This is a story narrated by Kid, and don't look at me weird. I just thought of it randomly, and decided to post it. It's kinda cute, or atleast I think so...
It was late afternoon, and I was just checking my room for the hundredth time today, taking in its perfect symmetry. I sighed in bliss. I was alone in the house with Patty, since Liz had gone to the movies with Tsubaki. "Kid!" I heard Patty shout. There was something new in her voice, something strange. I got up quickly, worried.
"Yes Patty?" I said, entering her room. She was sitting on the floor, looking shocked. "I-I'm bleeding." she said in a quiet voice. I knelt down beside her and said, "You have bled before, just go get a band-aid." She looked at me, confused. "But I didn't get hurt." she said, puzzled. "Well, where are you bleeding?" I asked, looking her over. She seemed fine. Then she pointed down. I looked, and then I understood.
I was shocked. My first thought was to get Liz. but of course she wasn't there. I had no idea what to say. "Kid?" she asked, frightened. "Why did I have to do this?" I thought to myself in horror. Then I pulled myself together and said, "Do you remember ever having the talk?" She just stared at me. "About people's bodies changing?" "Oh! Yea, why?She's he asked. I sighed. "Well, this is one of those changes. This will happen to you once a month." "Huh? Can't you fix it?" She looked up at me, obviously very scared. "It's not a bad thing! It's also something even I can't stop." I quickly said. "It's just... what happens." I finished lamely. "Kid, i don't want this to happen. It's scary!" she said as she burst into tears. I bit my lip and hugged her, wiping her tears away. "It's ok. Don't cry Patty. Tears make you asymmetrical." I sighed, still trying to keep her tears from ruining her face. "It's not scary. It's just something that all girls have to go through." She quieted down, and I handed her Gigi, her favorite giraffe stuffed animal. I really had no idea how to deal with this. I got up and went to Liz's bathroom. I grabbed some pads and went back to Patty. "Here." I said roughly, and handed them to her. "Whats this?" she asked, turning them over in her hands. "Its something to catch the blood. Read the instructions, they will tell you how to use it." i said in a calm voice, not matching what I felt in side at all. "Oh." she said. She looked at them, and slowly read the instructions. She started to pull down her pants, and I quickly turned and left the room. "Kid?" she asked. I cringed, and turned around. But she had her pants on, and she wasn't upset. "Thanks." she said, and she hugged me. I awkwardly patted her back, then turned and left.
I felt so weird. Liz should have done that, not me! But at least it hadn't been that bad... I fled to my room, immersing myself in the symmetry, trying to forget what had just happened.
Yes, I know this is is a weird story, and it's not a very funny story either. I really have no idea why I wrote it. But if you can think of any ways to improve it, please let me know in the comments. Thanks for reading!
