Girl Problems

*Later that night*
9pm

We're all sitting in front of the wood heater eating rice and vegetables enjoying the warmth from the fire and each other's company while Nala lays on the couch eyeing off our food.

"So Trent, you've never really told us about yourself," says Alan,

"Well, I'm 17, I was born and raised in Melbourne and joined to help the army when the apocalypse started,"

"So you mean, you've only learnt how to use a gun recently?" Says Alan putting his hand on his forehead,

Trent chuckles "that's right, I was in town when it started, there was a crowd of people running from the explosion since there was bits of the lab flying all over the place, some peoples died, and that's when everything went wrong," says Trent gulping, "they came back to life."

"What about you, Nori?" Says Austin,

"Oh, well I'm not that exciting" I say, "I was also born and raised in Melbourne, I lived with my dad and I lost my mum at 13," I say,
Everyone goes silent and Alan offers to put the dishes in the sink and leaves me with Austin and Trent,

"I'm sorry about your mum," says Trent,

"It's okay, it was years ago," I say smiling over at him shyly,

"So, where are your parents?" I ask,

"They went for a holiday to Bali, I had school and exams so I had to stay, and I'm glad I did," he says smiling at me,

And before I reply I'm interrupted by Alan

"Oh.my.god. guyssss," says Alan from the kitchen, we all stand up thinking something's wrong but Alan runs into the lounge room holding a massive jar of chocolate pudding.

"LOOK WHAT I FOUND!" He says running around in circles holding the tin over his head in triumph and scaring Nala.
He comes and sits down with us and hands us all a spoon and we dig into it like pigs.

"It's been way too long since I've had something sugary," I say

"It's only been like two weeks," says Alan,

"Too.damn.long," I say shoving some more pudding in my mouth.

After 5 minutes the tin is empty, and we're all left laying on our backs holding our stomachs,

"Okay, I think I'm going to be sick," I say running upstairs into the bathroom, my stomach cramping like crazy. I don't end up vomiting, but I realise I've started my period. Have you ever watched a movie or zombie series and ever wondered what happens when a female gets her period in the middle of a zombie apocalypse? Yeah so do I.
"Shit," I say and I hear a knock at the door, "Nori?" It's Alan, "are you okay?" Says the ginger princess.

"I'm fine," I reply, wondering what the hell I'm going to do about this problem since my bag was left on the bus which was containing all my period shit.
"Can you fetch Trent for me?" I yell back and I hear Alan padder back down the stairs and yell for Trent.
Literally I hate being a female, I can't go out there because I have blood on my pants, but there was a mother living in this house right? She must have something.

"You wanted me Nori?" Says Trent, I can't exactly yell at him through the door "aye, go rummage through the mothers cupboard until you find some tampons or pads" ugh, I get up to open the door.

"Why are you holding your shirt down past your hips?" Asks Trent,

"I trust you a lot," I say, and Trent looks at me funny, "I need to ask you a favour,"

"Go ahead," says Trent reluctantly, and he should 100% be reluctant really,

"So I've uh," I say, "uhhh.."

"Uhhh?" Says Trent mocking me chuckling,

"I need you.." I say trailing off, "to go through the mothers draws, and find something that fixes lady problems," I say realising how ridiculous that sounds.

Trent stares blankly for a second and then turns red, "pads and tampoms!?" He basically yells and I near Alan say "what the fuck did he just say?" From downstairs,

I nod, feeling extremely embarrassed and Trent lets out a little giggle and leaves to go through the old owners draws for things that fix girl problems.
He returns within a few minutes holding a little pad bag and hands it to me,
"Can you also bring me some new clothes?" I ask feeling more embarrassed as he looks down at me while I continue to yank down my shirt to cover the stain. He goes red again and goes to get me some new clothes.
He comes back with pyjamas- really? Well at least they're comfortable.
I signal for Trent to leave and I shut the door. This boy is definitely a keeper.
I quickly change then open the door where Trent is waiting for me, I stand on my tippy toes and give him a quick kiss on the cheek which makes him turn beet red and smile at me cutely and I jog downstairs to where Alan and Austin are.
