Black Rape

Chapter Eight

I've been avoiding Sam ever since that incident happened.
I guess I just don't know how to face him anymore.
A lot of things had been happening this few weeks. I have barely caught full eight hours of sleep and its beginning to affect me. Eye bags under my lashes. And I was losing weight. School work was piling up and it wasn't helping me that I was on my period.

Sandra(one of my class and project mates) passed by me

"Good morning" she gave a dashing smile

"Good morning" I winced out of pain as my menstrual cramps set in

"What's wrong?" She asked in concern

"It's just my cramps"

"Oh" she sat down"you're on your period" she touched my neck but it wasn't hot,I usually have high temperature when its my time of the month.

"At least your temperature is still normal"

"Yes,I guess the cramps won't be that bad,besides I forgot my drugs at home so I can only pray it doesn't hurt so much"

"Yea. Thank God I'm not you, I can barely stand pain"

"Funny you" I smiled a little "I have no choice"

"Oh" she tapped her head in remembrance "yemi"

"Yes"

"I have to go do somethings"

"Like?"

"My brothers stuffs,Mom mustn't know about it"

"The rebellious children"

"Going to skip class,sorry I'm leaving you"she strapped on her backpack

"It's no problem"

Thirty minutes later

Okay this isn't fair. I held my stomach squeezing it and rubbing it sometimes hoping the pain would subside. It was so painful. Different thoughts ran through my head as the pain went on

Why do I have to be a girl?

Why does it hurt so much?

Why is it only girls that experience this?

Boys should feel this too

It's so unfair.

Why do I have to bleed

Tears started dropping down my face,the pain had increased, I felt my neck for my temperature and it was already hot. I held my stomach again trying to calm down but it hit me again, I held on to the helm of my skirt, holding it tightly while my second hand laid on my stomach. It hit me again. This time I knew I had to surrender to the pain. So I just started crying,moaning in pain. My head began to ache too. I try to stand up but my legs are weak and they hurt too. My menstrual cramps are always bad. Most times I just stay home. I kept crying wishing i could remove my ovaries or whatever so the pain reduces

Samuel
Yemi has been avoiding since the past two weeks,ever since I tried kissing her. After she left that day anytime she sees me she pretends not to. And when I try to start a conversation she finds a way to cut it short or get out of it.

I don't know,maybe I shouldn't have kissed her

Oh!really

No,I like the kiss,I just don't know about her. She won't even talk to me

Try talking to her again

I don't know if I should, what if she just shuts me up again
