Ready. Set. Scared.

For me it wasn't really scary because I was eager to menstruate. But when it came, I couldn't tell what it was. I thought I soiled my P.E. kits in the field.

Later, I went home and told my mom and sister that I think I've started my period. That's when it hit me. I was scared now. My mom was able to always buy packs of pads, so it has not been a tough road apart from the cramps.

So far, it has been... an experience.
