Project X

Project X (4)

I clutched my stomach as a wave of nausea hit me and I leaned against one of the lockers against the wall.

I wonder if I'm getting my period, I thought wide-eyed as I remembered when I noticed it on my mama.

I wandered into her room to see mama angrily chewing a bar of chocolate as she saw something in spanish, "Why are you angry mama?" I asked her eyeing the chocolate bar.

"Its that time of the month," She blurted out and I cocked my head to the side.

"What?"

"Oh, you don't know about that... Well, May that time of the month is when---" I came out of that room traumatized so I won't tell you exactly what she said.

I bit my lip as I saw the hallways split, one led downstairs and the other led to the bathroom. Which side should I take?

Wouldn't it be embarrassing to go to the nurse office and tell her you don't know if you're on your period? I headed over to the bathroom and ran inside closing the door behind me and checking the stalls for any other girls.

I sighed in relief, no signs of human life other than me.

I was about to go inside the bathroom when I took a quick glance of myself in the bathroom mirror, I shrieked.

The shrill sound echoed throughout the bathroom as I stared at my ears.

Not ears though, Cat ears.

My cat ears are a nice orange-cream color... They look cute actually, I cocked my head to the side as I moved closer to the bathroom mirror on the wall about a foot off the sink.

I touched my new ears and my eyes widened as I realized they aren't fake.

100% Real cat ears.

I grabbed my ear and pulled but cringed at the pain, okay then, they're my ears.

I have cat ears.

Oh my god! I'm going to be a freak for the rest of my life! What are others going to say when they see me in the hallway? Maybe I can switch schools or something!

Yes, switch schools... Or I could get home schooled!

My eyes seemed sharper than usual now because I instantly caught sight of the fluffy orange-cream tail swishing behind me.

I have a tail!

I squeaked, ears are easy to hide but not a tail!

What's going on with me?

My hands instantly shot out to pat my pockets until they felt my new phone. I need to call mom now!

That's when the pain started.

My throat felt dry and I couldn't even scream as pain coursed through my body and I fell to the floor hitting my head against the white tiles.

I managed a groan as the pain increased.

Make it stop!

I felt bile rise up my throat and that sweet taste I got in my mouth before I barfed, ugh, if I barfed it would be all over my hair.

Blah!

And... I barfed.

The barf is filled with pieces of pancake and it has a gross color to it. I wanted so badly to clean it up and be clean but my body seemed to be paralyzed in pain.

Suddenly the pain stopped completely. It all just came to end like a clap. I got up on all fours and noticed how everything seemed bigger around me, I should probably get off the ground.
