Horrid Henrietta's Curse

What hurts?

Henrietta was waking home from a long day at school. Unfortunately, Ralph got picked up early. Henry would have to ask permission from his parents to head to Ralph's house. Returning home, Henrietta immediately took off to the living room where she knew her parents would be. "Mom, dad, can I stay over at Ralph's?" She asked with pleasing eyes, clasping her hands together while getting on her knees dramatically. Her parents looked at each other in an unconvinced way, then turned their focus back on their son to be daughter. Henrietta's mom began having suspicions on her, now that she was a girl, she didn't know if the effects came to her to. Such as, periods, cramps, or hormones. The topic that worried her more was if she was growing an attachment to her friend, Ralph.

Ignoring the unidentified thoughts, she relentlessly agreed, "Yes, as long as you don't do anything horrid."

"I won't, thanks mom!" She exclaimed, getting on her feet and fleeing the house without hesitation. This only worried her parents a lot more.

Henrietta was in front of zealous house in almost an instant, she patiently waiting outside his door with a fast heart rate, over excitement flowing within her. Once he opened the door, he was found in his pajamas. This consists of an oversized shirt and baggy shorts with messy hair and half lidded eyes. One of Ralph's hand was on the doorknob, the other rubbing his eye harshly. Ralph shot up into realization after finding out who was in front of his door.

"Oh! hey, Henrietta!" He yelped, in a surprise to see her so early. "Hi Ralph! Are you ready??" She asked, "No, I lost track of time.. but I'll go get the papers!" Said Ralph, stepping aside as a form to let her in.

Recently, Henrietta has been having this deep urge to embrace Ralph, to hug or even fist bump him. Following for wantm behind, Henrietta day dreamed about the male.

Without thinking, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, without realizing before, she was slightly on her tippy toes. Not knowing if this was her regular height or her transformations doing. Ralph stiffened from the sudden hug, luckily, Ralph wasn't in front of her because he went a crimson red.
"W-What are you.." without finishing his sentence, she stuffed her face deeper into his neck, sending chills down his spine. He shuddered, confused of the affection given.

If things didn't get weirder already, her grip loosened and she began silently sobbing. Not loud enough for Ralph to hear, until he turned around and caught sight of Henrietta hiding or wiping her face. Ralph didn't know what to do in this situation, this is something the Henry he knew would never do, or even attempt. Ralph stepped closer to her, holding her by the waist and lifting her face with the tip of his finger.

"It hurts.." she cried, lowering her head. "What hurts.?" Asked Ralph, concerned for his best friend. "Everything.. h-hurts so much.." she let out, not being able stand on her own, Henrietta fell on her knees. 'Dude..' Ralph thought in shock, 'what the fu-'
