I took a pause.
A long pause as my eyes fell back down onto the key that hung around my neck.
Why did I choose to return to him?
I brushed my fingertips and his a smile as I recalled the reason.
"What can I say?" I said. "I guess I missed him. But mostly the way he made me feel. Like I actually mattered."
When I looked back up at the kids they all smiled at me.
"What?" I asked and they refused to tell me.
And that's when I felt it.
I was going to get mother natures present any minute.
"Hey do me a favor and behave or else I'll call Jett." I threatened while I searched for a tampon.
"Luna where are you going?"
"I have to use the bathroom because something unexpected came for me..." I trailed off as I displayed the tampon. "Try anything and your dead."
They all gulped and I left towards the bathroom where I needed to be before I stained everything with blood.
God I hate periods.
Wasn't it enough punishment to be conscious while giving birth? Like ow!
I locked myself in a stall and pulled up my skirt so it wouldn't get in the way.
I moved my thong and ripped the tampon packaging open and then inserted the damn ultra sized thing inside.
I didn't hurt, going in. But what was going to be painful was taking that little shit out.
I swear a piece of me dies every time I take an ultra sized tampon out.
Enough about tampons!
I returned into the classroom to find all the students quiet.
I wonder what happened.
Then I took a step inside the classroom and discovered why they wouldn't speak a word to me.
"There she is." A man's voice spoke as he slowly brought his hand together, clapping. "I trusted you to look after these kids and you weren't here."
I went to go open my mouth to speak but he silenced me.
"I don't want to hear any of your excuses McKenna." Jett said in a serious voice as he turned around.
I huffed.
He was making a scene in front of these kids. And you know what? I'll join him.
"No thank you." I said placing my hands on my hips.
"What did you say." Jett growled and I rolled my eyes at his behavior.
"I said no. Why because this is America and I have the right to freedom of speech." I spoke calmly. "Now I went to the bathroom because I got my period."
"Still doesn't-" I held up my finger at Jett.
He didn't like it when I did that but right now I don't give any free flying shits.
"I am not going to get blood all over these nice clothes. So I grabbed my ultra sized tampon and stopped the leak before it happened." I said. "Now if you can't seem to forgive me, why don't you try sticking an ultra sized tampon up your ass."
Jett's emotion left and I couldn't help but feel proud of myself.
I gazed over to the kids and saw a few smiles as others tried to hide their laughter.
