Plz no hate first story thanks 4 support :D
It has been several weeks since Frida, David, and Hilda have become friends. That fateful day Frida would choose Hilda and David for their nature project would be the beginning of an intimate and caring relationship between the three. Since then, they've fought (and helped) vitra, helped David face his fears, helped a troll reach its baby, and removed the banishment of the Lost Clan. Hilda and Frida's relationship has seriously grown since they've been through this all. But these upcoming days would put their friendship to the test.
That familiar bell rang to mark the end of break. Hilda, Frida, and David were headed inside to the bland classroom where they'd likely spend the next few hours learning about Trollberg's founder or some pointless math equations they will not even remember next year. But today was different. Frida was feeling a bit off. She no longer felt as if she had that 2 billion IQ boost as David would say. She was aching. She passed it off as just a stomach ache. She had to get through the day and a small ache would not hold her back from her enjoyment for the day.
Hours passed and the bell rang one last time to alert the students that it was time to leave. Frida, still feeling a bit uneasy, left the classroom as quickly and calmly as she could. The last thing she wanted was for Hilda or David to see a flaw in her demeanor. She was supposed to be the perfect one after all. As she walked outside, she heard a shout from the other side of the courtyard. It was David.
"Frida! Where are you going? We are still having that sleep over tonight aren't we?"
"Why of course Dav-," was all she could spit out before there was a sharp pain in her abdomen.
David knew something was wrong immediately when he saw Frida grasp her stomach and crumple to the ground.
"Hilda! Come help! Frida seems hurt!"
Frida was too embarrassed to let Hilda see herself like this. She pushed through her agonizing pain and got up to run.
"What about our sleepover?!" David yelled after her.
"Sure just come over whenever!" Frida shot back.
Hilda reached David and asked him what the problem was. David told her what had happened. Hilda was confused, but she also made it her mission to help Frida. It's what a Sparrow Scout should do. Help those in need.
Frida returned to her house and went straight up the stairs before her mother could greet her. It's not like her mother noticed the difference though. She rushed to her room and began to inspect herself in the mirror. Nothing stood out but she still had that horrible aching pain in her abdomen. Instead of asking anyone what could be wrong with her, she took an ibuprofen and ended it at that.
Frida headed downstairs to the kitchen. The clock with its soft ticking read 4:32. David and Hilda were supposed to be arriving at 6. She had plenty of time to set up and write an organized schedule for the night. It would be the first time Hilda and David would both be sleeping over together. She was determined to make it one of the best sleep overs ever in the history of sleep overs. Maybe she would even get a badge for it. But she would have to invent it first.
Hilda and David finally came over. Frida, with her lessened pain, was free to enjoy her night with her friends. They explored the town with Hilda's newly acquired bike riding skills, watched a scary movie against David's judgement, and shared secrets with each other. David even confessed his crush on the Mara that had haunted him countless times previously. He missed her, but not the bad dreams she brought with her. During that time however, Frida's painkillers had worn off. She was now feeling the full effect of this new experience.
"Frida are you sure you're feeling ok?" asked Hilda softly as Frida grasped her stomach region hoping for some kind of comfort.
"I'm f-fine," replied Frida. "Just a small stomach ache."
"Frida you can open up to me about these things. My mother was just recently talking to me about this thing that happens to girls as they gr-"
"NO!" Frida yelled. "I dont need help from anyone. I am fine and will figure it out on my own!"
"Uhh Frida? Were you sitting on a tomato earlier?" David halfjokingly remarked. "Your pants are awfully red."
Frida looked down at the wet mess that began to form in the front area of her new grey pants her mother had gotten her. Her face became tomato red as she bolted out of the room with tears welling up in her eyes.
Hilda shouted "Frida come back! I was only trying to help…"
Hilda and David looked at each other in confusion and shock.
"What now?" asked David
Hilda responded, "She only headed for the bathroom. We'll give her time to cool off then check on her but for now let's inform her parents. I'm sure they would want to know about this."
