Hey! I'm not sure if this is going to be a two-shot or not. It might be multi-chapter. I'm still not sure. Here's a question: Would you guys rather shorter chapters and frequent updates, or longer chapters (I'm talking 4,000-8,000 words, here) and weekly updates? But, I hope you enjoy this one.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the plot!
Miranda's POV:
I was in a panic. I'd had no experience whatsoever! I was freaking out!
"Miranda?" Emily's voice called out.
I sobbed a little more.
"Miranda, Mrs. Watson sent me to check if you were okay in here. No one else is here, so you could tell me."
"Emily…"
She figured out what stall I was in, and opened the door and stepped in. At least I was in the handicap stall or she wouldn't be able to fit.
"What's wrong?" she asked. But her eyes widened when she saw me. "Oh my goodness! Did you call your mother?"
"No, but I was about to," I said, and a tear escaped my eye. This couldn't be happening to me. It couldn't!
"You should really call her. She would be a big help in this."
"No… I'll be fine. I'm Athena's granddaughter," I said, but mumbled the last part.
"So… you want me to get you a…" she questioned, not sure if she should say the word or not, but she made a little hand gesture.
I nodded. Where was she going to find one anyway?
"Okay. I'll get one from Mackenzie," she said, walking out of the stall. Mackenzie…? She was the last person on my mind who would have something like that.
I was not going to tell my mom… I don't know why, but I had a feeling I shouldn't… She'd tell Dad, and then some of her friends, and some of her friends' kids will hear, and tell the whole school. Same with Dad… Parents can't be trusted these days.
Then I heard someone walk back in. I froze.
"I got one!" Emily shouted. I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shh!"
"Sorry," she whispered.
She walked in and handed me the purple and blue wrapped U by Kotex tween pad. I looked at it funny, squirmed, and then, thank the gods, when I opened it, the little thingy had directions! I mean, I knew how to put it on, but I wasn't sure if it was going to be backwards…?
"Thanks, Emmy. You're the best."
"No prob."
"Did you tell her it was for me…?"
"Nope, she gave it, smiled, and said, 'good luck'."
"Wow.
"I didn't know she could be so nice, but since she experienced Aunt Flow's visit before, I guess she felt some sympathy."
"Oh. True."
By that time I was done sticking it to my boy shorts panties, whatever you want to call it, and pulled my skirt up.
"If Mrs. Watson or anyone else asks, I threw up and might need to call home. I really don't feel like continuing the day here."
"'Kay. Text you later?"
I nodded, and when we got to class, we told our lie, and Mrs. Watson believed us.
***Later***
I had just jumped into Mom's car.
"And you feel sick…?" she asked, smirking.
"Yeah, I threw up in the bathroom."
"Are you sure you're not trying to get out of the big math test today?"
I didn't even think of the math test, but that could be added to my list of reasons.
"No. I didn't feel good. My stomach hurts, Mom."
This time, she looked like she believed me, but still was a tiny bit suspicious.
"Okay… but I better never have had to leave work just to come get my 11-amost-12-year-old daughter from school, and learn she was faking."
I needed to roll my eyes at her, so I shut my eyes, and did it. That was my new trick not to get myself grounded.
"It's only 10:00 in the morning. You will be okay home alone by yourself while I'm at work?"
"Yeah. I've stayed home alone before."
She looked uneasy and concerned.
"Okay… you know what to do if a monster attacks, right?"
"Yes… Mom, we've been over this every time I'm being left home alone."
"Okay…"
By that time, we had arrived home, and I grabbed my schoolbag and hopped out.
"Bye, Mom, love ya."
"Love you, too." She said, and drove off after waiting for me to get inside the house.
I quickly ran to my room, and unplugged my phone.
Emmy BFF :D
iMessage (2)
I unlocked my phone.

Yeah, just got back.
Then the little typing bubble came up, signaling that she was typing.

I stripped out of my school uniform and put on a pair of comfy sweats and a Spongebob t-shirt. I put my jacket on, zipped it up, grabbed my wallet, put my phone in my pocket, and walked out the door, making sure I had my key before locking the door.
***After Miranda got back from the store***
When I walked in, thank the gods no one was home yet. I ran to my room, and walked in my bathroom connected to it, and hid my pads and tampons in a secret compartment only I knew about, and changed my pad. I was glad it was Friday. Maybe Emily could sleep over tonight, or vice versa.
I jumped into bed, and took a nap.
So, I hoped you guys like this chappie! Sorry if it's a little later than what it was supposed to be! I had gymnastics yesterday, but i sucked it up and wrote this chapter, but i couldnt post it because i basically passed out after writing it. Sorry if there are any mistakes on it. Please let me know if there are. BTW, this is NOT what happened to me, just puttin that out here. Id tell you guys, but it would be TMI. Please review!
