst, to carry the burden of withstanding the most painful truth. Eventually, it will gush out so you need a backup for protection. Although it's covered, no one else will notice it unless it becomes a disaster. But I tell you, we should not be worried about the truth because it happens to every girl. Be the person who is prepared for emergencies! Kindly proceed to the classrooms 2-4A on the second floor as your assistant will help you get what you need. Thank you!

After giving an inspirational speech, I distributed flyers that are actually a map to further guide them to the stations of Jake and Naomi. It was becoming breathy as I kept on repeating my speech to whoever approached my stall. However, I noticed Carol walking up to me. I wonder what she's at again...

She gave me a disgusted look and tried to knock on my stall. "Hey back off! You will be the one to repair this, do you want that?" I snubbed her off confidently. She opened her mouth like an O with a sassy shock. "Hmph! Watch who you mess with next time, REESE!" She flipped her hair as she left my spot. But thank goodness, I was able to stand for the good, and I am doing my job right! Pat, pat there, Reese

LATER

It's been 20 minutes and students are passing by my stall. Oof, this is tough to persuade people. I'm worried though because they might approach the stations of the other two up there without going to mine. Rainee will help me get some customers, while I introduce to them the message of Jake's new product. After which, I will lead them with the flyers to Jake's stall. Then, he will provide the essential kits for women and a brochure for men. He will give another flyer, leading to the last station on the third floor. This is where our auditorium is located if my memory serves me right. The last part of the mini-course allows ladies to share their testimonies of their savage days.

Yes! Now I get the flow, but so far, I've consulted with 30 people in this room. I can see Rainee is trying her best to attract people, especially the female students. Sigh, this is a challenge that I did not expect at all.

*RING RING*

Yep, let me see some updates from the other squad. "Guys! I'm sorry, but no one has entered my booth yet." Naomi updated with a sad emoji. "Oh no! Do you think they find all this cringy?" Rainee commented. "No, not at all. We just need more engagements in our booth. Don't worry we can do this!" Jake encouraged us. I'm glad I have the fam to be with, and I almost forgot I have a group.

As I continued to stare at Jake's message, I felt a presence in front of me. Oh, Ms. Sweeny! "Hello, teacher!" I greeted her enthusiastically. She greeted me back and asked, "This is your plan with Jake?" I answered, "Yes, Ma'am. However, no one has yet to visit the last booth in the auditorium. We expected people, actually ladies, to share their experiences of red days." I explained. Ms. Sweeny was in deep thought, until she proclaimed, "Okay, I'll go to that auditorium. Maybe I should register here?"

Yes! You are an angel, Ms. Sweeny. "Thank you so much! Anyways, hello there!" I started off with my prepared speech. "Thank you for the message, dear!" She said as the map unfolded in her hands and proceeded to the second floor. I immediately confirmed to the squad about Ms. Sweeny.

"Yehey! At least we have one witness. Thanks for the effort!" Jake first replied. "We've done it, guys! Time to broadcast it on the TVs of every classroom." Rainee said in the chat. "Not yet mehn, She still has to undergo Jake's booth. Excited?" Naomi teases Rainee. "Okay meanie." Rainee answered back.

Chuckles, this is a blessing in disguise. The testimony shall indeed be a successful moment of our plan.
