I walked inside the cafeteria once again, all the attention immediately shifting towards me.
I ignored it and stayed calm while I made my way back to my family and their friends.
I sat down next too Alex once again and started eating a little sandwich.
When I was done eating, I told my family that I was going back to my friends, probably to explain what the hell just happened.
They all gave me a hug while their friends just gave me a little wave.
I put my trash from lunch in a trash back before picking up my schoolbag.
I walked back to the table where my friends are sitting at.
"Am I still welcome?" I questioned hesitant.
What if they don't want to be friends anymore?
What if they hate me now?
What if -"of course you are, sit down" Felix cut of my thoughts.
I sat down next to Felix while the rest looked at me expectantly.
"Okay I'll explain. So to put it simple, I am the daughter from Arsenio Hernandez, so I am the sister from Blake, Xander, Xavier, Antonio, Lorenzo, Elijah and Allesandro. The others are my cousins and Giovanni and Rosa Hernandez are my grandparents." I said.
They all looked shocked to say the least.
"so you are Valentina Hernandez, the Valentina Hernandez who was kidnapped." Elliot declared.
Savannah gave Elliot a kick under the table, "you can't just say that. Those things are sensitive." she scolded him.
"oh..I'm sorry Val" he apologized.
I smiled at the nickname, "it's okay Eli" he too now smiled at the nickname.
"but please don't treat me any different now" I quickly added.
"we won't" Valerie said where the others quickly agreed on, nodding their heads.
"so to change the subject, there is a sleepover that we need to organize." Savannah said.
"sleepover?" I questioned.
"yes, so basically every month we go to someone's house and do a sleepover. Every month someone else is, Allesia was last month, that means that the circle starts again unless Val you want to join then we do it at your house before the circle starts again." Valerie explained.
"oh yeah, seems fun, I'll ask my dad later. When exactly would we do it and what do I need to prepare or buy, what do you do at a sleepover?" I started rambling.
"val?"
"yeah?"
"Calm down, everything will be fine" Allesia said
I gave her a sheepish smile.
"the last week of the month, so two weeks after this one, then is the sleepover." Thea said.
"and normally we just go to the mall or to the movies or something before going back to the house we're staying at. There we just do dumb stuff, trying to bake, watching movies, truth or dare, swimming,..there is a lot you can do, trust me" Valerie continued.
"okay, I'll ask my dad but next week. We have this big test coming up so if I have good grades on there then it'll all be okay, I hope" I said
The others just nodded before the bell went signalling us to go to class.
Allesia and I quickly made our way to our economy class that we will have for two periods after each other.
--------
It was now the end of the day and I can't complain.
I knew my anxiety would make some things difficult like answering to questions in class or back in the cafeteria but it was good for the most part.
From all the classes that I've had today, I like the teachers, so that's a good thing.
I walked out of school, saying goodbye to my friends before making my way to the parking lot.
Arriving there, I suddenly started feeling really uneasy.
Then suddenly from behind me, someone grabbed my shoulder.
I gripped their hand before throwing them over me.
The girl started fake crying.
I immediately let her hand go and stepped away.
"sorry" I apologized.
She stood up and walked towards me, "stay away from the Hernandez family little girl, they are ours" she said pointing to herself and another few barbies behind her.
I rolled my eyes muttering a no before walking away.
She looked shocked at my answer but recovered from that in a blink then followed me.
I walked to the cars, trying to find my brothers.
The girl tried to grab me again, but I quickly resisted her grip.
"Can you leave me alone?" I asked.
"no, I need you to tell me that you aren't going to hang out with the Hernandez family"
She is just like Britney, wouldn't it be perfect if her name was Bianca.
"Is your name Bianca by any chance?"
"no and that's not the point. Stay away from my man"
"no, stop asking. I'm not going to stay away from the Hernandez family."
The bitch really tried to slap me, keyword: tried.
I blocked the slap and punched her in the face.
I turned around and quickly walked away.
Soon enough I found my brothers' car.
They were already waiting for me when I arrived.
Shit, that Bianca girl followed me.
I hugged my brothers before putting my bag in the car, I changed my books out a few minutes ago, so I could make homework later.
When I turned back around, Bianca was there with a bloody nose.
"no-" I said "-I'm not going to stay away from the Hernandez family"
My brothers looked confused as fuck.
I don't think she noticed that they were standing there.
"you are, if you know what is good for you. Stay away from them."
Before I could even answer, Blake did, "my sister is not going to stay away from me" he said harshly, pulling me close to him and the rest of my brothers.
"s-sister" she stuttered shocked.
I nodded, "I'm not going to stay away from my family Bianca"
"my name is not Bianca" she said furious before turning around and leaving.
When she left we all stepped into the car except for Blake who was going with Smoke (his motorcycle), I was too tired from today so I went with the car.
------------------------ two weeks later
School has been going on for about two weeks, so next weekend is the sleepover.
I still need to ask dad about that, but today is the day that I'm asking.
You might be wondering 'why wait so long?'
Well the answer to that, is...I've had a lot of tests these past few weeks, where I haven't showed any of to dad.
Dad is my guardian so he needs to sign every test that I get back, so when he's done with that then I'm asking him.
By him seeing those good grades, he's going to give in easier.
Smart right?
I quickly made my bed before I got ready to go to the gym.
School has been going really good to be honest.
My friends and I have become closer these few weeks, we even have this group chat, it's hilarious.
When my first day of school was over, dad and the rest had many questions.
They were happy that I'd made friends, but to be sure of their intentions and stuff; dad checked their backgrounds even those from their families.
I thought that dad only did that to me, but turns out that he does that to every friend that one of us makes just to be sure that they aren't a danger to us.
When they heard about Elliot and Felix, well let just say that I needed to do some convincing that they are good people who wouldn't want to date me.
Plus Felix and Savannah are already dating and I have this little feeling that Elliot might be gay.
But I'm not sure about that soooo yeah.
The whole school now also knows that I'm the sister from Blake and Xander and Xavier and blah blah blah.
Also I like every teacher that I have except for one.
This stupid annoying bitch from French.
Like why is she so fucking annoying, I really hate her.
She hates me too though, always picking me to answer these stupid questions.
I hate speaking up in class and she knows that.
That Bianca girl has been trying to become friends just like some other people since they heard I'm their sister to get closer to them, but I've been turning them all down in a nice way.
I've been going to the torture chambers to give them hell multiple times a week, it's been really fun.
My psychologist has made me face these things from my past where later on in the day, I've gotten breakdowns from, so that's..something.
Of course my dad or brothers have helped me then, I also make sure to at least be in the same room as one of them, just to make sure that certain urges don't come back .
After about two hours in the gym, I made my way back to my room.
I quickly hopped in the shower and started washing myself off.
When I was done washing my body, I started washing my hair.
While I was washing the soap out of my hair, I suddenly felt this sharp pain in my lower stomach.
I whimpered in pain when it got worse and let myself fall to the ground.
It was like someone was repeatedly stabbing me in my stomach while drilling into it and burning it before throwing some acid on it.
It was like one of those high levels in the last test.
Fuck, what the hell.
I cried in pain when it got worse before it slowly disappeared.
After about 5 minutes the pain stopped, only a painful ache staying there.
I took a few deep breaths before I stood up again and continued with my shower.
I've been feeling these kind of pains the last few days, but I thought it was just from eating something wrong or maybe stress, but it has never been this bad.
Maybe I'll ask Elijah about it later today.
When I was done showering, I dried myself of before walking to my closet.
I picked out some comfy clothes, not really feeling myself or feeling good today.
I put on some sweatpants and a baggy shirt, I'm going to steal a hoodie from one of my brothers.
I'd already done all my homework yesterday so I didn't need to worry about it this weekend.
I'm glad I did that because I really don't feel like doing anything today.
I grabbed my book that I'm reading right now and my iPad with my phone and AirPods.
Before I walked downstairs, I quickly walked in to Allesandro's room and grabbed the hoodie from him that I always steal.
All of my brothers and I have this kind of understanding between us that I technically own a hoodie from each one of them that I can steal whenever I want to but they can also still wear it, you know what I mean?
Well when I had put that hoodie on, I ran back to my room remembering that I also need to grab my tests.
When I got them, I walked downstairs.
I put my stuff in the kitchen except for my tests, pen and phone before walking to the dining room where everyone was already waiting for me.
I gave everyone a hug but ended with dad.
"Good morning principessa"
"Morning" I muttered back, hugging him tighter when I felt that painful ache growing worse.
Dad picked me up and placed me on his lap, "You okay?"
"Yeah, my stomach just hurts" I said.
"If you want to take anything for it just ask okay"
"Mhm okay, oh can you sign these?" I asked remembering the tests that need to be signed.
"What do I need to sign?" He asked.
"Oh just my tests that I got back from the past two weeks." I said putting them on the table with the pen on them.
He looked at them all one by one and signed them.
When he was done he looked back up, looking proud "All A plus', I couldn't be prouder. Good job principessa." He praised me, hugging me tight to him again.
"Thank you dad" I said softly, hugging him close.
I really don't feel good.
"Baby are you sure that you're okay?" Dad asked worried.
"Yeah" I said.
Come on, I need to get my shit together.
It's just a stomach ache, I'll be fine, I've been through worse in my life, so why am I being so sensitive about it.
I stood back up, taking my tests and putting them in the kitchen with the rest of my stuff.
While walking back in the dining room, I felt like....like something.
I can't explain, it was like...like I was peeing my pants without wanting too, so I quickly rushed to the bathroom.
Blood
Oh no no no why
Why now
I fucking started my first period ever.
