AND SO IT ENDS! (SLOW UPDATES)

Chapter 3

Just when I thought that my first periods were the only embarrassing moment of the poor barely maturing self, I was completely wrong. Despite Noah having material to blackmail me with, it was truly the beginning of the end; at least that's what it felt like to me. And what's worse is when my mum starts telling practically every friend within reach about my "legendary" story of how I started my periods, things just keep on proving that they going to get worse.  

Starting to have periods is probably the best way possible for someone to start "the road to womanhood", as my dearest mother would always say. I give that an eye roll and a "yeah right". In all honesty, someone should please explain to me how it is a big deal for a girl specifically. In the olden times, I guess I would have understood since that's when it's time for our species are handed over in form of marriage. But in in this generation, that is quite absurd.

If you don't believe me, there's another example to show how. Remember when I said that he would take full advantage of my humiliating period story, well that was what he did. Since in my school feasted on embarrassment, it provided the conducive environment for his blackmail. One could ask, "What kind of best friend would do something like that?" The answer to that Noah isn't like that at all. It's just that he likes making me to believe that. The first thing he made me do was to admit my crush to this boy by the name of Alvin.

Let me get this I had never had a crush on him. It just happened that my reactions towards him mislead people think that I like the guy. If anyone was wondering if he was cute in any way, allow me to burst your bubble and say no. I'm not saying it according to my opinion but as an actual fact. He was not pretty.

Any ways, he and I were in the same estate ever since I was seven years. He was a basic pain in the ass who was more of the middle man of the, "bully gang"; a local group of boys who just cause trouble for the sake of it, as I would rather describe, "a bunch of lifeless, attention seeking cowards." I had quite some run-ins with them and now that one of them in now in my class, it doesn't settle well with me, to say the least.

He wasn't the only one who had that assumed that ridiculous notion; also some of our other friends totally agreed with Noah and even went to an extent of giving out a ship name; Esvin. Ridiculous! I know, just because I happened to know the guy now everyone thinks we were a thing. They try to make us as close as possible.

How? It was what I considered the most uncreative way possible. I was locked in class with the guy as they demanded that I confess my undying crush on him. It was simply impossible for me to get some sense to sink in. Firstly, I dumbstruck with how they could expect me to straight up start spewing out my crush on him; which I couldn't, even if it wasn't in such circumstances and I actually had a crush on him.

So I did the next best thing; keeping quiet and have created some distance between us. Awkwardness diffused in the classroom, so thick that I could feel it. My friends didn't stop chanting and he was giving me the awkward but amused look. I was sure he was relishing my embarrassment and couldn't wait to use it against me out of school.

What to do? Being the next Einstein that I am, Iran to the door and started banging against it, praying to the goddess of goodluck to at least do me a solid. As if she heard me, the school bell rang,meaning that I was free until next time, which obviously would be and sadlyAlvin would still be a part of it.
