Hey…
Oh hey, what’s with the smile?
I don’t know, just having a good day I guess.
Oh, cool…
Yea…
So I got my period today.
Gross.
What?! It’s a good thing.
Well, you don’t have to tell the whole world.
I just told you.
Yea… which sounded like, “hey world, no joey in my pouch!â€
Ok.
Hey, I’m sorry, you know: school, stress.
Oh don’t worry
I thought at least he would be happy.
A smile if I smiled.
Uh! I wish my period would come.
I wish I had better news.
When will he ask me?
Over the summer I bet!
It’ll be romantic.
Flowers.
In his arms.
Then I’ll tell him the news.
Then he’ll smile
Wow. She looks great today.
I wonder if she wearing red panties.
Ugh! Why does she put her period in my head?
Yet another reason I can’t bear it.
At least she’s not prego.
I really don’t have the money for it.
Clinics are expensive.
I wonder if dad would help.
As he leaves, he hugs her.
Kisses her and says he’d like to be thought of throughout the day
Her eyes shift in a dreary quarry.
She lifts her head and smiles.
One more kiss.
Another lie.
Another day.
And all while he thinks of her sister.
She thinks marriage.
Maybe a kid to keep
He hates kids
Kids are door nails to him
Better off dead
She weak
Fragile.
