Why is it that I always get the worst cramps at school.
I seriously can't work for chemistry right now.
This happens when I'm not productive at all, and I hate it.
I put my head down on my desk during work period to try to sleep, but that is taken away from me as soon as I heard Ms. Schubert.
I quickly get my head up and Ms. Schubert tells me with her arms crossed, "And what are you doing, Ms. Hernandez?" She looks at me with a glare.
"I'm so sorry, it won't happen again." I immediately apologize to her and force myself to finish the lab analysis questions.
Why can't she be more nicer?
If she knew one of her students was not feeling well, then she should know about it.
This is another one of my symptoms that I get grumpy when I'm on my period.
Noelle noticed my condition and immediately knew what I needed. She sneakily packed in a pad in my bag for me and gave me two pills of painkillers.
I mouthed to her, "Thank you."
"Anytime," She mouthed back.
I took my water bottle and took the painkillers. I cautiously took the pad and hid it from my classmates underneath both my arms. Then, I walked to Ms. Schuberts desk and asked her, "Ms. Schubert, may I use the restroom?"
"Yeah, you can go. No one was before you." She says to me as she is grading our exams from last week.
"Thank you." I walked out of the classroom and went to the girls' bathrooms and into the stall.
After my business, I washed my hands, dried them, and walked back to my chemistry classroom.
I tried to finish as much as I could, but I just couldn't.
We had five minutes before the bell rang, and I packed my folder into my bag and zipped it up.
I wish I could just sleep.
Then, the bell rang, and the rest of the students zoomed out of the classroom. My friends were waiting for me, and I swung my backpack on my back and walked with Noelle to our lunch table.
I didn't talk much during lunch and didn't eat.
I swear I literally lose my appetite when I'm on my period.
I'm not joking, I'm dead serious.
"Come on, Ramona, just eat my burger." Evie insisted with courage.
"I don't want to throw up, though." I grumble tiredly.
No joke, even if I drink water, I will throw up no matter what.
"I know what you need."
I look up and see Miles, Sebastian, and Carlos taking their seat in our table with their food trays.
"You need nausea medicine." Miles tells me as he grabs it out and hands it to me.
"Thank you so much, I don't know what I would do without you, Miles." I thank him as I take the medication with a sip of water.
He smiles at my compliment and holds my hand comfortingly. Then, he lets go of my hand and says, "You should miss History and English. Nothing won't happen."
"I can't. Otherwise, my dad will kill me." I tell him as my dad is strict about my grades and skipping school.
"Respectfully, he should know that when you're nauseous and sick." Carlos states as he throws his fry into his mouth.
"Agreed." Jason said as he drank his water.
"Just take a bite of my burger. It won't hurt." Noelle insisted again.
Very persistent.
I know she is just looking out for me.
"Okay, if you say so."
She handed me her burger, and I took it, taking a bite out of it.
It tasted good, though. Not gonna lie.
"Can I have it all?" I ask her, taking another bite.
"Girl, take the whole burger, I don't need it." She reluctantly offered her burger to me, so I kept chewing.
My nausea faded away as soon as I finished my burger and took out my water bottle, instantly feeling the thirst of water. This is definitely a strange feeling. I'm so used to throwing up on my period, and I already feel much better now.
Sneakily, I took some of Carlos's fries. "Hey! That was my last one." He immediately frowned in sadness.
"You did offer one earlier, so I'm taking the offer back." I smiled devishly.
"Fair." He simpluly said and took a sip of his sprite.

The last bell rang, and I zoomed out of my US history classroom. I pushed open the doors of the school and felt a sudden breeze of warm, cool air hit my face. I trudged over to my car and turned the power of the car on.
I put my backpack in the passenger seat and hop in the driver's seat, turning the engine on and buckling my seatbelt. Then, I drive back home.
I arrived at my house and grabbed my backpack, and turned the power off of my car. I ringed the doorbell, and my mom opened it for me.
"Hey, mija. How was school?" She inquired as she returned to the kitchen area, grabbing the leftover food from yesterday's dinner.
"I battled through it lol, I got my, you know, period." I whisper 'period' so my dad doesn't hear me but loud enough for my mom to hear.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. You should rest today. Do homework on the weekend." She tells me.
"I will." I smile weakly as I feel the cramps again.
I go upstairs to my room and change into comfortable clothes. Then, I use the bathroom doing my business.
I seriously don't know how other girls use tampons. They probably feel uncomfortable.
I finish my business in the bathroom and wash my hands. I leave the bathroom, and I plop onto my bed in exhaustion. I get comfy and wrap my blanket around me.
If only I could just sleep.
However, that doesn't work on me.
I rest for a while, getting only thirty minutes of nap time.
Out of nowhere, someone knocks on my door.
"Istg if it's you, Carlos, I'm going to sue -" I immediately rash out because of my mood swings and hormones.
"It's not Carlos, it's me."
I look up and see Miles holding a handmade purple bouquet and my favorite chocolates. I start to tear up.
"Miles..." I trail off. "This is so sweet of you." I immediately cry. I try to get up to hug him, but he hugs me instead.
He releases the hug, and I take the bouquet of flowers, putting it on my bed. He kisses my forehead, and I quickly open the chocolates.
I munch on my chocolates, and he just stares at me.
"What? Did I do something?" I inquired.
"No, no. It's just that you look cute when you're grumpy." He tells me.
"Whatever floats your boat, I guess." I said as I don't look cute when I'm grumpy. I don't know what he's talking about.
I'm a living heir when I'm like this.
Anyway, he comforts me until I am all better. Then, for a while, he left as my cramps went away.
"He's a keeper." My mom suddenly states outside of my room.
Yeah, definitely.
