It all began in the summer of 2017, the summer before 8th grade. I was 13 years old, and the last girl to get her period in my entire class. While I was watching Death Note on the TV, a show I was a fan of at the time, I was so excited to see the next episode...Until I walked out of the room for a drink and I felt a dampness in my blue skirt, presuming I must've sat in something, but having no idea what.
I was confused until I looked down...And there it was, blood. I was relieved I finally got it and took care of the pad situation myself. After all, I knew what to do more well than many other girls, this being a time I waited for. I told my friends all about it (we're all girls), and my best friend's first words about it? "You went into Death Note a girl and came out a woman."
