Throwing yourself down to the floor to take a break from digging up the dead tree stumps around the Glade, Chuck came running up to you. His face sweaty and red from sprinting from the other side.
"What's up?" You asked, pushing the shovel away.
Chuck leaned on his knees and breathed in and out. "T-there's a box in the carriage with bandages in, Alby wants you to have a look. They're unlike anything we've seen before."
Titling your head, you followed and jogged after him; you narrowed your eyes at the huddle of boys around the crates which had come up with you a couple of weeks ago.
"Alby!" You called, he turned around with a small box in his hand. "Chuck said something about bandages?"
"Y/n! Look at these, we've never had anything come up from the creators like this." Newt shouted and you took the white box he was carrying.
Gally stood with his arms crossed, glaring at the thing in his hand. "See? I told you ever since you arrived things are changing. Why would they send these things up?"
Opening up the square in your hand, you snorted and picked the small white tube like thing inside. A plastic packet surrounded it. "T-this Gal?" You voice wobbled as you tried to contain your laughter.
"What are they?" Chuck peeped over Minho's bicep, his eyes wide.
Sighing, you mentally slapped yourself. Years of having no contact with a girl or with others had hit them hard and it was hilarious.
"These, my friend, are tampons."
"What in the shank is a tampon?" Newt squeezed his eyebrows together in confusion and shared a look with Thomas.
"You don't know what a-" You began but the look on their faces told you enough. Coughing you hovered it out in the middle of the circle they'd created around you. "A tampon is something you use- or something that I shall use when I'm on my period."
"What's a period?" Minho raised an eyebrow and Chuck gasped behind him.
"You have a disease? Thomas we need to get the medjacks now. These tampons aren't gonna protect you y/n!"
"Wait here y/n. I'll get help." Thomas said quickly, he turned to sprint towards the medjacks by the forest but you call out to stop his stupidity.
"Thomas! No, I don't have a disease and I don't need the medjacks either." You tried to explain and Gally snatched the tampon from your fingers.
"Why are they shaped like this? Is it a weapon we can use?"
"What?" You scoff. "No, God no you dim-witted skank. You stop the bleeding with these."
"You're injured?" Chuck gasped again, his brown curls bobbing as he stepped forwards looking all over you for external wounds.
"No, I'm not hurt, a period is just where you bleed."
"Bleed where?"
Laughing you gave him a playful shove. "You bleed out of your uhm, lady parts."
Their eyes widened as glanced down at your crotch. You saw Newt visibly shuffle a little farther away from you whilst Alby and Gally titled their heads trying to make sense of the situation.
"That's disgusting." Gally stated, peering at his own crotch as if it had started bleeding.
"Thanks." You say sarcastically.
Minho tapped a finger on his arm. "Is it infectious?"
"No only girls-"
"Will I start bleeding from my manly parts?" Chuck gulped at stared up at Thomas.
"No Chuck-" You try to speak again but Gally butts in.
"We should keep her in quarantine when it happens, the other skanks might catch it."
"I beg you're pardon? I'm not infec-"
"Good idea Gal. Alby let's hide these tampons so the other lads don't panic!" Chuck said quickly.
"Minho, do you know about any symptoms the period may have?" Thomas turned to him and they discussed the little they knew.
By now, you were fuming. They were hurriedly trying to dispose of the products which will help you when you're on your lady days and you threw the box at Gally's head; making him stop speaking.
"Shut up! All of you right now."
The all silenced at your tone and wavered in their spots.
"I do not have a disease you complete skanks. I am a girl, it's shucking nature stop throwing my things around." Grabbing the boxes from Minho, Newt and Gally you storm off and leave them in the dirt.
"Is being angry a symptom?" You faintly hear Chuck whisper to Minho, then a faint smacking noise and Chuck hissing as Minho's hand swiped the back of his head.
