 I suddenly am hit with a wave of dysphoria 

"Oh fuck"

Well, there goes my feeling of masculinity

I sulk back to the classroom and whisper a question into my friend Marie's ear

"Do you by any chance have an extra pad?"

She hugs me

"It's ok Nathan. You are SO manly. You are handsome and the best friend ever"

She hands me her small red bag

Her quote "shark repellent pack"

I grin and walk back to the bathroom

I smile even wider when I notice that she put a dark chocolate bar in the bag

"I love you so much Marie"

My dysphoria is quieted by my love and happiness for now
